Cotton wick

I have all the correct materials, just want some insight into how to make the coils(ie. length thickness?) I'm using it on a trident rda

you need to determine what ohm you want to get a better response. this will also vary based on gauge of wire you are using, as well as the build you will be doing. not sure if the trident can do dual coils as that will change the answer as well if doing more then one coil. you can use this outline to help better determine how much wire you need to use to hit your target ohm.

depends on your desired ohms but give the microcoils a try
use a 1/16 drillbit and make them touching each other and head over this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...271-micro-coils-increase-vapor-flavor-th.html
and this other one

Ok, I have a tesla mod so I have to keep it above 1.5 ohms for it to read. I'm open to doing dual or singel, I have purchased 28,30,32,and 34 gauge kanthal.

If you use 32g and wrap a standard coil, 5-6 wraps will get you 1.5-1.7Ω on a 1/16" drill bit. With 30g, you'll need a few more wraps to stay in the same area.

IMO, 28g is more suited for lower Ω builds (i.e. sub-ohm) due to the thickness of the wire. It can be used on higher ohm builds, but it's going to take longer to heat up since the resistance is much higher, unless you crank up the wattage/voltage.

Here is my trident build with 2 1.6 ohm micro coils on my magneto. Come to 0.8 ohms. 1/16 bit, 7/8 wraps, with cotton.
