Spaced Coils

I saw this video and was wondering if spaced coils have any advantage over normal coils?

It can come down to user preference, but, in my experience, spaced coils have a tendency to gunk less. This allows extra time between rewicking. I can also say I get better flavor from contact coils though. In temp control, I've heard that you must do a spaced coil as contact coils can throw off the readings.

Depends on the juice much more than how the coil is constructed imo.

You put Boba's on any coil and.....

I made some spaced coils and they didn't work as well as contact coils. With contact coils I got more vapor and better flavor with the same juice, but spaced coils may work better in a different RBA and the RBAs design probably has something to do with it as well.

Not a fan either. TC is much less of a vape then power for me.....with any wire. I use spaced coils with Ti in TC mode. That's about it.

One advantage- If your feeling lazy and don't want to bend the legs on your coil's so they fit your post's nicely you can just stretch out the coil
On really hot build's i don't see any difference in contact/non-contact coil's, sometime's if the coil seem's like it's heating the juice to fast you can just open it up so it's not concentrating all the heat into one little area..
