Wickless Coil?

yea it is just a twisted micro coil with just a little space between the coils(just a hair or 2 distance between the coils) and no wick of course. Because the coils are close together the surface tension will keep the juice from running of your coil. It is great for testing new juices but useless for anything else. You only get one hit and then have to add more juice.

For juice tasting I prefer to make a small micro coil and than feed a small piece of oxidized mesh through it. Holds a few drops of juice and easy to dry burn between juices.

I never thought to test juice on coil with no wick. *facepalm* That would save on time and material.. good info

I use bridge-less atty's to test liquids. Same concept---coil, no wick. Holds 4-5 drops of liquid. Can be used as a dripper on an eGo battery depending on ohms.

I tried a wick-less coil a coworker had and It gave off a bad metal taste.

Personally I've been using one for my DIY juice mixing taste tests. 2 Strands of 22 AWG Kanthal twisted tightly together (with a drill) and 28 AWG kanthal wrapped around the twisted kanthal after the fact. 4 wraps of that around a 1/16" drill bit and you're good to go. Give it a shot, it's certainly more convenient than burning/changing wick every time you switch flavors, especially in the above scenario.

Finally got some 22 Gauge wire on order from you, along with some other nifty rebuilding supplies!
Can't wait to try some of these crazy exotic builds I've been seeing thrown around.

^^^ What he said. I also have done the same for a couple years now. Bridgeless atties are THE best for this kind of thing.

Now as an alternative you can wrap a coil around some silica and then snip off both ends flush with the ends of the coil. This would allow you a bit of a longer draw without getting totally acrid hits. Still will only hold one or two drops tho so dont go wild with it.

To change flavors mix a bottle of plain vg or pg with a little distilled water and use that to clean the old flavor out of the coil. I do this with bridgeless atties after blowing them out and when changing flavors and it only takes a few drops of plain vg/dw to clear the old flavor.

I'm brand new to DIY juice and I'm looking to pick up a few bridgeless attys for juice testing - any recommendations and sites that sell them I haven't found a lot of options out there

I last bought some at gotvapes.com. They had a noname bridgeless atty I liked so i bought like 15 more. Havent bought any or checked since. I dont go thru them very fast as they are only for testing when I am mixing juice, or if Im cracking some vape shops recipe... lol.

Cisco spec attys are what you would want to google if you want the best tho.

I don't think that's what I'm after - I assume that arch is the bridge I'd read what would work best is a small ceramic cup with a little coil over it to drip into - or am I just thinking about this wrong?
