Yep bad flavor and only on semi-lengthy drags - quick vapes taste great on every coil I make. but once it heats up to that glowing leg = bad flavor

Know what you mean. I dealt with hot legs when dealing the AGA-T2, RSST, and SS Mesh.
As FB mentioned, it should fire up from the center of the Microcoil. Legs going to the Posts should not get red at all. After you wrap the coils around the drill bit, and then slide it off the bit ... are you squeezing the coils together as you blow torch it??
i'm not doing any of that anymore, i'm using the coil gizmo
but when i used a drill bit yes that's exactly what I was doing...also tried several times without squeezing and blowtorching.
Its obvious that they aren't spot on as you have a hot leg problem.... IMO a micro coil is less likely to have a hot spot or leg as opposed to an ugly coil... After a micro coil is wrapped and mounted, pulse fire then run whatever mandrel you used to mount the coil back through the coil a few times will eliminate any hot spots you might have... This can be found in Russ's video's.... It's not a myth, its fact....
When I say it's spot on I mean prior to mounting - the coil gizmo produces some hellacious looking coils. perfectly tight and even. and I have been doing the mandrel trick - which has WORKED on my 10wrap + coils, very well. but not on less than 10 wraps

Can you take some pictures of what's happening, or do a video?
let me see if I can make a video tonight...i'll put on my hot dog hat and sunglasses
and vape like a rock star
actually both coils are 10 wraps right now but I'll throw on a 1 ohm coil and see what happens

Nothing special or acrobatic. Just 30seconds showing the problem.

Just throwing out some thoughts here.... What are you using for a mandrel? Are you using the mandrel for mounting the coil? Are you pulling on the mandrel inside the coil after you tightened your post screws down? Sometimes if you move the coil without the mandrel inside it still, the coil ends can go all catiwhompus...
I'm using the second smallest rod with the gizmo (~1/16) and yes to all questions. I pull it out with the mandrel after tightening - then retighten and do the pulsing, then put the mandrel back in and comb it etc
Topless dancers in the background wouldn't hurt, though
....topless doggy count?
everything I do is big smoke
This is a quick example shot. when I build a coil and the legs do not line up perfectly with the post holes, I bend the legs on the mandrel to line up with the post holes before mounting and doing the fire and squeeze. This keeps the act of mounting from pulling on the coil and making it wonky, it also allows me to exactly position the coil relative to the air hole.

hmm ok, I'll try that tonight
by the way - if that were to save the day - and I wanted to venture down to say .8 ohms to give that a shot - is a 1/16th air hole big enough for that? and 6 wraps of 28g? or is that so few wraps it won't vape well
Depends on how warm you like the vape, But I do go that low with 1/16 air hole. With .8 and lower I prefer to lung hit and I find 1/16 too tight for that. With my Chalice RBA I'm not going to drill them larger than 1/16 so I let a little extra air in around the drip tip so I can lung hit.
FB I notice the coil leg on the right goes under for you. Mine goes over. Does this matter - for the RM2?
now I notice superx's is like yours, too...

Umm... I always thought one leg from under and one leg from over... Never even considered there could be another way

The under over is controlled by how you start your wrap, over or under. When both post holes are at the same level it does not matter. When one hole is lower than the other it just makes it easier to make that leg on the bottom. Most mine is controlled by the fact I'm left handed.
ok gotcha - then I think I'm doing it right for my particular RM2s, cause i've got the under wrap oriented to the lower post.
damn, thought I was onto something
