Like I tell my techs, the only dumb question is the question that was never asked. Yes you can use them on anything that's rebuildable, just build to the resistance required.

OH, I SEE!!!! Well I didn't ask a question! Sooooooooo, darkzero, what are you inferring? hmmmmmmmmmm? :glare:

I have an old Bully dripping rba that has been sitting around. Thing is tiny to work with and I'm getting pretty blind, so it's kind of a pain in the ... to build.

You really owe it to yourself to try the rebuildable that Rob (at reosmods.com) sells. It's got plenty of room to work, a ceramic base, and, having tried several of the rebuildables, have to say it's the best vape I've ever had.

Nice bottom feeders. Never got into them. The RBA does look easier to work on though.

Maybe you should give them a try, you won't be sorry. If you don't like it, you can always sell it in the classies.

(ROFL Sometimes I just crack me up! The odds of THAT happening are one in....a very big number :) )

I usually tell that to people too, fully knowing that it's a ploy. However, when I was buying my first Reo, it was a great comfort to know that if I don't like it, I'm not really out much money.

Come to think of it, I did sell one of my Reos, but that was just to buy a different one from Rob :)

I made my 1st true micro coil this morning. I am STILL vaping the same cotton in it, it STILL vapes the same heavy vapor, same great flavor, so much so that the hit is almost too much! I can't remember exactly how many wraps but I think 10 and it measured 2.1ohms. I gotta say this.... don't drip ( you can... I guess ) something you aren't sure about because the flavor is so intense that Butter Toffee is just too sweet ( wait... did I just say that?) I was trying something different than dark coffee juices and see what it got me... GROSS!!! I am HOPING that the coffee flavor I normally vape mutes that flavor. Luckily I dripped it rather than putting it all the way through because if nothing else all I have to do is change the cotton. So anyway just wanted to update you all on my coil building escapades. :) Thanks to all of you for doing all the background work so I didn't have to!! :)

Come to think of it, I did sell one of my Reos,

Yeah, when I fell off the wagon, I sold both my REOs (Black/Black Mini and Grand, with spare blue doors). They did sell fast. Then when I hopped back on the wagon last month, I realized how badly I missed them. Now I'm fully stocked back up on my REOs (one for each hand and a spare), and won't be selling them again!

photo(49).jpgso here's my 1st micro coil, inspired by meeting super x yesterday. It's 10 wraps on a 14 gauge needle but I think this is a much thinner 14 gauge than is recommended. I used flat wire ribbon & the ohms measured 1.3. About to take the first puff!

& it tastes a wee bit burnt, perhaps I didn't saturate long enough or this micro is too micro. The wick was mighty tight when I pulled it through. It is tasting better as I squonk & hit though I think a re-wicking is in order. Vapor is immense even with a not-so-fresh battery, 3.6 v.

Nice! That my man, is a nano :). See if you have something just slightly larger to wrap around. And try to get the wick so there's just slight resistance when you pull it thru.

I also figured the secret to the clouds the homie was blowing yesterday - real slow, long draw, don't inhale, just slowly exhale. If I was a video dude, I'd make a cloud vid :)
