general coils question

[Deleted]

OK, I have to ask.. Why are micro coils better than the other loose coiled ones?

[decoy]

i think its more surface aria in contact with the wick

That ^^^
Plus... they heat more consistently. The big attraction for me is that, once built, they can be left in place and just have the cotton pulled out and replaced. Much less faff than making & installing a new coil every time

Need an atty big enough to thread an inch wide wick through ....

[decoy]

or use spear coil wire to pull it throw

[geordie_vaper]

easier to build, pretty much everything is better about micro coils and cotton they any other coil me thinks

They are great with Protank heads.

1st: It's all i can use
2nd: Less faffing around
3rd: Got a baby so the cotton has two uses
4th: Im a lazy bugger now and microcoils are made for lazy buggers like me
5th: It's why i don't use drippers, they require me moving

Number 3 is a bit much wasting good CW on a baby

The vaping satisfaction one gets after ones build whether its micro macro nano or dual coil. Plenty of options to improve ones vaping performance.

So what's the actual difference between a micro/macro/nano coil?

lairey Not too sure, but I would hazard a guess it's Size going by the titles.

I think you're probably right charon  I'm just curious, is there a line between them, so 1mm diameter either way makes a difference?  ???

Like I said, not to sure myself, but for the perfectionists it is probable a hanging offence!!

I don't make nano coils but i think the more coverage with wire on the cotton the better and with nano coils you can use thicker wire and still keep a reasonable ohm coil.
