You also are freaked out by the feeling of cotton balls? If so, you are the ONLY other person I know of with the same reaction.
Maybe I can get my sister to twist the cotton. THERE.
There's allot of things that feeling them freaks me out

Not going there...
I hate touching it. Its gives me goosebumps. Worst feeling in the world.

No kidding? Wow...perhaps it's not that uncommon?!
Sorry...don't mean to hijack this thread.
REALLY? please double check. Thanks, fullsleeve
I ohm'd it a few times just to be sure and I got a really nice dmm. that was only my second coil. ohm'd using positive lead on positive terminal and negative lead on thread of atty. still learning about this stuff but I read on one of these threads that's how to ohm it
This is a great idea! I'm perfectly content with my Rob coil -- for those going the micro-coil route, this thread will be very helpful.
Glad I'm not the only one (besides Rob) who is content w/ Robcoils!
In the spirit of the thread here's mine:
Wire Type & Gauge: 30ga kanthal
Coil size (what you wrap it on): Doubled-over 3mm silica
Number of Coils: 4
Measured Ohms of coil: 1ohm
(Don't laugh....It vapes great!)
RM2
26 AWG Nichrome 60
8/7 wraps touching on 1/16 drill bit (micro coil)
Cotton wick
0.5 Ω
Edit two days later. Duplicated this (8/7 wraps on a 16 gauge needle, 0.5Ω) but with a fingernail's thickness between wraps. Much more vapor and flavor, but get some popping and have to squonk more often.

RM2
26 AWG Nichrome 60
7/6 wraps touching on 16 gauge blunt needle*
1 mm Ekowool (ZERO flavor-went back to cotton)
0.9Ω
* a bit larger diameter than 1/16" drill bit and
the smallest I can get 1 mm Ekowool through

RM2 on Mini 2.0
11 wraps pulled really tight while wrapping.
30 ga Kanthal
~1/16 screwdriver
1.78 ohms
RM2 on Mini 2.0.This is the best tasting of the five I built yesterday AND it is the one where I cut the juice by 1/8 bottle using VG this morning. I have about 9 hours on it. I think it is 11 wraps, 30 ga, on ~1/16 screwdriver, wire pulled really tight while wrapping. No fiddling after by heating and squeezing coils together. 1.78 ohms. Tail on left does not go into cup although it looks so in picture. Right tail just barely touching cup. Very sweet FSUSA 50/50 double shot Butterscotch Almond (cut with the VG). Checked cap hole and it is significantly closer to left post than right, from center of posts.
I think I'm in first stages of confirming that position of cap hole and position of coil are making a huge difference for my coils and juice taste with my RM2s.
Also, perhaps the added VG is keeping coil from gunking so fast.
{edit} Rolled cotton wick was tiny when I inserted it. I juiced it up before putting cap on as it was so loose in coil. This picture taken after about 9 hours vaping on it. It's amazingly not the usual gunked up. The more experience I get under my belt, building microcoils and rolled cotton wick, the less often I'm needing to dryburn coil and change wick, same few juices, except this one has a bit more VG than normal. Before microcoil and rolled cotton I had to dryburn once or twice daily with silica wick, non-microcoil (I'm not sure if that was a "standard coil" or not
.) I'm getting two full days out of microcoils and rolled cotton. Most usually vape around 1.5-1.7ish on mechanical REOs.
Tails on this one longer than my favorite tasting above. Not sure where cap hole lines up with coil.

In freaky like that too
Now, ya' see that there? That's precisely the difference between me and the Supe. I just lick the palm of my hand.

.................
Wire Type & Gauge: Kanthal 30g
Coil size (what you wrap it on): Supe's 17g needle (Thanks Supe!)
Number of Coils: 10
Measured Ohms of coil: 1.9
I like a cool vape and am using these on minis that take 14500 batts and a hornet RBA.
Apparently, after comparing and measuring with a ruler (too lazy to go dig out the micrometer), my paperclip leg I always use is pretty darn close to the 17g needle.
Yes, I 'shopped the pic a bit to make it a little clearer. I'm also too lazy to deal with my camera that would take better pics than my iPhone.

I followed Super X's recipe--
14 wraps of 27 g. Kanthal A1 on a 17 ga. luer blunt needle. Made the mistake of doing it right after 4 cups of coffee this morning and I know better than to build a coil then. As if my dexterity isn't already a bit.......shakey.
Anyway, in spite of all that, my coil turned out very nice. Metered at 1.3 ohms and is the best vape I've had to date. I was pretty scared of trying to thread the cotton through that tiny orifice but it only took a few trys and it was a done deal. Fun stuff!

That is awesome Roger
. Hell yeah man. You show that wire and cotton who's the freakin boss bro . I like it.
Thanks, Russ. I owe so much of my progress to you and Statistic. I'll get my good camera out and figure out how the macro thingy works again and get a pic here sometime.That is awesome Roger
