Short tails, closer to the air hole. Raise it for more TH lower it for less. I think most try to get it centered with the air hole. Test on ohm with cap installed to make sure you don't have a coil touching.

I just added a new step to the build process that really kicks it up a notch in performance, think I saw it mentioned in here, try it, you'll like it.
So I made my usual coil on the 2nd to the smallest mandrel(1/16 ish) of the Coil Gizmo. Then threaded the 2mm wick in as normal. I added the step of running the smallest mandrel through it as the last part. really opened up the wick I can see through it.

Anyone tried this in a Origen V2 yet? I have one on the way to me and am really curious how well it will work with it.

Hmm... Definitely sounds like a great idea FB... Makes sense too. Open up the middle press it against the coil...

Thats cool, you just made me take my cap off and look down the center of mine ..... nice and hollow.
Pretty sweet I probably would have never noticed. I leave my rod in until the very last thing then slide it out and put the cap right on.
I didn't realize when I jumped in here about RW that this is a reo forum but I figured that out pretty quick.
Don't own a REO but looks like a great device.
Here is my take that might help.
I build much differently on my attys. I use both 3mm and 2mm. I almost always use a butterfly loop since my main three attys are filler types. I know the deck space is much smaller on your attys but has anyone tried the 3mm RW with less coils and higher gauge. I have found that even though I am wrapping kanthal around 2mm and 3mm at 4 times your wick diameter, the 3mm lasts longer. The 2mm lasts for me but not as long. It seems to get more brittle. I am not feeding the wick through a wrapped coil. I am wrapping on the wick then mounting. My 3mm last longer than the wire and I use 28 gauge with it. 2mm gets 30 gg.
Just a suggestion. I heat my kanthal and wrap around the 3mm RW but not too tightly. I space as needed to get around 1.3 or 1.4 ohms. I also have very little to no frayed ends on my builds which "might" have something to do with the durability but I am not sure. Just a thought. I also get zero taste from RW unlike cotton which tastes like a dirty sock to me.

Yes, and it worked quite well. I'm at work right now or I would provide picks. 1/16th bit with the XC132 (or the 2mm thin ReadyWick) threaded through. I don't know about other flavors but the Origin V2 tastes great with heat favoring juices like NET's. The flavor with the XC was off the charts yummy. My only complaint is you waste juice doing dry burns due to the size of the drip well.

Not to steal your thunder FB 'cause you definitely hit on somethin' there. I've been trying to get folks to stick the needle in her since last year. Back in Dec I wrote
You see I was surprised people lost interest in ceramic fiber as I started to run informal scientific tests on this wick last Summer. Lot of misinformation and lack of info unfortunately. And that was a shame. So kudos for your observation Nextel works best when plumped up against the coil. I've forgotten to talk about that great feature of late.
Fact is this wick material particularly loves to have a coil that's closely mated to it. Darn thing flows internally like a fireman's hose. I'd say try it inside a 1/16 tensioned contact coil. Ya might be surprised what more tight and even coils can do on that surface.
Good luck.
Interesting Mac, I'm curious what your thoughts are on using this wick with Mundy's Magic because this type of twisted wire has tons of little burs (which give it amazing flavor) but because of that I don't think that the RxW sits flush against the wire like it would with the standard round wire (maybe it does, hard to tell).
I originally wrapped the MM directly on the RxW, but I did notice "Choking" (the wick took on an hourglass figure) and after reading one of your previous posts I decided to give my hand a try at wrapping on 7/64th bit and threading the RxW through. I think its noticeably better now, TBH its a flippin amazing vape, but I don't want to miss out if I'm doing something wrong.
I think that because I'm using the 7/64th bit to wrap my coil, which is smaller than the 3mm RxW, that the RxW fills up into the gaps created by the burrs. Make sence? Is that the right way to think about this?
Anybody else using MM with RxW? How are you making your coils?

I only use 3mm with 4 wraps of 30g ...... Its a nice 1.15 to 1.20 ohm vape every time. I don't see any reason to try the 2mm for the way I build my ugly coils. The set-up I use has been the best vape I've had in 4 years.
Oh and you should stick around a bit pt ...... and give a REO a try, its been a game changer for thousands of people.

I knew I read it somewhere but that it hadn't sunk in at the time. I will go back and try it on a micro coil and see how I like it. When I first started using xc-132 I was a micro coil only person and tried spaced on a whim and found it worked better, but opening up center might change that.Not to steal your thunder FB 'cause you definitely hit on somethin' there.

Hey SN, thanks for the query. It's a good ? Ceramic braid, I think all braids in particular, and all wicks benefit from a close fit. Less concern with cotton because it fills and bloats a great deal. Still, how many folks do you hear say can't make cotton work. The density has a lot to do with that. Too much you choke. Too little and you're vaping air. For example, Nextel's really firm and doesn't swell like Eko, silica or cotton, in that order of juicy->NESS.
Nextel has superlative flow. But you need the corresponding power to take advantage of that and not flood or experience an anemic vape in a dripper. That means an efficient coil (optimal deflection of the wick + coil symmetry). That's what I've been passing on to beginners with the tension winding approach, a correct electrical coil (no short). Ceramic braid responds proportionally better in efficiency (heat transfer) by delivering the juice exceptionally well. Marry the two, wick and coil, with the best contact for vaporization and you get the best vape ever. It doesn't hurt that it's about the most flavor neutral wicking material I've encountered (I've yet to try Japanese cotton, it's on the radar).
That said, I DO enjoy some knarly vapes as per the above photo of this craggy faced twisted 31AWG T/P D/C, 10/9, 5/64 vertical coil split on a Helios. But the greater the percentage of wire that's contacting wet wick, the less efficient that it is no matter how much we may perceive it's great flavor. You get a lot of vapor diffusion with all that heat. It often belies the physics. More denser vapor seems to always do the trick for most people. There are always exceptions. And if that floats their boat, what the
You're on course there mate. A 7/64th is near an ideal deflection for Nextel "3 mm".
Good luck SN.
Grrr just tried to order some 2mm to try out and there cc service rejected my card saying the address does not match. Well the address does match and now the money is on hold. My card is super slow to release this kind of charge so I guess I will try again in about a week
Unfortunately they need the EXACT way it's in with your bank. Dashes, full name versus shortened- it's a pain in the .... I had 4 chRges on my card before I got it right

Well...I give up. I've tried for quite a while to make a decent coil/wick and it's been a dismal failure for me, so i've gone back to my tried n true...and simple n easy.... CVS cotton. I guess i'm not the fiddlin type...quick n easy for me. I even bought an Artistic coil gizmo i was so sure I could conquer my ineptitude
I've wasted a lot of wire and RxW! And I still have over 5 ft. of the stuff!And I'm too clumsy handed to use the gizmo...woe is me....
live n learn i guess....

Ok... So old broad... What if I sent you a working coil with ready wick? Just screw it in, and use?

Does anyone have a picture of your build with readyxwick on a Rebuildable? I am wondering how long I should leave the ends. Sometimes I leave it too short that it doesnt even touch the deck so I was wondering how long you guys leave yours to get the ideal vape for yourself.
