Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

[Awkwardly Awesome]

My friend makes fun of me for trying to get it perfect, I'll keep removing the top cap and adjusting the the coil until it's perfectly squared and centered with the air hole.
Yes, I'm like that

I just added an o-ring to the top cap threading. It makes it very easy to just line my air hole up with my coil, so now I can place the coil almost perfectly centered between the posts and super close to exterior wall. Plus it makes it easy to remove the top cap without the entire RM2 wanting to unscrew from the REO.

Yes that works great, I have one RM set up like that.

I think this idea is worth a try.

What dimensions on the O-rings you're trying?

Thanks.

I just ordered a dozen from Rob that come with the RM

 

[Awkwardly Awesome]

I just grabbed an o-ring at work that looked like it would fit. It measures 10mm inside diameter and it is roughly 1.5-1.75mm thick.

OK, I'll dig around and see what I can find.

Geeez,

I ordered some 28 and some 26 ga. Kanthal A-1 from these chaps yesterday. I inquired as to whether it had been shipped yet, this morning. Here is the response I got.

Makes me glad I order 100' rolls. I've never seen them out of stock on this and they ship super fast....hmmm....I wonder if the vape crowd is depleting their stock.

Who do you order your wire from?

 

[Treebeard]

Who do you order your wire from?

I ordered from TEMCo. If you feel comfortable giving me your mailing address I'll send you a few feet to tide you over....if you're in the states. Just PM me.

You can get them at Home Depot in the plumbing section!
I know because I got some. You can get a box full of orings for $2.50! They have all sorts of sizes.
I got some 8mm id size and stretched over the bottom of my RM2 to fill the gap where it meets the the top of the juice well of my mini. Makes it look cleaner with no bottom gap and doesn't interfere with the connection plus gives you a little more room for an extra turn to line up your airhole to line straight up as you vape.

Thanks for the tip Rudy. I'm headed up to Home-D this afternoon to pick up a load of PVC pipe, this will work out good trip-wise.

Thanks, again.

When I went to order this exact gauge it said on the page "Ships in 5-6 weeks". And that was last week. I can't imagine it had changed. Temco is usually very good about being upfront on their status. My last order, they forgot to send me my 26g Nichrome roll and I emailed them about it, I had a response in less than an hour and had a tracking number for the new roll in less than 2 hours.

Next time I should read all of what's there, obviously I didn't. Oh well, this too shall pass.

I would like to thank everyone for showing me the way to get enough .32mm wire to fit in my AGT to get a high enough ohm coil to work on my provari. I have almost 4 inches of wire wrapped 11 times around a 1mm to 1.5mm SS wick coming out to 1.6 ohms.

Lesson: never order wire from "chaps"

I bought some wire off of eBay from fiveapes04. It was in the mail the same day and at my door 2 days later. Iowa to Michigan.

Apes good, chaps bad.

I will make a picture when I recoil one of mine. I usually burn my coils before wicking them and if you put the cap on before burning, you will actually see the red glow through the air hole =)

Promised you a pic, here it is.
I meant seeing the coil through the air hole quite literally =)
