Just in case someone didn't get the email from fasttech. They now have an istick 50 clone for 37.25. Looks like no silver

Now back on topic...
To wrap the wire with even spaces....
..I think you meant OD unless you were talkin about where the wire would seat in the lowest part of the thread which would still be an OD.
Yah. I should have asked "What is the ID of a coil made using a 6-32 machine screw...". Glad you all knew what I meant.
(it was the auto-correct thing I tell ya !)

We're pretty good with English, but sometimes I got no ID. It's a Southern thing here.
A #6 screw though is closer to 3.5 mm by my calculation.(No.) 6 x 0.013 + 0.060 = 0.138 = 3.5052mm

Found this:
ANSI External Screw Threads Size Tolerances Chart - Engineers Edge
I'm guessing the "minor diameter" is what I'm looking for. If that's true, then according to the chart it's about .099" or closer to 2.5 mm.
Now I just gotta know if I'm interpreting the chart correctly. Lol.
You are reading it right but I doubt the wire will seat all the way to the bottom of the thread. Like in the bottom of this VVVV. More likely the pitch diameter would be most accurate if you are having to screw the screw out of the coil and then if it's not tensioned it will spring open a bit. That's why I originally said 3,25 to 3.5. So we'll compromise and say 3mm.
you could check it with a small drill bit if you wanted, to see what the actual dia. ends up being. The point is it works I think Cheech was askin about wrapping on a machine screw to get the spacing even instead of making a contact coil.All good points. Thanks!

I would like to give it a try as I have settled on the evenly spaced coils being my preference. The technique has been around a while, but applied to
the larger RTA types devices. Protank was really too small, I think the GS Air might be a little more conducive to this.
So evenly spaced, open coils are best? Who da thunk it? All those times I was striving for perfect micro tensioned coils I was doing it all wrong!
I'm sure the Coil Queen was not getting it wrong!

Yeah she was if evenly spaced open coils are the way to go! You don't know how many coils I've pitched because they weren't perfect, tensioned, touching micro coils! Lol
There are followers of both contact and spaced coils. I imagine there is much debate in many threads in the forum
I've never tossed a coil that would workI watched all the videos and thought that was the key...but I'm so ignorant, I couldn't tell the difference.
Not saying it doesn't work (please don't let a hundred folks come in and say I was doing it wrong) I just could not tell them
apart with my plebeian tastes.

FWIW, Riptripper says that IHO spaced coils are better for flavor on the Lemo for high-VG eliquids, while mico-coils are better for even or higher-PG blends.

(mobile YouTube link, so you may have to search for the vid.)
Edit: Just re-watched portions of the vid and he says that micro-coils work well even with 30/70 PG/VG ratio ejuice.

I use high VG so that explains that! Riptrippers no idiot.
What I'm finding though are the open, evenly spaced coils don't gunk up as badly or as quickly as the micro tensioned coils do. And with some attys, open coils just don't fit either.
And Fyi, someone on another forum( not ecf) had a30W istick to go from 29W to 16 watts then back up to 25w. She purchased it at a local b&m and they didn't have the color 30W she had so she bought a 50W by paying the difference between the 2.
