Larger coil ID is what I came here to recommend, good advice. Only other advice I have is to try Rayon, I switched over to Rayon about two months ago and it's so much better at cotton for high wattage vaping in my experiences, I have multiple devices currently set up with a .12 build and 3mm coil ID using Rayon wick, it's fantastic.
There is also an app for smart phone called microcoil pro. It does what steam engine does but I like it better

Alrighty, adjusting the I.D. to 2.5mm has made a big difference! I realized I didn't have anything with a 3mm diameter, I'll grab some more bits tomorrow.
Thanks for the suggestion. I used what was left of my twisted 24g, still ohms out at 1.4, but the legs are a lot shorter. No angling needed.
Also used about half the wick I normally do, and it seems to be helping. I can take almost a full lung hit at 150W.
One of the other suggestions I got was trying thinner gauge wire, so I'll be trying triple twist 28g coils next, and report back.
Thank you all for the continued help and advice!

I'll give that a shot!
Some of his stuff looks very interesting.
I like the uniformly round look to his wick rolls.
Ya I couldn't get above roughly 100 watts no matter what I tried then one off the members here told me about it I tried it and haven't looked back since.
Look into vapers choice cotton dude on Facebook reviews it. .... absorbs crazy he drips 40 drops and claims it can hold more , the cotton doesn't burn either he chain vapes the .... out those 40 drops at sub ohms . I got some on the way look it up its cheap worth a try.

Much obliged, Wife!
(My actual lady would kill me if she knew I called another woman that. Shhhh!)
Didnt read all post the 2pages only....
My advice is to large the diametre of coil build from 2mm (i use 3.5/4mm) to 3mm......more cotton more juice...
Pads are very good option and 22gauge is the must....
As mych air your rda got and fill the deck with cotton but....you have to let your coils free....

have you considered going to a wider inner dia on your coils....puts more wick inside the coil and requires fewer wraps....
Yes, that was actually the point of the last build I did, based off previous suggestions here.
I posted pictures of it, with a small explanation.At least the wider diameter was what I aimed for.
I'm hesitant to use fewer wraps, I like my coils with decent surface area. I think 4 may be the lowest I go.

I appreciate the suggestions!
I've been told to try the larger inside diameter by several folks here, but the size of the chamber I'm using wouldn't support much bigger than 3.5 (I'm using 2.5 now), especially if I'm trying to keep the number of wraps on the higher side.
I'm sorry, but I will not fill my deck with cotton. I end up wasting juice that way, and my well is too deep to support a cloud of it under the coils with my current build.
I have not yet tried 22g, but I might have to look for some.
22 gauge was the answer to my high wattage woes. I was ready to throw my mutation x v2 in the woods. I went with simple builds, the best being a single strand, 6 wraps, 2.4mm id. I popped a coil while cleaning them and didn't have anymore 22 on hand. So now I'm trying to adjust to 24 until I get more. Wicking holds up to 80 watts, any higher and it can't keep up. I'm still fiddling with it though.
I hear ya. I'm building on a Mutation as well, with 24g. Anything higher gauge gets too hot too fast for me.
Go through some some of the other suggestions in here, as they all definitely helped me out. You might find some new life in that 24.
As a side note, do you notice any difference in wicking between single and dual coil builds?
Too vague a question, Bjorhyn. If you generate some numbers in SE for both proposed setups, you should be able to answer your own question. ;-)
As the current for a dual parallel coil build is split, it MAY run cooler for a given wattage... but then, you'd not necessarily be using the same, gauge, wattage, resistance - or even wicking materials for both builds.
I have heavy gauge single builds that will consume juice at about the same rate as a thinner gauge dual build, at similar net resistances.
