The Nicoticket Approved Delivery Device Advice Thread

Of course it is. Your finished twisted wire needs only to fit thru the post holes (unless you drill them bigger), so you might want to start with twisted 30 or 28g.

You'll easily be able to fit a coil in the gap between RM2 posts, i have a sofa in mine! Supposed to be really good flavour from twisted builds too.

Twisted wire is a game changer for the RM2, IMO. Thickest you'll fit is twisted 28g (I think?)...I used twisted 29g for it.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

Very doable, remember that twisted will drop the ohms in about half.

Life's been busy but got a new sort of approved device...

 

[gopher_byrd]

RipTripper used a drill with an Allen wrench in the chuck. I've got that.

I use a paperclip in the drill, that way I don't have to worry about the wire slipping off the allen key. The key is to keep tension on the wire and start the drill slow.

I'm running a triple twisted 30 in a RM2 as we speak, 6 wraps came out to 0.6 ohm. The Radio loves it!

Ok, I got my wire twisted, coil wrapped and installed....5 ohm's....waaay too hot for me. So I'm going to take it out, wrap a single wire coil and call it good I think. But...I have to try this first!! Lol

ETA: I tried it...the flavor is WOW!!! But there's no way I could continuously vape this with it being this warm unless I drilled out the air hole. Flavor is awesome!!!

to hit 1.2 ohms with 6/7 wraps I twist 32 gauge wire.

I'll have to get some 32 gauge. I have 30, 29, 28, and 27.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

with twisted 30 ga and going with 5/64 bit to wrap on it would be about 10 wraps to get around 1.2 ohms. I like to target 7 or 8 wraps for heat up time and with twisted 30 on 5/64 bit that would be around .9 ohms.


EDIT I use this http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp?si=false&s=dp&r=0.9&id=1.98374 You can think of twisted as dual coils for calculating ohms. How tight you twist will be a variable, tighter twisted equal more wire per inch.

 

[LynnNC]

This was twisted 28, 6 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit and it came in at .5 ohms. What did I do wrong? I'm not going to leave this coil in because 1.2 ohms is my sweet spot.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

that's about right according to the calculator. Try with 30 ga and make sure you have nice tight wraps

 

[supertrunker]

If you measure the length of the wire first...

[Sloth Tonight]

Yeah .5 on an rm2 is ridiculously hot...my sweet spot was around .75-.9 with my airhole drilled to 1/16th. But yeah using 32 g or 30g or something and landing around 1-1.2 will be nice, something about twisted makes the flavor pop.

 

[LynnNC]

Yay!!! 30 gauge twisted, 6 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit....1.1ohms...The Virus never tasted so good as with this build and some GCD!

Thanks so much for everyone's help!! You guys are the bomb!!!

 

[LynnNC]

The Virus was getting low so I filled the bottle with Wakonda. O.M.G... I honestly don't think Wakonda has ever tasted this GOOD!!! Now I'm going to have to rewick and try Strawnilla, GCD, Atlanta and Betelguese in this.

Lynn congrats!!! You go girl!!!

Next thing you know is you'll start watching Twisted Messes vids and start building Clapton, zipper, or caterpillar coils... Seriously, you have to build what works for you. Bet you didn't even think about building coils almost 9 months ago when you first started. I know I wasn't. 1 ohm, sub-ohm, pffft who needs that stuff, now look at me...

 

[LynnNC]

GB, you are absolutely right! 9 months ago? Try 4 months ago, I never would have dreamed of building coils for anything!! I'm rather pleased with myself! Lol

 

[Alawot]

So I've got the itch to add to my vape gear. Here is the stuff I currently have have.
3 Aspire CE5-S's
1 Aspire Mini
1 Kanger ST Mini
1 istick 20
1 istick 50

I wish I had additional gear because I want to be able vape a different flavor in a decent tank like one of my mini's, but then be able to trouble free switch back. I think I just need more tanks so I can give certain juices a permanent home.

On one hand I think another Aspire Mini or a ST Mini might do, but I'm open to other ideas. Goblin maybe? Or possibly something completely different?
I should mention that I've enjoyed using the RBA on the ST Mini. Some of you may have seen my posts in another thread, I built my first coil just the other day. I've been rewicking the factory mounted coil on the RBA deck for a few weeks now.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

[Filthy-Beast]

Well you are in thread all about Reos, I think that's a sign, so don't fight it.

 

[gopher_byrd]

Use the force Luke...

Like FB said, you're in the Reo thread. Don't deny the inevitable...
