Advice On The Ideal Sub-ohm Reo/rm2 Coil Setup

8 wraps 24g 2mm mandrel. I loves it

Interesting @eviltoy, got so,e 24g from CVS at the vape meet, but not yet used it

Whats the resistance?
Does it heat up quick?
Puffs before squonking?
 
Theres a video somewhere here of that build on my reo. Instaheat .58 ohms
 
OK it's time for me to try this whole SUB OHM stuff!

@Gazzacpt very kindly donated some beautifully twisted kanthal to me at the CT Meet and I used it to my my first Sub Ohm Coil!

Looking OK on Amanda after here intense cleaning exercise yesterday! I'm happy to report the cleanign was a huge success and that nasty taste I picked up in CT has gone!

Six wraps of twisted kanthal came out at 0.67 Ohms!

Some cotton added!

WOW! This is different! Warmer vape and more intense... I thought I wouldn't like it one bit but the more I use it the better I like it... Let's see how the day goes at Sub Ohm!

I feel like a grown up now! :rock:
 
Wow, @Rob Fisher , great coil, nice and neat!
Glad Amanda is clean now

That means with a fresh battery you are vaping at around 26 Watts!
I assume its Menthol Ice?
Enjoy

Also, @Gazzacpt - is that double twisted 32G?

Yes indeed it is pure Vapour Mountain Menthol Ice Hi Ho... I didn't want to mess with flavours when trying something new...

The draw can be a lot softer with this build... often I find myself giving it horns on the normal build and with this one the inhale is (or needs to be) way more gentle if that makes sense?

This is a whole new world yet again!
 
Indeed

Never got my twisted build to work - need to try it again

But I find you can take a shorter drag with the lower ohm coil. And it all happens very instantly.
With the higher ohm coils I take longer drags.

Your coil building skills have certainly grown up, well done. Now we need to find some AFCs for the Cyclones for those dual coils.
 
After I chatted to @Silver yesterday I decided to build another twisted cooker. 32g kanthal tightly twisted, 3 wraps @ 1.6mm ID comes in at 0.9 ohms. Damn, even with the coil positioned on the check, the TH is so harsh I've been coughing intermittently after vaping. Flavour is also down.
 
OMG this 0,67 Ohm coil is hot! I have found the solution... add a longer drip tip! :rock:

PS now that I know how to really get rid of nasty tastes I may just do that tomorrow! :rock:

I never thought I would ever want to build my own coils... done that.
I never thought I would ever want to vape sub ohm... done that.
I never thought I would try complex juices again... may do that tomorrow. :)

One thing I have learnt is to actually listen to the old time vapers because they have told me so many things I thought I would never do that now is a "Wonder why I never did this earlier" thing!

10 wrap 26g 2mm id. Awesome flavour cooler than my 24g build

Pity @vaalboy
I still like that paracoil but i need 30g I think - to make it good.
 
You guys all have some good looking coils, I'm still trying to find one I'm happy with though. Right now I have a 6wrap 28g standard coil with a 2.5mm ID on the RM2 @ 1ohm, cotton wick clipped 3mm each side of the coil. Performance is pretty good, nice TH, good flavour etc. Not too hot.

Honestly I have tried so many coils in here, sometimes up to about 5 or more a day in my quest to find the ultimate. And I still can't find the perfect one.
 
As a matter of interest @Alex , have you tried a smaller ID coil? Like 1,5 mm?
