First coil on my RM2. 28g kanthal clocking in at about 1.4 ohms. It hits greats and makes big clouds, but the flavor is not as good as I'm used to with my Cisco 306's. Any suggestions?

Coil looks awesome man !
Flavor - I would suggest that you experiment with coil location - try things like pulling it a little closer to the rim (and air source), little elevation changes (a little up, a little down) and give it a little bit of time to see if it livens up some ( breaks in)
Again, fantastic looking setup bro

Thanks Super. It's better this morning that it was yesterday after I first built it. I'm going to let it ride for as long as possible.
Greal first coil!
I agree, it is really all in positioning to reach the flavor you are looking for. The bottom of the coil will give you more TH and acidic base flavor (the sharp notes). The top of the coil will give you more smooth and sweet notes.
Yep, kicks .... Adds a bit of dimension to the vape. Can't explain it.

1.4. 27 ga Kanthal a1
. Rolled cotton wick. 16 ga on the small side tapered up to just over 14 ga on the big side. I like it Shot thru cyberspace with my iGun

Great looking coil!
I've been on an endless quest to get better flavor on my rm2. I've tried moving the position of the coil around quite a bit but I've had the most luck with the following:
1) Increase air hole size slightly. It's still smaller than 1/16 and I just used a nail.
2) Use just enough cotton inside the coil and no more. Fluffy but filling the entire inner diameter
3) Vertical coil that's tilted away from the air hole
I'd feel better if I included some pics but gotta get back to work pronto!

That looks fantastic. Is there a specific reason why you went with the narrow end towards the hole, vs. the other way around?
I've been using braided cotton like THIS which has made it much easier for my old feeble fingers to make my coils. I got it on ebay Square Braided 100 Cotton Wick 6 0 4 0 2 0 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 | eBay
I was thinking that if the narrow end is closest to the airhole, the air would flow up the plane of the coil rather than be blocked by it. It works nice, in that it appears to have a quick reaction time on the smaller side of the cone and a slightly slower reaction time on the wider side, adding a little dimension to my unflavored nic that I didn't previously experience. That's when I fire and hit right away, like I typically do.
If I fire for 3 seconds before hitting, I get the full fury of a 1.4 ohm micro.
I'm going to look for a slightly narrower cone now to see if performs differently with a smaller cone. I am also gonna try to go vertical with it on my next chalice rebuild with the big end on top

Huh, a kind of large scale capillary effect.... That makes sense. I'll play around with this a bit. I've felt that since I started with micros I've nailed the left side of the coil and wick, i.e. near the squonking hole. The right side, however I'm not completely happy with yet. I can't decide whether to let the cotton billow out (floating in the air), or touching the ground (leading to a wicking effect from that side as well). At the moment I'm doing the latter, but I'm unsure how well it works or how necessary it is.
It's fun playing around
