I had used nickel coils previously and would put coils in much more often bit of a pain for me. The new vaporizer and tanks make the job easier and I'm using the Clapton coils, I have a Daedalus for putting on the outer winding, don't think I'd be able to do that by hand. I don't use much cotton since it seems to stop the popping and it's easier to remove the wicking. Staying with tobacco flavor means I can add a different tobacco flavor and after a few vapes the new flavor come through.
