You the man Xobe! Excellent video and I will attempt my first double wrapped 41 later tonight.
Thank you so much for always helping us out. I love micro coils and cotton and I have learned how from you, super_X, and pdib.
Have a great evening!

Thanks for all the information and great humour guys, received my Rene 41 today so I guess the fun and frustration begins.
once you get a feel for the wire, it becomes quite a bit easier to work with. Don't be affraid to heat and quench this one to get it to hold shape.
I just posted this in a co-op thread, thought it might be of interest here:
Build 3c made it 72 hours without a single tweak! It was a little harsher than my gennys, but not in a bad way, I rather liked it. Kind of like inhaling cigars vs cigarettes.
Tore it down tonight to experiment with Renee 41 wire. Heard some good things about it and decided to give it a try. It is rather springy stuff so you need to use some tension when making your coil, consequently it doesnt lend itself to AO wicks.
I built a simple jig for it. Lock down one end of the wire under the screw, then stick a #49 drill bit in the hole and wrap your coil.
Grabbed the loose end of wire with a pair of channel-locks and was able to get plenty of tension when wrapping the coil.
10 wraps and done....
Did the squeeze the coil in some tweezers and torch routine, and installed. Didnt like how it loosened up at the top so I took it back out and retorched it after taking this photo. Only this time I torched AND quenched three times. The curvature of the leads held their place perfectly, they snapped back in like a glove.
Wrapped some raw fiber around the coil, threaded it through the negative lead loop to get a good wrap.
Filled up the cavity with my cut and saturated fiber. Used a syringe to pull out the excess PG when it got too messy. Was able to fill all the nooks and crannys very precisely.
Russian 91% Build 4
Vertical Nano Coil, R41 wire, Hemp packing.
27g R41, 10 wraps around a #49 drill bit, 1.2 ohms.
Dry burned the coil before wrapping it in fiber and it glowed even from the middle out.
This coil is like a tank, it will stand up to many wrappings, might have to use a cutting torch to destroy it. You wont bend it by accident, thats for sure!
I burned most of the PG out of the fiber while test firing with the cap off, so I had to prime it once to get it going.
It is hitting strong now with no flooding or dry hits, still a turbo vape but the harshness is pretty much gone. Must have been a difference in the way I packed it vs build 3c. I suspect it was because I was much more careful to get several wraps UNDER the negative coil loop. I guess it could be the wire but I doubt it. I think the main advantage of the wire is the lower resistance and the tank like durability.

I haven't used R41 in a while. You are correct Mike. R41 is the only wire that I will intentionally heat and quench while holding pressure so that it will bend to my will!
Thankfully I know a guy named Will who made a tool to bend my R41 (goofy monkey)
It really is a great wire. I honestly never lasted that long before rebuilding for laughs, so I couldn't really tell you how long it takes for a coil to degrade to the point of necessary rebuild.
I'd say I'd build one and see, but I don't think it would play nice with my drilled post holes. I've somewhat doomed myself to stick w/ mundy's wire.
I may drop a few bucks and get some unmodded triangles for the posts and top caps.

does this stuff come in 30g? I have the 27g in a r91% 1.1 ohms but it seems to take a while to heat up compared to my 1.4ohm 30g kanthal core.
Well, I finally got a DC based atty (from my homes, Treebeard). This is opening up some possibilities on the limitations of 27g René. Nice little .45Ω jobber here. BTW some of the REO folks are starting to grind down the tops of their gooseboxes to be able to fit any atty on there. (drilling out the atty for bottom feeding) Gotta admit tho, next step is drilling out the post holes and seeing what I can dual up with some o' the Mundy.
Oh, I'm calling it that . . . . . set up for dual coils. (I guess all our atties are DC . . . direct current)
I talked with VaporRater at length about René 41 last night on Click, Bang! We talked about the wire, and mentioned some of the amazing things you guys have done with the wire in this thread.

Just to clarify, I didn't have it anywhere near my face when I pushed it that far!
It was to see if the electronics would hold up and what would happen to the temps of the batteries.
Commonly referred to in the electronics world as a "smoke test"
I had to lay off the R41 until i got DZ to make me a coil jig to tame the stuff and some better, more macho tools for wrangling it. Happy with the vape and longevity of my 0.64Ω build now.
As for twisting it...you're on your own there!
