Why am I suddenly hungry for a Taco Supremo con Crema Agria?

So. The Taco coil, eh?
I just built it and I think it's not worth the effort.
Building the coil is a pain in the a**, and wicking it isn't easier. Flavor is decent, but if the wick isn't (over-)saturated enough, it gets very, very nasty.
So all in all it has the same issues as a meshcoil, but requires even more work to get it right.

Hey thanks for building it, and thanks for your input. From the pic, which I appreciate, I can see there is a bit too much cotton, and the 2 front loops are too far apart. If you bring them in closer togeather the heat will be more concentrated twords the bulk of the cotton. I can build it in 2 or 3 minutes. I know the first time is hard. It won't run too rich with the right amount of cotton. Lol all I know is I'm vaping a cigar net
..at 19 watts and the cloud and flavor are incredible on a mech.

I don't argue, that my coil could be tweaked further, but if I use less cotton, I get a dryhit on the second or third vape.
This coil is nowhere near of "easy to build and wick".
Granted, I may be too untalented for this style of coil, but it doesn't deliver better performance imo, and in comparison a simple round wire build is done in a fraction of the time, and wicking it is way more simple as well.
So for me personally, the Taco is a fail.
But opinions may vary of course ;)
