What are the advantages of vertical coils

For dripping, it absorbs the drops a bit better when dropped from above rather than soaking from below. It also allows more coils in a smaller space for unique coil builds. IMO it leads to off flavors because I am not terribly careful about uniform saturation and one side of my coil (wick) always darkens faster than the other. Last I used vertical coils was in a 3 post atty and I wanted quad coils. People that use gennies usually build vertical coils allowing the wick to go down the hole. Hope this helps.
Like twistedthrottle said, I had to go vertical in my Aromamizer to get a coil of any diecent size in there. 2.5mm coils leave alot to be desired in the wick department. Horizontally I could get 5/6 wraps of fused 26/36, 2.5mm. Vertically I could get 7, 3mm.
It sucked.

It also depends on how you wick the build if you wrap the coil with cotton down to the deck you create a chimney coil that operates like an Atlantis and then if you wick it through the coil it operates the same as a horizontal but you have to be careful because now you only have juice being pulled through one end of the coil so it is prone to more dry hits.
The last time I built one was so that the coil was aligned with the airholes on a Mutation X. Verticals can also be used with bottom airflow like the Kennedy, or in tanks like the Serpent Mini or the Subtank so the air passes through the center of the coil rather that the wicking.
