I don't know these people anymore... They don't dress women clothes during a rebuild and on another thread I discovered that they actually use scissors to cut and shape rayon wicks instead of chewing them off properly with their teeth. What's next? Making coils with a mandrel? Measuring resistance?

:D :D :D

That looks better. I don't like how the free negative leg looks, though. A little longer than it needs to be, but it's surrounded by juiced cotton, so it should be fine.

I'll say this, it's now common opinion that for a horizontal coil, more is more when it comes to cotton. This is not the case with a vertical coil build. Packing or surrounding the coil with too much cotton can overload it and cause flooding. Try reducing the overall wraps of cotton you have there, then when the barrel is on, just very loosely pack in some fluffed up cotton.

As for vapor production, my experience with vertical coils in a Kayfun is that you need more wattage. I typically run my horizontals on a DNA30 at around 14 Watts. I will run a vertical coil north of 16 Watts to get the same vapor output.

thanks for the tips again, I will give it one more shot!

I agree a little to much cotton. To much cotton will supply to much juice for the coil to vaporize thus creating alot of unvaporized juice which gets sucked up.

before i start working on it, let ask a question... how big of the coil should be, 2mm, 2.4mm, or 2.7mm?

I used 2.7mm before in the posted pics, should i go smaller?

I've used all 3 sizes with great results. My latest build is 2.4mm (2.38mm) and it's awesome. The wick is much more important, IMO.
