RM2 Question

[QusieQ]

For all you RM2 users (patiently waiting to receive mine) about how many wraps of 32 Kanthal to get 1.5 ohms?

Also, just curious ``what ohms do you like to vape at? I realize this is a little different for everyone.

# of wraps depends on size of wraps. I usually wrap my wire around a piece of 3mm silica doubled over like in Robs video. I wrap 4/5 wraps then check with multimeter unless I'm going to be using the coil on 1 of my VV's then not so important since I just turn the voltage up or down to compensate also I mostly use 30awg since its more durable and easier to work with IMO

you can measure the resistance before you wrap the coil.Just bend the wire and then measure from the bend along it with a meter; when you get roughly what you want - bend that too. The bit in the middle is what you wrap around abcd.

Hey Q,

I feel your pain. I actually went to a b & m close by and paid like 3 bucks a foot for some Kanthal to practice making coils before I got my 1st rba. This thread RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

should help you and answer some of your questions. One things for sure - it's easy. You can do it and do it well

depends on the wick you use etc - i use 32g kanthal, i'd take a stab at 3 or 4 on silica wick. Maybe more if you make a mesh or cotton ball wick.

i run a couple of grands and i like them to be in 1.5 - 1.7 range, for no other reason than that's about 8W. Much less then that and i fry juice.

Also some (most i guess) devices will not fire at all with an atomiser under 2, but a mechanical will.

This is all helpful, thank you!!

I use 32 gauge Kanthal and I usually end up with about 5 wraps around a small screwdriver (about the size of a round toothpick,) and I get about 1.5 ohms. That'll give you an idea.

Actually that's closer to the 10w range since your Batts start out at around 4.2v but who's counting

If you ain't vapin' at 18 watts you might as well be suckin' on a candy cigarette. (Huh, wonder if that's why my cotton wicks only laster an hour before they burst into flames. Now I use asbestos wicks, less danger... no chance of flames.)
