coil building help

[JMcCully]

First the set up: itaste mvp2, kanger protank 3, 32g kangaroo wire, 100% organic bio wick (says biowick.jimdo.com on the bottom)

I built 4 different heads last night so 8 coils, and none of them are worth anything. Started off with 8 wraps, last one had 13. They all read any where between 1.1 ohms and 2.0, they all fire but they are really hard to draw on and don't produce much vapor. I've watched dozens of videos and read dozens of articles so I have the basic concept, I just can't seem to make them work properly.
I've also downloaded the resistance chart, do I just add to to whatever number there is for the 30g?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I prefer 30 guage around a 1/16 drill bit with 7/8 wraps (1.8 ohms) and cotton only through the center. trim cotton to 1-2 mm sticking out the sides.

You can do the same with 32 guage and hope you get it to work.

Stop what your doing. Order a Kayfun Lite Plus put a 28-30 Guage micro coil build in it 1.1-1.8 ohms with a organic cotton wick and then you will wonder why you didn't do this a long time ago.

I am building coils for EVOD's, ProTank2 and Aero (single coils only so far for the Aero). Using a 2mm jeweler's jump ring maker (but anything about that size will work), 32gauge, making 7 wraps. They have all come out at around 2 Ohms and work great. I have used both silica wicks and cotton. I like the cotton but it doesn't seem to last as long.
Don't know that it really makes a difference but I burn my wire with a torch before starting and after completing the wraps (before to clean it off and get out some of the spring and after to supposedly help them keep their shape better).

With the hard draw I am leaning toward a problem with the wick versus the coils, but I will let someone with more experience address that issue for you.

Good luck and hang in there!

I totally agree on the Kayfun, I've been tinkering with building Protank coils, had good success, but the Kayfun is nothing short of awesome. Very easy to make a 1.3-1.8 coil, Organic cotton from CVS, the vape results are really nice,
Best $$$ spent
