Not an expert Catt.
However, the 1/16th thing is correct. The 32 ga...idk if ga matters or not. Usually they are heavier (lower #) ga. But I don't think they HAVE to be.
The other thing is that they do as follows:
They wrap the coil, make it hot...more or less a dry burn, and let off the button and squeeze the coils together until they touch. So with a micro-coil, the coils are tight. They let off the button when they squeeze them together to avoid making shorts while doing it. It basically makes a long narrow "heat tube". I'm betting there's micro-gaps for vapor anyway

Otherwise you'd only get vapor out the ends (maybe flowing out due to vaporization pressure).
The thing with them is I fry cotton when I try it...it burns in the center due to the heat. So IDK.....
Some of this is per dusty. See posts here:

ETA: IDK how many loops "qualifies". Probably one of those raging debates.....
