Rob does a traditional coil in that video, it's like the coil you would get on a protank but better cuz it's not a protank. The traditional coil can be finicky, which is why I prefer micro's.
The only diff. between micro and nano is the inner diameter of the coil. Many people use pins or paper clips, I have tried a picture hanging nail. The nano was ok, didn't really notice anything diff. than my micro's.
Size from biggest to smallest: mini-->micro-->nano, super x has a table with the corresponding i.d. terms.
really, micros are super easy, the easiest coil to make imho.
You can do micro coils if you use cotton as your wick. It's really easy to roll up and slide through the coil because you can make one end pointed. It's not so easy getting anything else (silica, for instance) through a micro coil. That's where Rob's method comes in handy. So....there's a time and a place for every type. I have done it both ways, but these days I'm all about micro coils with organic cotton wicks. It (to me) just doesn't get any better than that. Here's a thread that will be informative when you're wrapping coils. You can (will need to, at least at first) meter them and figure out the ohms, but this will give you some idea of how we're doing it....: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/446263-micro-coils-ohms-description.html
