I'm liking the .055" one.
I made it. The first iteration is the one on top. Then I made a new improved one with the wing it facing in. It's the one in the middle. The 90 degree piece on the very bottom is a .055" piece that I use to mount the coil on my RBAS
But before I bought the .055" music wire at hobby lobby I liked the 2nd smallest one - I think it was 1.5mm
.055" is my go to diameter too, rarely will I go up to 1/16" anymore. here is a 10 wrap 26 ga. .055" comes in at ~.8 ohm
Perfect......

This thread sure keeps me on the straightened arrow. Every now and then I'll get these bad habits that I can't shake. In my recent builds I have put the coil so close to the air hole that I restrict my flow and get a harsh throat hit. Thanks for posting that turbocad6, I'll be building a 27awg 8 wrap iteration while looking at that pic.

So... I know this isn't a micro coil, but I saw some random dude do it in a video and I had to try it.
I found some 1mm glass pipettes in my clinic and went to town. What a pain it is to coil on these things!
Anyways, a few tries and several small cuts on my fingers later:
I have to give credit where it is due, so to you random youtube glass wick guy... You get two opposable thumbs up!
What a clean vape!
Now to figure out a better way to do it without carving my fingers like a thanksgiving turkey!

Aaaaaaaaand... Thats all folks. As clean as the vape was, it dries out quick. Too much effort

Build a normal coil and then roll it in half and lay them side by side. By doing this you can get two wicks on the deck. I trim the wicks just slightly over the top of the coil and have the bottom a little heavier on the deck.

Yeah. I broke a glass pipette into little pieces and wrapped the coil around it. Im going to attempt a better build on it. It vapes super clean tasting with killer vapor production, but it requires a lot of squonking.

Just re-coiled my Grand yesterday. 27g 1/16" 8/9 .96Ω micro w/ RxW... Used my new mandrel that I got from Russ and the RxW went into the coil better than my previous coils w/ 1/16" drill bit. Coil is nice and tight. Didn't have to fire and compress like I used to have to do. It hits pretty good, but I think I kinda liked the .8Ω coil I had on it previously. I may redo it and take a wrap or two out of it....
and a pic with the cloud chaser sanded down...

Ok, so I didn't care for the previous build so ripped it out and set up something different. This one is 28g twisted 8/9 .67Ω on the coil jig mandrel. This one vapes much better than the last one. More to my liking...

You could try, carefully, flame polishing those ends so you will be much less likely to cut yourself. Obviously wear safety goggles in case you heat too much in one spot and shatter it.
Edit: You could also try wrapping on a full unbroken piece so no cuts and prettier coils, then slide your coil on your broken piece.

I never did revisit the idea. I may get there eventually, but i received a few squares of KGD cotton and am hooked. I dont notice a massive difference between it and the cotton balls, but they fit perfectly in my spare battery case.
