Well, it doesn't have to be a dual coil. For the past month I've been rebuilding them as BVCs and they're pretty easy to do. But although this works fine on the nautilus coil heads it was given me gurgling and flooding problems on the Kanger heads.
Today I tried a single horizontal miro coil - 29 AWG Kanthal, 9 wraps on a 2mm bit. It gave me 1.8ohms which is the sweet spot on my iTaste 2. I wicked it with organic cotton with a tiny roll of cotton on top as a flavour wick. No gurgling, no spitting - just perfect. And this has the added advantage that I can now just change the cotton when it gets tired or I want to change flavour.
BTW one other trick I have is re-inserting the top pipe which is always a hassle. I do it in reverse sort of. I place the pipe in the chimney and screw the base in. The pipe finds its perfect setting all of its own accord.
The whole operation takes less than 10 minutes start to finish - and the coils have much better flavour than the silica stock ones. I've been happily tootle puffing all evening.
