Givin to me by a friend, but man is this tiny. Tried a clapton on it and it wouldn't fit. Need a super tiny coil. Thinking about tossing this thing in the garbage..
What RTA is this?

Never had an Orchid but plenty rated it as an alternative to the original KFL Lite for an airier draw. As is said, like all attys of the time, it was designed for use with simple roundwire Kanthal coils. You have to remember that using a microcoil and cotton then was edgy 
I’ve totally returned to using simple spaced and micro Kanthal coils. Easier to build, easier to vape, longer battery life, using less juice and no loss in flavour.

I agree (not familiar with that specific tank) small simple round wire coil. If you don't have a coil winding tool, it's easy to make a small spaced coil (I have literally done this just using a nail) I use the second method in this video:
Of course, wicking is the tricky part... every tank is different. Good luck. It's late... I'm tired so maybe tomorrow will try to give you some more specific tips.
@TrollDragon , I am very confused... vertical coils? You have more experience than me so I concede. GrimmGreen did horizontal coils (but he is not a great builder)
OP... that means you @Straydonkey , good luck (don't mean to be negative, but not an easy build for a beginner) I am very confused about this old school RTA. Not sure your friend did you a favor by giving you this (sure... after you get some experience but not a good one to learn on) Have you built before?

I don't know why DJLsb did vertical coils in that video, it's not a build I would choose to put in it. That was the first video that popped up so it's the one I linked.
The Orchid is not a hard tank to build, that deck is the same as the OG Silverplay and Aqua V2. Horizontal coils over the airholes with thinned out tails just resting about halfway down those vertical juice channels.The bottom fill is why I don't use those tanks or the original KFL+ anymore but they were a excellent vape 5+ years ago.
Neither was that one, I suppose he just did it because he could. Not a build I would choose for that tank.
I'm going to get the coils I need for this and give it a shot.
