Correct... But IMO i feel more comfortable twisting them real tight with a drill. That way you have consistent contact between the 2 wires. If wrapped in tandem, they could technically come apart and create a very small gap. While twisting them tight you know you have consistent contact all the way. But once again, just my 2 cents
I also find the vape on the parallel to be much smoother.
First one is the parallel 26 at .38 and the second is a dual 26 at .47

Cool vid... Do you mind taking a close up shot of your quasar with the cotton in the coil. Id just like to compare the amount of cotton you use to what I use for a single parallel coil
And I'm assuming the dual coil build was the one on the left? Cuz the one on the right chucked out vapour a lot faster and smoother like you had stated

Yes, the dual coil build is on the left.
This is about as good as I can do I think.
Ahh, you put cotton on the other side too... Ill have to try that. I was always putting it just on the one side
I find it just stops the juice from sloshing around too much and I can vape it longer without having to re drip. That being said I think I have a tiny bit too much in this build. Drippers are my all day pocket carry and that extra cotton on the other side helps with pocket messes.
You have over wicking issues due to improper density of the filler or you have an old bell. Check please the interior, in the rare case we gave you a Heron with the previous bell. The thread was off topic for 3 pages and I missed your post, sorry.
Hey guys, for ongoing off topic discussions, please use the main thread from now on.

No apologies necessary; I just figured you were busy with the store reopening etc.
From what I understand of the new/old bells, I think I have the new; the channel within the bell appears a smooth, uniform bore. The filler I used was what you good folks sent with the Heron, and I used a piece which is 20mm x 60mm. It isn't perfectly uniformly fitted, being my virgin attempt. The other thing I just noticed, as I was taking a photo or two for your analysis, is that the tails of my wick are a bit long and sitting on the ridge of the ring (with the o-rings), in other words higher than the deck; perhaps too long?? Anyway, here are a couple of pics with the bell channel and the filler. (I tried to send with photobucket so as to provide larger images, but despite the fact that they are small email resolutions, ECF's attach functions says they're too large from photobucket, but the same image is not too large from my computer. Screwy.)
Please let me know what you think.View attachment 332990View attachment 332992
That looks like the updated bell! Filler doesn't look too bad either. I do use a screwdriver to help evenly distribute the fluff if necessary. I also use the fluff cut to a similar length but I cut mine to 17mm x 65mm and find that it works well for my 50/50 liquid.
I'm using a ~1.4 ohm coil and it doesn't heat the atty up very quickly unless I'm chain vaping for awhile so you might want to look there.
Are you taking hard pulls? You might want to either take an easier pull or open up the AFC a bit. If the coil spits and you're sucking hard then there's a good chance the you'll suck it in your mouth.
Here are pics of my setup if it helps any...

Thanks. I also posted over at the main Paps thread, and folks suggested I rebuild my coil, which I'll do.
I've fooled with the AFC, so I'm doubting that's the issue. Our fluff setup seems similar, so I'm thinking that mine is a bit less uniform than yours, but not that far apart. thanks for your pics; once I get the basics mastered I'm gonna have to try cotton.

You have to ensure fluff is touching the inner walls, otherwise liquid will flood the chamber. You can take a look at the tips and tricks thread, there are a ton of tutorials for different builds.
Thanks. Over the next couple of days, I'll take it all apart, wash out the fluff, repack it and rebuild the coil and wick. I'll report back.
This question is probably answered somewhere in this thread, but hey, I don't have all day to look for it. 
My understanding is that there will be a 510 option for the Heron. I'm assuming that there will be a 510 kit of some kind that can be purchased and used for those that already have a Heron (i.e., remove the g-pin, insert 510 connector part, add a ring to the hybrid threads). Is that correct, or will it be a separate 510 Heron that's not compatible with the hybrid version?
Just curious, as I have a couple of Herons but want to sometimes use one on a 26650 mod that I have.

Okay, so it is indeed answered in this forum as suspected. So it looks like it will be just an add-on. That's good news. Just pulling this info forward for anyone else who might be wondering.
