Grab the pedestal section on your deck (where the two wire screws are) with a pair of pliers and screw in your connector post from the bottom using a screwdriver. Be sure your insulator is lined up with the pedestal first. Should only be a fraction of a turn to cinch it up.
Sounds like some burnt juice. I've had that happen usually when my voltage was too high for the coil (too low ohms). Make sure to use very hot water to wash it out.
hmm...how can i stop that from happening? im using a mech so i cant change the power output...and it never used to do that before i switched to the micro coil/cotton wick. more wick maybe?
Your wicks look ok to me. Don't go more wick as it can cause more problems. Try adjusting your draw to slower/ shorter draws. Are you chain vaping since you love your new micro build? I'm definitely guilty of that!!! lol. Also think about the juice. Sweeter juices burn easily with more power.
Oh you meant tighten.
I'll try that and re inspect the build as soon as the wife falls asleep. I hope I haven't just lost my touch rolling the cotton to the right density, I don't feel like I am but I definitely feel like my KFL is falling into a rut. yes i have been chain vaping lol. i think ill try taking slower draws and see how that works out. if not maybe i can drop it down to a 6 wrap instead of 7 so itll burn a lil hotter so i wont have to take such long draws
Well you are actually vaping at around 17 watts right now. I think maybe trying one more wrap could limit the amount of un-vaporized juice. How thick is your coil? You could perhaps try going smaller coil with more wraps to achieve the same resistance. that would actually increase the surface area to more efficiently vaporize your liquid.
its 28g kanthal. i dunno what the diameter is, i just used to smallest screwdriver in my kit. i have a 1/16 drill bit i was going to use but forgot it at home this morning before i came to work but i really wanted to rebuild so i used the next smallest thing i had lol. ill try using it in a couple days when i rebuild again. thanks for the advice!
No problem Mark. 1/16" at 1 ohm on both my KF's and it rocks!!!! I even do the same coils for my Patriot rda just doubled for some serious clouds lol.
for that matter then why not just get the 3.1es, is it really that much smaller? I never bought a lite because the airflow is so key to the function of a vacuum tank atty like this that I wouldn't want to not have it. it's another tool in your tune ability. tightening up the draw will increase tank feed. also I would hate to have to remove the atty every time I want to fill it, the es has an awesome fill port on the side, it's a small hole in the side of the base with a tiny ball check valve in there. all you have to do to add fluid at any time is turn the unit so the drip tip faces down, then inject fluid from the tip of your bottle. even the mini has both of these options.
I was going to mention the 3.1 but my post looked like it was getting too long.
It may be trivial to some, but I don't think I can deal with the size of the 3.1. Of course for those who don't mind the extra length, I agree with you the 3.1 is the way to go.

Sounds good I'll definitely try that next round. Third times a charm haha

2nd micro coil attempt after getting some suggestions from you guys. 7 wraps 28g kanthal with sterile cotton wick. Came in a little higher than I wanted at 1 ohm but it's still a good vape. Gonna try 6 wraps next time and see what I get

6 wraps may work for you but is kind of low. micro coils in general are between 8 to 12 wraps. try it and see but my experience has been once you get lower then 7 or 8, the vape gets a little harsh, its just not as smooth as more coverage. what I tend to do is keep at least 8, if you need to lower the resistance go with a thicker wire. the wick looks perfect to me.
yeah, think the general consensus is 8-10 wraps as the ideal microcoil. I sometimes like even more, 12-13 is still very good for my tastes but that long can cause complications in some atty's too. I had a dual 17 build in my cyclone atty and it was really really good, not sure why I ripped I out and went less, guess I just thought it must be way too much, but hasn't been really as good since, might go back and try closer to 15. I agree though, less than 8 does start to get a bit harsh
sometimes adjusting the coil height can affect it. I find the lower I put the coil the more the coils will oxidize(or is it the other way?). anyways try adjusting the height, it may help. how high do you keep your coil?
