    The missing piece of the puzzle.

    I'll second that. Hit's really good, almost as good as the RM2. Its definitely my second favorite.

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Well, I have no idea what made me think of this...but i thought, hey, maybe it needs a cleaning and some TLC. So I cleaned the contacts and then applied some stuff, um, I think it's call Noalox. May be I read this in the instructions that came with it? Oh, well. Working much better now...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Well, I cannot do it that fast yet. Takes me at least 1 minute.:thumbs: But changing these out is easy compared to making a whole new coil, testing the resistance, etc.

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Started reallly, really good. But now its ... well...lousy. Heating slow, only hitting 3.3v on a fresh battery. So, checked the wick - burnt. New wick and back up. Going to keep running with this tonight, shot for a 1.8ohm coil tomorrow. Does this make me a Scientist? I measured it...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    He we go... Used tweasers, worked great. I took a coil I made last night that looked ok and started with that. Came out to only 1.4 ohms, I think it was 28g. Sorry for the lame cell phone pic.

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    I used a 3/32 bit. I've tried 32g, 30g, and 28g. I haven't worried about the wraps, just trying to figure out how to get them touching. I might pull the coil out of the RM2 tonight and try the "CATastrophe Technique". I need to get a vice to try the "Treebeard Technique".

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    2 cool tips there! I think this might be easier if I get a "third hand" to hold the bit/needle while I wrap and then I could use the pliers to hold one end. Off to the hobby store today! I have been using either drill bit or a 14g blunt needle. Torch the wire and then wrap them completely by...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Wow, 6 coil attempts and all spaced :facepalm: Got them a bit closer but it seam like once i let go of the wire it "spreads". *sigh*. Enough for tonight.

    Anyone try using flat Kanthal? I have some on the way to try with my Genny tanks.

    Reonauts are so kind and generous...

    There is drama going around, you just haven't stumbled on it yet. From my experience it is not very common. This is easily one of the best groups I have found, there was other group as well but they closed the thread down There was no drama on that group either even when people popped in with...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    So, how do you guys get the wraps on the coil so close? I have tried a couple of times and they are always spread out (not touching). I think i have wrapped too many "standard" coils.

    Why does it take so long for my coil to heat up?

    Did you test it without load to see if it is in good shape to start?

    Why does it take so long for my coil to heat up?

    I use fiberglass pens on all my mod contact points. Works like a dream. I use a few seconds and its clean. It is soft (like a paint brush) so it works great on uneven surfaces.
