I love micro coils and cotton!
Now this is heresy I know, but I hate my rm2! (ducks)
Just can't get it to produce flavor on par with Igo-L's, kayfuns, gennies, or anything else. Things I've tried:
1) regular coils gauges 30 and 32 kanthal 5/4 wraps with silica
2) about 25 different micro coils with 6-15 wraps at 1.2-2.5 ohms
3) coils closer to airhole
4) coils further from airhole
5) short and long wick tails
6) fat tight wicks, thin wispy wicks
7) small holed to fat holed drip tips
8) coils way above the airhole to almost touching the deck and everything in between (higher seems better)
9) handed it to my wife saying wow taste this flavor.. she says it tastes "muted"
10) inserted flavor gaps (aka pdib crack) in coil
11) drank a bunch of whiskey before vaping (ok this helped a little)
12) squonked and let sit
13) reverted to silica
14) tried ekowool
15) changed to fresh juice in case the juice in the bottle got cooked or contaminated
16) tore my hair out
17) tested resistance with a multimeter at the posts to see if there's a loose connection at the screw
I know there's nothing wrong with the Reo Grand but could there be something wrong with my rm2?
At least I've aquired a ton of coil building skills trying to get it tuned but I really don't want to give up. As ridiculous as this sounds, I'm thinking of buying another rm2. All my builds in my Igo-L's, klites, gennies, all produce a ton of flavor with the same juices.
Posting this to see if anyone has heard of someone having this type of issue before me. Also waiting on some 27g kanthal to try.
Now it does vape and produce tons of vapor but if there weren't so many people who love the rm2, from my experience I'd just have to say it's a lousy atomizer and something about the chamber gives unsatisfactory flavor.
I hope I'm missing something.
Today's build with focus on getting coils smack in front of the airhole. 1.5 ohms 30g Kanthal:
