looking forward to the response here, wouldn't mind trying out on my billow v2 too if it works. more concerned about putting the cap back on without shorting.
Nice to see vert builds, they are more difficult to pull off in tanks for sure.
I did one in my KFL+ last year and it was very cool. A pain to wick though. I moved on to other tanks since then and I put horizontal coils in them.
Something I did was pre-bend wire legs and try to get them as short as possible to the corresponding post. This should be a lot easier with the post design in these newer tanks, most posts are offset in height which helps. Sometimes you can get the coil mandrel inside the air hole to help stabilize the whole deal.
I did what Macis did for wicking, using strips of wick. KGD cotton works well for this since it's already rectangular. I would put a drop of liquid on the coil then lay the wick, then add more liquid after that. There is a point where too much wick can be used.
Have fun! Looking forward to pics

Old thread, good info.
