26 gauge duals is what I use at .4 ohms.
Kgd...
It wicks better and it's easier to be consistent with the amount you're using.

I've had my Odin for a little bit now, and it's okay. I actually prefer the RM4 over it, because the RM4 has an edge when it comes to flavor, and it's less top heavy to boot. The Odin takes the cake as far as ease of build though, I quite like it for that.
I'm going to give it some more time, but I may just throw it up in the classifieds by the end of October, we shall see.
Cheers

I'm the opposite. I actually threw my rm4 in the trash because I hated it.

Just proves that there is no one magic RDA for everyone is all.
I think they are both fine for lung hits. The Odin being more solid, and "solid looking" to boot. However the caveat is that it is a top heavy/chunky RDA on the Reo. Small detail, but whatever. I'm not done with it yet... but it's not anything "earth shattering" to me over the RM4 at all.
Cheers
I had the same problem with my 2nd one. I set it up ala Russ's video and it was whistling. Closed off the airflow a little and it stopped. Re-coiled and wicked my 1st one and moved the coil closer to the air source and there is no whistle. I think it is best to get the coil as close to the air source as possible on this atty. Its too bad coils and wicking last 3+ months in my atty's or else I'd re-coil and wick the 2nd one already...
Maybe because Russ uses router dt!
Craig: hinthint *winkwink*
Thanks for that tip muzic! I'll try it out!

On your next build, you might move the coils just a tad inward.
Too close to the AFC slots also encumbers the flow of air, which may lead to whistling.
That' interesting. I have found just the opposite. I set up my 2nd atty with the coils further away from the AFC and it sang like a jailbird. Closing the AFC off half way keeps it from whistling now. Just set up #1 with the coils closer to the AFC and no whistle at all with the AFC open all the way...
Yes, it's all about finding the right combo, which works for yourself.
For example, I have both AFC slot wide open on both of my Odins, as with all my other RDAs.
ETA: The elevation of the coil(s) also affects the performance, as well.

what I am about to say not only applies to the odin but to any dual coil larger atty.
I've seen a lot of guys say that these atties are great for big lung hits but not so much in the flavor department and I can see how one might come to that conclusion and develop a pre conceived notion towards this thought, but this is simply not true. I'm all about flavor and I have even went to the extent of modifying atties to alter there chamber size and alter air flow characteristics and I can tell you that it is very possible to get a dual coil atty to taste every bit as good as a small single coil atty, just with double the density and double the vapor.
a coil itself makes the same flavor regardless of where the coil is mounted, the atties job is to extract then condense this vapor and deliver it to the user through the drip tip and how it does this directly translates to the end flavor and vapor you receive... the same exact coil may deliver great vapor and flavor in one setting while tasting pretty bad in another... sometimes the difference can be as little as 1 or 2mm out of ideal position but there is no difference between these coils, just differences in the way the atty extracts and processes it.
if I build one coil and mount it in my chalice I can get absolute peak flavor and vape from it, an awesome vape that is pure bliss... well now if I build 2 of the same exact coils and mount them in a dual coil atty and run them at exactly double the voltage and with each having as tight of an airflow as they had in the chalice then I can get the same blissful vape in stereo, double the vapor with same great taste, just more of it.
where many guys are going wrong with duals is #1 doing this on a mech is a whole different set of challenges because you have to alter your build to extract double the power, and altering your build alters the flavor. that and the pre conceived notions leads many to believe these larger dual coil atties just can't provide the flavor like a small chamber atty can. well trust me, you are wrong... these dual coil atties can provide every bit as good and flavorful and enjoyable vape or I wouldn't be using them. I get a delightful vape from my chalice at ~ the 20 watt range and I get equally as flavorful and enjoyable yet thicker denser vape from my duals in ~ the 40 watt range...
for those that are of the belief that the dual coil atties can't produce the same flavor I'm telling you that that's your problem in the first place, that you believe that. if you built your first single coil and you couldn't get a good vape then you'd try and try again until you figured out how to get it right. well duals are the same thing. first you have to know that awesome flavor is possible and then you have to tune your vape till you get it there if that's what you want. this is much easier to do on a regulated mod than it is on a mech but it is very possible to do on a mech too... you need to play with wire size and air flow rate just as you would have to get the single to where you wanted to be in the beginning but it is very possible to get just as great of a vape maybe even more so because of increased density and volume, only thing that gets sacrificed is battery life as your going to be using and consuming more power

most guys run duals with big air then complain they get no flavor, like duals have to have huge airflow... tighten the airflow helps big time in the flavor department 
I agree with turbo. I'm getting such good flavor from my Odin. My taste buds get pretty wonky sometimes and I can't taste things correctly when I'm in a flare, but when the flare is over and my buds are back to normal, like they are now, I can taste perfectly and right now my Odin is kicking some serious azz flavor wise with my Boba's. I had heard the same thing about the larger atties but that isn't what I'm experiencing, at all.
I have been using my 2 Odins with an unflavored nic base and I may add a tad of fruit flavoring, if so desired.
For full blown flavor, I'm still using my Paradigm Magmas on my other mech mods until my BF Magma arrives.
