    Xc-116 vs ekowool

    This is a very interesting coil, Pdib. I just tried it, though I don't have the testicular fortitude to do it at .5 ohm, mine is 1.8 at 30ga kanthal. For me, with microcoils, that's pretty low, usual is 2.4. The tails dangling out of the middle are great. RM2 is a bit concave, and they dangle...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    ZOMG! So the rumors about antifreeze in e-liquid ARE true?! :)

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    It really depends on the juice he uses and the wire thickness used in the coil. The thicker the wire, the longer it will last, mainly because it can be dry-burned to clean more times. The juice... I have two coils, close to identical. One is running clear juice, and the other one is for dark...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Looks like A6?

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Well, you need to find the surface of a circle -- Pi*R*R Add the areas of all your airholes (say, A). Then the radius of the single hole comparable to it would be sqrt ( A/Pi )

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Since coils are pretty quick and easy to make, why don't you try a longer coil? Say, 2 ohm? Just to compare. Word of warning -- they do take a second or two to warm up, especially if you use 28gauge wire

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Looks really nice! Is it not too hot at 1.4? I found that microcoils feel like much lower resistance normal coils, so I'd imagine this may feel like a sub-ohm coil? Mine looks similar, but is 2.2 ohm, and I still end up having to take shorter drags to prevent choking and drowning the room in...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    No-no, you squeeze it right after releasing the firing button, while the coil is still hot.

    MECH. SAG . . . . . . . really?

    I believe it to be subjective. Personally, I don't notice that much of a difference between 4.2 and 3.8. 3.7 I do notice, but not enough to bother me. My wife, however, notices much smaller drops in voltage.

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    It's actually easier than it seems. I use strong reading glasses for wrapping. Some use magnifier lamps. You need to try to wrap to where coils are touching, wrapping onto a needle/nail/toothpick/something. Attach the coil with the said nail/something in place, then pull the form out. Fire...

    28 gauge, 14 wraps. 2.1 ohm, unregulated mod. Feels like a .8ohm genesis, but with more vapor. And battery lasts a looong time. Like one 18500 lasting almost all day, though 3ml of juice.

    Reomizer 2.0 specs and design? What makes it special?

    Ceramic cup makes for some fresher flavor, and (I assume) a better insulator than the usual silicone. That prevents atomizer from getting too hot and cooking the juice. It also allows for SS mesh wicks, as they don't short against the floor. Posts are far enough apart to allow for different...

    Low profile switch on a cheap mech?

    Thank you :) The cutoff is pretty hard in place, since this would not be my main vape. Just something to keep on my desk for an occasional urge to genesis

    Low profile switch on a cheap mech?

    Thank you, Richard! I do understand that connection and switch take up space. My only problem is that it's so much space. Back when I was tinkering with making mods, the smallest mech switch I made for my fugly copper pipe mod was just under 1/2". Most Segelei and my K100 seem to be over twice...

    The regular RM2 will also fit the Grand. It's only the original Mini (14500) that needs it to be milled down.

    Low profile switch on a cheap mech?

    Do you guys know of any cheap (sub $50) mech mods that have a relatively low profile buttons/510 connections? For some reason most mods spend about an inch of the height on the switch, be it side or bottom, and another 3/4" on the 510 connector :)

    26 gauge scares me. I'm a fan of vaping on the can (old smoker habit). 28 gauge micro coils with low resistance (sanely low, not Pdib's .2 ohm) fog it up so much I can't see. I think with 26 gauge I'd drown.

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    They are smaller than mine. I've generally been using 28 ga wire, which prefers slightly larger diameter coils. Mine are about 16ga (1.5mm) inner diameter, yours look like about 18 (1mm)? Well, this one is an experiment, it's almost 2mm diameter. 2.4 ohm, still hits like a truck. Too much...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    I know this is wrong, but I think I'm gonna have wet dreams about this. You should call this coil "Megan Fox".
