Thanks for the links man. I find the cotton build tricky.. I guess i suck with rbas lol. Cotton pisses me off.. it always has a cotton taste unless you get it PERFECT.. I found keeping one end a little upwards and one end down seems to work better.. when i bend the cotton up it ends up twisting tot he center and doesn't wick well.
i still want to try mesh tho.. Thanks for the links.. Wish someone would have made a video .. Videos are always easier to follow for me.
regards
The cotton builds are a piece of cake, very fast can be made, believe me. I was hesitant too in the beginning, but after 2-3 failures, I became an expert
You can make a micro coil build with a toothpick, a small screwdriver, a thin chopstick, a thick nail, whatever comes around, using a 28 or 32 gauge wire for a coil of 6-8 turns, it's fun. Keep the cotton tails short, I repeat short, at most to the diameter of the Spheroid or a bit more. Let them standing upwards like a proud small moustache, but keep them short, the room is tiny, you do't want overflow or block the bell's opening. After a dozen of inhales the cotton taste goes away. Just try it and you'll find it pretty convenient. You can keep the same micro coil for months, just a dry burn and change the cotton every 2 days. There are reasons that most people prefer cotton builds instead of mesh: easiness of build and repeatability of the same results. But play with mesh if you wish and maybe you find that this is best media for you.
