That's what I'm using right now in my trident v1 on an m16 clone.. It's probably my favorite type of coil right now. Easy to rewick and it's "chuckin the vapor".

That's an insanely small coil. Wow. It definitely does produce an absurd amount of vapor, but knowing me, I would fail miserably at it 
AWG28 is 0.321mm
Insanely small.
I see an interesting behaviour of these small coils. They seem to blow vapour out rather than just produce it in a cloud like the bigger wicked ones do. Making the coil smaller seems to enhance the effect.
It should be a femto-coil of course, and the next one down would be the pico-coil.

Rurwin, I haven't tried my hand at these 'femto' coils - haha - but what is the distinction between "blowing vapour" and "producing a cloud of vapour"?
Not being facetious, just genuinely curious.
Both the dragon coil and this one produce a well-defined stream of vapour out of the mouth of the coil. A standard coil wrapped on the wick produces vapour from all around it in a cloud. That must mean that there is an air current entering one end of the coil and exiting the other, generated solely by the coil itself. Whereas in a standard coil the only air current is that produced by the user.
The air current is probably caused by the coil warming the air, in which case it would work better the higher the coil was angled upward.

Interesting - I'll have to give this kind of wrap a go and see if I get those results.
I wonder if there are practical benefits of this kind of vapour production: shorter draw times? less performance-dependent upon airflow (user-generated or otherwise)?

I also have been really digging "nano" coils lately. I have been using a 1.17mm diameter sewing needle to wrap coils on. My latest coil is 1.0 ohm with 6 wraps of 30 gauge kanthal in my Igo-W singe coil. I played around with a "bed of cotton" under the coil, but have much better results with just a small cotton wick thru the coil. It produces nice thick tasty clouds of vape!!
Short lung hits with better flavor. The downside is that they really burn up juice.
I built one of these coils with 30 gauge. It was way too hot for me. I just got some 28 in the mail yesterday. I might give it another go.
I use MBV. Half the price of everyone else...took me a few tries to find some juices that I really love though. They have a raspberry mocha and pear juice that are solid.
You know, I've tried builds like this several times, and whenever I have, the coils just cook on top if I don't wrap them with cotton. Maybe I should tinker some more.
I know you've joking, but just for the laugh...
100 watts at 100 volts means 100 ohms, and I have a feeling that it is significantly higher when the filament is not white-hot.
A brake-light is about 30 watts at 12 volts making 4 ohms, and the only available tungsten headlight bulbs are only 45W. At 6V (8 or 11W) that might be marginally useable.
Flashlight bulbs are the right voltage, but less than 1 amp.
If you looked hard enough you might be able to find one that worked, but they are generally too high resistance to be any use in an atomiser. And of course it is probably too fragile to rewick.

fumes?? maybe when doing TIG welding, but vaping and tungsten wire as a coil, I dont think so. It would melt silica first before tungsten got to a point to release fumes.
I just tried to go 14 wraps on 28ga Kanthol, using 30ga Kanthol, and when I went to light them up to make sure they were glowing correctly the both caught fire and popped. Oopsies.
