The sudden temperature shock can harden the coils, and loosen any remaining gunk. Makes it cleaner and easier to re-wick.

EDIT: I don't do it often...

Why not? If it helps de-gunk?

I always used contact coils in Pro tanks and spaced coils in everything else. Can't remember why, probably I read something in a post once and it worked so I stuck with it.

Recently got a Coil Master. That produces better looking coils than I could make on a drill bit, especially with getting straighter legs on the coil. But they always come out as contact coils. Do you know, or anyone else, if it's possible to make spaced coils on a Coil Master?

Phil Busardo always makes the spaced coils these days. If you watch his more recent building videos, you will see him make the spaced coils the way Eskie explains it. I do it this way too. After you finish your wraps, keep your thumb on the lead to keep it in place, then take needle nosed plyers to pull the other lead outwards a bit, making it a spaced coil.

Would you do the Tank any differently? I have both - I'm not sure I'm crazy about the wicks around the posts (which is how I do it now.) I just don't want the coil to "suffocate"

I tuck them under the coils and leave them a little longer on the tank. kind of make a "fluffy bed" for the two juice hole things to lay on top of.

With an RDA, wicking isn't too much an issue because the coils are dripped on/painted. With an RTA, wicking is tricky... too much wick and the juice won't travel (dry hit), and too little wick can lead to spitback and leaking.

Aye! I was thinking the Boyz were talking about the Origen-16 and the similar RTA. It's a tiny deck and there's not a whole lot of room.

Good explanation! I'm still learning the art of spaced coils

I am talking about the Origen Little/16! The RDA anyway.

With some Lego tires I kept my coil master parts from rolling around and easier to store them without the container. Vape bands make it easier to find the size

I'll have to "borrow" some from my son!

Newer stuff (2 years or less):
  • By-Ka V6
  • Tilemahos V2
  • Phenomenon Lite
  • EVL Reaper
  • SXK Doggystyle
Tried and true (over 2 years)
  • Erlkonigin
  • Squape R(s)
  • Spheroid V3
  • KFL+
  • Hurricane
  • Ubertoot
Get an RTA that has a small airhole under the deck, 1.5 mm or less, small deck and tight short chimney.

The classics:
  • Kayfun light
  • Erlkonigin
  • Squape
  • Rose
  • Spheroid/heron
  • Phenomenon lite
  • A lot more :)
Any of those will produce great flavor w a good juice and a simple kanthal build
Saving these lists for future reference.
None...and that prolly goes back to the ole "no smoking in bed rule" I followed when I smoked.:)
I do have my vape ready for me on the dining room table for when I first get up in the morning.
That's one of the great things about vaping. I sometimes even lay down with one or two set-ups. It turns out I don't toss and turn enough to be a problem.

Question about RDAs: I almost always just use 1 coil. Should I be packing the side I'm not using with wick or is it fine to leave it like this? Adding pic in case anyone wants to comment on the coil. It's not very straight[emoji4]
