is there a certain period that the cotton must wear in before it comes right LOL
coz yesterday on my home i cranked the svd up to 12W, and it was AWESOME
no burnt taste at all

@Riaz I don't think that there is a wear in period on cotton, not in my experience on the Kayfun at least. Just wick, fill, let stand for 5 mins or so and vape away.
I only have enough cotton to run down the sides of the coil block to touch the coil base. Anymore than that and it gurgles and floods.

this crapberry of mine cant take a decent pic of my coil.
i use about the same amount of cotton as you have @thekeeperza

I generally do the Kayfun first and then wrap an EVOD coil for the missus. By that time it is ready.
i noticed something weird now.
when i lay the svd on its side for a while and then pick up to vape- no burnt taste at all
when it stands up for a while and i pick up to vape- bad burnt taste for the first 3-4 pulls
could it be a wick issue that the juice isnt flowing through when it stands up?
Coil position on the IGO-L - Throat hit versus Flavour
Ok, thanks to @Matthee, I have worked out the ideal coil position for me on the IGO-L
Hopefully my findings and the photos will help others.
1.3 ohm coil
- 28g Kanthal
- 8 wraps
- ID about 1.5mm
Here is my coil:
Nothing fancy, but notice that I made the tails longer so that I could get the coil nearer to the edge (ie. near to the airhole, when the cap is put on)
Now here is the thing I found. If you position the coil lower down, you get more flavour. Higher up and you get more throat hit. I was amazed at just how much difference it makes if you move it up or down even very slightly. To move it, even after you've installed and wicked it, you can gently use tweezers.
Here is the position for more FLAVOUR - coil is lower down
In the case of the IGO-L, you can't touch the deck since the coil will short out. But the lower you go, you end up closer to the airhole. The flavour is amazing here. The juice I was using was Five Pawns Bowden's Mate. The throat hit in this position is much less.
Here is the position for more THROAT HIT - coil is higher up
In this picture, the coil is slightly higher than the posts. Whoa boy! This position thumps the throat! Amazing stuff. I cannot believe the difference a few millimetres makes. I found this to be the ideal position for me for the occasional drip session. I like to knock myself out when I drip. Flavour is still very good - it is a dripper after all
Thanks to @Matthee, for helping me along. I felt I had to share this with all of you. I think similar principles should apply to other devices.
Time for another puff....

Dual coil on RM 2.1. Boom!
Love it!!!!
28g came to 0.65 ohm.

That is one classy coil.. looks damn awesome man.. well done, neat and tidy and I am sure it must vape like a beast
Thanks brother. I does vape like a beast. I love it.
Testing the limits hey! I thought, but that is just one coil. Then I noticed the two wires going into the post hole. Very expertly done. Must try that - you just twist 2 parallel wires together?
Hehehe. Yes, just make 2 wires parallel with each other and wrap like a normal coil. Not alot of plumes, but the TH is awesome!
O, and thank you so much for putting me on the path to the Reo. I will not look back. You will not understand how much it changed my view of vaping. Thanks @Matthee ! You are a legend in my eyes!
Profound! Wow
Epic coil! Didn't see the second coil either initially.
Protank3 rebuild.
First coil ever.
