  1. I worked with different cotton, the name brand above is nice, but scientically, its nothing special. I just rebuilt one of those for a friend. Are you wicking the cotton then pulling it through those two holes on either side that allow juice to flow into the coil 'housing' so to speak? Cuase first run i did and u actually have to just but the end of the cotton up to those holes.... 

  2. Disclaimer: Dont mess with thick gage wire, sub ohm builds if you dont understand battery safety and are new to vaping. 

    Summarized question: Why not build coils above 3-4mm inner diameter? 

    The story

    "My excursion through the coil building waters."

    By: TheChef 

    I understand the ballance. A large id will not allow as many wraps, thus surface area, and a small id will not allow wick saturation. Thicker gage wire can be wraped more, thus more surface area at a given sub ohm.-The art of coil building at its best. One adventurous day,  I walked into a vape shop and grabbed some 20 gage wire and made a single coil with a diameter im not even going to mention, lets just say it was above 4mm to say the least. 6 wraps 20gage kanthal clocked in around .4 i believe it was coulda been even more. The cotton wick was so thick it took a few ml just to prime. Not knowing what to expect, i was welcomed to new flavors i never tasted, a thick saturated enjoyable vape. 2 vape hits the rooms air composition was like a vape shop.and, after a little session, the single 18650(yes, i already know im insane) regulated mod was getting nice hot, (read disclaimer above)the few months iv been building iv done it all from thin gage to thick, alien, twisted, i picked it up quickly.
