So wish Tulsa wasn't a four day trip for me. (drive time and meet-up, rest neck/back a day and recover from partying all night, drive time back, rest neck/back a day) I would so love seeing all you fine Okies.

Dan,
I've been using 28AWG Kanthal using 10 wraps around a 3/32 drill bit making a nice tight 10 coils with a Double piece of 2mm Silica, best coil/flavor yet.
So would love to come!!! All the vape meets in Metroplex are far away AND that's not the same as visiting with dearest REOnauts. DH being out of town and having no one to doggie sit for several days makes it hard to stay away for long. I need to get my passenger mirror fixed, too. I have to re-tape it up every time I go out in my car. It's so hard to get things like that done as no buses for back and forth and taxi service is virtually non-existent. (The Acura place, 20 miles away, has loaner cars but prices for anything and everything are exorbitant.) I was at Best buy over 5 hours, waiting, when I had his car radio replaced. After the fact I remembered that they now have radios that have pause and hop like DVR. We so love that function on DVR and DH was so sad we didn't think about that. Both of us sometimes reach down to car radio to try to skip back.
Luckily there was a semi-covered, outside bench area right outside (and Kindle and Phone to pass the time) and a Chinese Restaurant walking distance (and they now have light alcohol beverages and almost good sushi but super cheap and all you can eat); lots of fun things to play with in BB, too. (The Acura disk changer/radio is major tied in with touch screen GPS. It was amazing how much the dash and console and side panels had to be broken down!!!! More simple radios only take about an hour. At least we got Sirus for DH but we lost the GPS b*tche's voice as she runs through the radio and you have to replace with expensive Acura factory part to keep the voice. We didn't realize how dependent we were on the voice until not having it. This was one of the first factory installed GPS so the screen is not as big as newer cars.)I'll be there with you guys in spirit.
Hugs, Feisty Alice

Cool! I may have to take ReoUNO with me for a special guest appearance!
I wished I lived close to Tulsa too...been years since I was there (16 or 17 years old)... My dad is from Tulsa- born there and still have a few relatives around.
Ever see Dennis Hopper's response to Christopher Walken in the movie "True Romance"? I love it. Not because it's a shot at Italians ( I have nothing against Italians) but because it is one of the great scenes of the the little guy winning in an unwinable situation against a much stronger opponent.

Amen Brother... Just got 28AWG Kanthal yesterday.. Made 9 wraps around 400 mesh and I could taste flavor that I have never tasted before... AMAZING !
So what ohms are you guys ending up with after all 10 wraps? How do you manage getting the wick in after coiling them around the drill bit? Anyone have a metric conversion for that size drill bit?
They're making the coils tight like a 357 then sliding it off the bit and live in the USA and shouldn't need a conversion

My first "memorable" trip west of Mississippi River (early 50's) was to visit my Uncle and family in Miami OK when I was a kid. Back then there were so many roadside, touristy cowboy and indian places. I was in "cowboy" heaven!!!! One of the first Major Christmas presents I can remember was an Annie Oakley outfit with double cap shooters, boots, hat, and plenty of caps. I protested skirt, though.
(I never was into dolls, like my sisters, except for the ballerina doll (my parents did try to make me more girlie) with stage setup and outfits and matching outfit for me from Santa. That didn't last long, though.... back then the garbage men picked up garbage bags/boxes/etc., from inside back doors (imagine that now days
) I left the big storage box/stage too near the back door, pick-up after Christmas and it went with all the Christmas trash. I didn't even cry so parents figured a replacement of something different would probably suffice. I probably liked the replacement better (I only remember them going to the dump to look for it.). When we were teens we did get Madame Alexander dolls but they were mostly for display.)Hugs, Feisty Alice
I am interested in trying out my first RBA... but I have questions...
1) What size drill bit?
2) Where is a good source for the wick and wire?
3) Can you buy the wire/wick ready to go already wound up and just drop it in?
4) Can you get different size wires/wicks to make your RBA function at different ohms?
Thanks

1. I assume you talking about the drill bit to wrap the coil around in which case 3/32"or a little bigger works pretty good but most of the time I just wrap mine around the silica itself just don't make it too tight
2.ebay or amazon is a good place to start
3.avid sells ready made 1's
4.yes there is several ways to get more or less ohms and different gauge wire is 1 also more or less wraps etc

Instead of wrapping around a drill bit, consider using a bolt or screw - then just unscrew the bolt from the wire. The threads make for nice, evenly spaced coils.
I just use a small straight pin and stick it through the middle of what I am using for thw wick, then carefully wrap my coil around that. Then pull out the pin, and attach the coil to the rebuildable. It has worked every time. The pin stabilizes the wick material making it easier to wrap.

Thanks for the info. To determine the actual ohm rating of how many coils or wraps you do, should you just use a multi-meter and measure it? If that's true, it's kinda like a redneck way of getting VV on a regular Reo Grande
