Not terribly advanced but not terribly simple.....32ga twisted, then doubled and twisted again. Wrapped on my smallest screwdriver (no clue the diameter, but its fairly small) 8x = 8ohms. Nice flavor and plumes galore.
I should mention that I will be running these coils on a mvp 2.0, so no crazy sub ohming. Not sure how low I can take it but I know it will fire a .8 without problem. The double twist sounds interesting. I tried twisted 30g but didn't think to double it over.
Simplest build I've come across is the parallel coil with 24 gauge kanthal a1 wire simple but a 4 wrapped coil is at .25 ohms crazy sub ohm vapin rip trippers at YouTube shows how to build it along with other good builds Chek him out then again u can't really sub ohm vape on the mvp 2 or any regulated mod u need a mechanical or something like the dna 30 or sx350 chipped mods
Take some 3mm wick and support it along a sewing needle, make 5 wraps with 32 gauge and slide the needle out. Should be around 2.0 Ohm and vape nicely on the MVP.

Thanks for the invite to the mvp club. Like I said, I do know simple wraps, I felt like I hit the wall with evods/pro tank coils. Just nothing left to try building on them. I can do a 5/4 wrap with my eyes closed, but I want something different for my igo-w that can be wraped without having to get my vape tool box out.
Thanks scrappy for the nod. Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Tension winding (stretch) vs. hand-wind and torch (forming) are two ways to create a coil in physics terms. You can't wind a coil any tighter in mechanical terms, period, than with tension. Tightest coil in the universe (two objects cannot occupy the same space). Secondly, once you reach that point (adhesion) and it doesn't require much energy at all the coil wants to be a coil (think screen door screen). This aids the formation of the alumina oxide layer during pulsing (compromised by torching in conventional micro's) that makes a contact micro coil possible. No torching is necessary, at all. Here's an illustration of a 30-second wind
In other words, anything less than perfect contact is to a degree, less efficient. You lose a percentage of heat transfer efficiency. That translates to less vaporization at the wicking surface. It depends upon how many imperfections are present in the wind. The fact is most are to small to be seen with the naked eye; but, they may be numerous. Even to the point of producing uneven turn shorts and hot leads despite compression, regardless of torching. Yet, the coil may behave like a microcoil exhibiting "the effect". It will just be inefficient and if so will likely disappoint. You can just ignore that reality and throw more watts at it which is what most folks do. Or, you can create the optimal platform for your build with tension.
I hope you all give it a shot. It's accomplished in seconds and a host of related problems like hot leads largely avoided by producing the geometry that nature loves symmetry.
See "tension" on the thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/486794-protank-microcoil-discussion.html for more info.
Good luck.
