Oooohhh, you just pissed of the coil masters.

TW our Bibs may be a veteran around here and all but she is a noob in the build category.... I'm sure the coil masters (aka gods) will be merciful and understanding of the noobie statement! (hoping anyway)

Hell, I'm a noob in the build category and I still know better than to say something like that! She just called them all posers and time wasters. Wow!

Speaking as the guy who made these coils

[TinWhisker]

It never gets old, Don. It never gets old.

The same current goes into the outer wrap, though having such a massive resistance almost nothing reaches the other side. It gets LHO heated. What does it do? OK, have you ever juiced a coil and watched how long it takes to get absorbed? You can't do that with a good fc as it's sucked in instantly, capillary baby! It makes the flavour and vapour more instant and constant while vaping. In just a second the whole coil is immersed in juice, way faster than the cotton alone can deliver. Think of it as a mechanical wick  it's that efficient that it can bump up the maximum power of the coil before dry hit by a good amount!

Dammit gently, you're making me want to try to make FC's again.

[gentlydoingit*]

Do it! 

I wrote that reply straight after your question, forgot to actually hit reply

I sure have the twisted core down pat. It's the stupid outer wind that gets me. I don't have the patience to wind all that wire up. I get to going too fast and it gets hosed up. I also remember that the ones I did make 'successfully' heated up the atty too fast for my liking.

i find it helps if you stick you toung out a bit , but to the left if you stick it out to the rite you get a back wrap .

I am a noob and embrace it. Apologize if my remark offended, because I actually have a wicking questions.

Limitless Plus, single coil, .32 resistance, 25W, juice 80/20. 24 hours after I rewicked, the cotton burned up, bad. Gag nasty. The last time I wicked it, the cotton lasted 4 or 5 days. So here's my totally noob question, what makes cotton burn up so fast? How do I avoid it? Thank you for sharing your guru build experience.
