I need to create a curve based on this reference (only a 3D tube/line), but it seems hard to make it exact. Is there a way I can make it exactly look like the one in the image?

$\begingroup$ Thank you, but it looks like a circle, can i put the spiral like a single line, like the picture that i posted? its the first time i use this option so i don't know :( $\endgroup$– beavoruCommented Jan 12, 2015 at 15:35

Add a Path (Add-->Curve-->Path). Enter Edit Mode, select the curve with A and subdivide it as many times as you like (W).
Now select every third point of the curve.
Grab the points up.
You may notice, that the curve is not even in some places, so correct it.
Snap the cursor to the end of the curve, enable Proportional Editing and set the Falloff Type to Sphere.
Scale it horizontaly, setting the proportional size to a proper value (use a mouse scroll).
Here is the final result.

$\begingroup$ Wait, i could do this, because seems perfect to me, but i already had a curve, and it looks like this:fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/… As i see now the only problem that i got is the distance between the vertices, can i apply your method to my already made curve? $\endgroup$– beavoruCommented Jan 12, 2015 at 15:42

$\begingroup$ I'm already doing this method, and it's working fine :) $\endgroup$– beavoruCommented Jan 12, 2015 at 16:05
