What differences do you noticed between touching and non touching coils?

Can't wait to try a spaced coil. iLife some of you mentioned, I notice the resin on my touching coils and on my wick if I wait an extra day or two before I remove the wick and dry Fire the coil. Even after dry firing coil It still seems like I can't get all the resin off.
I have always used touching coils cause that's all I ever see in videos and I'm a knuckle head follower and don't try different things on my own. I'm very glad to see the information you guys provided and excited to build n vape a slightly spaced coil.

This...played with everything else mentioned. Spaced, compressed and everything in between.
Life's too short : )
When I use twisted kanthal coils, spacing seems to give me better performance and consistency.
I notice nothing as far as the quality of the vape , i also rarely if ever notice a difference between fancy coils and a very basic coil as long as it's wicked correctly.
I find micro gunks easier and harder to dry burn. On low watts it takes longer to heat but can also get too hot so you have to start your drag slow then faster and faster.
I only use them now to get the ohms im after in a tight space.
I find it also can dry hit if your wicking isnt up to scratch as the hottest part is the last to get juice.
Lol silicon, i still use it in some of my stuff, recoiled an off the shelf into my main vape when i went away for a month. I think it only needed 1 dry burn The whole time.
I cant tell the differnce between silicon, cotton, occ but i think mesh tasted best but painful to set up. I have a mix going but cbf doing mesh

I've been a proponent of the push to spaced coils and have banished contact coils as doing nothing but making a hot spot in the middle and creating loads of gunk. Had a few debates, in the past, with the TMC crowd. Lol
Spaced coils are better all around.
The only benifit of a contact coil is if your stuck with low power and you need to make it hotter by creating a hot spot in the middle. In which gunk starts to form as the juice is cooked on top of the coil.

I walked through the valley of fire and came out unscathed. 
You know if you open an old old carto, there's a micro coil in there.. Lol. Nothing special.
I called them out.. Needless to say the tmc crowd doesn't like me very much.

Lol, I'm one of the crazy ones..
It was no big deal. I've put up with a lot more; since I personally introduced rayon wick to the world.. Talk about going round and round with misguided people..

I have tried both Touching and Spaced Coils.
To Me, there Isn't a huge Difference in the Taste of the Hit. The Spaced Coils are maybe Slightly Better tasting. But it Isn't Night and Day.
I don't seem to get Dry Hits as much with Spaced Coils if I Chain Vape. But I don't really Chain Vape much.
What I do find though is even if I start with Spaced Coils, by the Time I have to Rewick the 1st time, the Coils have compressed and are now Touching.
I build with Spaced Coils more because it "Looks Right". But would/could probably have the Same Results if I started with Touching Coils.
