Microcoils...Help

[JerseyB.]

So after a long long time (about 30 seconds) of consideration, I decided I want to try building a microcoil set up. I know the basics and how to do it, but one thing that I don't know is what diameter drill bit should I use to wrap my coils around.

I'm thinking either 3/32, 7/64, or 1/8...

Could someone help, because I honestly don't know if any of those are even the right sizes

ahhhhh! Help!!

I have not done it yet but just asked on the Micro coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH thread
And what I've been told is the 1/16 drill bit

Depends on what wick you're using. If you're using cotton, use as small a drill as you have. I frequently use a 1/16. For my Z-Atty, I use a 1/8 because that takes a 3mm wick.

#31-36ga paper clip or safety pin minimum 9 wraps
#26-30 use a 1/16 drill bit. minimum 8 wraps
touching and tight

a round toothpick is about 1/16 in the middle

thanks guys, yeah I just bought a bunch of organic cotton, so I'll go with the 1/16...I want to get around 1 ohm..soo about 5 wraps with 28g???

Or do you have any recommendations or suggestions on what you guys prefer?

Diameter is a function of what device you are building for and what type/size wick is needed. If you build a 1/16th wick and coil and then try to use it in a device that needs a 1/8th you are going to leak like crazy. On the other hand if you build 1/8 and the device needs 1/16 you are going to dry hit. There are a few devices that are not diameter dependent and in those a "micro" is usually 1/16th.
