Another reason I don't like the giant holes is that I'm afraid of a big bug landing in there and the taste of it getting fried on my coil. Had that happen with a normal drip tip. Not good!

No I've actually had that happen, (the bug thing) more than a few times. it's disgusting and you have to at the very least take your rta apart and find where the bug landes, if it got near the coil it has to be replaced or my OCD won't let me vape it bc I'm afraid he crapped some spore pods or something onto there....
That's why when I go out I keep mine in my pocket, or lay it on Its side. My bangaround beater is just small a vapeshark dna75 so with my bangaround tank (tgt3 with mtl peek insert) it's fit in any pocket, pretty much.
If I'm out and I can't some times I'll stuff something like a napkin in there and lay it on its side.
Speaking of bugs...
Over on Head-Fi, ants made a nest in a users STAX SR-009 headphones.
If you are not familiar with STAX, they are a TOTL, end game, electrostatic headphone.

I hope they rinsed their ears out really well after the discovery.
you people are looking at this bug thing all wrong. when life gives you a bug, vape chocolate.
after testing the Nano for the 1st time 2 days ago I'm surprised that some claimed muted flavor IMO it has to do with the way you build it & wick it if you build wick it properly it shines.
When it comes to flavor IMO I ranked the Exo 1st & the Nano 2nd.

Ok, a question for you clapton aficionados.
I vape TC using spaced coils. Normally a 6/7 or 7/8 wrap 3.5mm ID.
How many wraps would I need if I bought a set of these in 3.5mm ID.
I use (and love) SS 430, so if I were to try claptons, these would be ideal for the trial.

Nice find! They have a chart. What does your coils ohm out to?
Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
Fill in your build and the calculator will tell you how many wraps you need for your target resistance hit the wire wizard tab to calculate claptons

The target resistance shouldn't really matter if vaping in TC in the first place. Pretty much all about surface area. I can build a .35 ohm 26/30 clapton with 5 wraps or I can build a
.85 ohm 28/36 Clapton and vape both at 435F and both work great. This is both with 3mm ID.

Target resistance always matters for safety!

Understand what you are saying but I'm talking about within reason. What I'm saying is that vaping a .35 ohm 5 wrap 26/30 at 435F has great performance as my .85 ohm 5 wrap 28/36 Clapton at 435F. Target resistance doesn't matter within my means of TC on my DNA. That's all I was trying to point out.
It's all about "Heat Coefficient", even many using the steam engine site don't know how to use that feature. I also use two iPhone apps that show it.
3mm ID Clapton coil @ 0.41 ohms close to the post & slightly higher than the post holes wicked with cotton tucked through the holes but not touching the base.
All nice info, but way beyond what I was wanting to ask. If I get a 7 wrap 3.5mm ID coil, when I spread it to be a spaced coil will it be too long for our deck?
But, reading the answers, it seems a 5 wrap will perform just as well. Unless:
First, Heat Coefficient. Sounds like a number that would matter greatly. What iPhone apps are you referring to?
