On todays episode of hoarders... lol

Wow ok so I was just about ready to give up on micros and I've finally (!) hit the sweet spot. On my fourth attempt, I wrapped a pretty flawless coil that came in at 1.8 ohms, but it still tasted dry. The key was to trim my wicks by 1-2 mm and press them against the inner wall... away from the juice channels. Now it's feeding great and the flavor is virtually perfect. I guess my wicks were puffing up and blocking the channels which was causing it to dry out.
I'm fairly sure the how-to videos I watched mentioned this, but it didn't sink in that having your cotton 2mm too long could really affect performance that much. I'm happy now. I guess it just took a little trial and error on my part. Happy vaping!
I haven't tried ribbon wire in the KfL yet. I thought about it, but it seems like you'd run out of room, with .8, which is equivalent to 28ga.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you considered a Kayfun mesh setup?
i made a hybrid wick out of 3mm ekowool and 325 mesh. works and tastes better than my genny's... vaping nirvana.
thats funny, not doing micros, but i have a couple KF and no matter what i do i cannot get good solid wicking and flavor with one strand of wick, double it up and works perfect. even with different resistances, even tried ribbon coils, nope, wont do it with a thin wick for me lol.
waiting on the extension parts now just to play, made me think - if i make it twice as long does that make it an ultra light?
wow! that's money brother

Up until now I've been a little disappointed. I finally got a coil built day before yesterday that was good, not great but good. Then last night I rebuilt it instead of refilling and the results were not so good... off taste and not much vapor (boy this thing isn't very forgiving with coils!) I've been using 30g. This morning I awoke with a renewed sense of determination (LOL) and saw your post and thought wth. I wrapped 11 wraps of 28g (1.3ohms) It was the most perfect coil ever (I should have taken a picture because I'm sure I could win some kind of award) Installed it perfectly, slipped in a sliver of cotton, saturated it and filled it. Now FINALLY I'm getting the vape I've been after!
Between this success and the "out for delivery" notice on usps.. very happy this morning![]()
