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!!
