I got to try this. I have my did that been sitting around for 3 months cause I don't like SS mesh. I thought it was just my build but I tried other's with the same juice and I still don't like it.

This method works great try boiling cotton balls for like 1 hr then dry them out before using. This gives a cleaner flavor right off the bat.

Intresting, I have burned through the Wire Rope Wick thread and through it all learned the importance of small coil and narrow wick= Efficient vape and flavor.

Trouble with steel-wire rope is mass heat sink robbing energy , draining battery, warming up your hand instead of the juice.
This opens my eyes to integrate the wicking advantages of wire rope and then finishing off the last 1/4" of juice travel to a cotton string with a skinny coil, May be a winner, I just hope it doesn't create a monumental construction project of Government Highway magnitude.:pervy:

Holy crap!

Somebody, somewhere, suggested using the thin blunt needle of a bottle top to wrap a coil, so I gave it a shot with 32 gauge Kanthal wrapped super close...then I broke open an organic cotton round and used that for the wick - not inside the coil, but underneath it. The coil came out beautifully - by far the best that I've ever wrapped, and I put just enough cotton underneath the coil that the coil was resting on top of it. I'm using an A6 RDA, which is pretty small...but the wrap is so tiny that I could easily do dual coil. Hell, I could probably quad my Trident because these coils are so small - I could probably get a quad in the A6 with coils this small (though that would probably be rather silly). Anyway, I didn't bother boiling the cotton; it tasted funky for the first 2 or 3 hits, and now it's beautiful. I've never sub-Ohmed (1.0 is the lowest I've gone on my Provari), so I don't know what that's like, but I've very happy with what's going on...so happy that I'm going to stop typing...and vape...

Two observations:

1) The cotton definitely lets me know when I need to add juice.
2) I let it get too dry just to see what would happen, and I got a serious burnt taste, but after juicing it up, it was fine.

Wow. The "prime" time to get the coil hot is really noticeable. I didn't count the wraps, but I'd guess around 10 wraps measuring out at 2.2 Ohms. The vape is darn near instantaneous every time at 4.5 Volts. I like that. It's not ridiculous plumes of vapor, but satisfying enough.

Lemme try a lung hit...just a sec...okay, too hot for me. I do NOT like hot vapes.

Hmmm...I generally use a larger blunt needle, but this tiny one just rocks...I think it'll be a real winner in a Protank, also, with cotton below and above the coil, but not inside it.

I know that I'm rambling...thinking out loud, so to speak...yeah...I've never done a quad, but I think that I'm going to with the Trident, if for no other reason than because I can. A base of cotton with four coils...I can do that. By the way, Mt. Baker Vapor's "Cinnamon Roll" is what I'm vaping...1.8% 50/50 dated 9/9/13 - the 50ml bottle is finally pretty good after almost a month.

I just took the cap off the A6 and fired it up - I have NEVER seen so much spitting on anything that I've ever built!

So...

Rather than go straight to a quad on the Trident, I used 32 gauge Kanthal and made two coils with 10 wraps each totaling out at 1.3 Ohms. I used Organic Cotton looped underneath both coils. I'm vaping at 4.0 Volts, and it's sputtering like a mother...

It's weird not bothering to put a wick through the coils, but man does this work. One of my coils must be just a tad bit longer than the other because one of them is just a hair slower than the other. I could have easily done four coils on the Trident deck.

The resolution is bad, but here it is...no wick running through the micro-coils:
