make the resistance higher which will give you a lower wattage. should be able to fix that
Well my Reos Mod arrived today in the mail. I just built a quick micro coils and threw it up in there. I can't tell if I am a fan yet. Seems like a warm/hot vape and I am not a fan of that
I will post pics in a little while.
Congrats. You may wanna wrap a higher resistance coil. That'll cool it down
DB, welcome to the ville and congrats on your new REO.
A couple of things, if you are using an RM2 open the air hole to 1/16 and get the coil right in front of the air hole. Keep the cotton to the sides and nothing underneath the coil. I like a cool flavorful vape myself and had to tweak my build until I got what I was looking for out of the REO. Now I own two
I build a 26 ga 1 ohm coil and it gives me a good amount of vapor, nice and cool and the flavor is outstanding.

Hang in there, dirtybirdy. Give it a little time. It's prolly a paradigm shift for you and will take a little tweaking to dial in the perfect vape for you.
Try different drip tips if you can - the longer it is, the cooler the vape; also experiment with dt hole diameters. You can also adjust the coil placement to affect TH, vapor production and some of the heat. Moving it up or down relative to the air hole(s) (not sure what atty you're using, suspect it's the RM2) will affect these changes.
Lastly, adjusting the resistance of the coil will change the vape characteristics - higher resistance generally gets you a cooler vape.
Congrats on the new unit and welcome to reoville

Grats on the new Reo! I probably built 4 or 5 coils in the first few hours of getting mine, I couldn't find the perfect vape right away. I was building the way I did with most of my other rdas and that style didn't work with my rm2. After different tries, I found a good sweet spot and then it was all about tweaking my wick. Now it's amazing and the ease and convenience of the reo makes everything that much better! Good luck and post them pics soon!
Congrats and welcome to Reoville. As stated raise the ohms of the coil and/or open the airflow
I built a coil on a 5/64 drill bit, 8 wraps, with 28g kanthal giving me a 1.2 ohm coil. I have a DT that is a solid 2 inches atleast as big as the unit and its nice with that. If I squeeze the bottle before I vape everytime then it is not to hot but if I do not do that then it gets pretty hot very quick.
I will try and build a 1.8 ohm coil although thats going to be like 12 wraps or so seems to big for such a small deck. I am using the LP RM2.

May be a dumb question but by opening the air hole is everyone meaning drilling it out?
you could just increase the ID of the coil which would result in less wraps and reach the 1.8Ω
or get 30 gauge wire

Captain Obvious reporting in: Can we see a picture of your build? You could have a simple coil positioning issue that needs to be tweaked more than anything else. If it's a RM2 you want the coil position as close to the outside edge of things as possible, and pretty much at a height that's in line with the air hole.
Yes drilling the hole larger. at 1/16 you get nice airflow in the Mouth to lung hit range. As you go bigger you start approaching the need to do lung hits.
That's an excellent point and I left that out of my post. I wrap on a 3/32 bit on all my REO builds.
Yeah, 29 or 30ga would work much better for your target resistance. 28 is for better for high sub ohm builds. You might also try a slightly smaller rod like 1/16"
Here, check this out:
Yes and it's weird - once you start lung hitting, and try to go back, mouth-to-lung no longer feels normal. So prepare to be a lung hitter for life once you step over that threshold.
That is what it looks like and I noticed I had my cotton over the juice hole so I moved it.
Conrats on your Reo.
Air holes - I'm a lung hitter... a long lung hitter. The three atty's on my metal Reo's have 5/64th and 7/64 air holes, and without them I think the vape would be pretty hot. The other atty still has it's standard small air hole, but I will try it on the 18650 Woodvil that is coming before deciding if it needs to be drilled out. I'll be runining higher ohm coils on the Woodvil, so it may not need drilling.
It's all about flavor to me so I have been using mostly 28 & 30 kanthal on from 1/16" to 3/32" wrap forms, and so far keeping my coils at 1.0 to 2.2 ohms and using KGD or CC for wicks. Even 12 wraps on a 1/16" form will fit on a RM2 deck just fine.
As said coil placement in relation to the air hole changes the vape. So does the wick.

Per Rickajho above, you'll want the coil to be as close to the outer edge as possible (without making contact with the cap), and positioned right in front (behind?) the air hole.
