It looks really good(the pics). Much better than my first one.....lolWell I tried a spaced build as suggested using ss 316L 26g and a 3.0 ID. I watched a couple of videos first. Tried for .4 used SE did 6/5 wraps. Fired beautifully and right on target at .44 ohms.
Attempted wicking with rayon again. Attempted is the key word lol!
I don’t know what’s happening. I got it wicked and primed still looked good. Put it on a mod and the mod reads the coil at .5 another mod reads .48 ohms. Anything over 25 watts and I’m getting dry hits. Still not getting much flavor at all even with closing the airflow half way. Lots of spitting and gurgling though. I’m thinking I didn’t use enough rayon in the coil area but I’m not sure.
Kind of frustrating! I know I know “there’s a learning curve”.
The only suggestion I have is on the last pic. The tails on the top part of the coil are too short. I would trim the tails at the bottom a little short and leave the strands on the top (near the coil) a little longer as to actually go down past the should area. The short strands on the bottom of the coil, being short will also help the ejucie to absorb up and allow the longer tails to pick that up. If that makes any sense.
And the cotton/rayon also needs to be just in the channel so you can see a bit of it but don't stuff it, it needs to be kinda loose.
