Yikes! I'm
vaping at 6 volts!!!!
Tonight I decided to try making an oversize 3mm wick for the Vivi Nova. Here's a good, simple pictorial on doing it.

I also tried out some Kanthal A1 34 awg wire. I've never used 34 awg before, I've been doing all my
coils with 32 Kanthal. I used less wraps with the 34 as its thinner wire and has a higher Ω rating. But I didn't factor in the fat 3mm size of the coil. The Ω on the coil came out to 5.1Ω's - holy cow bat man! I had to crank up the Provari to 6 volts just to get to my sweet spot of ~7 watts of power. I used 8 pieces of 6 strand bamboo cotton through the coil and there's still room for more. I didn't put the cotton over top yet - but I'm getting tons of vapor with this setup.
So tomorrow I'll rip it apart and use 1/2 the coil size to get down around 2.5-2.8Ω and add the cotton topping.
