Thanks to the tutorial from Super_X, I present the first micro for my RM2. 30ga, 8 wraps, 1.4mm ID, 1.3Ω. Suggestions/critiques welcome:
That is a PRETTY coil there CB! Well done! I honestly cant think of anything to critique.
Just made this little fella. 30 kanthal, 7/8 wrap at about 1.5ohm on the 14500
Sure does light up purdy!

KAY, so . . . got out the 24g and the Dizzie-Jig. Wrapped a straight coil. No torching. check out how clean and tight that thing comes off the jig! Then I moved the little stop-collar up so as to support the coil up to a breaking point @ 3 1/2 - 4 wraps, slipped in a drill bit, bent 'er. Nice jig!
There's no verdict, per se. I didn't get the 24g Kanthal to compare, I got it to compensate . . . .
no, not like that.
The 25 was lame, limpy, whateverish. So, I figured, if I was doing 6 wraps of that, at .4+Ω, I could do an 8/9-ish wrap of 24. (you and me, we likes us our ~8/9 wraps). I am, however, liking this quite a bit, in the early exploratory phase. Obviously, it takes just a scintilla (HEY! ←spelled it right, first try!) longer to heat up. So, I guess it's (←btw, just checked on the "it's vs its" thing . . . of course I had it backwards) like Supe describes his 27g. If I take a short 3-5 second hit, it's like the 26 Nichrome (only mellower . .. ?). But if I do a 8-9 second "PBusardo", it's . . . . . . . . fullfilling.
I'm likin' it. Try it, Orang.
Do it.

^ Spoken from an experienced wrapper and "Poo Flinger" spot on.
Finally got some 28 Nichrome. 9 wraps at .5 ohm. Not as much vapor as I'd like, but definitely a difference in taste and th. Gotta don't a little tweaking on coil placement.
I'm surprised that 9 wraps of 28g Nichrome nets you .5Ω.
8 wraps of 26 Nichrome nets me .5Ω
?

Well that's what my vamo said, not sure if its correct. Maybe more towards .7-.8 I also got 26ga I'll be trying later.
Your right seeing as I'm using 28 gauge Kanthal vs Nichome but it's a 9/10 wrap in dual at .6Ω which would obviously be 1.2Ω in single.
I wonder if the Vamo is not reading accurate.
If so, it's not in a good direction! Getting a higher resistance reading could mean a bad connection or dirt. Getting a lower reading . . . .. eeeeek. (a little short, perhaps?)
No. You go to your window . . . changed my mind, my ape friend. Straight 10/wrap coil on the 24g. . . . . . ..
DO IT NAO, Xobeloot!
(it's VERY good)

What's the resistance on that one? We've got 20g Nichrome at work! It cuts the film on our stretch wrapping machines.
20g Nichrome sounds a little thick.
The resistance on this is just a nick under 0.5Ω
This thickness may not cut plastic (?); but it seems to provide a gentle and incredibly flavorful and satisfying vape.
