This thread, attached to the coil sticky thread, has a bunch of user reported weights in it...

Here's one of them concerning the WOT, but there are conflicting weights for it in there so perhaps there is a newer version that weighs less like Neil said below...

Critter here are some coil weights to add to your chart. I just did these. The WOT I have is a new one and is a little lighter than the one you have posted, perhaps they are using a lighter filler now? These weights are without the covers.

WOT......27.848 oz

10" Tornado .......23.132 oz

8" Tornado.......15.534 oz

8" Coinsearch......17.030 oz (didnt take a pic of this one on the scale)

For me, the 10" Tornado without a coil cover but with 4 or 5 coats of spray on bed liner on the bottom weighs 23.3 ounces on a digital scale, so that's right in line with the above weight. All the above weights are without coil covers and with the coil cable included on the scale, but the thread has weights people did of various coils with and without coil covers too.

One of the more important factors of how heavy a coil feels on the shaft is whether it has a center mounting point or not to not make the detector feel nose heavy. I have used two coils that only had a half ounce difference in weight, yet the one with a more towards the back mounting point felt much heavier to me than it's half ounce more weight would have made me think.
