Any simple microcoil build should do. Make two of them and you have a dual coil setup.
I personally use 28-gauge kanthal, about 7 loops around a 3.0 mm mandril. That is about 1.2 ohms per coil, so two of them together make 0.6 ohm dual coils. (Always measure your coil resistance prior to firing on a mod to confirm the ohm.) Use a coil building guide to change the resistance you desire. Steam Engine guides
I worked for a vape shop for a year. Everyone on staff built their own coils; some of them very exotic builds. Honestly, a simple microcoil will work just as well as any exotic coil. KISS. (Keep it simple, stupid.)
Make sure you understand how to use the Ohm's Law calculator. Explain it to the Noob
Make sure you have an Ohm reader or digital multimeter to measure your coil's resistance. No excuses to not have one if rebuilding coils.

Thank You very much Baditude. I do appreciate your recommendation. I have since received my REO and watched numerous videos from the REO king. Feel much more comfortable now with a mechanical mod and gaining the understanding of battery safety, effects of coil builds and how it effects watts. Feel much more comfortable now. Found the REO sub forum and have gained much knowledge from there. Thanks again.
once go mech, you never go back!!! I upgraded from my ego starter kit to mechs (before VV/VW was a big thing) and i keep buying them! I have some VV/VW mods, but theres something about my mechs i love. Not a reo fan, so i dont have much advice about that, but i personally don't like sub ohm vaping that much. I normally use 32 gauge kanthal and shoot for a 1.3 ohms microcoil. good luck!
Thanks Petrotech. I have only had this mod for about 7 hours and can understand your attraction to mechs already. Really liking this REO. Looking at my cabinet, I count 16 VV/VW mods including everything from Ego twist to Hana dna 40. I will continue to use most of them but I am liking the mech.
