Forgive me if I'm totally not scientific with all the ohms and watts lingo. The best way I think I can answer this is with microcoils, they are smaller in diameter and tightly wound, and although it looks like 2 mm cotton, it generally isn't more than a very thin piece much smaller that expands greatly once saturated. That is why cotton is the best wick for microcoils. I've been using .5 mm ribbon wire for a little more surface coverage at 9 wraps, and just a very thin threading of cotton. And let I wrap the cotton around the post and let a small portion lie on top of the coil for extra wicking. Some just lay the cotton under the coil and don't even feed it through the coil which can only work well with good cotton that absorbs so well. I'm not sure if this explains it but it's the best I know to describe the way microcoils work so well. And since the cotton absorbs so well, it really takes a very dry wick to get burned. But even still if I get a slight burn it is still okay after saturating again because there is always some moisture left enough in the surrounding cotton that I've never had it flame up or anything. Cotton just wicks so amazingly and is easy to replace and keep reusing the coil after a dry burn.
Plenty of microcoil discussion here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...271-micro-coils-increase-vapor-flavor-th.html
I built coils ranging from 0.025" to 3/32" in toppers ranging from 14.5mm to 22mm to see what suits my style. I find pros and cons to different coil diameters. Coil positioning, air hole size, etc should also be considered when looking for your gold standard build.
Go for it buddy! What ever works for you
I prefer RTA's as I don't have to drip and redrip which I just find annoying!! Carto tanks are the ....! Great VTF!So the easiest way for me to answer this is just to tell you how I do it.
A & B: If you want 1.3 ohm, I usually do about 10 - 12 wraps on a 1.4 mm or 2 mm drill bit (9 - 10 wraps on a 2mm)
C: Try inserting the cotton and put a cloud underneath it as well I find this wicks better and holds more juice.
The other way I have done it is to put a layer of cotton on the deck, soak it with juice and then fold it over your coil, this works nice for me
I had to lower my nic due to major high blood pressure problems so I had no choice in the matter. I had to get satisfactory throat hit with low 6 mg nic, and the only decent way I found to do it was with rebuildable dripping atomizer. I tried with no success to use a genesis style tank atomizer but I know if I practice more it would work. I also don't care for the hassle of dripping but for now it's the only way I can be satisfied with my low nic. I hope to get comfy with a tank setup when I can. I hope my all day Vape flavors taste as good in them when I do. As far as going through a lot of juice, I only use one coil and dripping makes me go through a lot less juice. And since I make my own juice dirt cheap, I don't care even if I did go through a lot as long as I'm vaping happy. Everyone uses a certain juice or setup depending on their personal reasons and there is no wrong way to vaping as long as you stay satisfied and off the cigs.
^ I may be wrong on this Miami, but I think you can get some drops to add throat hit without changing flavor. I think MBV sells some form of them. Can't think of the name off the top of my head though.

I'm right there with you. I'm new, and have had no problems whatsoever with this kind of set up. I got some evod clearomizers with my kit, and then ordered some of those same Discount Vapors clearos. I like them just as well as the evods, and you sure can't beat the price!
OK, gonna try to pull 3 related replies together so forgive me if this is a bit confuzzled. Real quickly, thanks Miami, emus and egal for the replies as they help a lot. Here we go...
OK, about the tech lingo, the only reason I use it is to help keep everything straight. And the comment about the 1.3ohm dual-micro coil is just because that's pretty close to my sweet spot and I've had issues doing dual coils on my devices. My reply to you specifically, Miami, was because I have all the materials you are using as well as the 2 devices that you are building the coils for.
Talking about how the cotton expands when saturated makes the look of your coils make much more sense. The 32ga kanthal I have is .2 mm and I have been wanting to try twisted wire so that will kill two tests at one shot as well as approximate your set up, good win-win lol.
I'll have to get into a forum like emus mentioned for a walkthrough with pictures or maybe (hint, hint) get lucky the next time you build a set up.
I think I see where you are going with this, just wrapping my head around the deck sizes you mentioned since I never thought of them that way.
I think I follow in terms of heat over the space, in relation to air hole size and coil size when talking about the amount of heat generated by the coil as it's fired when you light it up to hit it.
I think I get most of this, I just don't quite get the cloud thing in "c". I guess you are talking about a small piece that's just left on the top deck attached to the coil.
The last method sounds like it may not be stable enough as I use my mod at work and it does a pretty fair amount of bouncing around.
Thanks for all the help, I'll check out the other forum post and start experimenting.

I only read a few pages. I like roughly 1.2 ohm single coil in a 14.5 mm topper the best. 20 to 22 mm chamber seems to produce a bit lower quality vapor in typical genny style or RDA. My twisted 30GA makes 1.2 ohms when wrapped 8 times around 3/32" drill bit. My sxd style micro 28GA meters 1.5 ohms when ID is 0.055", about 11 wraps, 0.150" coil height. Both are nice coils.

Reo Grand with an A7 at .8-.9 ohms cotton 70/30 PG/VG juice.
Provari Mini with an A7 at 1.5 ohms cotton same type of juice.
Both are fantastic vapes. I love my A7s but since they are getting scarce, I use RDAs. I like screw top RDAs. Bottom air fed is best, but as long as the air hole lines up with the coil I'm a happy vaper.

WHAT? YOU WOKE ME UP!! D:<
An analogy for what you just said:
lol I promise you, dripping is where the throat hit is at bro.
nothing gives a better throat hit than a small chamber RDA.

K100 (silver) 18350 mode topped with my 2014 addition Kayfun Lite Plus.
Boy did I not know what I was missing until the Kayfun came in the mail the other day! Compared to the cartos I was using I'm loving all my juices 10x more can't put it down
I agree I'm almost done using cartos since I got my KFL, just need to buy 2 more and I'm set
