New Reload Dual Coil RTA Incoming!

Mines is almost touching the airflow slots - about 1mm longer than i use on the OG reload.
I find better flavour off the 3mm coils but the fit is pretty tight = might want to go 2.5mm even for space.
I've only got the 3mm coils at the moment, so will git it a bash first.
 
Throwing my first build on a shiny new 26 tonight, but have to decide between a quad core fused clapton, or some White COllar aliens... Which would you guys recommend and how long did you cut your leads?
White Collar coils FTW!

I just tried a single 3mm Alien and flavour is great but not as great as 2x 2.5mm coils. In the 2 days using the 26 now, I have found that flavour is great with airflow closed about half way but ofcause this is subjective. Have not had any difficulties with wicking or leaking though.. Even left it lying on its side overnight with a full tank and no leaks this morning.

Okay, so the white collars were too wide, I couldn’t get the legs into the post holes without badly deforming the coils. I also cant remove a wrap, because the coils are already rated .11 for duals.
I went with the quad fused claptons at 6mm lead legs. It initially came in at .07 and the mod refused to fire. So after some scrubbing and scraping, I removed and replace the deck and after all the hot spots came out, it settled at .12...

I decided to pull the coils out to the side a little too...

If the ohm are too low, on the Gen mod, go into DIY and select SP, it will allow the mod to fire at 0.7 ohms
 
Is the flavour better with them further apart?
No idea... I just wanted to get them as close to the airflow as possible. I will wick it up and take it for a spin a little later.
 
Holy shit... I am a reload convert.
This thing is amazing.

Mines are practically touching the side and bottom of the deck and airflow port. Enjoying it there.
Further apart means closer to the airflow

An still not better than og? Or is it too different to compare?

My take is that it's different
The experience is very different

Granted there are some that don't like it at all.
And clearly some like it alot.

I think I need a few more days and maybe some build fiddling to decide more.

But so far it's enjoyable enough for me.

Never had a vape on the OG, but the vape is saturated and warm (much warmer than my Blotto). The draw on the Blotto is smoother and quieter though, but damn the flavour on the Reload is VERY good.
Side note, I’m running 3mm framed staples in the Blotto and 3mm quad-core fused claptons in the Reload. I’m not sure if that is making the difference in warmth and/or flavour.
 
Just an update after using the Reload 26 for a few days.. I'm now accustomed to the tighter draw. Do yourselves a favour and get a set of White Collar HEX ALIENS which are between 2.5-3.0mm coils. The flavour on this 26 is immense for a top airflow and surpasses the OG by a long shot.. Yes,that is a bold statement as I've been using the OG Reload for a looong time and nothing came close. I'm now comfortable to say that this was a great buy!

What wattage are you running at, what length are you cutting your coils?
How does it perform with deserts?

It is probably another very subjective topic, but I think it does better with desserts than fruits.
My current setup is 2 x 3mm quad core framed staples (6mm leads) at 0.15 and vaping at between 67 and 72 watts.

Coils came out at 0.4ohm and vaping at 60W. I'm using Lungasm Snowball and it's on point.. For me, the sweetness is eleveted with these coils which I enjoy and the coconut gives me a perfect throat punch. On exhale, I get a strong strawberry kind of flavour. So all in all, I don't believe the flavour gets any better and that's coming from a Reload X user which, for me, is the best flavour I've ever gotten of any atomiser. Have also tried it with Nostalgia Avatar and a few other fruity and bakery juices and its performed well. No regrets!

Agreed, it has done better with dessert and bakery profiles thank fruity ones for me. I think with icy fruits, the tight draw kills a great experience but again.. Subjective.

I think the vape temperature also affects it for me (also linked to the tighter draw, I guess), as the vape on the Reload tends to be warmer than my Blotto.

Thanks for the input and your coil length?

5/6mm (I normally just eyeball where I cut the coil legs). What I suggest, with the deck being a post less design, is that you cut at 6mm and use a coil tool to hold it at a height where the top of the coil is in line with the top air holes. Crappy picture, but hopefully you can see what I mean

anybody own a Reload 26 and a Zeus Dual ?

The specs for the Zeus glass seem to match my (semi-blind) ruler measurements of the reload 26 glass...
