micro coil or chimney?

[Marcodiego]

Hi all!

I'm using a kayfun Lite Plus right now. Anyone find any major differences between using a normal micro coil build and the chimney micro build? Just wondering if I should do it for any real reason besides the fun of it.....

Best way to find out would be to try it out. ;-)

I only tried the chimney build 2 or 3 times. For me, there wasn't any noticeable difference. But one thing I like about it is that I could go thru quite a few tanks before I had to rewick. The coil was also less gunked up.

But I went back to the horizontal coil because it's easier for me to change the wicks.

Have a go at it to satisfy your curiosity.

With vertical coils on KF type attys... I find results similar to those of danny4x4.
I've tried both cotton ball and hemp fiber - fit coils with a gap between positive block and coil, and no gap at all - I've done "folded parallel wire" coils, so both tails come out the bottom.
Although I may still experiment (and isn't that the whole point of RBAs ;-) )... horizontal coils continue to be my preferred type.

If you can power it, a twisted wire chimney coil is very hard to beat on vapor and flavor.

But I'll warn you, you've got to have a LOT of power to get that working right. 12 watts at a bare minimum, and it really doesn't shine until the 15+ watt range.

I just run a micro coil. I've tried making a chimney coil, but couldn't get it in place. I'd imagine the vape to be a lot warmer and denser since the air is traveling through the coil and there is cotton making contact all around the coil.

^^^ That is serious business!!!

I've heard this type of build called The Clapton (like a guitar string)
