 BSD's vertical hollow core Micro Coil build for ARO, Evod, and Protank heads.

First, I want to give a bid shout out to super_x_drifter and all the contibuters in the mega thread: Micro Coils toincrease Vapor, flavor & TH

I'm not going to go into the how to of building a micro coil, and would direct anyone not familiar with the micro

coil process in general to refer to the above thread.

I set out to come up with a micro coil build that is a VV friendly device. Something that would work well with my

Billet Box, as well as any other VV device including eGo twist etc . Folks, no exaggeration, hype, or humble opinion.This is the holy grail. Seriously, it is that good. If it doesn't work for you, ya didn't build it right lol.

I'm getting a great vape at 4.3 volts. Never a dry hit, no flooding, and the cotton wick after 6 mils looks brand

spanking new with not even a hint of discoloration. Just freaking rocks!

First pic is the ARO head disassembled and the initial micro coil build. 13/14 wrap of 30ga Nichrome using 18ga

blunt needle for the wrap. This makes a 1.8ohm coil. Kanthal would come in right at 2 ohms. Size of wrap isimportant both for overall resistance, airway size and physical length of coil. Mech users can use 28ga

wire, but be sure that the coil length extends from just above the heads positive pin to the top of the

where the wick opening normally is. This must be correct!

Next bend the legs. The short leg will be the positive connection.

Now with the needle in place to assist in alignment, begin the assembly. We want the bottom of the coil just

above where the positive pin will be down in the cup. Coil needs to be in alignment with the air hole of the

positive pin.

Now with the coil in place and centered, bend the legs to prevent the coil from moving out of position when the

grommet and pin are fully inserted. Push the positive pin on in, remove the needle, adjust the coil if needed, andremove the excess legs.

Coil should look like the pics below. Again, bottom of the coil just above the positive pine, and the other endshould be at the same height of the wick opening once the stem is placed. In other words, the height where the

wick hole becomes a straight slot below the v or taper.

Now using several small pieces of cotton ball, stuff the area around the coil. Pack it in tight, not loose! Not theway we'd do it for a cotton wick inside of the coil. Prime till saturated insuring the airway is clear. You should be

able to see cleanly through the coil much like one would do with a filler carto. In fact this works much like a filler

carto only with much much better flavor, and vapor production, and a looser draw.

Problem with this setup is it will shift and short, not enough 'play' with this setup, as 30 is not stiff enough

Hit upon a similar thing after hanging out in the "dragon nano" thread and seeing ITEOs builds. Using it on my

Russian, most intense bottom coil/bottom air vape ever, hands down.

Yeah, don't think that's going to move without a sharp impact... probably not then either.

Nice job BigD

I got it going on a EVOD!!!! great idea! It is the best flavor and vapor I ever had from an EVOD clearo!!! Im having

a little bit of trouble with gurgling and leaking though but I added more cotton and it might be good now. Sweet

mod OP!!!!!!

UPDATE: It is working SWEEEEEEEEEET with the added cotton. Also, I used 10 wraps of 30GA kanthal running 4.2

volts on my EGO twist.

UPDATE 2: After looking at the pics I realized the head wasn't screwed all the way down to the base! Duh!!

Had a bit of that on the first one I made until I went with a slightly larger diameter coil, and packed the cotton in

real good with the blunt needle.

Edit: Just seen the pics. Looks good.

Try a couple of things on your next build. Looks like that's a 1/16" bit. Makes the diameter a bit to wide which iswhy the 10 instead of 14 wraps. The coil should be long enough to extend from just barely above the positive pin

at the bottom, to the same height the top of a horizontal wick would be. So that the cotton packing is just barely

above the coil so juice doesn't pool at the top of the wick and gurgle.

But yeah, once tuned in, this micro coil configuration is off the chain.

Once you get the feel for how much cotton to use for your juice, it works amazingly well. Pack it in tight! Noworries about burning the cotton in this set up.

Tried this set up on one of my gs=h2 bcc's. OMG i have never gotten so much vapor out of that little clearo! I

only have 32g wire atm so i was only able to get about 8 wraps in but it still works and meters out at 2.3 on my

vamo. Was my first try at it and i am sure my next will be a better wrap (i am new to all this).
