Share your wick and coil setups for your Reo!

[muriarte]

Hi, I´m opening this thread for you guys to share your wick and coil setups for your Reo, since I´ve been having a little trouble finding what works best and have used a lot of wick and wire in failed attempts .

Please state on what mod are you using it, so we know if it works best on regular or vv Reos.

Cheers Reoville

• 32 AWG Kanthal A for the wire
• 400 SS mesh rolled and oxidized for the wick (about 1/4" long)
• ERA
• VV Grand

I like the drill bit method for winding the coil works good for ERA and genesis

Hey mudflap after doing some reading/research I was thinking the Mesh wick sounds like the best bet. This will be my first rebuildable atty do you, or anyone else, now of a Tutorial to set it up with the SS mesh? I've been looking but only finding ones for Silca/Bamboo/Cotton etc.
Thanks in adavance guys!

**Edit** Forgot to add that it is for the ERA

vv reos
32 AWG Kanthal A for the wire about 4 coils
2.5 mm silica wick doubled nothing fancy cut clean no hoops loops

standard grand I use 28 gauge wire 5 coils it will rips your lungs out Jim
2.5 mm wick doubled

I use a chalice - phoenix and some of my own rba atomizers

Curious about this as well. Such a tease!

Here's a vid on prepping the SS mesh

I just did a vertical wick and coil setup with the wire and wick from a previous setup that I did not like, it kicks like a mule at the vv lowest setting and vapor is pretty good! 1.7 Ohms.

Thanks for providing that link, Zod.

Rudakus, I'd just add that you need to make sure that your coils all glow uniformly when you test fire it with the SS mesh wick being dry. That will let you know that the SS wick is oxidized well enough. Hot spots in your coil produce a foul, scorching vape. Also, trim it short enough so that it's not touching the inside wall of your top cap on your ERA. Like an iron skillet, the SS wick will require some seasoning before the flavor pops. Vape a few mLs on it before you decide whether or not you like it. SS mesh wicks can definitely be fiddle-y, so if that's not your thing, silica or fiberglass wick also work well.

I have two native 801 Woodvils (which I adore) and no RBA's to fit them. How you sleep at night knowing this is beyond me.

Yeah me too quit holding out and spread the love my friend

I wasn't trying to tease well maybe a little . I have built a few but I am not ready to print any of them and mass produce them . I will keep dabbling if I make a magic atty I will print it and make them available to everyone . I have a feeling there will be plenty of them on the market soon enough

I don't no Tripp I should be punished . You no how many 801 atomizers I would sell if I built them lol not many . Why don't you just use a adapter ? . You could always send your mods in for a sex change

 

[Mudflap]

Heh. I tried an ERA on one with an 801-510 adapter. Can you say FrankenReo?

Sex change? Nah... these two Woodvils are special to me just as they are.

And yes, you should be punished.

 

[JC Okie]

I'm using 32 A-1 Kanthal, 4 wraps, #10 Aunt Lydia's Bamboo wick - 8 strands. Makes a 1.6-1.7 ohm atty for the VV Grand and/or (I use the same exact set up for both) the regular Grand on a Chalice and an ERA. Awesomeness....

I here you my friend the offer is always there if you change your mind

 

[urquidezj]

Oh man I smell a reo hybrid coming hehehe

 

[davelog]

32g Kanthal-A, switching off between square braid cotton wick and a skein of silica wick that I won in a contest, will try ss mesh once that's all gone. 4 wraps on a doubled wick set vertical in my Chalice on my oldschool Grand.

Rob, if your REO RBA ever gets to a beta test, this is me waving my arms and hopping up and down excitedly.

 

[Pete54]

32awg Kanthal-A1, 5-6 coils wrapped around 3mm silica wick folded in half. Before connecting the leads I put the loop around the center post, creating a juice well. Trim the ends tight to the coil.
