It's been 2 days kinggirl...are you still struggling with your build??
If you want, I can wrap up a couple ugly
coils and drop 'em in the mail to you. What resistance do you prefer?
I've had mixed results with micros and cotton, but the "Rob Endorsed Ugly Coil" with silica has never let me down.
I use a double strand of 3mm silica. Hold the 2 strands even with a straightened paper clip. Wrap the wire pretty tight, mount it, then remove the paper clip. This give the wick room to breath and keeps you from accidentally strangling it.
I use 26awg kanthal. 4 wraps = .5 ohms, 5 wraps = .6 ohms. If you use 28awg, 4 wraps = .8 ohms, 5 wraps = 1.1 ohms.
I don't like going more than 5 wraps on an ugly coil in the RM2, you run outa room. If you need a higher resistance, use a higher gauge wire.
