Dry hits

[m3nace]

I wrapped a micro coil 9 or 10 wraps and its at .6 ohms
With cvs sterilized cotton and I get alot of dry hits even when the cotton is drenched

Is it the way I wrapped it or is it just the juice

The first thing that comes to mind for me is that you've got too much cotton in the coils. Do that and you choke the wick and actually get less juice into the coil.

A couple of question too. What gauge is the Kanthal? Is each coil 0.6 ohms, or the combination in the RDA?

Combination is .6 ohms and how much cotton are you supoosed to use I looked around and can only find picturws

I crush the cotton by rolling a small rope between my thumb and forefinger. I make one end really thin and wet it slightly with a drop of water on my finger to help keep it together. Cut the end off to make it clean, insert and pull through with tweezers. I consider it too much if it gives me more than a little resistance to being pulled through.

That is pretty subjective still though as your feel for resistance is probably different from mine. What will work for sure is to try different amounts and see how they work. You will find a happy medium between too much cotton and not enough

When I wicked, I would make sure there is practically no resistance when pulling the wick through the coil. If you are having trouble with that, maybe consider using the Dragon Nano Coil method...

Nano coils look very interesting MrStik. Been meaning to try it, just haven't got to it yet. Maybe later this week.

Do a search here for the dragon, rather then put the wick through the cotton, lay the cotton underneath and around the coil. It allows air to pass through the coil as well as give more heating surface. Make sure to line the couch up with the air hole.

In my opinion very simple and consistency is there build after build, especially since I always use the same paperclip as a template.
