Favorite build on your Reo is?

[Stacy1]

The rave these days is for sure the sub-ohms with max air flow. Me personally, I don't like too airy of a draw as I'm not a lung hitter. The only reason I go with 1ohm is I like the warmer vape. If it gets to the point that I'm vaping outside the limits of my reo, it will be time to change the way I vape. Not a chance of me changing my device. Only had my grand a couple of weeks, and I'm already trying to decide on color of my first mini

Another 30 gauge here, 9 wraps on 1/16" drill bit, around 1.8 ohms, good flavor and vapor for this low power, in a RM3 or Igo-bf.

Over the last 12 months I see a steady trend where people are going lower and lower in ohms, which demands higher power. If they keep looking for more, they won't be using a Reo for much longer. It maxes out around 64W or so, after that you can do the fuse mod, after that, one battery is the limiting factor. The next 6 months will be interesting times for sure, to see if the higher power trend continues or plateaus out.

Another wuss vaporer. Right up my ally Ian. I use 29gauge instead.

I tried, finally, a 0.5 ohm dual coil with airflow setup - and I didn't like it.
I mean, it did what it was supposed to - but I don't like to draw like that.

So I went back - my favorite setup is a single coil, about 1 ohm, with a pretty tight draw.
(stock Cyclone for instance. I have an AFC and it's sitting!)

Does your Cyclone AFC not have the regular stock size hole as well? Mine do. Turn it just a leeeetle bit past that big airy thing. lol I don't like airy either. Almost forces me to lung hit and no me gusta. Maybe a waste of an AFC but I like the way they look on LPs and they come in colors.

I agree it looks cool (mine's black) - but even running a single, I prefer the stock cap in use - for now anyway, I'm keeping the AFC.
Reason is that it's kind of easy to accidentally adjust it - and I hate fiddling with things, plus I found it easy to oversquonk and get leaking out the airholes - something that never happens to me with the stock cap.

The other reason is the relative cap/chamber sizes. The afc version is larger and I find it gives slightly less flavour than the smaller single fixed hole cap. If I were running a single coil, and variable air wasn't an issue for me, I'd go with the non-afc cap on the cyclone.

Sorry no pic but so far my go to build on both my RM2 has been 7 wraps of 26gauge at 2.5mm working to about 0.7ohms. Nice flavorful vape and about 4 draws per squonk!

Odin
Dual 26G 6 wraps 5/64 ID

RM2
Used to do 6 wraps 3/32 ID of 24G, before my Odin with zero issue and it was great! I rebuilt it a few days ago and omg was it hot hot heat.

Maybe I'll try 8 wraps of 26G at 5/64 I hate 1/16, the wick is too tiny for the lower ohms I like.

 

[Myah_June2014]

Great pics all! When I make new threads lately it's coming up bold & big, don't want anybody to think I'm yelling lol! I just click 7 like I always have & that's how it turned out

This is a hard question; first reo is using a .9ohm 24ga single 1.4mm (that's millimetres) in a Cyclone. This is my go to for my Cyclone, love it.
Second reo has dual coils at .4ohm 24ga 1.4mm in a Plume Veil. Again, go to build for my Plume Veil.
Odin is on his way, I'm thinking a .5 dual parallel 28ga for him, but we'll see! That kind of atty deserves to test out MANY different builds.

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

I'm with ya, brother - still awaiting the odin but already twisted up the duals for a .5ohm net build with 28.

I'm of the 'different builds for different atties and juices' family, myself. I find I get progressively aggressive with my vaping as the day wears on. In two hours, I'll prolly be tailpiping my RM4 with pluid (thanks, again, for the supplier tip).

I'd like more info on this. Does Rob post anything?
For now I'll check my watts more closely.

I often use 1 ohms coils for RTA's and that's about as high as i prefer to go.
The few RDA's I have are mostly b/f for the Reo Grands. I prefer the quick response you get with sub ohms.

I did have a 10amp car fuse block setup but I much prefer the new spring for consistency.

edit; just checked; a .25 coil will pull 64 watts. Actually i was surprised how cool that vape was on the origen2, and so far the .5 coil at half that wattage, doesn't have as much oomph (quick response), but will definitely do for short runs.

 

[Tony Spectacular]

No question. Single coil for sure. I alternate between a RM2 (on my mini) and a Cyclone with Fusion drip tip (on my Grand), and on both I find that no matter how many variants I try, I always get the best vape from triple twisted 32g (just twisted normally on a drill, all 3 at once) on a 1/16 mandrel metering right around .8. Great vape, hella flavor, reasonable battery life. No show stopper, but I'm always happy with it. On the RM2 I like to angle the coil so that the squonkhole side is about twice as far off the deck as the nonsquonkhole side. I don't know if it improves the vape, but it keeps that damn wick out of the hole.

My sweet spot so far on both REOs with RM4s is 28g kanthal, 11 wraps on a 14g needle running dual at .9ohm. Don't have a good pic to show tho. But it works well for me
