Micro or Nano coils?

[Erik098]

I'm looking for opinions on micro and nano coils.
In a dual coil setup, which gives more flavor, vapor, throat hit, etc? Which do you like better?

I like to use dual 24g w/ a 9/10 wrap around a paperclip it reads at about .25 the only downside is that I don't have enough batteries to keep running that low but Christmas is just around the corner

The issue with nano coils is wicking. When you have a very low ohm build with nano coils you will burn through juice quickly and with a much thinner wick it can be tricky getting enough juice to the coils. When they work they work really well though so worth playing with.

You can get round that (to a certain extent) by dragon wicking. I use a quad 1mm innner diameter dragon coil setup in my fogger and it doesn't dry out too easily.

Does dragon wicking only work best on 3 post RDAs? I tried it on my Plume Veil clone like a month ago and got brutal dry hits rather quickly. Full disclosure: I'm pretty new at this and that was my first attempt.

For me anyway the nano was just to much fiddling with it to keep it working the way I wanted. Good vape when it was right, bad vape when it wasn't.
A micro is more 'set it & forget it', and I like vaping instead of fussing.

I enjoy micro coils much better. It's all user preference. Try both and figure out which you like better. That's the lovely aspect of building your own coils

For me it depends on the atty and how low I wrap my coils... I usually wrap dual 24ga that end up around .35 ohms or so. For those I want a lot of juice flow so I make them macro coils. When I'm building for a regulated mod at higher ohms, I make them micro coils. The only nano coils I guess would be when I was rebuilding Kanger heads... But I'm more about juice flow with hotter coils so I like "em big.

[EDIT] Also, when I'm building a smaller atty like an Atomic, I do a stovetop instead of micro or nano just to get more juice in contact with the coil.

I haven't had any trouble with quads on my 5 post fogger, maybe you're using too much cotton or winding it too tight, if you make the wick too dense it doesn't seem to allow as much liquid to flow to the coils.
