I do have some part of the top coil contact with cotton wick... maybe i should position more cotton wick on top of the coil?

rtweaked the rsst's build and it's by far the most vapor I've seen on a genny style atty on mild drags.

that's incredible! what was your tweak?
also interesting observation about swapping out fill hole and wick hole, can't wait to try this. So are you saying the stock fill hole is too small to avoid getting juice plugged?
Hmm. I'm trying to put some cotton on the coil but I can't seem to secure it and have it contact the coil. Anyone else doing this?
Yeah, I had GCS (glowing coil syndrome) when I left the top exposed. I make a cotton strip. I tuck the front part under the cotton base. I place the other side in between two posts. I then use tweezers to press the cotton down on the coil. Soak it with juice well, so it forms nicely.
I just did this build on my Trident, and it is nuts.
I need to go get me some 0nic 100%VG juice now to see just how much clouds this setup can churn out.

you got a pic of your setup? I got the coil done pretty much but just couldnt get the cotton bed/wick to work well....
used a 7wrap coil, it burns the cotton wick dry so fast, but it gives great flavor
used a 10wrap coil, doesnt burn the cotton as fast but less flavor
what should i do?

I just had to check this page before I got home. Now I have a mission tonight for no other reason than to see if I can succeed in building it 
.
.Are all issues sorted out? I was following the thread mobile but for some reason I can't login on my phone.
Here's how I bed mine, granting that you already secured your coil on the post and pulsed it
1. slightly bend the coil upward
2. thread your cotton under the coil (keep your cotton loose and fluffy, do not compact or roll into a rope)
3. wrap your cotton around the positive post
4. around and under the end of the cotton wick
5. around wrap it around the negative post and in between the negative and positive post
6. cut the cotton just enough that you can slip it under the positive lead of your coil
7. cut and trim the fanned out cotton end to finish your bed, trim away to your liking
8. bend your coil back down
9. soak is with your favorite juice and see how it fires,
10. tweak your coil to either push down into the cotton bed or raise it up a bit
note: my cotton are thicker so it can hold more juice to keep up with my .6 ohm coil

I just re-wicked it with really light thin cotton and kept the stock holes as they are

I'm running dual coils, 11 wraps each. I made the coils on a paper clip so they are tiny, then I place my cotton under the coils, and pushed the coils down onto the cotton. Then I put a little cotton on top of the coils and made sure the top cotton touched the bottom cotton.
@Cyrus Vap: much appreciate the compliments... thank you
Good looking 'tol! Vape on!!!

Here's my new setup. I wrapped it with a smaller diameter and it's working well. Problem is it gets red quite fast. Is this normal? Or is something a miss?
I want to do this very badly. I don't have a fancy mech though... just a K100 I picked up recently. I'm new to vaping...
You have any tutorial vids on how to build this stuff? I want that vapor production now! Don't make me drive to Chicago and beg you to make me one!

@jozef-3d: Push you coil more into the cotton bed. Don't be afraid if it cover both ends, cotton is easy to move the cotton to the side so you will have an opening.
@iz2sick: I'm really bad at doing how to videos, trust me I've tried it before just follow and read the thread as quite a few folks now have had success. They too can help you set things up. I have an old k100 beater that still works, it's a good entry level mech to say the least

Couple questions.
1. Did you drill out the air hole on your IGO-L? If so, what size?
2. Is the cotton creating a bed for the coil as well as laying on top of it?
3. Can you use 30g to create a 1-1.5ohm vape for regulated devices?
4. How small/tight are the wraps? Should I wrap them around a nail, a paper clip, a particular screw size?
This has me interested to no end but I'm still a noob at rebuilding. All I've been into lately is rebuilding my novas/protanks with hemp and 32g kanthal. It works great, but I'm looking for more flavor and vapor.

I still have to learn about the batteries too. Though I'm not really looking to vape sub ohm. I don't mind it being over 1. Even if I get 3/4 of your vapor production, I'd be happy
I'll try to embed more I guess I'm afraid to drown the coil and get hot sputters in my mouth
. Gonna give it another go, I think I'm a almost there.UPDATE: that did the trick. It's performing well now thanks!!

you have a bigger coil with bigger hole... wrap your entire coil in cotton without covering the holes as that's where the air passes through and atomizes you juice. let me know the resultam I on the right track?
I used 28g wire 7 wraps on a t-pin... the coil heats up pretty quick and dry up the cotton wick pretty fast hence a burnt taste?

Yo teo I just want to say thank you. I did this on my helios had a issue with how high
The coils are but I made it work with it and wow stepped my vape game up. Currently
Running 0.7 dual coil it has the wow factor lol thanks

Wonderful! glad you sorted it out. If you have another atty, try a single coil with same resistance and compare
I have a igo s but I don't use it. I may get a trident it is definitely comparable to the vape
You are geting if not slightly better but I'm just happy its so beast lol
