Couldn't say anything to do it justice have run Cotton Silica and now Ss mesh no wicking issues Super easy to set up honestly I FREEKING LOVE IT! loved it so much that when my wife claimed mine I immediately bought a second and I'm ready to just give away my novas kanger. It is a little airy if your used to an airy draw but flavor is great. I actually like all my juices and some I was ready to throw away when I vape them in the Nova...
7 wraps of a doubled 28awg on 2mm drill bit at .8 Ohms with SS mesh 400 wrapped into a bit of cotton ))
Fairly classic, but been working well for once. 4/3 wrap of ribbon Nichrome on 400 SS wick
Hey vans... How do you like the double wire? Can you compare it to Twisted same ga.?

Heyhey!
Don't have much of experience with twisted coils... done it once on IGO-W4 by hand twisting it
(lack of drill, need to get one)... butI must say I love how doubled wire performs... reminds me more of a dual coil on AGA-TD. Flavor is good, vapour is warm and vapour production is good with a short drags... no problems with wicking... can chain vape holding it at 5 o'clockish with no dry hits.
Tried all sorts but I keep coming back to this. 3/16 ss rope wrapped in ss mesh. .8mm kanthal at 1 ohm. I believe the extra wick up top helps alot with preventing dry hits
Now you see when I try mesh it taste very metallic and mutes the flavor.. I'm thinking why do people like mesh so much it's awful, or maybe I'm doing it wrong. I also run into burnt cotton hits .. I would like to try mesh again but I need some advice why it's tasting so metallic..

I believe both of those problems are due to bad wicking, lack there of... I know if your burning your cotton is not wicking fast enough, it's either too fat or too skinny, prolly to fat....

ive dealt with the metal taste before, i found the best place to start is making sure your first wrap isnt too tight, it needs to just rest on the wick and the rest should follow the same, when your wick and coil are complete.. a new build should allow the wick to spin freely in the coil with very little resistance.
next i start pulse firing and i will rotate the wick slightly till i see the worst (if any) hotspots go away, then i use a 1 mm flat screw driver to prod the coils to glowing perfection.. there is usually very little to be done there..
the final step i use is to take my liquid and drip it directly on the coil then i burn it off. i repeat this about a dozen times soaking the wick then burning.
fill the tank.. take a few primer puffs.. no metal taste.
this is a 1/16 ss rope with ss mesh with .8mm kanthal. tried to emulate the microcoil and came out to .9 ohms this was by far the best coil i experienced however it had slight leaking issues from the wick hole since the wick was so small.
I had a problem when I started using mesh. For 2 days I couldn't figure out what was wrong. After ripping out my 3rd coil in 2 days it dawned on me, I never torched the mesh and it probably still had some type of oil or residue of some kind on it. Recoiled, got the hot spots out, filled the tank and primed the wick, and the taste was great... I have switched to SS rope wrapped in mesh since then, taste is pretty much the same, but wicking increased incredibly...
I just got my new Kraken clone. Lovin it. Not my prettiest build, but it works.
dual 7 wraps - 28g Kanthal - 0.7 ohms - SS rope and mesh

Thanks Jay! I take my inspiration from you guys here! My next adventure will be twisted 24 nichrome...
So now I consider my RSST fully tuned to my likes:
1.5ohm micro using 26g nichrome, 400 SS wick, and tiny bits of cotton to prevent excess juice from being all over the deck. Lights up fast on Magneto and eGo, makes enough vapor for my likes, tastes just fine. And if I want to tinker more, I got 10' of the 26g and 20' of 28g to play with.
