Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

[Xobeloot]

5/16 or 5/64? 5/16 is a pretty gargantuan ID. As for fluctuating... You have a loose connection somewhere. Check the legs and make sure one isn't loose.

I make mine for my VV device w/ 30awg kanthal, 17ga blunt needle ID at about 3Ω then crank it up

5/16, and you were spot on with the loose connection. Sitting nicely at 1.4. I'm happy with that!

Funny how everything I know about building and I missed the stupid stuff!! Plus after I took the picture, I noticed that one wire sticking up, so had to trim that too.

Ok, my friends, 5/16 is bigger than 1/4". Not sayin' . .. just sayin' . ..

I mistyped. Meant to say that 5/16 is gargantuan. 5/64, not so much. 5/16, certainly not a micro coil. Micro-style, sure. You need to drop that ID by more than half to have a true micro

approximately 3-4 seconds to full heat

that is on a fully stock mod w/ spring and SS pin. stand fast. I'll toss it back on my fused mod w/ brass pin

So my coil diameter is to big... Ok... That's good to know. So what should I wrap it around?

Hey all!

I decided today that I would try doing my first micro coil and use cotton with it. I'm not new to building in any way, but drippers ARE new to me as well as micro coils. Here is a shot of what I first came up with. Go easy on me HAHA, but I really would like some feedback. I'm thinking I may have to much wick first off. I biult it with 10 wraps of28 guage on a 5/16 drill bit.

My first issue is it first read 1.3 ohms, now it fluctuates between 1.3 and 2.0. It sure hits hard, but I'd like to do better.

That looks like monkey brains!!!
try wrapping on a 1/16th drill bit

What do you call that one?
If you don't have a name for it I would call it the slinky.

 

[Xobeloot]

Did a quad 30awg kanthal. Tight twisted then reverse twisted.

.5ohm

Vapes quite nice on an unmodded reo.

i name all my coils, too.


unfortunately, i'm too embarrassed to share the names, and, if i did, i'd promptly get banned...

27 ga Kanthal A1 wrapped around the .055" mold on the darkzero coil jig.

Fuse instead of spring = no arcing = no noalox = happier Russ .

Man you can build some beautiful coils. Dreary day today. If my hands will work right, I may just have to build some coils.

What do old people and slinkys have in common?







































































































































I don't know either, but they both put a smile on my face when I see one tumble down the stairs

Thank you . That build vapes perfect for me. The jig I got from darkzero makes it too easy.

Good luck to you . Plop a picture of yours on here if you get it done

That jig is the work of one of our members, darkzero. Just pm him to get you name on his list and get pricing.

Edit: And here is a link to a video by Master SXD using that jig: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...art-finish-video-using-darkzero-coil-jig.html

I'll vouch for the DZ jig. Love it!

I have a PM sent to DZ, hopefully I can get my hands on one. Curious as to what it cost?
