Great video Russ. Thanks for taking the time to feature the RM2. Camera clarity is awesome. Don't know if I'd put my Ohm meter on a tri-pod like that though. Looked like it would fall over easily. One big spill on the hard surface, and it's most likely gone.
I use the same 29g, and also find it to be fast to heat up; fast to cool down. Usually wrap it on a #50 drill bit or 5/64 drill bit. Both produce great flavor and vapor for my style of vaping.
The Odin is obviously your choice of atty, but where does the RM2 rate on a scale of 1-10 when it comes to flavor and vapor?
Thank you. I give The RM2 a 10 with flavor and an 7 with vapor when compared with the Odin. The Odin gets a 10-10. But it's important to remember that the Odin has dual AFC and dual coils. The Odin is also the only dual coil dual AFC I've ever run. Before that all my attys were 14mm single coil attys like RM2, cyclone, chalice.
The vapor advantage to the Odin is attributed to having 2 coils wrapped to the same specs as the one I put in the RM2. They are both producing their own vapor and both getting steady stream of air from the wide open air slots right in front of them.
The air on the RM2 can be one opened up to cool a lower res coil and produce plenty of vapor - prolly putting it up in the 8 range against the Odin.
I don't like a hot vape. I tend to look at a build like a two strike dirtbike:
Putting in Dual coils are like getting that new FMF gold series exhaust / shorty silencer. But now you got to open up the air box to optimize flow (open AFC) Then you got to rejet (wide bore drip tip). All those variables will affect heat and vapor. If a dual coil is restricted by not enough air in, you get a hotter, less vaporious vape (lean condition).
Once you dial in the intake, now you got to get all that vapor out efficiently with a wider bore drip tip to equalize things. Once it's all in tune, you are ripping direct lung at the same heat as your single coil but the looseness of the open AFC is negated by the thickness of the vapor.
I use as much / little juice with my duals because they are built efficiently. The wire heats and cools quickly. That's often overlooked by those who just think "thick wire is the manly stuff". Well I think of efficiency. If something takes longer to heat up you are preheating juice (while it's coming up to temp) but not really vaporizing it (waste) and what takes longer to heat up takes longer to cool down (waste and gunk) This creates what I call the rich condition in dirtbike analogy. Most coil gunking (plug fouling) problems are more likely a result of inefficient builds with wire that is heavier than the application demands and juice is carmelizing on the coil after the throttle is closed because that mass o thick wire is still cooking but no air is there to cool it because the rider is no longer on the bike (hitting the mod). These are just my theories though.
It's also important to note that my flavor is unflavored 10 mg nic in mostly all VG.
Whilst the Odin looks large and has ample space for dual coils, the chamber is quite small. It can also accommodate a single coil and the AFC is engineered such that it can be used as single coil AFC. That's why I got one. I intended to use it as single coil but once I saw how easy it was to install a second coil and how that second coil gave the vapor significant amplitude, I was ruined.
