Yep cartos do have advantages. One I think is truer flavor. I've been doing the carto style vertical coil with a diaper and external wicks. I really like it, the flavor is great & the clouds are big. Right now I'm using a cloth like diaper of viva towel and rayon wicking. It is incredible. Can't wait to play with some hemp... I know its like cartos are vertical micro coils with a diaper and poly wicking. When I was getting into vaping I asked the veteran forum about just wanting a rebuildable carto. Well we've created it.
TURBO - muted flavor means your too tight on the coil. Wicking should just be lightly touching the coil. Just had one that I wrapped the diaper too tight, muted flavor, loosened it with a needle and wow massive flavor and much increased nic hit. Check out the Vcore thread for more vertical fun. Here's a pic of my oddy currently with viva towel and rayon, getting some of this hemp soon.
Turbo - if you get muted flavor your too tight on the coil. I just had to loosen my diaper (Lol) / core wrap due to muted flavor. Flavor kickin now! Wick material needs to be just lightly touching coil. I use a needle on the coil to maintain looseness. Here's a pic of my oddy

LOL Bap, every day we are getting closer to building a great rebuildable carto in a tank...
Did someone say rebuildable carto in a tank
thanks Jeremy, I'll try looser wrap next time, in the past I used cotton and it was fine but I didn't wrap it as tight maybe, and I didn't fill the whole thing before so it was probably looser because of that too.
Quick question for BJ or anyone that might have tried this hemp. I found this in my wife's craft crap and I'm boiling it up right now but thought I'd ask.
Is it any good for a hemp wick in a Kayfun?
The one on the left.
The label says: Hemp Jewelry cord by Elements and #1890 natural/nature made in Hungary.

If it is 100% natural hemp it should be ok.
Cool, thanks bj. I'll give it a try on my next wick. I know you are a tobacco juice kinda guy like myself and figured it was time to check this stuff out to see what effect it has on my Casa brew.
I see it says cord, and cord is usually braided, twine is twisted. I found that twisted wicked better than braided, so if yours is braided just unravel it.
EDIT* lol nm i read closer... you were looking for a solution OTHER than dog brush. They are cheap though. The dog brush i bought was $6.99. Certainly doesnt help you now either.

Bap that looks like a thumb screw torture device Seriously, that is very, very cool. It looks like you have a variable resistance mechanism; how are you securing the wires and how are you going to control the top piece? (Twist able top cap?)

Looks like the very top piece will be a standard set screw, drilled and tapped inside to create a spiral that matches the spiral of the coil. Then a standard Allen wrench will be used to adjust the set screw up and down to change the coil resistance.
Ingenuous really. My hats off to bap for a simple design solution. What are you a rocket scientist?
No wait, a rocket scientist would design something that takes the entire GNP of a small third world country to fund, and take five years to build.
No adjustable resistance....just a set screw drilled out with a 16g needle protruding out a smidge (same on the bottom). So wrap your coil stick it in and tighten down the screw, dry burn, tighten a smidge, good to go
Or that's the theory anyway.

I have done the variable resistance thing with a screw before, but the screw was on the inside of a larger diameter coil.
Threading the inside of the set screw should work ok if you can match the pitch and diameter of the coil. Have to look at that for rev 2.

So wait. I just came up with a "new" idea? Does that mean I get one of these Rev. 2 atties?
EDIT. Doing a thread on the inside would eliminate the need for inserting a needle and you would still have flow through the vertical coil.

The problem with threading the inside is that you have to find a size and pitch that worked with the coil, and would limit you to particular wire gauge and coil diameter.
This is true. Could be problematic. But, coils have a little spring to them, so I "believe" that you would have some flexibility.
maybe leave it unthreaded except for one or two small bladed notch thingies that screw down inbetween the wraps in the top of the coil. in essence, serving the same purpose as threading, but being more forgiving to variations. Doubt that would work either though. cause the bump/thread notches would have to be too small.

clamping the whole coil is brilliant, but won't the mass of the 2 ends really sink a lot of heat out of the coil? even if the coil did get hot enough to vape good I think the atty would heat up like crazy, it's a heat sink for the coil. maybe devise some way to isolate the heat transfer so it's thermally floating
Yes this has been a problem in similar things I have done in the past. But I'm not giving up on the concept because if I can get it to work I think it would be super easy and effective. I have some ideas, just need to try them.
