Oh, the joys of living in the sticks!I just got the SVD, just waiting for the batteries

OK so this coil is working ok, but not quite right. Quick recap: 28g Kanthal, 8 wraps around a 2.4mm drill bit with cotton wick. Comes out at 1.8?.
Questions regarding the coil build itself....
1. The excess tank is catching a drop or 2 of liquid per fill, how can this be reduced?
2. What do I need to do to get the coil to fire up quicker?
3. I know these juices have more flavour, how do I find it? The higher I set the power on the SVD the more I lose flavour.
4. Went through a full tank of juice last night, this coil is too thirsty, I usually don't use that much in a whole day, maybe I'm enjoying this thing too much

That sounds about right. Using a thinner ID or lower gauge kanthal will get this down lower, even when using more wraps.

My opinion, don't worry about that, it happens occasionally and if it's only a drop or two you won't miss it that much.
2. What do I need to do to get the coil to fire up quicker?
Lower the resistance by using thinker kanthal but most importantly, use a thinner ID.
3. I know these juices have more flavour, how do I find it? The higher I set the power on the SVD the more I lose flavour.
Getting the temperature of your coil up by using above mentioned means will sort you out there.

The Kayfun is a very thirsty device. Increased juice consumption is to be expected. Note that the lower you go in resistance the quicker the coil vaporizes your juice. Larger coil surface area also increases consumption.
Peace!

Thanks @Reinvanhardt will give your suggestions a try, I haven't been able to get to the PO yet so all I have right now is 28g wire, will try a 2mm ID with 8 wraps next... small steps
Or be bold and go 1.5 mm ID. 28 g should be perfect.Thanks @Reinvanhardt will give your suggestions a try, I haven't been able to get to the PO yet so all I have right now is 28g wire, will try a 2mm ID with 8 wraps next... small steps
I'll get there
Just checked, I have no 1.5mm drill bits left but just measured a tattoo needle at 1.5mm What do you reckon? 9, 10 wraps?

I would go for 7, 8 wraps
but the point is to experiment. Find your sweet spot!I would go for 7, 8 wraps
Totally agree, thats kinda why I wanted this setup so badly.... I like the idea of messing around with all this, RipTrippers makes it look so easy.... I mean, how hard could it be
Itching to try a chimney build....

Check it. This was still early days, definitely gonna try this again. I had too many issues with that particular Kayfun.

ok, wrapped some 28g around the tattoo needle, ID1.5, works out to 1.2 ohms... I think there are 8 wraps, I can't remember exactly because my head is still spinning 
Huge clouds, even at the SVD's lowest power setting (6.0w)
I like it, I like it a lot

eish, was in a hurry...... now I can't even focus, nevermind trying to take a pic of such a tiny little thingie
I'll open it up soon, didn't put too much juice in there...... {puff puff pufff}
*hic*
Looks good. How is the flavour now?
Weird. Could be that you are not a cotton guy. Presume you did give it a good bath beforehand.Thanks
Flavour is still ... meh
Great photos @crack2483
A lot of wraps for 0.8 ohms. What wire are you using?

So after a week of dripping, let me try this again and see how long before it leaks... .
