The micro coil is wrapped around a 1/16 drill bit? We're talking smaller than a toothpick right? I'm thinking about giving it a try tonight!

That's typically what I use, yep. You can also use the toothpick if you want. Go for it!
Be careful though Navy... This is a dangerous activity, that has possible side effects of never being able to go back to anything else 
I use a 16g needle, same thing only different.
Thanks FogHawg, I've got a 18 gauge needle, do you think it is to big?
Not to be annoying or anything but the 18 gauge is smaller than the 16 gauge.
I like to wrap mine around a strand of 32g Kanthal.. after all what else am I gonna do with the ~80' I have left on the roll 
Thanks Baconz, I should have known that! I did read someone saying they used a paperclip? Just trying get an idea of how small this thing is!

OMG Statistic, now I have an idea of how small small is! I've got some thirty two, so if thirty two is smaller than thirty, that's pretty damn small.
Haha Navy, I was kidding
I did wrap around a paperclip once though, when I was trying to achieve wickless vaping

I still like the 32g!
A heavy paperclip is more in the ballpark than a regular sized one, though.

Commie and I tried wickless vaping (nearly simultaneously) and found that it was NASTY

Yeah I was peripherally aware of your efforts. I think you guys were doing that right about the time I was trying to grow out of my vape diapers.
The coil in that pic actually made some legit tasty vapor, but it's a pita to vape, having to hold it just so the coil is touching the juice but not submerged.
I still think wickless vaping is achievable, I'm hard headed, lol.

I go based off what X calls them micro size, 1/16"ish OD (outer diameter). So if you're wraping say 28 awg or thicker around a 1/16" drill bit than that's too big already. I sometimes use a 18 ga needle or music wire. But I also use 16 ga needles too. Size is similar to when I wrap coils using 1mm Ekowool. These coils come in around .08" OD, they work great too as long as they're tightly wound. But they're not true micros, they're what I call minis.
