I never had any luck with rayon in a kayfun/russian either

yeah the problem with this is, once youve used rayon, you cannot go back to cotton

Took some more pics, got as many angles as I thought would be necessary Hope they help

Thanks.
(btw, the disagree rating was from earlier when the forum was freaking out on me for some weird reason).

I had to do twisty, as I wrongly received 32g - gotta make it work for me somehow!

Just couldn't get the twisties tighter with hand-twisting though...

no worries dude.

32g wire is a real sumbeech to try and twist. I don't have a torch but I find that slowly running the wire through a flame really slowly helps to take most (not all) of the springyness out. I also twisted mine by hand... you need to be patient and stay calm.... don't try while listening to metal

Now if this was a you tube video I would have given you a double like instead of a single like

Peter said in his post its 2mm ID, but you are right, smaller id's tend to improve flavor.

 

[BumbleBee]

I tend to stick with 2mm because it's easy and I'm lazy like that

Smaller ID's will boost flavour a little but I find they don't wick as well as 2mm for my style of vaping

 

[Necris]

Thanks @BumbleBee and @johan.
had a twisted 32g 2mm coil in there and i wasnt a fan,didnt do Bobas justice,1.4mm 28g micro and things are a lil more tasty.

Just finished this off now for my kayfun tomorrow

 

[Dr Phil]

My 1st attempt on twisted coil

 

[Dr Phil]

Still have not posted my little coil on kayfun yet

 

[Alex]

My 1st attempt on twisted coil

Looks good, although I can't see the coil closeup. Just make sure it looks similar to this one

 

[Dr Phil]

I see what u mean mine is slighty shifted to the side any tips of posting coils as i most of the time find it hard to post under the screws is it ok to do a rap around the screw and then screw down ur coil

 

[Dr Phil]

I must say im loveing my hcigar kayfun more than my kayfun clone I bought im happy there is no more drip cap under the tank

@dr phil maybe it's just very late and I'm quite tired but I'm finding it very hard to make out what you just said, try using some punctuation bud.

Sorry man using my cheap small phone as my pc has problems.
