Yeah but it last so long and has a clean taste, dry burn and go. I've got over two months on my current wicks that is less than 30 cents a month on wick.

29 ga kanthal, spaced coil on a 1/16" mandrel using 2mm ceramic ReadyxWick, last forever only needing dry burns.
We have similar taste in coils - attys - wick - and resistance
30g 4 wraps around 3ml RxW (with mandrel inserted) ....
On my unflavored rig this set-up will vape trouble free for 100ml easy.
I don't understand all the love for tiny coils. I have switched from 2mm to 3mm mandrel for my 21-22mm atties and have noticed the vapor has doubled and the taste has improved. My current standard coil is dual coil, 5 wraps of 26g on a 3mm mandrel In a Zenith clone or Quasar clone. I have also found that by not pitching my coils together I no longer have dry hit or burning issues. See pic for explanation. This wick has been used with 8mls of juice, the coil is over 100mls. Coil resistance .324^ powered by VTC5. 49.38 watts and no burning! (Based on 4.0 volts under load) do not try this with imr2000 mah or other sub-standard batteries.
Just for the record 1/8"= 3.175mm so the I.d. Of my coils is just under 1/8th.

I might have to try a single coil at 3mm on my RM2. Looks nice!
Parallel coil of 28 gauge Kanthal 3 wraps around a Q-Tip shaft and wicked with 3mm Ready Xwick.
Ohms in at .45 and is a beast.

i'm trying to decide what coil to build next. my current is 9 wraps or so of 28g kanthal around a 5/64 drill bit - 1.3 ohm. so, larger diameter = more vapor and flavor? if I bump up the size of my drill bit and do 6-7 wraps would that be rocking? (all I've got is 28g kanthal)
Sloth, watch a youtube video on parallel coils. It's the greatest thing since REOs. 
Before I had the reo I would have said the smaller the coil the better, but now i'm beginning to think the bigger the coil the better. Bigger coils hold more wick which means you get a more flavourful vape in my opinion. I tried microcoils in my RM2 but simply wasn't satisfied as i like to take long 4-7 second pulls, and after about 3 seconds i notice the hinting of dry burning.
Double twisted 30g Kanthal using the Artistic tool (2nd smallest) to make 9 wraps gives me a steady 0.92-1.10, and with KGD.
I love my quintuple, mega twist 32g/24g backwards sliding, flip it and reverse it...um..ok who am I kidding.
I'm thrilled when I get 1ohm on my 28 g Kanthal A1-about 8.5 twists on a luer and I can't even remember what gauge the needle is 16, 18..something like that. But, I hit 1.0 every time and it's great using KGD!

30 gauge on a 1/16" drill bit, around 1.9 ohms or so. Igo-bf atty. No big clouds around here but lots of smaller ones and plenty of flavor
I learnt something here - that pic makes it look like the coil is miles away from the air hole, but in fact, its within forty thou (1mm) or so. Optical illusion. I got so intrigued, I had to take another pic of it, from a different angle...

dual 28 gauge micros wrapped on my wiring jig setup as a sleeper build (dual coils all with a single strand of wire). Super easy with the Trident, 5 or 6 wraps each at .28 ohms. Coils aren't huge, so not cranking the vapor, but its a pretty warm vape and has absolutely zero delay between firing and vapor.
The final output of the Reo on a fresh VTC5 is more like 3.85 ish volts, so your watts are probably more like 44 watts or so. I didn't calculate that, thats just a guess, but the Reo has a fair voltage drop (compared to a standard tube mod in brass/copper) but its better than the 3.3 ish volts that it used to be!
Plus, your final voltage drops as your ohms go down, so on a fresh charge with my .28 build, I'm probably down to 3.4 or 3.5 volts. Don't ask how I know, its just my understanding from surfing the threads over these last few months
Because the resistance of the mod itself (contacts, springs, etc) is in an electrical series circuit with your atty, the voltage drop across the atty and your mod will equal your battery voltage. The closer your coil resistance gets to the resistance of your mod (meaning lower) the more voltage gets dropped across the mod instead of the atty, that's why the lower your atty resistance gets, you get less voltage (voltage drop) to your atty.
Yeah, it's because the atty is in a series circuit with your mod contacts, springs, etc. So the lower you go on your ohms in your atty build, the closer you get to the resistance of the mod itself, more voltage is lost to the mods resistance. In a series circuit, the voltages across all the loads equal battery voltage

Haha might as well be speaking Spanish at this point, all I know is, is that the reo is a heck of a vape and we can all day amen to that
