With mandrel inside the Ekowool, I wrap it tight.
Do you now do it different from your photo tutorial, other than the size of the Ekowool and mandrel? For the coil in you tutorial is more micro coil (touching wraps) than ugly coil (spaced wraps) for me.
I do it this exact way too. and after removing the mandrel she loosens up just right. It works for me, because like Rob, my OCD kicks in with anything that looks ugly in a coil
The micro coil photo's was just an illustration that micro coil is possible with Ekowool. I went back to ugly coil as for my personal taste it outperforms the micro coil in flavour as well as wicking. The procedure for ugly coil is exactly the same apart from heating and squeezing the coil.
That could cause some very unlady-like language
I have not touched cotton for a few months now. Tried various combinations with the Ekowool, but prefer @johan's way of doing it - with touching wraps. Have also tried micro coils (1.5 mm ID, 27 g, 0.6 to 0.9 ohms) with Rayon and I like it. But my best coil/wick setup is the dual micro coils (1.6 mm ID, 27 g, 0.45 ohms) wicked with ceramic on the Cyclone atomizer with AFC. This setup below is now around 68 days old and still going strong.
I use ekoowool with ribbon wire.
2 current setups based juice (only got 1 rm2 so need to recoil when changing type of juices - waiting for another 1 from VM)
For tobacco juices i use 0.9x0,1 ribbon kanthal on 2x2mm ekowool. Use a needle between the 2 pieces ekowool and wrap tightly. Comes out to between 0.8 and 0.9 ohms.
For fruit juices i use 0.6x0,1 ribbon kanthal on 1x2mm ekowool. Use a needle through the centre of the ekowool.
Picture of the 0.9x0,1 ribbon kanthal on 2x2mm ekowool. I spaced out the coils after this pic.

Think that's part of my problem.
I think I'm wrapping them too tight.
They tend to just fray under the coil.

Ah, that is one I have not tried yet - twisted Kanthal ugly coil on the Ekowool. Twisted wire could also help prevent the fraying, @MurderDoll.
How do you clean it, under running hot water?
I found that if you have the quality ekowool you can torch the **** out of it until it becomes very firm,then pierce the middle of the length with a fine paper clip and lay the two pieces of ekowool alongside the paper clip and wrap it, then trim it after its wrapped.
Yes I hold the reomiser with some kitchen tongs and pour boiling water from a kettle over the wick ,quick scrub with an old toothbrush and rinse again.
I'm not sure what the quality is like.
I bought it from VapeClub.
Maybe someone else that's used that ekowool can comment as well?
That it a very good tip. The mandrel for me was a pita to hold steady between two threads of Ekowool - your way will help in that regard. Something like this:
my sweet spot set up
1.5mm id micro coil with silica , i find that i get more toots then with cotton

... what is a pita? Am on a search for a mandrel that provides a similar id as a paperclip but is more solid and easier to grip.I need a new dictionary... what is a pita? Am on a search for a mandrel that provides a similar id as a paperclip but is more solid and easier to grip.
Pita = "difficult to do" / Go to local engineering shop and ask for thin stainless steel wire they use for spark erosion and or tick welding.
Lol, that is forum talk for you, but you must get the sense from it......pain in the behind. Do not have an answer to your real question, I just use a thin drill bit, which is no easier to hold - maybe visit a hardware shop for inspiration.I need a new dictionary
Feel a bit stupid now... PITA. .
I am a forum virgin so forgive me for this and on advance for any future dumb questions.Hmmm my husband welds. Back to the abyss I go. Could it be that soft wiry looking stuff on a reel?
Stainless steel on reel yes, but not soft, harder than a paper clip.
Damn.. only quite thick solder in "The Abyss' (garage). On a positive note though I did count about 400 unused power tools!!! No more giving me a hard time about spending on vape gear - At least I use it.
