The Reomiser 2

[Silver]

The standard airhole on the RM2 is 1.2mm @WARMACHINE
For me, that yields the PERFECT mouth to lung air setting
I have not widened any of my RM2s - because I love it like that

I know @Alex widened his - I think to 2mm - for a restricted lung hit

 

[jifjifjif]

I think mine are at 1/16th and I am a mouth to lung vaper. Great flavor and perfect airflow.

 

[Stevape;)]

My one was close to 3 mm so I decided to give the MTL a try and used some solder closed the hole and re drilled to 1.5 mm seems to doing the job brilliantly

@Papa_Lazarou, @Silver, I use 26 awg SS exclusively.
Have you tried a cyclone @Silver?

Yes I have @Christos
I have the Cyclone with a normal cap and with the AFC
I am not sure why but I have never really gotten to love the Cyclone. It does produce great flavour but something draws me to the RM2 more. Maybe I like the simplicity of the build or the ceramic deck. Cyclone does look prettier though

May I interest you in my cyclone builds?
They need thr afc cap because the SS tends to get too hot for the normal cap and I can't seem to build smaller than 2.5 mm ID without getting scorched cotton.

You certainly may - don't know when I will try them - but fire on - I will take notes and put it in my "build queue"

My newest RM2 Build, and it is quite nice. Full of flavor , nice and warm.
28ga Ni80 wire (Twisted)
6 wraps
2mm I.D
Wick: Cotton Bacon V2
0.40 ohm

 

[Silver]

Nice @Petrus
How you finding the Ni80 wire in general?

Hi @Silver, I like it a lot. The ohms is a bit lower, but I prefer the quick ramp up time. If you prefer to build with say 28ga Kanthal, you can do the same build with 26ga Ni80, and get a better result, IMO.

Thanks @Petrus!

I got some 26g Ni80 from VK a while back. Am looking forward to giving it a test run in the RM2
Couldnt find 28g so will start with 26g and see how it goes.

For the record, my "best allround" build in the RM2 so far (for hard tobaccoes) is a 5 double wrap paracoil with 29g Kanthal. 10 wraps in total. 1.6mm id. 0.45 ohms. Love it for the crispness and fast ramp.

That coil has been my goto coil for several months now. Nothing else seems to knock it off its pedestal. But in the name of Science and experimentation, i will keep on trying...

@ Silver, I would say, keep the ID 1.6, but try 7 wraps with the 26ga Ni80

Thanks @Petrus, would you say single or parallel?

 

[Petrus]

Thanks @Petrus, would you say single or parallel?

First try a single coil. A parallel coil with 28ga Ni80 is really good, one of my best, but the ohms is low. 0.2-0.3

Eek, that is low
Highly doubt I would do a paracoil with 26g then
Will try a normal coil first

Guys, look at ribbon kanthal. I have some and enjoyed it in the chalice. Quick ramp up and high ohms. I think I could go through 12 ml through a reo before needing a battery change.
@Petrus, excuse my ignorance, is Ni80 safew to be vaped in a mech?
I only have experience with Ni200 which should be spaced and only used with temp control because it releases dangerous chemicals when overheated.

Firstly it irritates my throat which leads me to believe I have a nickel alergy. Secondly I bought 26 AWG because that's all that was in stock and 10 wraps gets me a 0.09 ohm coil. Wonderful for a rolo dna device but the steam crave squonker (soon to get a fad daddy bf 510 with an italian squonk bottle) only works with 0.1 ohms.

 

[Petrus]

@Christos, my journey with Ni80 started, by reading threads on ECF of building with it on the OL16. I did some research and found that Ni80 can safely be used in wattage mode. Ni200 only in TC mode, but it also irritates me. Nowadays I only built with Ni80 and SS316.

Thanks for that. I try buy reputable wire because I have buttloads of kanthal but most of it is dodgy. The wire is filthy and questionable. I like UD and some expensive brands but the stock is not readily a available.

Given your concerns about wire, you might want to consider stainless steel 316l. It's safe to use in either power (mechs or regulated) or TC mode and comes with less health baggage than chromium or nickel.

Like nichrome, it's resistance is lower per foot than kanthal.

I love ribbon in the RM2

I use 316L SS exclusively.

@Petrus - you champ!

This coil is in honour of you



I went with a single, using the 26g Ni80. 7 wraps around 1.6mm ID
Came out at about 0.35 ohms!! Eek, thats quite low i thought for such a small ID

My word, this is amazing!!

Still early days but first impressions are as follows:

• Instant ramp
• Crisp enough despite 26g
• Vicious!!! Am vaping a 9mg juice (very low for me) and it has a decent TH. Am so chuffed about that
• There is a "rumble in the jungle" - the phrase I use for what it sounds like when firing. This thing means business....

More to follow over the coming days....

Just hoping it holds out nicely but I am very excited. Its like discovering a whole new device!

I dare to say, you may need 2 or 2.5mm ID's soon.
Also 12mg juice will be "sufficient" for your needs in the near future.

A side note @Silver, check your batteries voltage at 3ml usage and make sure your positive firing contact has ample noalax.
You get a decent spark at low ohms which can "scar" the firing pin.

Thanks @Christos
I am usually at 0.45 so my batts get down to about 3.6 or 3.7 at 3ml

I put dielectric grease on both the firing pin and battery positive about every three batt charges. I do random spot checks for sparks in the dark and all seems clear.

But I will do more careful checking with this 0.35 Ohmer. Thanks for the reminder.

I will also experiment with wider IDs soon. But so far so good. Am loving the crispness and vigour so far!
