I'd probably start with the 24G 0.5mm stuff and get the hang of it first, you can do quite a lot with it. What sort of batteries have you got? And what atty?

How have you got the kraken setup as an auto dripper

Couple of coils, wicked with enough cotton to go into the tank but not sit in the juice then you tip it once in a while to resoak the wicks.

If you start wrapping sub ohm coils you're gonna need to start dripping.
With my own experience nothing can wick quick enough to stop you getting them dey hits..

And wire cotton they actually hurt

this way or with 2 coils

Just found some great big rolls of cutting wire at work, 0.6, 0.7 & 0.8mm. Ideal!!

[crin766]

So I've made a few to try. I'm going to start with duel, 1.7 Ohm coils made with four twisted strands of 0.28mm Kanthal. They're 9 wraps so nice amount of surface area. The first atempt was with only two strands but 5 wraps of my 3.5mm bit were under the 1.5 Ohms I was going for.

Does this sound good to you guys or would the smaller ones be better?

I also made a few with the 0.6mm cutting wire, no idea what it's made of, but they range from 0.5 to 0.8 so I'll try a single coil next.

0.6mm cutting wire? Is that the braided steel? Rust hazard?

[Marcus]

I would strongly suggest not to use random wire buddy.

Vape mesh Company sell every gauge you could ever want for around a £1 per 10mtr spool.

Grab yourself a selection of different gauge wire and wrap coils till you have blisters on your fingers
But definitely don't use random wire...

It's for heat cutting so it's probably ok. Anyway got home and found that the wick holes are just under 3mm possibly smaller so had to bodge it. Ended up with 4 x 2.5 mm wraps and its a bit nasty.

got monkey jizz in there unsteeped. Not getting dry hits - it's seriously strong but not alot of vapour. Any ideas?

[Marcus]

Your not gonna be able to get clouds from a Genesis really.
Airflow is just as important as your coil when your wanting to go sub ohm.
Could be dodgy coil, poor wicking and just not enough airflow..

Any one of these things will affect the vapour production

After trying every conceivable microcoil set up, I can say this is the best. I used 4 twisted strands of .28 Kanthal and it's a beast. When I went much lower it was spitting juice out the air holes but this works great. Really brings out the creamy taste in my butterscotch. Can't wait to get my money jizz in there!
