Yeah...
I know where Mine is, I just Don't Know how much I have? And as soon as I know How Much I have, I Don't know where it is. Guess it is My Fault for cheaping out and buying Quantum "Styled" Entangled Cotton from fasttech.
Although the Shipping was Great. I actually got it before I placed the Order.
Cut up pieces of an old mattress we had lying around. It vaped like a Beautyrest.

There are contact coils, in which each wrap touches, and spaced coils, in which they don't. You can play around with them as you get used to coiling to see what works best. The only real limitation that I know of is that spaced SS coils tend to work better in TC than contact coils. Other than that, whatever you like best is the way it should be.
Dust mite and body sweat wicking? Yeah, no thanks.
That is a nice looking coilnfor your first try! 14 wraps would be for both sides. I haven't used 26 in a while. If youlike big coils like that you may want to try a parallel after you have gotten a bit of practice. It uses two wires so it makes each coil equal to 2. It would work great with 26 ga. wire.I did some calculations on a site steamengine.com. I hope that is reliable. It said for dual coil I need 14 wraps. So is it like 7 wraps on each coil. Or 14 on each? And if it's really 14 wraps, wouldn't it get to wide to fit the tanks??
These are 22 ga. A bit ridiculous but they hit really good. .15 ohms. 14 wraps is a bit big for RTAs this is in a Yun RDA which has a big build deck and wide posts.
32 wraps of 22 gauge wire must have an insane heat capacity, does the mod get uncomfortably hot while vaping that build?
What's the diameter? That's where I've run into problems with long contact coils.
I'm envisioning 4 half wicks on the desk in rewick day.
The Yun is a tall atty with the coils set pretty low. It has additionsl airflow in the post in.the middle. I wouldn't do this on a DR. The coils.are too close to the top.It would get hot But the Yun has vaped nice with those. It produces a ton of vapor quickly so it doesn't have time to get too hot. When I was glowing them though, that's another story.
I just twist it into a long thin point that can reach all the way through. You can't over wick them though. It gets a lot of traction going through just go light on the cotton. It wasn't too difficult to wick though. I didn't fully appreciate how strong 2 wires of 22 ga. is. I do now.
I was thinking more along the lines of the old wicks . I'm guessing they have a tendency to burn in the middle.
That's what I was thinking about my problems with long contact coils, drying in the middle. But 3mm isn't too skinny.
Oh gotcha. I haven't used it much yet. It probably will burn a bit in the center. There is not a lot of room for dripping on the wicks either. I mostly built this out of curiosity. I use my pulse with a parallel single coil in it as my daily driver. The Yun is such a big atty with so much airflow I use it a lot for crazy builds.
This is what i use on my EDC device.
X button... Haven't had a problem yet. Haven't used it much though.
3mm might be OK. Mine were on an 18ga needle so 1.27mm.
You just don't feed to the center while firing.
