What's your preferred/best performing coil build + atty combination?

Love this .8ohm dual coil with organic cotton. Not the best pic but nothing you haven't seen before.

30 gage, 6 wraps per side on a Helios rda using a 2mm precision bit.

RM2 with air hole opened to my liking and post holes opened up (embarrassed to say I don't remember sizes), 1.35mm ID 5 or 6 wrap MM (.6mmX.07mm Kqnthal ribbon twisted till it folds then 3 of those back twisted till interlocked) touching .7 or .8ohm, Koh Gen Do cotton, sometimes lung sometimes mouth to lung. My Grand has fuse mod and brass firing pin. Like DIY sweet flavors and fruity flavors.

I've pretty much settled in on .95 to 1 ohm coils. Using the Wire Gizmo and 1.5 mm mandril. 7 wraps 28 guage Kanthal spaced coils and 2mm ready-wick threaded into the coils on RM2 with 1/16" air hole. This setup is working perfect for all my juices and I don't see the need to experiment with coils or change anything for quite a while.

I can do this build with my eyes closed, well almost, consistently. Then mount it 2 to 3 mm off the deck right in front of the air hole and it vapes great. Put the same coil in my Cyclone AFC and it too is working perfectly.

Took me experimenting with different builds over a few weeks to settle here. Now I'm a happy camper.

Why spaced coils ...??

My (and my wife's) preferred setup is an RM2 with microcoil - 8 turns of 30 gauge Kanthal wound on a 1/16" drill bit for 1.7 ohms, and a cotton wick. I also like the Cyclone without AFC, and the Igo-bf from Reosmods, with the same coil. If you are coming from a Kanger PT this might be a good place to start from to ease into the rba's.

For me spaced coils seem to have a little more flavor and hold a little more juice. But they are harder to wrap a consistent coil with.

I agree! Escpecially with the xc wick! You need not leave alot of space just a little. Kind of a hybrid microcoil. Small tight wraps but just a little space .After I build I give a good squonk and you can see the juice soaking into the ceramic wick between the wraps and stays there. Hit the button then ...clouds!

Wonder if the same would apply with cotton or bamboo?

I've been playing with parallel single coils on my RM2 and I am loving it. I can get a wider contact coil with lower resistance so my cotton wick can be a bit thicker and hold more juice.
