32g.. 2.2 ohm.. No bueno. I don't think less wire/lower resistance would help this one. Vapes weak on a mech. Makes vape but gets terrible hot legs at 12/13w on the VAMO. Tastes like glue, not the good kind.
So, maybe, just maybe, that's why it didn't work for "those other two fellows". 
I wasn't going to do this. I was going strictly armchair on this one. Here's 26 Nichrome (=25Kan). Works fine. HOT. Not really any spitting to speak of.
EDIT: I'm crudely wrapped onto a 3/64" bit
EDIT#2: probably ~ .5-.6Ω

26g Kanthal wrapped around a 1/32" paperclip 0.6ohm. No bueno.
Gets too hot and pops big time. The legs get hot, evenly. The first try in the op is still going strong and is still the best attempt.
Wondering if more coils and spacing them a bit would help:

I'd say about half your wire length is legs. I'm surprised that a 9 wrap on a 1/32" ID yields such high resistance. In this instance, 1/2 of that is in legs.
Im thinking you would get a lot of washbacks of gunks if you directly heat the juice puddle on the atty floor. You are boiling a large portion of a the juice and vaporizing the rest.
The wick serves the purpose of regulating the amount of juice in contact with the coil at one time. So im thinking there must first be a way to do that without a wick. I had an idea recently but no way to test it out since it involves an entirely new design and in no way guaranteed to work...

I did this today with 28 gauge - it works really well! Atty does get VERY HOT, though.
Thanks for posting this!

Eh.. there's not a large portion of juice to begin with. If it's cooking juice then it's at least not so bad that it's obvious in the flavor before the atty is dry. I've found that it works best to not fully submerge the coil. I start of vaping this with the air hole to the side then as I get through the 20 or so puffs I end up with it pointed towards me. Obviously not an ideal way to vape but it does have some benefits, juice tasting for example.. which is great for me because my gf went on a slightly ridiculous mount baker spree recently..
My pleasure
it's been fun playing with the idea. Unfortunately I haven't been able to best my first attempt in the OP (YET!), lol, or even match it... 
At least I haven't torn that one apart though, still enjoying it
Well only dripping a small amount of juice is certainly a way to regulate it
I wish i had a machine shop and like a year on my hands without academic or financial obligations. Test out allllll the ideas.

Couldn't make it work, lol
Plus once I followed pdib to micro coil land it was all over
My whole reason for trying to achieve wickless vaping was to make it quicker, easier and cheaper to switch between flavors. It doesn't get a whole lot easier than plucking out a tuft of cotton and twisting it up. I can swap wicks anywhere any time in less than a minute.
This is achievable, but I never got it to perform anywhere near as well as a wicked coil. Even if I had to re-drip every hit I would do it if the vape was as good or better than a wicked coil, but it's just not.

ahhhhh that makes sense. Lost in Micro-land. Honey I shrunk the Wick. lol
I couldn't get it to work either. I tried a bunch of different coils but I couldn't regulate the amount of juice without a wick. I too switched to micros and haven't bothered with anything since.
