The only reason I do it is to burn off any residue (oils, etc.) that may be left on the wire from the manufacturing process. Maybe that the wire comes from the factory clean as a whistle but I'm a little OCD about such things.I don't heat mine before building either. *shrug* Works for me - I use 32g or 30g, 30g preferred. I always fire it on the atty and pinch with tweezers a couple times and make any other adjustments I may need. I believe the preheating makes the thicker wire easier to wrap.
Supe, love that intro! Really!More great vids and so nice of you to take the time to do this.
