Hey, it varies depending on taste for silica wick vs cotton, nichrome vs kanthal and ohm's on coil relating mainly to power available from battery. 3mm silica with 32 gauge (0.20) 5 wraps for around 2.5ohm, or 30 gauge kanthal (0.25) for less ohms with 5 wraps. Could maybe squeeze 6. This set up doesn't use the flavour wicks on top. Easier to clean. Lower diameter wick 2mm-2.5mm can use 1mm wicks on top. Have you cleaned your coils and torched your wicks... Best to keep around 10 in rotation. I shop online cause my options are few.

The 32 ga. kanthal (Temco seems like the best) works best in the PT II's for me. I use a 1/16 drill bit to wrap on and Peaches and Cream cotton yarn(walmart has it) for wick. The yarn is 4 strands twisted together, just use 2 of the strands. Too much and it will choke it off and dry hit like crazy!! Watch some of Riptrippers videos on just how to build. For a really tight coil, go to Hobby Lobby and get an Artistic Wire Coil Gizmo, costs about $7 with their 40% off coupon from their website. Get ready for a MAJOR improvement in flavor and vapor!!
