Performance wise, a contact/micro coil wins. However, I recently built a spaced coil for use on some gunky liquids, and the longer time between re-wicking has already become very apparent.
With a macro coil I could get one to two tanks before having to re-wick. Currently, I'm on my fourth tank with the spaced coil.
You're way more sophisticated than I am, Willie!
But I have to say I was intrigued when I saw a tutorial about winding tightly spaced kanthal coils on a screw (or was it a bolt of some kind?). Really neat coils. Can't remember where I saw it...
I use a machine screw, and leave it in the coil while mounting it. After its secured, just unscrew the screw from the coil. Leaves the spacing nice and uniform.
Do you happen to know the size of your screw? I'm aiming for a 2-2.4mm coil I.D., which I understand is the perfect size for the Lemo.
This 26awg kanthal was tension wound on a 4-40 machine screw on a diy cigamajig coil winder. ID is 2mm

Now that's a beaut! Do you think it can be done with a pin vise? I don't own a cigamajig winder...
Can we get pictures of this cigamajig? Would love a nice side project
You can find it on Cigatron's blog.

The Force is strong with this one.
Since everyone is trying spaced coils instead of touching coils thought I would try them again.
It did take an extra minute longer getting the coils in the holes instead of under screws though
May I ask? What ma or amp rating was the wall charger that came with your Lemo?
Canno, we are talking (I hope
) about a Lemo rebuildable atomizer, not a battery. It doesn't come with a charger.Wow. I am sorry. I meant Istick. I do apologize.
I am tired, I think I should go to bed.

You can use any wall adapter with your iStick's USB charger--0.5A, 1A, 2A, makes no difference. They will all work just fine.
Good night.
I realize that but 500 ma charger is really slow...........I know I'm in the wrong thread. Good night.
still off topic, but doesn't all the chargers limit themselves to 750mah max during charge? I don't really see how 500mah would be that much slower, that's why I love my mods with exchangable batteries so I don't have to be without the mod while it's charging. With the istick i would have at least two at hand to be safe. haha
