[@topdownunder824]

Best video on KZbin for reverse coiling. A lot of people don’t reverse or reverse but don’t heat again. Well done mate 👍🏼👌🏼

[@goodjihad]

Thanks 👍 Glad it helped!

[@MrMeganatty]

@@goodjihad Is it worth it to reheat after reverse coiling? What happens if you don't

[@intensedabberoniJG]

@@MrMeganatty i think this method works because he heats it up slowly for pretty short amount of time, so when he reverses the coil theres a good amount of tension pulling it back together for a tighter coil. heating it a second time fully sets the techflex, this time with the existing tension from the reverse coil pulling it back together and making the finished coil as snappy as it can be. a lot of people will fully set the techflex and reverse it (which i think is a valid way to get a springy cable?) but they'll also reheat it and ruin the techflex. as far as i know, this method works because the techflex does not set before the reverse coil, but there are a variety of ways to coil the cable without a second heating

[@mitszponte6786]

Where did you get the automatic coil thing from?

[@mdsergeplusplus]

Hi, dumb question, what does the techflex do exactly, is it just for aesthetics? Thanks for the great video.

[@goodjihad]

Most of the time depending on the cable it helps maintain the coil shape due to how techflex is made. It's essentially a thermoplastic that can mold with heat. Otherwise yes it is aesthetic as well and stylish. Not to mention the sleeving can act as a protector against cuts. So it is much more durable.

[@tyler8024]

Welcome back JUJU! I hope to see some nice content from you! (This is Digital_Tech btw haha.)

[@goodjihad]

Thanks for watching Digital :)

[@prasadpawar6166]

the tutorial is awesome dude but as some of us don't have oven at home can you suggest some different method to coil the cable or make a video about it cause i tired coiling the cable using a hair dryer and it didn't work I've seem many youtubers do with hair dryer and there's work just fine maybe i am doing something wrong can you make a diff tutorial on coiling the cable

[@goodjihad]

Hot pot of water will do the same trick. Hot air gun at around 100c will also work. Chuck it into a cardboard box to make a makeshift oven.

[@prasadpawar6166]

@@goodjihad how much time are we suppose to rest them on the rod ??

[@iamvinceong6493]

Still the best tutorial video on cable coiling. :) just wondering how can you do a side exit with the rigid flange? Or should I just use tape on the other end? Thanks!

[@goodjihad]

Could definitely use tape. You could make a custom flange with a hole in it so it goes through it.

[@1nvariant]

hey could you tell me what is the diameter of the rod, and the inner diameter ofthe coupler

[@VaracolacidVesci]

excelent video but isn't baking the cable once reversed become non reversed? if you bake the cable at the same temperature same time, you are realigning the internal molecules to conform to the new "coil" so it becomes the normal coil again.

[@goodjihad]

The extra baking helps to align the coil when you reverse it and it depends on the type of cable if it affects the snap.

[@xiroshimaa]

Ay you are finally back!

[@goodjihad]

Yo! Thanks for watching!

[@rickyalejandro6267]

podrias poner los link? aunque sea solo para darme una idea de como se llaman y conseguir aqui en donde vivo el conector si lo encuentro tal y como es, lo que no se es la medida del la funda del cable

[@Descendophobia]

Hi, dumb question, but why can't you use the same oven for this as eating? Is it the smell or something? Should I get a dedicated toaster oven for this?

[@goodjihad]

Any oven is fine as long as it is not too close to the heating coil, otherwise the wrap will melt. experiment!

[@Chris_P_Bacon]

Great video! Especially the reverse coiling part was helpful

[@goodjihad]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrHowlingblast]

Wait... You have to heat the coil a second time after the reverse coiling? How does that work? I was told not to do that because it would lose its springyness by that.

[@goodjihad]

The second heating is to make the coil nice and straight. It should not lose springiness and if it does do it for a little less. The cable you must be using is likely not the best for coiling. Don't expect the same results as me. You need to do your own testing. :)

[@MrHowlingblast]

@@goodjihad thank you ! :)

[@marek_sebesta]

9:40 why do you soldered it to the housing?

