    It seems none of our Irish vendors stock these , anyone care to recommend one to me . I'm looking for the one with the pointed nose for taking the cotton out of the subtank coils :) . I found one or two on Amazon, nice, suitable for what I want and cheap at around £3 , but with post it was costing nearly €15 . I also tried Maplins today , all they had were complete crap Rolsen (?) ones and they wanted €10 odd for them .

    Chemists? The pointy eyebrow tweezers should do, and you kill two birds with the one stone.

    I went into Boots this morning and picked up a twin pack one pointed one ordinary for €10 , but both were good quality . The pointed one is perfect for what I need and the other one did a lovely job on my eye brows :D , I must say I look quite fetching .

    Could not live without ceramic tweezers now. A must if you are making microcoils. Got mine from Octopus ecig but I'm sure one can find them closer.

    Do they need to be ceramic?

    As the op didn't ask for ceramic, I was only suggesting bog standard, cheap pointed tweezers. :o

    Nope , I am not in need of ceramic ones as yet and my current plans wouldn't see me requiring one in the foreseeable future .

    Why? You'll need to pluck them every week or so to keep the shape.

    You can get sharp pointed ones in beauty supply shops, I know sounds weird, but there used to apply false eyelashes (I was a beauty student)... And it's great to get/grab anything small... I've used it many times cleaning out coils and clearomisers.
