Only a pleasure broI am still very much learning sub ohming and coil building, and thanks to a couple of people on the forum, and then a special thanks to @Yiannaki who took the time at JHB Vape Meet to show me the ropes or rather wire of custom coils. I really cannot wait to get the RM2 and coiling that bad boy... there will be pictures and there will be vapor.
Only a pleasure bro
Hopefully when the next vape meet comes you will have your reo by then and you can join the reo photo op
Oh...and I'm using my Zenith V2 (BF) with a delrin driptip what @JakesSA made.
out of reach by .37
Sorry, will update it. It's .43 ohms.
Also added a video on how she vapes
By the way, the only reason I'm using 26g in my setup, is because I don't have 24g and still waiting on an order of that. Then the setup will be 9 wraps with the middle one stretched to make the gap, thus 4 wraps on each side of the gap. will be roughly .3x and that is my ideal vape.
This is my ideal Reo setup:
I use 26g kanthal on a 2mm ID drillbit for my coils. Dual coil, 7 wraps, but the wrap in the middle is stretched out so it's 2 x 3 wraps with a gap in the middle. She weighs in @ .43 ohms and fires beautifully
I used cotton in this one and I push the cotton that goes through the gap in the coil down to form another wicking source for the coils. Like this:
Then I push the two sides of the cotton that stick out down and in and against the negative posts so it all forms a barrier to keep the juice from leaking in case you accidentally over-squonk. Like this:
I do the same on the other side and then it looks like this. Note the space in the middle around the positive post.
So, when you squonk, the juice wells up from the middle upwards and it feeds all the cotton at the same time! Like this:
I've used this for a while now and not only with this coil setup. I've used the same wicking technique with other coils as well and just push the cotton underneath the coil and then at the sides against the negative posts. Been working like a charm for me for a long time and I'll keep doing it this way.
Hope I gave some of you some ideas
Happy Vaping!

And the Reo has a collapsible spring. So, for example, should it fire by accident in say your bag and the battery becomes too hot, the spring will collapse and break contact. Fortunately the firing button is so situated that this is unlikely to happen. The spring will also collapse in case of a short.
Looking good. I have been taught that the lower to the deck and the closer to the rim, the more flavour and the less TH. The higher up and the closer to the posts the less the flavour and the more the throat hit. In the beginning mine was very high - like in the bottom of the coil parallel to the tops of the posts, but I did not like it too close to the post - about 2mm like yours. Nowadays my TH craving is not as intense and I build the coil lower to the deck. Play around, move that coil up and down and feel the difference.1ohm Micro coil

@dr phil tried that 2mm ID dirty coil and mico .. gives nice taste but the hit was lacking, with this the taste is slightly less but it hit's
Sorry sirIt's Dr Evil by the way @kimbo
I'll take a pic next time for you of my setup. Try 1ohm with 2.0mm ID micro coil, take the coil closer to the edge but lift it slightly above the airhole, this setup gives me great throat hit and flavour. Also from your photo i use a bit less wick, looks almost like a bow tie when I'm done with it.
