also what works good for me is to do an electrical wrap, if using the round wire, instead of hot wrapping. both work the same imo. so if your really good hot wrapping go for it, if so so, try an electric wrap. I believe I have a video on page 230 in this thread. the other difference is with the hot wrap you are coiling the wick before installing, with the electric wrap you wrap the coil in the mod. definatly the 28g and round wire, for me the ribbon was to mellow, I didn't get much of a TH with the ribbon. if you do the 28g round, I have found a 2/3 or 3/4 wrap to be good. the 2/3 comes in at .6 and the 3/4 at .8Ω. for me I have found that initially after making a wrap everything is good, then after about a half tank the flavor is better, so it does take a little time to get optimum flavor, but somewhere between all this sometimes I get slight expansion of both leads of my wires, this diminishes the flavor and vapor a lot, and I can always tell when it happens. I take a look at the coil with a magnifying glass and I can see the slight gaps, the trick now is to tighten them up without snapping the wicks. I insert a toothpick between the pp & wick then slightly stretch the wire to tighten, the toothpick keeps the wick from moving as you tighten. this happens more time then not with my ac-9 because of the spring connection. sometimes it also happens on the bottom coil at the neg screw. I would never be able to see these gaps with my naked eye, because im old, only with a mag glass. I run the wicks for weeks without taking out to clean, I just bry burn every other tank.
