I have to agree. Tried the Xtr cap and the only thing I could imagine it being used for might be blowing obnoxious clouds, plus it can leak like crazy. If it's not too late you may want to add a standard cap to your order. I don't think they're terribly expensive on their own. That way you can try them both. I will add that using the Xtr cap, even with the AFC closed way down doesn't produce nearly the flavor and smooth warmth of the standard cap.
If you try it on a Reo make sure you place an o ring in the catch cup that is fat enough to seal the air/juice path, otherwise you will end up with a leaky mess. The beauty of this is that even if the base of the atty is fully torqued down you can adjust the ss cup until it makes connection with the 510. Of course you lose bottom airflow, but I've not missed it at all. My favorite build for the reo is dual coil, net resistance of around 0.4. Stock airflow wide open, and the coils just lifted over the edge of the ss cup.
Thanx for the help guys!!
XTR will be here today. Think I'll build with a single ni200 and put it on a VS rDNA40.
Hildicat, I was too late to get the standard cap but if I like the XTR I'll just order another with the standard cap. Also when you build duals do you build them on board?? Not many build videos for this one. Thanx!!

Building microcoils 'on board' wouldn't be possible. I make the coils seperately and then mount them in, as shown in the OP.
Parallel 32 gauge 6 wraps, 2 mm id, .6 ohm. hits like a champ. One side is over wrapped and I didn't notice before it was too late.
Would this be a good choice for a mechanical bf mod? I am waiting for a tmod from tbev and wonder if this atty would perform well on an unregulated device since using lower gauge wire is difficult.
I can fit 24 gauge nice and snug under the screws, I haven't tried 22 yet. I use my apollo on an unregulated box and a mech mod and I'm more than satisfied with the performance.
I use these on all of my BF mech mods. Dual coil, 26g Nichrome 80, 8 or 9 wraps each depending on juice. Comes out to roughly 0.3~0.45 ohms, and they work perfectly for me on my Reos and Dibi mods. 12 wraps each of the same wire on my regulated squonker is gorgeous at around 35 watts.
So I was on my regular daily path of destruction and I ran across 2 of these little guys screwed into the back of an old cd/dvd drive.
Yep, that's a nice full connection on that 22g. I'm about to go tare into another laptop to see if I can find some more!

Awesome find, Lubricatd! This has inspired me to find my old laptop. I think I am ready for the Apollo.
I only found 4 that had that head size after ripping the motherboard and everything out, but 2 of them are too long.
