Stretching Coils

[VapeMonk]

I have a FlowerpotB1 Diffuser with a Shovelhead bowl. I have heard people talking about stretching the coils but I have no idea what this does or why I should do it. Can anyone provide some insight?

You can use a flat head screwdiver or similar to poke between the coil wraps to open the 'spring' to cover more of the heating/ball area of the diffuser.

Late to the game here, sorry about that.

But fwiw, I stretched and tightened the coil on my B1 and was able to run it about 50 degrees lower than I'd been using it previously. Did exactly what's described in the post above. Used pliers to tighten it as well. Very simple procedure. Though I did watch a few youtube videos of people stretching and tightening their coils first, just to make sure I wasn't messing anything up. You may want to do the same if you haven't done it already.
