Sorry its gone a bit of track
I dont have any coiling equipment at the moment, Ive only just started rewicking with unicoils. The other coils I have are the original Kangers ones, that I am finding more difficult to rewick than the unicoils.

Ive got this KoGenDoh cotton, like rednec mentioned.
Ive just been cutting along the side of the square, going with the grain, maybe about 0.4cm in width and find i get 2 wicks from each strip I cut off, though I do cut quite a bit off on either end of each wick.

Hoping that made sense

Im put off the idea of coiling as it used to involve a blow torch, but i saw some videos where it was simply putting wires into holes and screwing down, Ive got shaky hands though so its all a pain, if Kanger hadnt brought out these new coils they would still have a customer, the new ones I stuck with for most of the last 6 months, but they are randomly sh!te.

Do appreciate the help, sorry Im not explaining well enough.

See I was thinking that soaking the cotton in a little juice would make it easier to flatten down. But yeah it did blow up when I tried
What about the idea of making a larger coil diameter, would that just use up more battery power for the same volt setting, or would there be other issues?

Ive also read people are tearing off the "front and back" parts of their Ko Gen Doh cotton, which I hadnt been doing, so I can see how that attributes to it being too thick too, its just I find tearing off either side reduces whats left to a fuzzy mess

Before I ask about this I should just say I do have slight arthritis and rubbish eyesight

In regard to rewicking, there seems to be some who feel the bigger the better and others who think it shouldnt be too big.

The problem for me is that I cant figure out how people are getting such big fluffy "ears" on either side, Im having to roll and roll the cotton in order to thread it through the coil, this results in a kind of miserable pointy thing on either side, trying to fluff up afterwards has no effect.
Ive watched a few videos but Im still not sure what Im doing wrong.

Ive started using koh gen do cotton, but still have the same problems.

The other thing Ive not seen mentioned anywhere is actually putting some juice on the cotton, before putting through the coil, Ive found this helps roll it into a narrow enough "tube" type shape for getting it through, but obviously this leads to the same pointy ends on either side of the coil. Is this the reason people dont recommend putting juice on pre-wicking or does it cause problems for the coils too?

I was thinking about building my own coils, as I could make the coil diameter wider than on the unicoil or kanger originals and therefore easier to wick. Ive found some formulas about the diameter and the volts etc but nothing that clearly states what are the advantages or disadvantages of having a wider coil. Im obviously just looking to make it easier to thread the cotton through, nothing else. (I dont sub:D )
Im just not sure if widening the coil has a negative effect on performance etc?

thanks for any help offered

#Just to say I found this thread searching for "eleaf atomiser" or "istick atomiser" not sure which one, but after posting I found another thread in the search list suggesting to put the silicon ring on the 510 thread at the base f the Aerotank. This has resulted in a reasonanly solid structure. By that I mean no more wobbles, but still the odd Atomiser short message and its still reding the 1.8 ohms as 1.9ohms.
But still an improvemnt. Meant to comeback, but was watching footy on laptop and everything was going so slow -need to get a new pc

Found this video on Youtube abot different cottons, its 47minuts ffs! So I only have way through it. I would say skip to 20minutes in where he starts to talk about the different flavours from each type of cotton.

Scratch that for 5 minutes he just seems to be burning them all So skip to 25minutes

ah! I had to google a picture of the Eleaf to see what you mean. The adaptor in the eleaf, must of came with it, its like Thatcher though - not for turning

I cant remember putting the adaptor in, when I got it.
Its so solid, I had thought it was part of the unit lol.

I will wait for my Aspire Nautilus to jam up and on next trip to garden shed, take the ELeaf with me, for an introduction to the Vice
