Haha, we need to get some live chat going on - This thread will be full by next week at this rate.
I just couldn't resist on that last post. 
But seriously, I'm at the point where 28 Kanthal doesn't seem thick enough & 26 is too thick for my "normal" coils. Was thinking about 27 but I never tried NC yet other than some prewound coils I got with an A7 I bought when I started. Just wondering if anyone can tell a difference between 60 & 80. If not I'll just close my eyes & choose one.

I've only used the 60. It's fine. Buy it.
If we could taste the difference, we would be tasting the wire. Which we don't, cause we're too cool that way.

For me, one type of NiChrome has a distinct flavor that I hate. Unfortunately I don't know if it's the one with iron or the other. The type that was sold alongside the first Kayfuns from Swoemesto was good, the stuff that I got in a vapemeet later was awful.
The taste from the "wrong" NiCr is savoury, I think it is the reason behind pbusardo's "turkey bacon" flavor in Boge cartos, the description fits.

OK, Supe, found it. The bottom end, that is. Built a coil where the cotton can't keep up. Well it does fine for about 4 seconds; but I like a longer pull. So, here's where I found my "Road Closed" sign on this little highway of me and cotton and micro-coils. Mind you, not a problem! I'm very happy with my regular setup; but I was curious about certain allegations re: the REO not being able to deliver enough zip to your zap. The REO, btw, does it's job just fine. It can deliver more voltage than is necessary or sane.
26g Nichrome, 0.4Ω
It might not be the cotton not keeping up. It could be the bottom drain hole in the atty. Not enough juice on deck to feed that coil. Try to over squonk and tip the atty so it sucks air before getting all the juice.
Zero, too kind brother, no worries, I'm good. Thank you though. If curiosity continues to gnaw, I'll get a roll and if I don't like it I'll hook up another brother with it
Thanks
thanks, unloaded, and yes. I mentioned in another post that I know I could work around it; but that isn't my goal. I was just curious. I love me my high res. (.5Ω) vapes. Don't need to be doing this crazy kid stuff.
Hey Stats, btw, I didn't mean that your thread wasn't worthy......just any thread that's Newman related with him in it. Didn't want to steer off what was important there.

hmmm. I had no idea curiosity was gnawing . .. . . .

1000% understood you
If you build micro coils please consider contributing your info to this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/446263-micro-coils-ohms-description.html
Wrapped around the silica wick, just like in Robs video. Thanks.
Statistics spec was interesting.
My 28swg needing 5 wraps to achieve 0.76 ohms
Statistics 26swg needing 11 wraps to achieve 0.75 ohms
My slightly smaller bore is probably balanced by longer tails.
Excellent thread idea nerak for quick referencing.

Thanks! I realize the length of the wire will figure in also. But it should be pretty close for those just starting out. I drove myself crazy looking for the information when I started. All the different wire gauges and the coil wraps, then the size! Picked up bits and pieces from different threads.
When I posted that I hoped I was remembering the resistance correctly.. just remeasured.. it's closer to .7 on the dot
What's the id of your 28g 5 wrap?
edit- 1.5mm I see. Yeah interesting indeed. Very cool thread, nerak. Great idea collecting that info from everyone in one place. Very... (wait for it..)... scientific!

Pretty happy with this HV micro.
Kanthal 32ga, 17 wraps, organic cotton ball, 3ohms. VV Grand.
Special thanks to darkzero for the pics of the ERA clone coil positioning, this is way better than being scrunched off to one side.

I thought the same thing brother, I just always loved my shiny ss tube mods, but once you do get used to a box, it really is great.
