built myself a proper Micro Coil \ud83d\ude42 I used 10 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal wrapped on a 2.25mm drill bit:<\/p>\n<p><a

Really good, but I knew right away that I wanted to back off my resistance a bit, but there was more playing that needed to be done.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to see the difference between organic cotton balls and the Organic Cotton Hemp Wick I got from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modnworld.com\/product_p\/chw.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Mod And World<\/a>.\u00a0 A single strand was too loose in this hole (insert joke here) so I needed to get two strands through.\u00a0 I used a piece of 28 gauge Kanthal as a fish hook to get it through the coil.<\/p>\n<p><a

always looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Off the bat, I liked the flavor of the cotton better, but the wicking of this cord a little better.\u00a0 That could, of course, be a function of the amount of cotton or placement so more playing would be prudent.\u00a0 Also, I didn&#8217;t boil the hemp wick before installing it.\u00a0 So the wick performance and flavor is still up in the air at this point, at least for me.<\/p>\n<p>But then, I did the most important experiment directed at the thing that has been bothering me most about Micro Coils.\u00a0 If I look at the design, it leads me to believe that a certain amount of vapor is being blocked because of the inherent design of this coil.\u00a0 Since the coils are touching, vapor that could be produced isn&#8217;t being produced as it&#8217;s being blocked by the coil, so what I did was this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_4168.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

wraps getting me to 1.2 Ohms and the Organic Cotton Hemp Wick.<\/p>\n<p>(not quite as tight as I&#8217;d like it, I know you guys are looking at that last wrap \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise it honestly worked better than the &#8220;spread coil&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very impressed with the performance, flavor, and vapor this method of coiling is producing.\u00a0 Not to mention the ease of creating and installing this coil.\u00a0 I&#8217;m now a true believer.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in the Micro Coil vid, what I was after is a long lasting build that I didn&#8217;t have to recoil.\u00a0 You simply remove the old wick, perhaps rinse the coil off, do some dry burning, and install a new wick.\u00a0 Increased flavor, vapor, and throat hit are wonderful fringe benefits.<\/p>\n<p>My compliments to all the people involved in the creation and spreading of this method of building.<\/p>\n<p>Special shout to Pete54!\u00a0 Thanks for that email and tips&#8230; and to everyone else who sent their ideas and comments along!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now folks.\u00a0 Hope to see many of you in California!<\/p>\n<p>Happy coiling
