Bro, yes, it's funny. When I was making nearly contact micros back in the day I found the vape better at that smaller diameter. I carried that over into my contact micro forray. Then I decided to bend a 2.0mm rod for my gizmo. It vaped excellently and yes, wicking was easier.
So it was only natural to try the 2.0mm pole on the coil-master. It vaped excellently and like I said, IMO, fired more evenly and held its end turns better than one wound under inconsistent tension.
So, you know me, if it's easier, I can consistently duplicate it and it produces the same or better results, I'm all in.
So yes, my coil building means, methods and materials have been evolving after a rather stagnant period of building basically the same coils but changing the methods I used to get there.
With all the air available to me now, I'm stuck right on 8 winds 2.0mm ID 27 ga kanthal A1 netting 0.43 to 0.47 depending on the atty.
So easy to duplicate, such a cig killing vape.
But I do have a slight advantage over ya'll (that's easilly cured with money):
They originally sent me 2 red ones. I sent one to scydivasloth to back check my findings.
I still had one red one and the new blue one they sent me. I mixed and matched them
That's not necessary, but having 2 means you have 2 matching poles for mounting dual coils . Also notice that those poles have a small lip on them to push a coil over and they are slipperier than music wire so you can use the same pole you wound on and reinsert into your coil to cue it
I have an idea that Ima talk to them about to improve this deal a bit but Ima wait till I have it drawn up
I think I remember you mentioning in a vid I recently watched that you liked red/black combo. I was looking at the coil master site and see that they offer a black one.
