Here's a few more havoc, all cotton most are cotton yarn
All are under 0.8 0hm and work great.

This build is called the taser coil! Set up on the IGO W6, 23g Kanthal. This build took me about thirty minutes to make.

I hate it, takes forever to heat up and cool down. it is a .29ohm

Both the IGO W6 and taser coil are pure crap! I think the only thing it is good for is tasing someone in the neck!

Your pics encouraged me to try again on an AGA-T2 that was collecting dust, and oddly enough it worked out great! Peaches & Cream yarn, 29 gauge, 8 wraps, 1.4 ohms.

I tried my first coils on the W6 just a bit ago and it drove me to drink. Dual coils, 29 guage, 9 wraps each, 0.9 ohms. First attempt had a short, and had to start all over. 2nd attempt complete after about an hour farting with this thing. Looks ugly and doesn't vape all that great (like am airy clearo). Hate building on that thing already!

Sweet bro I'm glad to hear that. The biggest problem with the AGA-T2 is the huge top cap, due to the large amount of space under the cap the vape is very airy, if you notice in the pics, I have a bunch of pulse gennys, the reason I like those better than any AGA'S turbine, kraken etc. Is due to the reduced space inside the cap, notice the reducer, this is, what think at least, the most important part of an atty, will besides the variations of the build obviously, reducing the volume of the underside of the cap leads to the best, densest flavor.
I do use yarn p&c, it's great and super easy.

If you notice the bottom feeder in the pic below, it's an igo l, a Nimbus cap fits it and is much taller than the original igo cap, the cap I made is 22mm Od but the walls are very thick for the purpose of reducing the chamber volume as much as possible. With the same build the biggest, Nimbus, has the worst flavor, the smaller igo cap is better and the smallest, mine produces noticeably better flavor.

I made the od 22mm just to see what it looked like with a 22mm atty but the inside is very small.

Yes, I have pulse on my short list to see myself the difference with that reducer. I really appreciate your help and advice. Can't believe the yarn's working at all in the AGA, and I think I know why I had such failure with wicking in the past. Had to remove one of the strands to get the fit right for my microcoil. I know I didn't do that last try, and have no idea how I got it to fit. Less cotton, huge difference. Wicked and igo l the same way afterwards and it's doing quote well too. Might use up all this yarn after all, it is way easier to deal with than fiddling with cotton balls

this is my Nano Dragon. these first two are my fav's so far.
I also tried a Diamond, but it wasn't that great in my opinion. but it wasn't a great quality anyway.

this is all on a K-101 with Igo-w and Patriot with either a Sony 30 amp, or Efest 30 amp.

Finally pulled it off - Maybe not with 30G wire, but behold my new favorite - 32G Kanthal A1 'Double Barrel' / Cotton Build @ 1.03 Ohms:

I'm driving that baby at 15W and the vapor and throat hit is INSANE. Flavor - meh... then again, I'm too afraid to take a direct lung hit on it. LOL.

Nevermind that, took a lung hit, burns like hell itself. The TH almost dropped me. Which makes me wonder, do I need to drop my nic level? I'm at 24 now.

Nice bottom feed tbev, I've been looking into getting one. Where did you get that puppy? Or did you make it yourself?
