The Nicoticket Approved Delivery Device Advice Thread

[gopher_byrd]

I'm just about ready to pitch my baby and the rm2 out in the yard!!! To start things off, I've craved cigarettes all day long! I don't know...I guess I just want to taste tobacco. So I decided to put Wakonda in the Reo. The taste was off. So I tried dry burning the coils and they look rather funky so I decided to rebuild the coil. 28 gauge, 6 loose wraps on a 2mm screwdriver. That gave me 1.3 ohms..ok I'll take it. Wicked it with rayon, don't like the taste so I wicked it with KGD and now the draw is too tight. Plus, the taste is still not right. Gurus, what am I doing wrong?? This is frustrating!!

Sounds like coil positioning. You want your coil close to the air hole in the cap and even with it to maybe just a little above. At least that's what works for me. If you look where the air hole lines up it is slightly closer to the negative leg, the leg closest to the squonk hole. Try adjusting the coil a little and see if that helps. I'm contemplating a new coil on my RM2. If I do I will post some pics tomorrow. Also SuperX has some RM2 build vids over in Reoville. Check them out in the stickies.

GB, you're a genius!!! I raised the coil just a tad and now it's perfect!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I have tried literally every coil on the planet except the straight time consuming ones (all the multi-wrap/twisted/weird bends and so on) and honestly I go back to a straight 26g or 24 g gaped micro coil (can be single or duel). The gap in the coil helps keeping the cotton from burning out and the increased vapor makes me happy. Flavor is well not that great since I run everything wide open. I think the most important thing is to experiment until you find what works for you. My go to is a duel coil 26g Cyclone build with the AFC cap wide open. Coil position is almost always slightly above the air hole. As GB said I try to get my coils as close to the ports as possible. The other possibility might be insufficient nicotine/vape delivery due to the ohms being to high. I have not run a 1+ ohm coils in months since it's not satisfying for me.

Just purchased my first reo and rm2. Will be shipped out Monday. Woot woot

Congrats mah friend! Enjoy, and we expect some pictures, bad or good!

Poll:

If you just built a Nuppin...and the ohms seem steady, everything tightened down, but the ohms are about .1 above what you'd expect (.43 vs .3ish), and the flavor and vapor are off the chain, and you love the build but you're a little squeemish because you know that if you had added 2 wraps to your coils this is the resistance you'd get based upon a lot of prior experience...

Would you keep the build or chuck it? *asks while nervously vaping*

If it works I'd run with it. I'd get nervous around .2. Plus, is your ohm reader accurate that low? The one I have reads 1.45 when my regulated mods read it at 1.20....just saying....

Basically if your mod is firing I'm saying it's fine. If the spring of your Reo has not collapsed you're good.

Ohm reader's solid, spring's intact, ohms reading steady.43 - it could just be the center post screw isn't capable of going all the way down because it's stripped or something, I don't know. But it's very responsive, so seems to be a solid connection. Best build I've had in the Nuppin so far in terms of flavor. I'll run with it for now

You're ok. Spring will melt before you get hurt. I've been in the .3's before. [emoji4]

I have too, that's what's bugging me is this build should net right around .34 and it's not. I've never done this build in the Nuppin, but it should be no different really...I did this same build + 2 wraps in the Nuppin before and it was .45, I'm sitting at .43 with 2 less wraps x.x

Maybe a different twist pitch kind of deal too...

If you're worried about that Nuppin, you could send it my way and I'll test it out for ya...

Seriously if you are sure your meter is rock solid accurate you should be good to go. If the center post screw wasn't clamping down on the coil you would be seeing the reading wander. Do the coils move at all? Again if the center post was loose you could tell by wiggling the coils.

Nah, they seem solid. The ohms were wandering between .43 and .41, turns out I think the center screw was actually...too tight? Backed it out a hair and now everything is steady as can be, just weird. Btw I prefer .4 range anyway, I just wanted less wraps (long story for the reason) to experiment with something. Maybe the Sacred Vapor stepped in and blessed my Nuppin so I could achieve the experimentation goal without lowering the resistance

Actually vapin' ACB right now though...yum

 

[Filthy-Beast]

Roll with it an enjoy, the Nuppin hits harder than most, that's why you still love the vape. Remember the down leg adds to the total resistance so even though your wraps might be equal you total length from capture screw to capture screw might be longer.

I am going to go out on a limb and say twist pitch and you may also have the legs just a bit longer than usual?

Edit: FB beat me to it

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Yep I think FB and Penguiness are both right. I do think the legs are longer than normal and I know for a fact I twisted it differently. I used to twist slowly, speed up a bit, and slow down til it snaps. When I twisted this, I twisted full speed ahead from start to finish (remember I use the tesla twist so this is possible/not dangerous). I think its a tighter twist pitch, and lovely I might add. at any rate this is the best flavor I've ever had, and ACB rocks and isn't likely to leave this setup anytime soon. Thanks again peeps, have an amazing day!!!

all this recent talk of spankings...

 

[SpaceCase]

Not only that but I've had it for whatever reason depending on how it's clampled/screwed/bolted in place changes how much contact it may or may not have and ends up changing the resistance.
