Newbie...Wet Behind The Ears With A Few Questions

[gotarace]

I assume you mean the pics were fail, not the coil

Exactly...that coil building went from intimidating to easy with the first attempt. Thank you to everyone in Reoville for the awesome posts and how to video's {super x}making coil building a snap. I went with 28 gauge a1...9 wraps on a 16th inch bit and ended up with a 1.1 ohm coil. Nailed the cotton wick first attempt and hit vaping nirvana shortly there after. I'm going to up the ohms on the next build to around 1.5 and give that a whirl...hell i may need 5 reomizers just for experimenting. Thanks so much for the guidance and i'm sure i'll be asking more questions in the near future...

That's a beauty, Len. Yes, coils become so easy one does it just to tinker... enjoy.

Looks good!

If you are not getting as good a vape as you like, you can adjust the coil further away from the posts (closer to the air source). Close to the posts like you have it will often produce less vapor and TH.

Then you can adjust TH by lowering it to get less TH or raising it to increase TH.

Here's a little drawing showing where I try to place my coil:

Thank you Super X for the suggestion...i had some tails bent up on the back of my coil... I extended it over the hole it sure made a substantial difference in flavor and vapor production!! Your videos and tutorials have made my first Reo nothing but a fantastic experience...Thank You and everyone in Reoville!!!
