I actually have sone flatwire I wasn't getting good results from. Will give this a try.
I found the flatwire too hot and it kept burning my wicks...

Let me know how it works for you
Uncle @Rob Fisher looking forward to your thoughts on this build
I can't build fancy coils... if I don't buy from @RiaanRed or @smilelykumeenit then I can't test this.

I'm in the same boat lol

@Moey_Ismail , i loved your post about your coil journey on this tank.
Glad you found something that works well for you.
I have yet to experiment with exotic coils in most of my gear
So many potential things to try its quite boggling

Time to put in a new coil into my beloved Skyline. I'm always nervous changing such an important setup because I'm not sure I will get it spot on again. I should not have worried... the coil is more than spot on... fresh coil, fresh wick, fresh battery and DNA75C to drive it... I wonder if it could ever get better than this?
So you don't have to cut the wick long and tuck it down to the deck.Just cut it off either side of the coil?
Yebo spot on @Genosmate! It's a pretty simple build!
Edit: I thought you were talking about the coil... no you do tuck the tails into the deck.
Here's a small observation I made with building on the Skyline.
Clockwise wrapped coil
Anti clockwise wrapped coil
The anti clockwise coil centers itself much better over the airflow, not leaving the coil too much to the left of the deck

found a solution to "dry vapes", at least it works for me.
make sure the cotton inside the coils are enough (a little more than usual) and the tails just barely touching the wick holes. trim off excess cotton. havent had any dry hits or dry vapes.
Anyone have any wicking tips for the Skyline? It works well for the first tank or so and then dry hit city, I've wicked with Vapers Choice, Native Wicks Platinum Blend and Cotton Bacon V2, bow tie method with cutting a 3rd off the top, combing the cotton till I can't comb anymore, wicks cut to the outer o ring of the deck, wicks cut to the inner o ring below the juice flow ports, so short that it barely just covers the juice ports and not till the bottom of the well, initially thought my build was too hot, so I changed to a 2 x 29ga fused with 38ga, same issue, tried removing a wrap and spacing the coil, it helped a little but then on the second tank I'm back to square 1, tried various heights for the coil to see if it'll make a difference but still nothing, I mainly use 70/30 juices. Thought maybe the tank doesn't like being chain vaped. Is there a possibility of an airlock issue here @Rob Fisher? It's a very noisy draw and the vape seems somewhat dry. Anything over 25 watts and my cotton gets burnt to where when I remove it it comes out in 2 separate parts

Skyline pit stop... both operational on top of the Fury Mattis and Senator!
@Rob Fisher my Skyline you wicked for me a night or two before VapeCon is still going strong
For those who don't know - we were very tired and Rob still managed to rewick my BB and Skyline. Which kept me going through build day and VapeCon. Rob you champion! Thanks again

What juice are you running? I get max 2 boros before needing a rewick!
On the BB I had a mix of NCV Trinity nicced up with some extra nic and menthol drops. Am on about the fourth Boro tankful only - and its going well. I mainly use it for out and about, so I dont use it as a main workhorse - hence my wicks last long time wise...
Skyline hasnt seen much action since VapeCon. Also a fruity menthol in there. Was that Nasty red blood from Rob, now also a Trinity mix. But i am only on about the 3rd tank since VapeCon. Will get more use as I get back into the normal swing of things....

I get about 2 tanks before needing a rewick the skyline but I guess it's the sugary juices I like.
I can get about 10 refills on fruits and menthols but I have dedicated devices for those...
Yip the light coloured fruity menthols are very good on the wicking
I think my lowish power levels also help
Thats why I like to ramp it up a bit with the nic
I pulled 5 days on a boro using sugary international juices and honestly by the 3rd day the flavor not only seems muted but there's this harshness on the inhale that's sort of unpleasant. I'd say about 3 boro' a day and 3 days max before I rewick. Skyline is much more sensitive tho... I re wick the morning I'm using it and then re wick when I use again.

Look what will be waiting for me when I return from Paris... Gold Skyline!
I could not agree more. When I heard gold skyline I thought bling and more of the same ... this though, is something special.
Congrats @Rob Fisher , she is a beauty!
So pretty!
