i went 1.2mm (1.18 actually) kept some resistance but opened up the vapor production nicely. i have a second cap i went 1.3 and works like a charm but too loose for me, i like a touch of resistance.
just start small and go up slowly. drill test for a day, drill test etc.
i also noticed the same coil seems to handle slightly more voltage once i opened it up, also helping produce more vapor.
