What size micrcoil ID do use use for that yarn ?

I have basically watched all the videos and bought everything that has been stated to buy - i wrap the 0.25 kanthal around a 1.5 or 2mm drill bit then i thread the cotton i listed above through it and even tried it on my kayfun 3.1 and all i get id burnt cotton taste - am seriously thinking of giving up building coils as i have done about 14 now and had one that was any good

even my silica wicks with 1.5mm 6 wraps kanthal just gurgle and flood after about a hour

I was asking purple regarding the cotton yarn above, the stuff you quoted from the mesh company states it doesn't wick as well as normal cotton so that may be your issue.

Greg I use a reverse star Alan key set , bugger I actually can't see the mm , I use 28awg and that wick threads through with enough space, even when it's juiced up ( after use) it still pulls out easily and even on my 0.7ohm coils it's never yet burnt out.

intheblim I've just had a look at that cotton your using and I really think it's why your getting issues.

Get yourself some cotton balls , just make sure they are none scented etc and try that .

I use cotton wool from the supermarket but sent my wife out to get me some cotton yarn and she came back with this:



It cost around £3, it's 4ply about 1.75mm Dia. I wick a 2mm coil like this but strip a couple of ply out in the smaller coils I use.





Used it in a Spheroid and Sophia, it works well and is easy to assemble, but I think the cotton wool just edges it on flavour.

Ok so i got some basic cotton wool balls from sainsburys and so far so good
