Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

[super_X_drifter]

sum 41 was in my mailbox today courtesy of the young dibbersnapper. I haven't wrapped a coil yet but I look to wrangle one up tomorrow got my micro torch filled and ready for some annealing and grunt work.

Thanks pdib

Annealing and grunt work, mmmmm
Just commenting to keep up to date with the mad scientist.

Rene seems to need more liquid than Kanthal - I need to find a way to get more liquid to the coil, maybe the diaper will work.
But the stuff is great - I like it. Thanks for the tip!

Very nice coil. Surprised how long it takes to fade to black once you release the button.....

And yeah, finished the song What's the title of the song and the band.

Moar CRACK!

OK, I am sharing. Just made one I am pretty happy with. Total noob and it's so easy to get started! 14 wraps of 30ga around a 1/32nd or so screwdriver. I can't really get a good pic

Cotton wick:

Started with three inches, with about 1/2 inch on each leg that I will trim almost all off, I expect 1.5 ohm. I have a fresh coil on so I am not testing yet.

good stuff there thinkingaboutit!

Well, my Rene 41 arrived in the mail today so I set out to make a coil...

From the way you guys was yakkin' I thought I'd be dealing with piano wire...melted my first coil torching it so I took the standard approach and just torched it regular like.

Wrapped it on an 18 gauge needle...you're right...it is difficult to work with but I found if I kept constant tension on it the coil would pretty much stay put (had a little straightening out one leg though). Did 10 wraps and mounted the coil (just a standard micro). Came out to .8 ohms so I cut the ends and wicked it (that's another thing...can't just cut it with my hobby snips...had to wiggle 'em off with my pliers...strong stuff).

And...the vape is pretty good. Good vapor and flavor. Liked it enough that I made another for my other Reo at around .89 ohms. I think I'll enjoy messing around with this stuff (I'd better for $.80 a foot).

Interesting how it turns black when dry burning...

thx, Xoofoo, working good!

You just need to wrap some barbs on that, pdib!

so I just re-checked my AW 18650s I ordered from RTD and they're 2000mAh when I ordered 1600mAh. I've been using them for 5 days... should I just buy new 1600s or return them?

I have some 1600s on order. If they send 2000s, I will call them and complain. They are different enough that RTD needs to know you can't do that kind of substitution.

Contact Randy and let him know. He has always been very good at making things right.

 

[KwhyLE]

Honestly, I might just order 2 more 1600s. It's not a HUGE deal. I mean I got $2 more expensive batteries. lol

 

[NicoHolic]

If you keep the 2000s and get 1600s, I'd be interested in your observation as to any difference in vape quality between them. Although others have reported the 1600 as better, I can tell no difference at this point with either a 0.5 or 0.8Ω coil. However, I could be called a compromised juror since I saw the real world load tests showing little difference in voltage under load along the mAH usage axis before comparing them for myself. In fact, IMO the well-used 2000s were noticeably stronger in VTF with the 0.5Ω coil until the 1600s got a few cycles on them.
