umm I just tried the I wick I think... I did it in the reo with the coil high for TH... 1/16 26g @0.5Ω.... normally would get dry hits or coil burn being so high off the deck but this worked really well... and it don't even matter if I over squonk juice cus that long wick hanging down like two vines from a tree are gonna suck that up...
just check me.. I think I prepared it correct..
flattened out my cotton as I would if rolling dry
soaked cotton in juice
rolled up juiced cotton nice and firm which squeezes out most of the juice
flame cotton and blowout before it burns
re-juice , install in coil
is^^ that right, it worked ok

here some pics... not one sign of wick burn or any taste of naked coil.. im impressed
Glad to see you trying the wick
Only step you did that I didn't see in either ITEO's or Deed's instructions was the "flame cotton and blowout before it burns" step.
Did you literally run a flame on the wick before installing it?
For me, I just installed the newly rolled juiced wick in my coil, then fire it a few times til the wick dries out some, then re-juice the wick and it's ready to go.
I'm still experimenting with this wicking style myself and only tried a few different builds and am still trying to find the right density and compactness of the rolled cotton. From the looks of ITEO's and Deed's pictures, they seem to roll it fairly compacted, so when juice there's no translucency to the wick.
It looks to me that you could go a little denser in your roll from the pics you provided. Part of what's nice with iTeos wicks is that they won't collapse (shrink) after use and I think that if you don't roll it compact enough that yours will still have room to shrink. It may just be that your using a smaller ID for your coil vs what I have seen and that's why it looks translucent.
I've tried some more compacted rolls to start with, I will try a less dense build for my next coil to compare the differences.
Since you have tried a less dense version, maybe try a more compacted version for your next trial and we can compare our experiences after we have had some time vaping on each style wick.
Perhaps Deeds can chime in on the compactness of his wicks too. His pictures and firing videos of these wicks were my inspiration to even try this method. Deeds wicks always looked perfect in his builds, little wicks of art to match his builds.

I usually run my drippers dual coil at between 0.3 & 0.4 ohms with 6 wraps of 26 g on a 1.6 mm or 1/16in mandrel.
If deeds and iteo are using 7/64" or 2.75 mm, what gauge is suggested?
I want to keep it above 0.2 but preferably around 0.3 ohms.
From the pics it seems like they run 8 or 9 wraps.
I got every gauge from 20 up to 36 in increments of 1 but haven't messed much below 24.

What up guys! been a long time since I last posted but yes, everyone should at least try my wicking method... iTEO wick
I posted a mini pic tutorial here as I was bombed with requests after deedupdex made it explode LOL just read the description and comments: iTEO Wicking Method
You can check out the rest of my IG feed for more pics

Interesting. In the first one, the single coil, I can see you've fed the one end of the cotton wick under the coil down on the base where it will wick juice. That makes sense. But the other end, where exactly does that end go? It appears to wrap up and over the coil then down between coil and positive post. Surely I'm not interpreting the pic properly. So where does it go exactly?

Question regarding:
2nd photo down...upper left corner
What is the technique to get coils centered on the positive post like that?
How do you get that negative leg to bend so nicely without causing the last wrap to unravel a bit?
All my coils on a 3 post are always centered between the positive and negative posts.
I just did my first lo dual sub ohm and it is really intense and works amazingly with 2 second drags
but if I hold it any longer I get a glowing coil even if the cotton wick is fully saturated...
is this normal or do I need to try a larger diameter for this kind of ohms?

thanks! that's what I thought, what are your diameter preferences?
2-3mm Dia.
that is where i aim for... even at the ohm you are showing, i dont get any glow on a juicy wick.
YMMV.

Hey Sedge this is how I do it
you can hold your coil with needle nose pliers making sure to catch the legs as well as the coil
then you can insert one of the legs into its post and force it sideways towards the other post a little
repeat for the other leg, you are basically just doing this to be able to insert both legs if they don't go
straight in without bending
insert both legs whilst holding the coil and legs with nnpliers but don't just push it in to the position you need
push a little further then back it off to where you need it orelse you get that spring & gap
or you could form your legs whilst holding in pliers before installing, like a tailored fit
hope you didn't mind me explaining my way
when I was reading your post I thought you were going to ask iteo what wire that is hes using that looks copper colour... anyone know???
