"ugly Coil"

[johan]

Fool around with an "Ugly Coil" as someone on ECF referred to on the RM2. 4 and 1/2 wraps 26G Kanthal A1, 2mm I.D and resulted in a 0.6 Ohm coil. Wicked with cotton (did shorten the wick ends after "wetting" the cotton with e-liquid). Enormous clouds and very nice and warm throat hit, but the flavour was severely compromised. Lowered the coil almost onto the ceramic deck, but flavour didn't improve. I'll keep to micro coils using 28G Kanthal.

I used 5 Pawns Queenside as well as Grandmaster and just to verify the muted flavour; VM's Legend Dean mixed 80: 20 with VM's custom Coffee.

Nice coil for when you are in a hurry! Still want to get my paws on some pawns but it will have to wait. My whole budget spent on Witchers. Love seeing all the coils @johan inspiration to try new ones myself.

Try that coil on 3 mm silica doubled over.

I will do, never thought that silica might beat cotton on flavour?

On that type of coil it just might.

Those ugly coils have merit to them, try 3 x 2mm Silica/ Ekowool doubled over. Essentially giving you 6mm of wick with 4 wraps 28g wire. Now that is a juicy puppy and produces awesome clouds and flavour on a dripper.

Edit: I need to correct my statement - 3 x 2mm doubled over gives you 12mm of wicking material!

Thanks will try, @Matthee suggested something similar. There must be merit in it as there are quite a "fan group" on ugly coils on ECF.
