First off, this is my first rda. Think i've got the coil glowing evenly now, but i'm still a little concerned with the ohms its reading at. It's kinda jumped all over the place, started at .18 (think I was doing it wrong) and now its at 28-29 according to both my Revenger and my ohm reader. Not sure what the stock coils that came with it are supposed to read at, and i'm still just generally confused as to how I install them. Do I put the leads in all the way and then screw down? Or just barely put them in and then screw down?

Those Allen wrench looking tools that came with it are leg gauges. Slide your coil into the long part. Then cut the legs flush, or just a tad shorter than the short part of the tool. Then place the coil with the top of the coil flush or just a little shorter than the top of the RDA. (The airflow towers).
As far as the fluctuating ohms make sure your 510 pin is tight on the bottom of the RDA. Then take your coil out and try again. Make sure the screws are tight but keep in mind you can get so tight you snap wires in the coil and cause grief.
I have also found that wicking tighter worked better for me.
Edit: As far as putting coils "all the way in", I always make sure my legs aren't touching the bottom of an RDA so it doesn't short out. Ideally legs should go just past the screws of an rda. Just enough to grab securely.
Hmm, maybe I need to cut a little shorter then. Cut them to the specifications on the rod and they were still a little bit above the airflow towers, and that was with me pushing the coil as far down as I could. I think it's safe to just put them all the way down to the bottom? At least it didn't short out for me when I did.
I found just a mm or two shorter worked better for me. I watched the designer of the RDA build it and when the coil was just a little shorter than the towers he said it was perfect.
I found all these single coil metal covers gets hot if I chain vape on it continuously. Especially using exotic coils. I use 22gauge round SS wire instead, it helps a bit on cool down in TC mode. But you might be interested in getting the new plastic caps for the recurve as they tend to be cooler.
No. It should not get scorching hot. I have brought my Recurve upwards of 70w, and never has it gotten so hot that I couldn't vape.
If you want easy consistent leg lengths on your coils in this and all postless RDA's, google 'coily tool', I use 2.5mm on the Recurve.
My stock Recurve coils always come in at 0.24ohms if it helps.
your wattage may be too high for the recurve i shoot for 2.5 - 3 volts
the coils that come with are nichrome 80 .24 Oms
they won't short out if you put the leads to the bottom of the deck.
i cut them 1mm shorter than the tool for the perfect height
