Paul Tsen - fantastic! With what you painted it?
I rebuilt a fresh one a few days ago at 1.8 Ohm's 5.0v and it's working great... I might try 1.4-1.6 Ohms next build and see how it works out...
This is my setup eVic with Protank 2

Ok, you got me interested, how? or is it available?
Thanks for the info Paul.
Looks nice!
Got a new toy, ERA AFC top cap:

Attempted a micro coil. Rolled 0.20mm kanthal on a 1.4mm screw driver shaft, and wicked it with a cotton ball. Metered out at 2.1ohms. Here's how it looks after a day of vaping:

Vapes pretty good! Doesn't create mushroom clouds but it had slightly more vapor than a larger, spaced out coil with similar resistance. Flavor is much better with the micro coil. All was good until I decided to re-wick. Dry burning warped the coil and I broke it while attempting to re-align the coils.
Did another coil using 0.32mm wire wrapped around a 2mm screwdriver. I reckoned 0.32mm would hold shape better being thicker. I tried coiling at 1.4mm but I kept getting less than 1.3ohms at 12 wraps. By then, it was too long to fit nicely on my atty. Settled with 2mm and got it at 1.5ohms. Here's how it looks:

Now the weird thing is that this coil takes some time to heat up. It takes about 8 or so seconds to get it glowing on a dry burn. While vaping, the first hit would draw a blank but once the coil starts heating up, this thing produces quite a bit of vapor (more than my last ones).
Still trying to figure out that one. Is it the larger mass that's slowing heat up?
How about if i use 32g kanthal and do a 4/5 wrap on a ceramic wick? anyone tried this? works well?
