I'm a big fan of the K.I.S.S. principle. (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
I only make simple coils (spaced or compressed, doesn't really matter). I've made some exotic coils before (I used to work in a vape shop), however I don't particularly enjoy making coils like some people do and don't see the point of exotic coils. I just want to vape.
I used 28 gauge kanthal for years, and have recently tried 24 gauge kanthal. I think I'll probably prefer 26 gauge as it should be more versatile for my needs. I vape around 30 watts on a regulated mod or a mech.
Generally I make two 1.2 ohm simple coils (0.6 ohm total) on either a Velocity clone or Patriot authentic. I use Rayon for wick; I feel it lasts longer than cotton and I don't get any of that "new cotton" taste with a new wick.
