Hey qorax I told Busardo about how this coil was working and he said But But But thats not supposed to work aren't you getting fluctuations or differences in heat, I told him no it is rock steady day 3 now.

OH and I am running it at 410 18w no TP as of yet. I don't know if it has to do with how much space is in the Kanger sub mini or air flow or what all I know is it works. It just blows me away at how many spaced coils I tried that didn't and a stupid little microcoil did the trick.
That's funny Legs. Of course I don't have that problem even is after five minutes I can't remember how many turns I put on the last coil.
Are any of you other guys using a microcoil like me. What do you think are you having the same luck I am? I am almost afraid to rewick it and break my luck.
I've tried contact coils and just didn't have luck in terms of being able to reproduce it consistently, or getting it to work more than 2 or 3 days. Another member (AMDTrucker) mentioned that after a few days he checked his coil, and found that a couple of wraps had fused together. I've since stayed away from contact coils

Without doubt contact coils require more attention, technique, & care than spaced coils. I now prefer spaced over contact, but I am unwilling to tell people what the 'can't' do, or, what doesn't work.
I'm glad (and relieved) that people can make their own choice without being scolded with, "Brandon said".
Considered starting a new thread, "Brandon said", so the scolder(s) could simply link to it.
I will try it So Far So Good! Let you know how it plays out
What size wire is that. I notice it's not 14 wraps.
Before I finalize my pre order on my SXmini M class I should try one more coil and see if it works the same
Well instead of taking my first good nickel coil out I am going to take one of my Kayfun builds out of another Kanger and put a nickel one in and see how it works. I can always put another one of those back in.
I've been experimenting with some different builds, so far the best results I got is 14 wraps on 3mm with 30ga ni200. It seems the higher number of wraps give more consistency and stability to the coil. The ohms are 0.3 as expected and vaping from 22 to 27 Watts depending on juice gives really nice flavour and vapor on my kayfun. Building lower ohm coils with less wraps I was sometimes experiencing inconsistent performance with the Tc, hot spots etc... I found that wicking by twisting hard the cotton to pass it through the coil and then releasing it works very well. The wick is very tight so the juice and airflow cool the coil pretty well. I set TP to 400-420 but I actually get TP only when it's time to refill the tank because the juice on the wick isn't enough anymore. I believe this is a good indication of whether the wicking is done properly or not.

Cool.................... had to put all those dots in to make the message long enough.
Are you wicking with rayon or KGD. How long do they last. I just noticed that my coil jumped up to .14 it's been on .11 since the beginning.
I'm wicking with KGD, to compact the coil I set TP to 600 fire a few times, put the drill bit gently back through the coil, and I pinch it, keeps it nice and stable. I repeat once more without the drill bit since the coil cools too much the first time to get it compacted properly. At least with this 2 step process I manage to compact the ni200 pretty well at first and fine tune with the second step
Well my coil went wonky. When I put it on the other night I had a little space in it. I thought I got it back together but apparently not because beyond that it was black. The rest looked great so did the KGD so I put one of the ones I wrapped last night on and wicked it. Showing .12 working great again. This one didn't have any ooopsys in it so we'll see what happens.
Well now I don''t know what to think. It started at .12 perfect now it is .07 vaping good but there is no way this coil should be .07
