Likewise. And, in my plethora of them, I've had both show up. The silicone does hold up better, stays flexible longer. And are actually easier to work with as well
They're more flexible to start, so easier to reinsert.Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

Not too long ago, I discovered what must have been the problem I had when I started rebuilding those T3S tanks -- apparently they need NR-r-NR type wire, so that the part that goes down thru the grommet doesn't get hot -- I wasn't aware of that when I was using those and starting to rebuild, but it could easily explain why I got so much burnt taste with my rebuilds in those tanks.

You could also use a contact coil, the legs don't get hot then.
Could be esp with the rubber insulators. I will go with the silicone, less stink if I over heat them. And they should last longer as well.
I suspect that with the 32 ga wire the base heatsinks up most of the heat in the wire, but with the 30 ga the mass of the wire is greater and more heat goes into the insulator.
I like the 30 ga better though. Can run a bit higher voltage and get a better vape.
Easier to rewick as well. Especially since I went from 1.6 mm coils to 2 mm coils.
could but it limits my options on wire gauge and resistance and such.
And I really do not want to make up a lead welder....
Just a vapin away on some CAP apple Pie V1 I made up and touched up with some CAP Double Apple,And Vanilla Whipped Cream. Pretty yummy.
No, neither did I. I'm using a 28AWG contact coil in my EVOD at the moment (no burny the insulator either
)

Show us a pic Bwahahahahaha
Details please. Coil diameter, resistance, wicking and how much power/voltage are you running?No, neither did I. I'm using a 28AWG contact coil in my EVOD at the moment (no burny the insulator either
Pic not required.
Would you believe I don't have one on hand ATM?
I shouldn't kid you about the photos but it is fun and I can practice my squinting
I posted it previously ... in part one I believe?
GT said:EVOD: modified to the max
Chimney drilled to 3ø ID
Atty holder wick channels drilled to 2ø
Positive pin drilled to 2ø ID
Positive pin "big end" turned down by 1mm OD
Base air holes (all 3) drilled to 1.4ø
6/7 wrap tensioned contact coil 1.1Ω around a 2ø mandrel
Hollow coffee filter wick
Rayon flavour wick
11.5W, plenty of vapour and throat hit
* 28AWG Nichrome60
Ahh Yes I remember now. Why did you turn down the end of the big end of the center pin?
Airflow around it? And did it help?
I use cotton and no flavor wick.
Yep, for air flow. I believe so; as it is, I have too much but can still M2L
I actually removed the flavour wick, and changed the coffee filter rolled wick to a tea bag rolled wick Thursday, much easier than getting *just* the right amount of cotton into the coil.
I have the cotton thing down pretty well now. NO gurgles, leaks or dry hits.
Had to redo a few at first when I modded my coils though and went to a 2mm coil.
Good luck to you I seem to have just a bit too much, or not quite enough ... not finding a happy medium easily. And I also wanted to try hollow wicks, where the fluid is sitting internally to the coil and see how that went. I wouldn't use them on higher power setups, but then we're not
ETA:
This is the coffee filter wicked EVOD, firstly with a 18g blunt poked through it
Secondly, the wick side on showing it is indeed hollow:
I think to have any great impact, the hollow wick needs to be 3mm or more in diameter precluding the EVOD as the test atty.

So where's all my tootle peeps tonight? It's Friday night y'all, I can't believe everyone's turned in so early. 'Specially you Left-Coasters.

Working tomorrow, so no party here. Should be in bed already. Watching rifle review videos instead.

I'm building some coils, and adding to my Neil Young collection on the 'tube. Just can't believe how dead ECF is tonight.
