@ricks .. I have tried others, but remember I don't know what I'm doing so it's all trial and error
MTL only, all around 1.5 +/- ohms at 3.7-4v. 28g kanthal..
did 2.5 and 3 mm spaced = to much popping going on for me, and think the 2.5 was the better of the two for flavor and noise. 3mm maybe too much unused wick to air flow.
2.5 and 2mm contact = quiets down and good flavor.
For now IMO.. I think the 2mm fits nicely with the air flow hole and enough wick for good vapor/flavor the way I hit it.
Wicking been using cotton bacon, cause that's what LV had when I ordered my wire and so far it's pretty good from the start, no weird tastes at all.
Also got 500' rayon to try after I get everything else figure out first, I didn't like it on the first try, but that could be from something else and not the rayon.
I got other cottons coming in the mail to try.
