For the people having a hard time building decent hitting coils

[LEDBETTER122]

Yeah cant tell you how many times I left my charger at work.....Ive learned my lesson and bought 1 for home and 1 in my desk at work.

The guy on second shift wont believe this when he sees how great this hits, he was the one who got me into vaping. We both just got stick battery mods and hes having the same problem I was.....not anymore

Play it up, man. Be the Vapestick Hero, lol. Show off and gloat, then offer to teach. You earned it with all those damned rebuilds.

lol I just texted him, im going to make him one when he comes in.

Dude im telling you, I probably rebuild 20-30 coils trying to get what this micro coil delivers, and im even more excited because now I dont have to do a complete rebuild, all I have to do is take the cotton out, do a quick dry burn and put new cotton in.

I tried to build a micro coil in the past but I couldnt get it right, who knew al I needed was a thumb tack

Just be careful when dry burning in a Protank. If you overheat too much, you might scorch your rubber insulator and get a rubbery taste for a little bit. Less is more, sometimes. When you pulse, as soon as you see a hint of glow, you are probably done. Trust me, that rubber taste is awful.

Yeah I have burned one before (chain vaping with silica wick), it does taste pretty rough

@crxess
I have confidence in your opinions, are you able to detect any difference vaping nichrome or kanthal ?

Honestly it would likely be build dependent. If both are properly wrapped, they have every close expansion properties so only miniscule changes in size would happen under load.
I Recommend Dry firing any and ALL coil builds to burn off any impurities and set the wire. I personally pass all my wire through a flame before starting a build. It only takes a few seconds with a Bic lighter and makes wrapping that much simpler.

Once Both are broken in and ready to go, I can tell no difference in normal setups, 1.0ohm and Up. No clue if Sub Ohms loads would effect either any differently, but I highly doubt it.
I Believe Kanthal is the more durable, but with proper wicking that is not a real factor. Neither will reach critical thermal levels with proper use.

One of my favorite things about micros and cotton. Bad wick? Take it out and put a new one in!