[@goodjihad]

Electromagnetic interference and static interference can stop the cable working over long distances. It should be done in general.

[@doeliy]

so there are 2 layers on the cable, the paracord and then the techflex right? btw how many meters of cable it takes to make 1 set of usb coils?

[@goodjihad]

Around 3m

[@albworkshop]

thanks for sharing these amazing tips one question : all the cable go to the oven (so the part not coiled too), does it affect the bend capacity of straight part of the cable ?

[@goodjihad]

If you coil the uncoiled bit into loops it will pack away nicely. I usually just loop it around the rod into large circles.

[@karanoojha4620]

I’m gonna do this soon. I was wondering if you’d recommend clear or white tech flex on a white paracord?

[@mohidkhan9496]

I know it's a dumb question but can I use the oven again for food after baking coils.

[@goodjihad]

Yes. It should be totally fine. If worried give it a wipe down :)

[@Kaorudark]

Hey there should be an cable relief to protect the Cables from pulling and kinking (hopefully these are the right words) The Shielding Connectors could help here but better there are more Support.

Hi! im from ind, i want to know how to make the stick with locking for coiled cable

[@VladQuake]

What does putting it into the oven the second time do? Does putting it into cold water after oven (first or second time) improve anything?

[@goodjihad]

It maintains the coil snappiness and strength.

[@NOTDEXD]

Bro, I put the wire in the oven at 120 ° for 15 minutes and the core wires melted. Can you help me? Thank u. Very easy and clean the tutorial. Except for the melt lol

[@goodjihad]

[@MilosStefanovic86]

Hi. First of all, thanks for sharing your methods. Perfect cables with ease. Just one question, as I plan to use an cable with already done usb-s on the ends, is it safe to put it like this in the oven? Wil the usb ends not melt?

[@andreidejesus620]

Don't. Mine melted with 120°C less than 15 mins. My whole cable melted.

[@MilosStefanovic86]

@@andreidejesus620 thanks for the advice, but I already have done the cable and it didn’t melt. It probably depends on the cable used

It totally depends on the cable being used.

[@papilcost]

Ofc but i'll be more boring

[@bolivansek4337]

Sir where can i buy that so long paracord link yours ?

[@pook2830]

Isn't the point of reversing a cable to have the molecular bonds straining against their natural coil direction? If you reverse it, THEN re-bake it, or reheat it, surely you are in the same position as you were _before_ you reversed it?

[@goodjihad]

The reheating for less time after the reverse coil allows it to form more nicely when it comes off the rod. If you just reheat it and then reverse it the coils come out wonky depending on the materials used. My approach gives more people a chance to make a great coiled cables that look great with most materials and with incredible results. You want a nice coil but also good snap so it returns nicely to its original shape.

[@youtubeaccount0x073]

Hello JUJU, Is the techflex that you buy the one from aliexpress or is the real techflex flexo PET sleeving? DO you notice a difference between the Ali express version and the non Ali express version?

[@goodjihad]

I buy real techflex. I haven't tried the fake stuff. I imagine it's the same. I linked cause it's cheaper and probably easier to source for everyone.

[@lookslikerain75]

I cannot get reverse coil to work followed instructions coil becomes lose and extending the coils they turn sideways and do not spring back looked way better before the reverse bit.

[@goodjihad]

Your cable or your paracord lining is loose or the cable is not the right material that supports coiling. It needs to be a plastic that supports thermoforming like TPU or PVC. Not all cables are equal here and it's a lot of practice and testing.

[@goodjihad]

Yes but not as reliable.

[@danielangeles86]

Is the techflex necessary or can we just do it with paracord?

[@goodjihad]

Depends on the type of cable used and its material. If the material is not right it will not be able to thermally reshaped into a permanent coil. It will slowly unravel despite reversing the coil. Hope that makes sense :)
