I'm counting 18 wraps in that micro coil. Nice!

Thanks Jerms! It's 2.3 ohms but hits like about a 1.2 ohm standard coil
Crazy 18-wrap-coil Martha Forschner!
Just got home from work. No fair, you kids having fun without me! Nice wikicoil, JayLo! I gotta confess, my "O"-wick was just for fun. I had said I didn't see much value in U-wicks; so I made an "O". It worked fine. Seriously, tho, with the xc-116, you can do just about anything you want. It wicks VERY well, and takes any shape (bent, or standing straight). My setup of choice these days is super minimal. Did I already post it here? xc-116, 26 Kanthal, .6Ω.
(sorry if pics are a repeat, I've posted them a few times)

BTW s_X_d, I'm stealing your tilty-uppy over the goosing hole idea. I saw that a while back in the REO forum, too. First build is gonna have to be a micro with the slant!
(I can't believe it's thursday! which means tomorrow's friday! which means JOY!)

Russ, I think I figured it out, why micro coils hit harder than their resistance.
Up until now I was making my micro coils sparse, at about 1.5 ohms, and was wondering what you were talking about.
Tonight I got bored, and made a dense micro coil like yours, where the loops touch. Made it with 2.5 resistance just to try out your insanity. Lo and behold, it has about same TH, vapor and flavor as my old 1.5 coils. That had me scratching my head until I decided to meter it under load.
1.6 ohm. So, 2.5 ohm without power turns into 1.6 ohm when you fire it. I'm not sure why, possibly because Kanthal expands a bit and makes contact with other loops, thus shorting, kind of.
My next experiment will be getting a second RM2, and setting them up side by side -- one with sparse coil at 1.5, the other with dense at 2.5, identical wick, position and shape, and comparing the two vapes.
Now that is ding-dang interesting!!!! I do tight packs too, thanks to supe-x and jasl90. So you think its like a controlled short? Makes sense.
Damn straight, brother
Sad to say, my wife (yes, I blame her
) created a stamplessness in our house, so your wicks didn't hit the mail til midday . But, its on the way.
Sergey, I find that even when you and I aren't bored we find time to test ideas
hell, it was only a week ago when we tried to vape micro coils without wicks (don't try that at home folks - it sucks). Great info bro ! Now looking forward to the side by side results
Just an FYI. you can't directly take an resistance resistance reading under load. The only way to do it is to use two multimeters... One to measure volts and another to measure amps. With the two measurements you can then use ohms law to calculate the resistance.
If you took a direct ohms measurement while applying power to the coils, your measurement wasn't accurate.
Oh. Hmm, back to the vapin board I guess
Just as things started making sense.I guess I'll have to measure it by battery life, since I'm not quite fancy enough for the two multimeters bit...
If your meter is pretty quick... You could position the probes while firing and then check the resistance at the moment you let off the power... Never tried it myself, but it's a thought...
Stuff a little cotton around it. I tried the spinE setup using a vertical coil on my chid and it worked well. I guess it has a wick though...just outside the coil.

Well tonight I figured I would try out a cotton setup. SOOOO much easier to build then silica. 1st try ever with cotton and it came out real nice. 2.5ohm coil here.
Yes but with a vamo (at least) it keeps firing for .5 seconds after you let go of the button....just to make it more difficult for y'all.
