It's very hard to find the basics:
How to pick wire thickness (found), type of wire, type of wick and wick thickness
How many times to wrap around the wick and why (does the # of wraps affect the voltage)
What can touch what (e.g. can the wire touch itself?)
Instead, all I can find is:
Here I am folding the wick.
Here I am wrapping the wick around my finger to make folds.
Here I am wrapping the coil around the wick.
Here I am wrapping the coil around a nail first.
Here I am making a 3-4 coil for this type of
rda.
Here I am making a 4-3 coil for that type of
rda.
Here I am installing it by tapping the wick strands in.
Here I am installing it by pushing the wick strands up.
The most helpful ones I've found so far are tutorials from
Todd ecigreviews
I have finally grasped the entirely counter-intuitive fact that "higher gauge = thinner = higher resistance." (It's like needles for which higher numbers are also smaller.)
And tomcatt has a good summary of types of cotton wicks.

I sent him a PM about width and why is presumably bleached "white" bamboo thread better than "natural" bamboo which doesn't sound bleached but I don't know how much he's around now that he's not a
mod.
