what size drill bit/diameter do you use for your coil kinggirl? i heard more diameter = more vapor and flavor. i used a 5/64 drill bit for 9 wraps or so. do you use bigger or smaller size coil? whats the ideal number of wraps for surface area?

as for air hole i'm terrified of drilling it out but if it can be done by hand i may try it. but if i screw it up, id cry :(

I use the coil gizmo thing and use the 2nd smallest mandrel. Do you have this? http://www.amazon.com/Artistic-Wire-Coiling-Deluxe-Jewelry/dp/B0068RQ85K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406823915&sr=8-1&keywords=artistic+wire+gizmo

the mvp2 won't read below a 1.2 ohm coil. I suggested that b/c I like mine right at .9 to 1ohm so the mvp2 wouldn't read that. :)

that's actually not true KG - the mvp will read any ohm, it just wont fire below 1 ohm :) i've thought about one of those gizmos...hmmm looks enticing. i kind of enjoy doing it by hand though. i'm guessing the second smallest mandrel would be about the same size as what i used (second smallest drill bit) so i may stick with that for my next coil :D

awesome! good to know then since I have a mvp2 sitting around somewhere lol. I pulled out my drill bit kit from when I used to do by hand and yes I was using 5/64.

that's awesome, i may get that on my second REO :D

so i just built a 1.2 ohm microcoil, was aiming for 1 or 1.1 and the b*stard read 1 ohm at first but once i was done securing it and moving it to where i want it it went up to a steady 1.2. oh well. letting the wick sit in juice for a second...18mg Virus in this bad boy...my .... is about to be kicked :D

Sounds like your all set. I got a couple extra bottles as well. I got the RM4 though cuz it has AFC but I dont see myself using it much. I think it has larger airholes too.

I got a lot of cheap extras cause theyre cheap...ie extra screws, o-rings, bottles, tubes...and a repair kit is almost a must. this way if ANYTHING goes wrong you can fix it yourself. i think from what i hear the RM2 is the easiest to use (understatement for sure the word "easy") and i love it. if you're really good with coils and dont need tons of work space maybe go with what mota got an RM4 for adjustable airflow control. that parts totally up to you but i also must add the brass button is a good pick :) looks great with the copper vein
