I picked up a VV from the classies. Not having used a VV Reo and thinking about a 2 ohm coil how many wraps does it take and what gauge wire should I use. Thanks Reonauts!
How many wraps does it take

On my VV's I don't use the small coiling, I just free wrap about 4 untouching coils right onto my xc-116. I can't remember what guage I used, and I think it is about 1.5ish? It's been a while since I have had to make one for the VV's so now you have me wondering 
ETA: yep, they are about 1.5ish. My guess would be that I used 30 guage?
crap, now I gotta go meter some for ya

By using the "Steam Engine" vaping coil calculator found at the hyperlink of my sig line, you can generate coil data to produce any coil wrap count/resistance/gauge you want - from supertrunkers 4 wraps of 32 on a 3mm mandrel... to 11 wraps of 28 on the same mandrel. ;-)
You're welcome. It pretty much obsoletes any lists or spreadsheets, except perhaps in the case where one wants to see what others have had success (or failure) with. Dampaskin has done a wonderful job of it... and a tremendous service to all those that are RBA users/experimenters.Thank you for the link, I didn't know about that one
His "added information" - which in conversations with Dampaskin he wondered if anyone would find a practical use for it - has turned out to be useful as well. A few days ago, a question asked prompted me to use Steam Engine to generate some comparison numbers regarding the length of coil tails. It can be found here.
