I am with you on that. I tried a few .2 ohm wraps when I first started wrapping coils, and I agree it was just too hot.
Now, I try to keep them between .4 and .7 ohms, Except my Lemos, I run them 1.1 so I can use them on my MVPs.
How's the airflow on the Geyser dude? Was wondering how the bottom feeders compare to standard holes.
Airflow is not that bad actually. After taking it fully apart you can definitely enlarge the air holes with a bigger drill bit. I will try this later on after a few builds. Will run dual with all 4 airflow open to see if that helps.
I will break it down again and snap more pics.
I'm assuming the Geyser can also be run with a simple dual-coil setup too, right? Can the unused air holes be closed off? How does it compare, flavor-wise, to a Magma?
Yes the unused airflows can be closed off. On the AFC ring there is like 8 holes drilled out. When you switch to the next marking on the base it closes off certain slots. Like I mentioned on the other post it will be better when I take it all apart again and show more pics. As of flavor it was pretty good for cloud chasing and if running in dual coil I'm sure the flavor will be good.
I can see that both have bottom airflow to the coil and reduced chamber so almost alike. Let me try and build a simple dual coil like the Magma and test it. Report back.

Here, i used to also have problems making these clapton coils, i would always end up with uneven top wraps or gaps here and there between them,
the way i think i've seen most people hold the wire in video's is like this below and as you see i have gaps starting to form..
this below is the way i hold the wire being wrapped over the top of the core wire, i'm keeping tension by holding my finger against the core wire and also i'm causing a bit of friction with the wire running through my hand, doing it this way i can also keep an eye on what the wire is doing, and if it does start overlapping on itself you just reverse the drill while you peel the overlap back off(keeping tension)..
this is 2x 22g A1 with 32g A1..
kanthal on kanthal is more forgiving cus you can sometimes get away with closing the gaps up but with kanthal seems to inbed itself slightly into nichrome..
And heres the coil i made, 1/8 id.. it tastes like i've added atleast another mil of flavour concentrate to my juice, its awsome..

While I can see this as a good vape, I also would tend to think it would be a leaking nightmare... How does this atty "not" leak?
I still have problems wrapping a clapton, I'll continue trying at the expense of my kanthalHere, i used to also have problems making these clapton coils, i would always end up with uneven top wraps or gaps here and there between them,

you will work it out how you need to hold the wire, i am sure!
Lightning vapes on Ebay for 100' rolls of Kanthal for what you pay for 25' rolls elsewhere.
lightningvapes on eBay
they dont always have every wire and ga all the time, i always look there first but i hate waiting
EDIT: I ment the MESH CO. cus the lightning doesnt deliver to UK LOL ... I have had some from LV but customs

Sexy coils! I'm debating getting some 20g G-plat for my Stillare V3/Cartel Boss (clone) combo. Enjoying 24g G-plat but noticed some oxidisation after 2 weeks use.. How many watts you firing at those coils dude?Well heres my latest build..
20ga A1 on 3/32 id..
pretty damm good..
It does not leak. When you wick it you put some extra wick on the corners down towards the base.
