Pushing the Limit

The REO just melted two buttons which is weird because it worked all day with no issues

I had to drill post holes bigger to fit Mundy's Magic on one of my RBAs. If you haven't already check out MM. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...92-alexander-mundys-magic-twisted-ribbon.html

I don't like how slowly thicker wire heats up. I've tried 26G, a definite no-go for me, as well as both bi-twist and tri-twist with 30G and 28G wire. In my personal experience, and obviously because of my personal preferences, a plain strand of 28G has become my go-to, mostly due to how quickly it heats up. If you guys want, I will gladly post a video of my current build being fired.

SWEET.

Nice build

Assume you drilled out a second air hole.

If that is the case are you kind of committed to always running dual coils?

Indeed, I did drill out a second air hole. Actually, I drilled out the second air-hole a while back when I was running a dual coil build at about 0.26Ω. That's the build that destroyed my Reo, or at least its functional parts. Mind you, I have five caps for my RM2; one drilled with one air hole, two drilled with two air holes, and two that remain undrilled.

I drilled it out to 3/32 today. WORLD of difference. It's... amazing..

For the subohm kit, I thought it was just kind of preventative for the button melting, no added performance?

The new kit is expected to almost entirely rid the Reo of its notorious voltage drop, as well as to supply a firing pin which isn't prone to oxidization and a spring with a much higher temperature resistance, which will eliminate "sagging" after some use at extremely low ohmage.

Check the ohmage again. Sounds to me like you have a short.

No short. Probably the metal band getting to hot.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

how big did you make them? could it be done with a pin vise?

Sure, I took the posts out of the RM2 held them with a pair of pliers and drilled them with a 3/64 bit.

No short. Probably the metal band getting to hot.

If you're still vaping a .7 ohm coil it should not be melting the button. So either your meter is off or you went with a lower ohm coil. Some people didn't see problems until they dropped below .5, others saw problems at .6. I think this has to do with how long you heat the coil and the variations in voltage drop from batteries with different internal resistances and I've read some springs have a lower voltage drop than others.

The coils needed cleaned. I just put a different one on. My other setups will hold me over until the new buttons are available. It's vaping just awesome at 1.2 now anywho.
Appreciate the feedback you filthy beast
