Update:

Heading back to silica wick in the Spheroid after I boil some up. The micro-cotton would not hold its form, and left me with burnt hits. Worked great for awhile, but it seems the wick became over-saturated and sagged. I kept having to unscrew the housing to check and make sure the wick was upright.

Q! You have any luck with setting up a micro-cotton in your Spheroid?

can you use silica with a micro coil setup? ...or does it just taste nasty?

I've gotta spheroid incoming, no idea how i wanna set it up lol.

I'm thinking my first setup would be a figure 8 of 2.5mm silica with a small piece of oxidized mesh wrapped in the center and 4-5 wraps of twisted 32 gauge kanthal & willl use the fluff i get in the package.

Debating micro coil and around 2 ohm (regular 28g) vs the twisted 32 going sub ohm, my i guess thinking advantage of micro coil i can use 18350 battery, but with sub ohm gotta use 18650 battery.

I will tell you this..

I have tried just about every setup there is to try on the Spheroid. The figure 8, the S, the Single loop, cotton, micro coils ect..

What I have found (and a lot of other users as well) is the the recommend / noob set up works the best!

2 strands of silica and a regular coil rock this little thing. If you don't want juicy fingers after a refill then the single loop with a regular ole coil rocks as well..

Yes, u can. Perseas has posted a pic on one such a few pages back√

Mesh over Silica? Why? The Spheroid is awesome enough just with a usual 'figure-8' or the 'lasso' wick ;) Doles out plumes - with gr8 taste in it's most simple builds.

We r tinkering on Micro-coils with Cotton for a singular intent of ease of wick replacement when the time comes... the coil doesn't need to change u see... for months together... just the wick... which is also in lifetime of supply with just a pack of regular cotton-balls ;)

So is there (1)a set day and time the X will be going on sale? and is there (2)a photo anywhere of a 22mm RBA/etc sitting on top the 23mm X?

1. It'd be notified here, as well as in Vapor Wall, Vape Pit, UKV, Tweeter, Facebook etc. a few days in advance.
2. I posted one just in the previous page (Kayfun over PapsX) ;)
