rba (bottom fed / dripper) basics to help you understand RBAs and Rebuilding in general terms :)

Thanks buddy! Hell of a great vid to introduce beginners to rebuilding; especially for building on a bottom-feeding device, but also for anyone new to rebuildable drippers. I liked seeing a micro next to the old standard.. really shows why they are called MICRO. While the coil is comparitively tiny, the performance boost is HUGE.

I like this chart; really helps keep things organized...
I believe the "gauge" stands for blunt needle gauges...
Gad they must have machines for the millions of tiny coils they wrap on conventional atomizers; in China...

How to build an authentic micro coil video tutorial.

Also here's a size chart to define a micro coil by the inside diameter of the coil. It's in gauge/inches (Decimal) and metric :)

thanks Supe… i was prepping my cotton or hemp fiber with just one teeny tail through the coil and pulling the puff thruogh, i guess causing wick to clog in there too tightly. and having uneven shoulders.

btw Reo nauts… correct me if i'm wrong, but "squonking" a Reo … didn't it used to mean sucking on your drip tip as you squeeze and getting a "feel" for when the juice got to the coil of the old school conventional attys (510,306, i06, 901), the pressure changed when it got to the coil… versus just blind squeezng?

and Supe, did you say "fresh juice "squozen" on demand" …. ? :))

well you'd know better than me… i stand corrected.
btw Supe et al, how much squonking do you use for RM2?
I mean can you just keep feeding as much as you want as it drains anyway? nothing worse than dry hits on sub ohms coils with cotton puff.
Yep, I said it :). But squonking is the act of squeezing the bottle. The method you describe is blind squonking :)

resume squonking

New improved cyclone / IGO video micro coil tutorial :)
http://youtu.be/lUodSPmI0js

Beautiful. Perfect video for someone to watch before attempting their first coil, you touched on everything needed for a perfect micro coil. I love how you discovered that putting the jig in after firing reliably makes it glow like it should. Almost looks like a magic trick lol, not sure why it works but it does. I used to fire and squeeze until it glows right, which also works, but this is simpler.

Very true about how we can control the throat hit by adjusting the vertical position of the coil. I like a little more TH than you, so I typically aim the coil right at the middle of the airhole or a little higher. Totally adjustable for preference.

Another thing I do, which has been covered in this thread, is make a few extra wraps because my first couple start out crappy. Then unwind the first few wraps by pulling on the wire and let the jig rotate between my fingers, which also keeps the coil tight.

Btw, what did the resistance turn out to be for that coil?

I just give it a good 3 second squeeze every couple of hits. I also keep an eye on the airhole - I tilt the mod so the airhole is facing me and slightly angled down and squeeze. When I see a little juice bubble at the airhole I know it's good for a few hits.

I also noticed that Sometimes the RM2 doesn't drain all the way. I think it's because there is airspace under the ceramic deck ?
