crin766 if you do decide to get more wire get the following:

Wick: www.vape-atomizer-mesh.com/products/2mm--2-000-Micron-or-12-AWG--Ekowool-Wick---1-Metre-Length-2425.html (More expensive but worth it)
Wire: www.vape-atomizer-mesh.com/products/kanthal-A1-heat-resistance-wire-020mm-10metre-2373.html
If you have one of these then great: www.28vapeslater.com/18-gauge-needle-blunt-12216-p.asp if not a 1mm drill bit will do

Cut your length of wick and slide the drill bit through the center of the Ekowool (it's hollow) and roll the wick around the drill bit to make it form roundness as Ekowool is flat and then do your wraps with the 0.2 Kanthal.

Do a nice and tightish wrap with the coils close to each other, do five wraps for end result 2.0ohms

p.s Make sure your hands are clean as touching wick with dirty fingers, i.e grease etc etc will stick too the wick

Everytime i try to put something down the middle of my ekowool romelee it pushes the middle section out. I have a large tube of ekowool with a small tube of ekowool in the middle if that makes sense. On 3mm that is.

Thats what mine look like but as said, anymore than 3 turns and im over 3 Ohms. Placed order for .2 and .25 so should be sorted

In this case, sounds like you have a variation of "stuffed" Ecowool..Best solution in this case is...........

Don't push anything through..Seemple

Don't use 3mm Ekowool tbh, it's pretty much useless for Evods etc etc, it's just too thick imo and can cause dry hits due to not enough room,  maybe good for a open air drippers where there is loads of room for wick.

So if using 3mm just wrap without the center method and use a paperclip

Done one with the ecowool and it is slightly better

Finally got round to ordering some wire and wick from vape mesh company - thanks for info and links.....oh ages ago like 2 weeks or summit Super-Shiny .

Been coiling with 0.16 but really fiddly, just tried making a coil with some 0.2 A1 and is so so so much easier.
