Twisted 28/.7 flat ribbon kanthal. 5 wraps came out to .4 ohms. Loving it because the combination of round and flat kanthal brings out more flavor and vapor.

Cotton...
AINT' NO BODY GOT TIME FO DAT!
tank - GUS Estia,
Coil - triple micro coil , 30 ga, 0.4Ohms
Wick - Solid rolled SS, 500 mesh
VFT - it goes to 11!
Wow that is a sweet build! Any tips on using mesh with micro coils? Solid rolled wick or looser? Wrap on the mesh or wrap coil and insert mesh after?
For this application, i solid rolled the mesh, and had the coils set in place already.
I would consider this an ADVANCED build. So do it only if you feel comfortable with SS mesh.
This is more of a general statement and not directed at you specifically.
I need not stress the safety factor, when working with SS mesh wicks...
Shorts, hot-legs & anxiety are common to those that dont know how to work mesh.
before attempting mesh, Get familiar with Geni builds, and clearing hot spots, with such methods as pulse-firing, or whatever works for you.
Pulse firing creates a lot of heat, so make sure the deck you are working on can take the heat without melting any insulators.
- if you are new to mesh, you could potentially destroy a Kayfun Insulator(example).
- and if you lack common sense, the potential to vent a battery is there.

I have yet to try micro coils and mesh. I just recently acquired a strata from super t and have seen a mesh build in it and wanted to give it a shot. Iwill probably mess around with other builds first but I will eventually give it a shot.
If you are familiar with hot spots & Mesh just know that clearing hotspots on a microcoil, is a game of patience....
I'm not a fan of the Strata design, so i never bought one... Good luck.

I am pretty certain I will end up coming back to just simple micros and cotton in it. It vapes quite nice. Not a cloud chaser but the flavor and throat hit are on point. It makes for a good setup to take into the office. I keep the fun stuff at home.
understood . . . . . . . . . .
With this new generation of RipTripper fans, i just dont want to be blamed if someone melts their clone...
how did you get the mesh to fill out the entire inside of the coil?
ive tried micros + mesh a few times and every time the coil ends up too loose around the mesh.
i usually mount the coil, roll the mesh, then install the mesh. getting the mesh narrow enough to slide through the coil inevitably makes it too small (for me) and im always left with gaps between the coil and the mesh. i try to unroll the mesh slightly once inside the coil to increase the mesh's diameter, but its not easy and usually screws up my coil.
any advice?
i literally wiggle it in there... there is resistance, and it can pull on the coil a bit, but i just keep twisting the mesh and it eventually goes through.
I did spend a lot of time making this build. spent a good half hour just rolling and installing the mesh in the coils...
I originally used too much mesh, then just kept trimming it off till it was snug.
Technique is all it is, nothing more.
i went 30 gauge, so that may have helped... i would have mangled the coils if i went with anything thinner.
there's a size, thickness, density where the only way to get it in is to screw it in there (along the thread pattern the coils make). Once in however, you find that you can slide it back and forth . . .. not easily, but evenly slides . . .
BuzzKilla is confused by this question... Elaborate please

I believe he means are you rolling it with the grain at a 45 degree angle to your rolling direction?
Oh.... I thought I specified already.
The grain does go at a 45°.
The curve is to extreme for the conventional method.

Part 1 of the "Ribcage" coil. 26ga dual SidebySide (aka parallel) 7/64 inside diameter. Another set of these would beast and bringing the resistance down to .2Ω ohms. I used two 7/64 drill bits to wrap on. The original single wire design worked and heat up but it took too long and it wasn't burning evenly throughout the coil so I made some changes. I also incorporated iTEO wicking method with the build. Soild build with maximun surface area and flavor. If you make it a quad with another set it would be pluming clouds forsure. Thanks for checking it out and sorry I haven't been able to build much lately. Come by the page tommorrow I will try to put out a quick firing vid. To all those on instagram direct, email and facebook please bear with me I will get to all the questions eventually. Note: I now call parallel builds "side by side" out of respect and credits to Mr @hotwires_chadster I learned this from him waaay back since he was the very first person I've seen do this a very long time ago. To me all credits with these new parallel builds goes to him. Anyways "sidebyside" builds rock bro much props. I'm all about support and giving credit where its due. Thanks for checking it out!
