Spaced Coils or Tight wraps?

50/50 whichever suits You best - am bestest coil

if you paws for a bit,, and look historically

all the evods/ce2 etc we almost all started with, were spaced coils (wound on silica)
rebuildables were "new" and started with spaced coils wound on silica,

Then the "micro" or "contact coil" was thought up and Everyone and there donkey jumped on that band wagon,
Next was Ni200 , in temp control / limiting mode , where contact coils just do not work so spaced coils made a comeback

seen lots of "theorys" and "your wrong" for both

If you take it down to bog basics,
a "contact coil" is nearly almost a "tube" ,, so its Going to get hotter in the middle than the ends , which when you add juice + cooling of juice to the ends + airflow to the center,, your going to be vaporising most of the juice Before it gets to the center, which goes black quicker,, as its hotter,
a spaced coil heats up evenly along its length, so goes blacker faster over the Direct part of the airflow first, (Same as a contact) but doesnt have the "hotter center" ,
as to which am best,, i think it Totally depends on
Your juice
Your airflow settings
Your wattage

oh and fancy ass pita "coils" are imho just bollox but take ages to faff n fkabout to make for , fkall flavour increases AT the watts i vape at with the airflow I like and the juices i like


+ves for a spaced coil
it just works, no faffing with squeezing/stroking , fettling , it just glows evenly from the get go *unless its Ni200 or Ti as you do not ever want to glow those

+ves for contact coils, easier to jam in more wick (Cotton)

-ves for spaced coils, jamming too much wick in will distort the spaces ,, which doesnt matter really

-ves for contact, "faff" of squeezing/stroking/rubbing to get to glow evenly

best,, down to you, suck it n see

It depends on the atty imho, I have some that vape and wick better with a spaced coil and others that perform and wick better with a contact coil.

I use spaced coils as they do not gunk up as quickly and last longer
also do not need to check for hot spots just wick and go :-)

I always thought that spaced coils allowed more surface area contact with the cotton and more room for more vapor to escape more freely but that's just me. I also think that spaced coils produce way less spitting/popping as the juice is not trapped in a cylinder which a thight coil creates.

I heard that a lot of people have liked these notched coils but I found the flavour of the juices quite lacking when I used these myself.
But this was when they first came out and maybe they have since improved on the design of them.

I use tight coils for cotton wicks most of the time but spaced for silice in the Kayfuns although the Kayfun 5 is tight cotton exception

I might have another shot with these when I do my next order from FT as one thing I did like about them was the quick ram up time, I also only used them in my dripper's but may have a go with using them in a couple of tanks to see how they vape.

You haven't got a link to which ones you purchased have you nemesis ?

Thanks for that nemesis sale or not they are still very cheap so it would be silly not to try them out at that price, and you never know I may get to like them yet.
