Does the height of the coil...like if I lower it or raise the coil...does it really affect the throat hit or vapor and more importantly flavor. I'm a flavor chaser and love my igo-L. Single coil. It seems that sometimes I use a 1.8 micro with 30 gauge and sometimes a 1.6 with 30gauge. I'll use it on my k100+ or my svd or mvp2. And sometimes like today I was using my k100+ and made a 1.76 ohm micro coil using 50/50 16mg vapedudes and decided it was time for a new coil. (Just to retain muscle memory lol) and I made a 1.81 ohm coil and used the same juice and same mod battery still same charge and the taste was better the first time using the same wraps. So I went and made another coil (using about what I have left in kanthal period) and to my surprise made a 1.77 ohm coil. Odds slim I know especially for me lol. But nothing changed until I vaped it. Had a little less flavor and throat hit and seemed to be a little more vapor but I seem to think it was also closer to the positive and negitive pins. So my question is does someone know for sure if coil height has anything to do with flavor? My air hole was in direct contact of my coil. But if this is true should I lower it or raise it to get better flavor. I can care less for throat hit and vapor but I love my flavor lol. Thank you for any and all advice

When you raise the coil it makes the airflow travel longer. This will give you a stronger throat hit because the coil will be able to get to a higher temp since the air moving in has more time to heat up as well. As far as flavor goes... not really. It should not unless your juice is being affected by the temp difference.

There are so many variables that could affect performance...

-Coil diameter
-Coil wraps
-Coil resistance
-Wire gauge
-Quality of wire
-Kinks in wire or defective spots (may or may not be visible)
-Coil distance from air hole
-Size of air hole(s)
-Coil leg length
-Amount of wick
-Type of wick
-Type of juice (many different variables in juice affect performance and react differently to several variables)

I could add more to this list but this is what I could think of at the top of my head before having my morning cup of coffee. Basically, it could be more than one variable and I would just recommend trying again if you are not satisfied.
