    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Ok so you guys say that long legs don't matter, right? What about if they're really long? I tried welding NR wires and wrapping a micro coil, which went good, except when I torched the coil and squished it over and over the wires broke off. So now I'm wondering if I could just use a single...

    Just GG

    It came with your Ithaka? It's a replacement for the longer nut that goes in the ceramic, it helps with the gurgling issues some people have.

    Ithaka official

    I've got all my o-rings, I think the issue was that I started wrapping my positive wires around the post twice, which is pushing down on the o-ring and deforming it a bit, so it would leak out the bottom, very slowly but it would be a little wet every now and then. Seems to have stopped with...

    I think I solved my leaking issue, I only wrapped the positive post wire once like I used to and didn't screw the rebuildable part in so hard.. Seems to be fine now!

    Yup, white Martha Stewart Cotton Hemp yarn... vaped very very good all night, I will update as I vape more, though.. but seriously very impressed. Would love if this stayed a great wick, it's so cheap for a huge roll of it!

    Ekowool

    I got silica through the ekowool, I'm sure you can get cotton hemp through.. What I did was I put the ekowool on a needle and then taped the end of the silica really tight so the diameter was as small as possible, then taped that to the end of the hollow needle and just pulled the ekowool over...

    Ekowool

    So far so good on the cotton hemp yarn! I used 3 strands for each coil, cut 2 of them at the coils so one strand is down the channels. I might only use 2 next time actually, 3 strands is pretty thick. It seems to be wicking good but I just started vaping it. I don't notice any taste, I boiled...

    Ekowool

    Yeah I also had good results with putting silica inside the ekowool and only having the silica go down the channels (eko only on coils) and that also worked good but the draw was stiffer, it took up a lot of room but maybe I'll try that again with just one strand of cotton hemp yarn.. I think...

    Ekowool

    I've tried the 2mm hollow core ekowool. What kind of juice are you using? I use pretty thick juice, mostly VG so I think that plays a big part in the wicking issues I had. Ekowool with krinkle method did work out good though, I still may try that again.

    Orbtronics 18650 2900mAh High Drain Version part 1

    What about 18650 2000mah AW IMR? Would they be better than the 1600mah?

    Ekowool

    Yeah I agree, at least with my experience also. I had many positive experiences but it just wasn't consistent enough for me. I really wish it wicked faster because it's very nice to coil and work with, but it's just not silica. I'm trying the cotton hemp yarn tonight on a setup that I have high...

    Where can one buy direct a wire welder.

    Ah thanks gtbb, I do have a friend who used to weld, so maybe he can help me out. I probably won't need it for a while but it's good to know! I'll just keep sanding the blocks a little but when they get gunked with metal or whatever is happening. Maybe it's the instant heat from the wires...

    My Ody is stuck

    I never did dual coils on an Ody, but ever since I went to my dual coils on Ithaka I don't think I could ever go back to single coil. Definitely worth it Stormy!

    Ithaka official

    Hey guys, does anyone know where to get 1mm silica? I'd love to find some other sizes that aren't available at CoV. I know you can remove strands, but I'd really love to find some smaller sizes (1mm-2.5mm)! I don't quite trust random eBay sales, unless someone has experience with a certain...

    Ekowool

    Cool, I'll give that a shot - gotta set my other Ithaka up anyway (it's been leaking juice out of that damn bottom center post o-ring again) and I will try this yarn. I did twisted duals on it which was nice but, that build wasn't my cup of tea.. I would do a lower ohm next time, though.. and...

    Ohms per mm/in index?

    Also, for Kanthal A-1, here is a general ohms per inch: 30 awg (Ω/in) 0.7 ohms 31 awg (Ω/in) 0.9 ohms 32 awg (Ω/in) 1.2 ohms 33 awg (Ω/in) 1.4 ohms 34 awg (Ω/in) 1.8 ohms 35 awg (Ω/in) 2.3 ohms 36 awg (Ω/in) 2.9 ohms

    Ekowool

    woops! Haha, it's for the greater good! I will definitely mess with it tonight as well, just not super sure how tight/loose to make the coils! But yeah maybe I will wrap it with a 1/16" drill bit in the yarn, then pull it out... I know cotton swells up a lot so I want to give it a good amount of...

    Ekowool

    Interesting. What were the specifics of your build? I'm still a little unsure, but I think I will try 3 strands of yarn per coil. Maybe wrap the coil around an appropriate sized drill bit and feed the yarn through? I don't want to pinch the wick too much with my coil wrapping.

    Ekowool

    Yeah I had my experimenting and it went ok.. I still really want it to work great, but silica is just better for me so far. My next thing is trying this cotton hemp yarn that Bishop was raving about.

    Ekowool

    3mm on hollow Ekowool is the inner diameter - 3mm Ekowool with cotton core is outer diameter. And also, what percent VG/PG was your juice with this Twik, cotton-core Ekowool? I just got cotton hemp yarn, maybe I will just thread my 2mm Ekowool myself and try it..
