Thanks USMCotaku.
That is crazy cool and I've got to give that a try.

On a side note I've noticed every kayfun and Russian I've seen have tiny juice channels compared to mine. They haven't been enlarged at all and I'm guessing that's why mine is such a pita to keep from flooding. If I don't wick it just perfect it isn't fun because I'll lose the juice out the air hole. I'll see about getting pics when I go to rebuild or re cotton.

Form your wick ends into points, and place them directly inside the channel, this could stop the leaking

Looks like a 3 strand braid. You could probably figure that out fairly easily

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

no it's not a braid my friend, its a 4 strand twist/reverse twist of 24ga, it's the same sort of process to make a chain wire but this turns into a triangle, the wire has 3 side's. :)

Is there a you tube video out on that wire wrap?

here ya go bud :) >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWHrWCAn28I

using 2.5mm id a single coil using 24g nichrome and 3 wraps gets me about 0.11ohm's.
26g nichrome about 0.2ohm's on a single.
28g n dual about 0.15 but this may have been 2mm id & 4wraps

and im using non touching wraps.

nice coils man :) what atty is that?

Thanks bro. Been off the cloud chasing builds for awhile till I feel better. Can't take those big lung hits.

But I've been flavor chasing lol. It's an Origen dripper. I fell in love with this thing. Ordered 4 more, but I'm waiting to try that Samurai atty out.

I shall get one and try it next time i make an order, your as bad as me buying four more, i did that with the plumeveil's when they first came out and only use one of them now so i only buy two of any atty now and thats only if i really like the look of her :D
By all accounts everyone is loving the samurai but its bottom fed, me no likey BF air, i never liked the magma, i have the Lancia which aint bad but the space is a little restricted for me.
this following atty looks the total opposite to bottom fed air and is probably really nice on flavour >> $9.64 Lethali Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 23mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Lol. I just got all the colors after the first one. Make sure you get one with the brass post. I have one with the copper post and it broke. I had to use a small grinding tool to enlarge the positive hole to accept 24 ga.

They are all going on their own dedicated SMPL mods. Yea I know....got 4 more of those also. ;) All my items are almost ready to ship. Just waiting for all the Samurai AFC rings and coil wonder to be stocked.

Good looking build. I love that build personally if for nothing else the flavor seems more intense, especially on those more subtle juices.
The only problem I have with mine are, as fast as it heats up, it takes a while to cool down. That said, the trade off is worth it.

i tend to go a little heavier on the wick with builds that are a little slower on cool down, really puffy bits of cotton either end of the coil like how yosh vapergate at youtube does and if it still doesnt behave itself which is very unlikely after this then i wick the underside of the coil aswell, but got be honest i havent had any issues with that 3 wrap build above ^^, but its still only 5 strands of 32g and a .6 ribbon, maybe 4 or 5 wrap would take a while on cool off.
i'm using the airek with huge air which prob helps aswell.
this build also reminds me of the vape you get with braided 32g which isnt far off a chainlink or interlock build.
