Single micro coil under 0.8 ohms

[Smlexy]

Hi, I have a k100 with and igo-l on it with a sony 30A battery hole drilled out to 1.8mm. The problem i seem to be have is going under .7 ohms, i wrap my coil around a 1/16 drill bit about 8 wraps, and all my 0.5-0.6 ohm coil seem to be burning almost straight away, i use cotton through the middle which works fine at 0.8 ohms. The cotton itself isn't visibly burnt but i can taste it on the first or second drag. The coils also light up evenly from the center outwards, with no visible hot spots.

I've searched everywhere on the net and for some reason sub 0.8 ohm micros seem to be none existent. What i'm wondering is, is there a limit to how low you can make micro coils without having to go dual coil. It seems that maybe i've reach the limitation of what a micro can do and that it's just getting to hot.

Any thoughts Veterans.

P.S Sorry to the mods for not understanding that the post had to be approved and retrying a bunch of times.

I have used micro coils down to 0.4 ohms without getting the burning taste you are talking about. However, you need to keep in mind that you getting really hot really fast. When you get that low on a single coil you will need to re-saturate more often and/or get your coil cooled down better.... aka make sure you are close enough to your air holes and go all "iron lung" on that thing to make sure enough air is getting to that coil. The other problem could be that your juice is basically cooking on your coil causing the buildup to burn off which is what you are tasting. May be that the juice you use isn't good for that low of resistance a micro coil. Play around with these things and it should help out.

OBE1 is right on Smlexy. Just wanted to add a couple of thoughts. If you put too much cotton in the coil it will choke the wick and restrict juice flow. You might be surprised at how little is required. I make sure when I install the wick it moves easily in the coil. Any resistance at all is too much cotton. Also, I don't roll or compress the cotton that is in the coil. I roll one end only to be able to get it into the coil, but that end is cut off after insertion.

Good luck with it!
