I've heard ultrafire are crap, never tried them myself though. The Efest ones I had for around 6 months don't hold their charge now so I now use AW IMR's.
The 32AWG (0.2mm) is probably best to keep for when you want to dual coil - the thinner the wire (or higher the Guage/AWG number), the higher the resistance. I included it for multiple coils as you divide the total resistance by however many coils you have (provided they're identical).
If you're after 1.8ohm , I'd try 10-12 turns of the 28AWG (0.3mm). It's a little springer, but a good flame will fix that and make it easier to handle, plus the MicroCoil itself is a little less fragile when squeezing the turns so they touch. Once you've got a tight, touching coil, pop it back on the bolt to keep it together and connect to the +ve & -ve points, remove the bolt, then check resistance before you fire it.
Keep an eye out for small crackles/hotspots as you pulse the power, it should sort itself out quite happily if it's nicely wrapped. Reinsert the bolt if it needs any fiddling to keep it tidy.
You're looking for a coil that looks like a miniature Slinky, that glows from the middle first, to the outer ends.
Once you're happy, let it cool a few seconds then insert the cotton - you only need enough to make sure the entire inside of the coil is "touching cloth" (sorry!), prime with juice and enjoy.
Don't let the cotton dry burn or it'll need replacing.
A decent coil will last weeks - just dry burn between cotton changes and blow/wipe any crud off with a cotton bud.
Happy Vaping mate!

Not quoted for me but cheers for the heads up as it is what I was also looking for and a decent price.
If you didn't know, all the 30mls on JJ are bogof but they only mention on twitter and so on, it doesn't say on the site.
So 10ml is dirt cheap if you want to try it but if you order a 30ml you'll get 2

Got my Sig 19 last week. Have taken the magnet out and put a brass flat topped screw where it was to take up the gap, stopped the misfires with a bit of wire, and it's awesome, really like it.
Also totally in love with the IGO-W, I was struggling with the AGA-T2 for a bit but mostly have the hang of it, with silica at least, but I'm really liking the dripper for at home. I actually used it for work the other day as well. Few drips is enough for a 'cigarette break'.

Done all that but still comes out pretty high...ill try with 5 coils and take it from there.
(oops - missed this)
And you're welcome - thank You for your patience and willingness to give my Kit a go. There's enough wire & Cotton there for plenty of practice runs, plus at least 2 of the different sizes of bolt so you can attempt multiple coils if you choose.
If all goes to pot, the 0.3 & 0.4mm Ribbon Wire is really easy to use and hotspots are rare!

Cheers Red, used the 28AWG kanthal, wrapped 12 times and boom 1.8ohms..thanks for the tip. Now to insert a cotton wick in there lol.
Well, I ordered 2, then emailed to let them know that whilst I appreciated the automated message telling me that they're back in stock, doing so 38 times in 2 hours was bordering on harassment. In the time it took to politely inform them of the issue, 5 more emails were sent...
So then I asked if they could sort their system out or I'd consider cancelling a considerable order (I have friends in Bangkok who are after a fair few high end mods - Misters, Cobras and Semovar gear mainly - and since Sterling is pretty strong at the moment, it works out cheaper for them than buying directly) I'd yet to press "Go" on...
The response was a smunty, sarcastic "the error was due to YOU typing a zero instead of an O... give us the reference number for this considerable order and we'll cancel it for you"...
Suffice to say that's the last time I'll buy anything from www.smokecloud.co.uk - they're clearly doing so incredibly well in this economic climate that they can afford to turn business away.
I'll see if Mister fancy selling directly
Easy when you know how!
Just give the cotton a few moments to absorb the juice, then add a couple more drops and enjoy. I really hope it's been worth the wait
Oh wow oh ****ing wow, just did my first micro coil and im in vaping heaven...holy mother of jesus, words cant describe just how brilliant the micro coil is.
Just put some rapsberry juice and bam what a hit and what a flavour
. Damn microcoil is now the only way im gonna coil my KFL lol.
Thank you Red for making that kit for me, bloody awesome

personal preference but I'd like to go 1.5ohms or lower, it heats up the coil much faster.
managed to snatch the nemmy clone of my brother and took some pics.
Just need to get him some more drippers and that's him sorted.
Yes mate - medical grade steriwipes (of which I have thousands!) are perfect for cleaning the juice out of the top caps and removing fingerprints without scratching. The gauze is medical grade/sterile cotton that some have had great success with as wick for tighter coils (easier to cut/roll/feed through than the pleat), it doesn't need any prep (no need to boil as it's already sterile) and no taste (some have reported a taste from even pure, organic cotton). I included them as a little extra if you wanted to try it out.
The sterile gauze is also excellent for Uber-OCD level cleaning of atties - use it as you wish

I'm made up by this - seriously pleased for you Yas. It only gets better from here - as you practice and bring the resistance down (as Majnu said), you'll find you can revisit juices and discover new flavours within them (seriously - try Simon's Apple Tart again on a 1.3ohm microcoil) as the coil heats and vaporises the juice faster & hotter. I'm getting an almost Apple Pop Tart taste now - my absolute weakness!
Now show us a picture of your efforts!
