First try at the RM2

[oplholik]

Ok, ya gotta tell me what I'm doing wrong. There has to be something, this is way too easy and too much fun!



I do want a little more TH, so I think when I re-wick I'll make a coil with 1 less wrap. As you can see this coil came out to 1.63Ω. I'll try for between 1.4 and 1.5Ω. It is a little airy than I like, not sure what I can do about that. But all in all this is nice.

Nice work!

As you lower resistance your coil is going to produce more vapor, I would bet the draw will feel less airy with the increase in vapor production. If not then just use it for a bit, you'll likely just get used to it

You can also adjust the hight of the coil to give you more or less throat hit without having to wrap another.

Nice work oplholic. Very nice.

Sweet, coiling is fun I agree

I find it almost impossible to end up with a bad vape ..... even drunk coiling produces good results.

I'm with ya oplholik. Surprisingly, I like building coils. So much so, I just ordered 300ft of resistance wire from Temco.

more throat hit move the coil up (C) pdib - i'm assuming you can make decent liquid and you can obviously make good coils!

After watching the videos here I kinda like building the coils too. I find that 30 gauge kanthal at 7 coils gives me a 1.4 ohm, gonna try it with 28 and 32 a little later on over the next couple weeks and figure what I like best then order 100feet of it. That should last a good long time.

Great first effort. Do it again!

Ok, I got the vapor, and TH I want using a 1.2Ω coil, now I want to solve the airy draw. I'm thinking about using some super glue and a needle point to apply a very, very tiny drop inside the air hole to obstruct the opening. Do you think that this might work?
Won't hurt to try anyway, easily undone if needed.

That would probably work....and like you said, it could be easily undone. I've cut a sliver of a carto concom and stretched it around the RM2 to cover the air hole partially. That works, too....at least so you can try it and see if you like the draw better. Then you can go for a more permanent fix. I have gotten used to the airy draw and totally prefer it.

Good idea JC, I will try that first. Heck if it works, I just may use that permanently, that way it's adjustable.

Wow! Perfect soloution. Partially covered the hole and now it's perfect. Quick and easy, thanks JC. I'ma happy camper now!
