Appreciate your acknowledgement earlier. And glad you went for it.
I'm still a KGD fan for those devices it works well on. It's just a few as I can't handle the constant rewicking effort. But ceramic fills that void for most of my devices. Just wait until it breaks in. If you rinse and dry burn it diligently it will blow your sox off.
The thing to avoid is building up too much accretion on the coil itself; then…pigment solids can pile up faster than they should in the wick fibers, so…
Preempt the gunk!
Visible accumulation on the coil should be a signal that you're reaching saturation limits within the braid beneath it. This inhibits heat transfer then less vaporization, less flavor. So deal with it (the gunking). Can't distinguish the coil turns? Time for a quick dry burn and rinse. You'll have a stark white wick all over again!
Stay on that octa and there will be some happy rewards.
Good luck.
Hmmm i miss rxw. Problem is, I have a 28g twisted TMC running KGD that im attached to... (.3-.4ohms) and these current coils just arent positioned right to throw some 2mm rxw in there... but i have some 3mm, and getting the woodvils soon, so i can use my extra nuppins
anyone got a killer setup of dual twisted with the 3mm? pics would be appreciated... last time I tried it, i tested the coils with kgd before throwing some 3mm rxw in... I had too many wraps... i think it was 7 wraps around a 2.5mm rod. Slow heatup @ 0.7ohms... I wanna shoot for .3-.4 ohms... so probably 4 wraps?

Readyxw is so good w/ single coil + regulated geyscano. (1.4 ohms at 24 watts) Have been vaping that exclusively for one week +. Probably gonna switch reo back to lower ohm kgd dual coil setup soon tho.
Decided to try something new last night...
dual 6 wraps of twisted 28G around a 3/32 bit for my 3mm in the Derringer.
RxW has never been so flavorful!!! 0.3-0.4 ohms is awesomeness

Drop your wire gauge b4f and maintain your surface area. RxW is ceramic, it'll disperse heat more efficiently than any organic but it's got to absorb it first. It'll act as an insulator at first before it becomes the baking pan. Once it does, inside a second, it makes very good use of the energy it takes in. For 3mm I roll 8-turns, 24awg on 2.5mm for about .3Ω. Produces like a ,2-.225 build with a temp feelin' more like 4.0Ω. You could try 8 or 9 counts of 26 or 27 if the .3Ω sounds a bit warm to you. But put the wire on the wick b4f, as much as you can. Nextel loves it.
Good luck.
RxW is now going to be available in Jumbo size 3.5 outer diameter and 1/8" inner core. Just announced on website. They are taking a poll to see who has interest before going into production.
Just FYI

Bro, that is one mutha wick. You know the weave's diff between XC 116 and 132. I've never seen the braid. But if it's the same weave spec as 3mm (116) just a greater wall thickness, the flow could be amazing. Then 7/64" to 3mm Ø become more practical and in common with KGD winds we're already using for larger decks.
Thx for the heads-up rudy. Form submitted!

I just got the email this morning as well.
Count me in.
I pretty much am using only 3mm as of late. I'm down for trying the 3.5mm out...
Hi Mac,Drop your wire gauge b4f and maintain your surface area. RxW is ceramic, it'll disperse heat more efficiently than any organic but it's got to absorb it first.

What is your opinion on the difference in performance, flavor and heating properties between doing a single wire coil vs. twisted wire coil? I'm interested in your scientific insights! Advantage of one over the other?
Like to post a more complete answer as I think the question indicates the nature of a problem were seeing and have been in vaping. In part, what I set out to point out to folks particularly those trying to quit. In short, there ain't one way of doing things. Sorta like the thought experiment...if everybody's doing something different every time when something really different comes along would anyone see it? Suffices to offer up my post to Matty B re his innovation…
Good luck.

Morning folks! I just got some ReadyXwick and I haven't tried it yet. I have the 2mm and 3mm and my build on my RM2 is a single coil built with 28g on a 2mm Kuro coiler. Will RxW work on this build? I have only wicked my new REO twice so I don't want to mess it up!
Your coil build diameter needs to be either smaller or bigger. For 2mm go with 1/16" drill bit or 16g luer needle. For 3mm needs larger than 2mm coil, slightly larger. Maybe someone will chime in that uses 3mm wick as I use 2mm in all my atties. If you use 28g at 7/8 wraps on a 1/16 dill bit or 16G luer it will be around 1 ohm.
Ceramic (RxW) Wick Alternatives for the REO
Hey chill, mornin'. The 2mm bit is a tad big for slim RxW.
Symmetrical open winds are about the only thing that coilers are any good for. I don't care for 'em 'cause the result lacks tension and concentricity. But since some prefer open coils for bottom feeders it may actually be the only application I can see some sense to it. So you may be satisfied with the result. I would though strongly suggest you electrically pulse (anneal) the wind even if you are winding an open spaced coil. This will lend rigidity to your coil which is lacking without tension (internally at the molecular level) and induce alumina formation on the wire's surface protecting the coil from oxidative erosion. This ceramic layer which results will inhibit hot spots and serve to improve symmetrical diffusion of heat like a baking dish.
Think about taking your diameter down to the 1.5mm bit with RxW slim. Reason? Coilers don't impart any strain so winds will expand slightly off the bit diameter and the coil will end up larger than 2mm. Kilned RxD is thinner than it's raw unprocessed dimension and needs to have some squeeze (deflection of its surface) to perform well. Think squeezin' the end of a garden hose. If you wind on 1.5mm you'll end up somewhere around 1.55-1.6xmm depending on how fast and consistently you wound with the coiler.
Reconsider torching if you are. This damages the wire by depositing carbonizing (soot) which is not thermally conductive (restricts heating) and is electrically conductive making the wire more susceptible to shorting and hot spots. Rather than internally balancing the internal molecular geometry which tension winding accomplishes it may instead introduce thermal inconsistency.
You may want to look at the thick RxD (3mm) on the 2.5mm bit for singles for more flow potential, at lower resistance. I happen to like the slim and it has adequate flow in tanks right up to 25W with 28-32 AWG.
Oh, and yeah, leave a little tail with either wick diameter. It doesn't permeate well but at its cut ends RxD will scoop up any excess like a vacuum cleaner. So don't cut right to the wind. Opposite the juice port, leave a little hang.
Good luck and consider tension winding your coils. Particularly if you go dual. Most efficient coil you can produce. Shape and wind do matter.
Good luck!

LOL, that's about where chil will end up, that 16 blunt spec. I introduced the 2.5mm Ø on this very thread. In less than a year it's gone around the world. Dunno now with like 200 peeps around (besides the lurkers). We all loved the pictures.
G'luck rudy.
