I have 6 gauges at my disposal and settled on 30 gauge for PT heads; it allows for more wraps than 32 (which is great for micro coils) and is sturdier than 32 (so it lasts longer), while 28 gauge takes too long to heat up with regulated devices and requires more wraps (which can be problematic considering how little space there is in a PT head). I order straight from Temco.

For wick, I typically use sterilized cotton from CVS, but I also like cotton yarns and XC-116/XC-132 from RBASupplies, which is ceramic.

I wrap my micro coils on something that just fits in the slots of the PT head...

I like micro coils with 32 gauge and cotton on my toppers. Usually five wraps to give me about 1.8 ohms so the coil is small enough to fit into my Vivi Nova heads without worrying about the coil shorting against the sides of the head. Generally last for months without any problems other than gunking up by what is in the juice.
