Sure, here's what's in my Fogger right now. It's about .6 or .7 Ohm. That's kinda where I like to keep things for use on my mechanical mods.

finally through it all, many thanks to xobeloot, pdibs, super_x, magic mundy, zippy, you guys really made the jump from rebuilding kanger to rebuilding in general simple... hows the "fallen chimney" perform in the rm2? kinda interested in giving it a shot... really really digging the performance of the twisted 30 gauge micro i built earlier, kinda wanting to try a chimney style, or something else... not really sure... not planning on doing anything different now... but... my next build... i am interested in trying a different build on the rm2... any/all feedback welcomed

Ive tried the chimney a few times in my rm2 and cyclone and I honestly still favor the standard 10-12 wrap. I find that the chimney makes a little better vapor but I don't get as good of flavor. I place my coil as close to the airhole as possible and flavor is unbeatable thus far.
I'd try it though if I were you. It can't hurt! You may like it more and you get some good experience building something different.

Likewise, on my toppers, aqua clone included, with air hole just north of 1mm, I position coil 1 mm from air hole. Farther away tends to cause course TH. I think shorter larger diameter coils work better than long micro coils when coil is positioned 1 mm from air hole.

so have you made any other than standard coils on the rm2 that intrigued you? i know i am going to experiment, but what is going to be fun is when i get a grand and another rm2, the grand shall be a basic set up and then ill play with the mini, and try various builds... i think thats the best bet... that way no matter what i will always have a good vape at hand... instead of building one that might be horrid and being stuck wanting a vape till i fix it...

so for now i guess its just regular builds...

thanks again for the input...

ps i really want to make pdibs 4 coils in a square... that one was so cool looking...

Do you mean the o-ring that would fit sorta....across the wick holes? If so, I never use that.
I sorta initially thought it was there just to prevent shorting when using mesh, but other folks
DO use it to help stop flooding. With the build that I've got pictured, the only flooding I get
is a little bit during the initial fill.

Do you use that chimney Oring? Do you have any dry hits or flooding?

Being ~8* outside and this being vapor, any guesses on whether or not some clouds could actually freeze before they thin out? Very curious to try after some sleep.

I have tried that with a sub ohm dripper in a -10 degree walk in freezer. I just makes big flippin clouds.

So it's been a minute since I posted here but I've had to get the learning curve of going from a small deck like the cyclone to the big deck of the zenith. I'm glad I made the switch. Here's the agro coil. Thanks to rip trippers. It's a 32g, 30g, 28g, flat ribbon wire(.1mm x .9mm). Twisted with a drill. Wrapped 5 times at . 357 ohms. Happy vaping!

no but it practically turns to molasses... Damn these Canadian winters :(

I've gotten it to do that. I left a bottle in the garage. Lol

Hey, buzz, how do you get mesh to bend like in your dripper? Me and another member were scratching our heads...
