You're quite welcome it's been a nice resource for me to go back and look at myself.
30 ga Kanthal wire
16 blunt tip needle
6 wraps
organic cotton
1.2 Ohms
Save it with a bookmark! That is how I find it! Maybe Lisa will sticky it for us.
Doh I hadn't even thought of that! If nothing else it might be a good idea to stick it in the free reo post. It's a great source of info for someone trying to track down the right combo.
If you subscribe to it you can always find it quick. And also see if there is a new post!
It is in the REO forum Index thread.
6 wraps 28g on a 3/32 bit 1.0 ohm , not technically a micro coil but gives good contact area in diameter and provides the use of a larger wick, witch I prefer to the 1/16 micro size coil
I approve of this message.
Just bookmarked at any rate, but this is definitely handy for all of us on a regular basis. Or at least those of us who can't leave well enough alone and have to re-coil every day or 2 to try out new techniques, wire, etc...
I am new to Micro coils. I have a few quick questions that may sound, well, dumb.
1) From the looks of the descriptions given, the bigger the ID of the coil, the lower the resistance? So if I started wrapping on a 5/64's bit opposed to the 1/16th, I should be able to lower my resistance with a 28g, therefore enabling a few more wraps. Is this right?
2) What does the "x2" mean? Two seperate coils, or when you guys get all fancy and basically 'braid' two coils together?
Thanks!

bigger diameter = more resistance , so less wraps not more, X2 means dual coil two 1Ω coils will = .5Ω if you want to use a 5/64th bit and have low resistance I would recommend 26g 7 wraps will put you at .7 Ω
I am familiar w/ dual coils, just not micro dual coils, so wasn't sure if it was different. I'd like to find a few pics of some dual coil .5-.8Ω builds on the RM2. That would help me get a visual on how you guys are doing it, and having success.
Thank you for the response
Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH
Pictures of dual coils, tri coils, quad coils, and IIRC, penta coils. It'll take a long time to get through it, but it's worth it.

basically what I find is the length of the wire. I use my multi meter and test the restance of the length of wire trim it to what restance I want then I can bend it to any diameter I want or any shape I want the restance stays the same as long as you don't change the length. I don't count wraps i just use the length and a multi meter. makes it more simple for me
Those of use hat use the Z-Atty 2.1 with a ceramic wicks

4 coils wrapped on about 1/8" diameter wick

Don't get what I am doing wrong. I have tried 6 times to make a micro coil according to what I have read on this site and my results are very different. To make a long story short, using 32 gage kantha on a 1/16 in leg of a heavy duty paperclip 5 wraps gets me 2.2 ohms. I started with 8 wraps, came out 3.4 ohms. Checked with both a multi meter and a ProVari (only .1 difference between the two measurements).
32ga is way way to small of wire for micro coils. Try using 28ga or at biggest 30ga. Or if that's all the wire you have you can do a doubled micro coil. Take about a 8 inch piece of wire fold it in half then wrap the two pieces at the same time (side by side so to speak) that will cut the ohms in half so 6 wraps (that would be 12 individual wraps if you tried to count them but 6 wraps of holding the two pieces of wire together.) would put you about the 1.4 - 1.6 ohm range.

I think I figured out what I was doing wrong. What I was counting as a wrap was actually a wrap and 1/2. So my 5 wrap coil actually is more like a seven which would explain what I am getting for ohms. Kind of a DUH mistake on my part.
I haven't gone through the whole thread, but here's my contribution.
28 ga Nichrome 80. 10/11 coils on paperclip leg. 1.0-1.1 ohms per MVP V2. (Measured 1.0 at first, but after tweezering to tighten, measured 1.1)
Vapes good
