^ thank you. We have an awesome group of enthusiasts here. I'm very proud to be among y'all :).

All because individuals like yourself are leading the way! And thanks for the pointer above! I really haven't noticed a lack of flavor as my only comparison are the standard carto's and tanks I've used for the last 5-6 years. The only major changes I ever made before this was the natural progression from cig-a-likes/eGo/mech progression most of us experienced. Heck, I didn't check out VV/VW before this year because the Prodigy V3 I got when they first came out is still kicking and worked to keep me off analogs. Brand new world just opened up (and there goes the vape budget!) when I started researching RDA/RBA's. We'll see where this ends up, but I'm along for the ride!

^ what a sweet ride it is :). Glad to riding shotgun with ya bro. And thank you for the props :)

I can't help but to try to share what works excellent. My priorities in specific order are:

1. Best possible vape with no compromise portability (I stick with one system. I am not the type to have one system for home, one for work, one for woods... And I don't carry any backups).

2. Consistent Easily repeatable results.

3. Low maintenance / hassle free, durable.

There is a backup carto in each of my rides but I've never had to use one :)

Ok guys I have read the first 10 pages and successfully made 2 micro coils for two of my dripped. My question is with the center of the coil that small how in the heck are u getting anything but cotton in there as a wick? I tried with my cotton thread like stuff and the silica wick I have to no avail, so I went to the ol cotton ball and threaded them that way.

So, give it up, what's the secret? :)

Cotton ball is the secret.

Sterile rolled cotton from CVS pharmacy. Twist it up so it's fairly dense and just thick enough to make contact with the inside of your coil. Twist one end into a little point so you can easily thread it thru the coil. It should pull thru your coil with very little resistance. If it binds or it's too loose, pull it out and redo it. You want the wick to be the same density and thickness for the entire length that you will keep after trimming.

After you install it, Trim the wick so both sides just contact the deck.

I have found the best performing micro coils to be 1.4 - 1.6 mm inside diameter.

Select a wire gauge that gives you your target resistance in 10 - 12 wraps for best results :)

We don't have CVS here. Our equivalent is Walgreen's. Can't find anything that matches, at least description wise. This stuff is just a long strand of loose cotton fiber, rolled up right? It's not a gauze or woven bandage, right?

Could someone post a picture of the roll with the end hanging loose for reference?

I had checked Walgreen's in my area along with a few other places, no rolled cotton. Lots of gauze, woven bandages, and cotton balls to be found at all of them, but no rolled. CVS was the only place I found that carried sterile rolled cotton. Before that, I used organic cotton balls for a bit and that works well too.
