It does not.
I just got an Iphone...never had one before (my droid bit the dust). To keep my bill low I have a small data plan and was wondering if I use Siri if I'm going to burn through my data package and incur overages.

Siri doesn't run off the data plan. Unless you ask her to look stuff up on the net ;)

LOL...That was pretty funny.
RHP, ask your Siri to tell you a story.


Here's the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely Minis
All of them had hair of gold, like their Mini2.1,
The youngest one in purple.

Here's the store, of a man named Robert,
Who was busy with three woodys of his own,
They were four Reos, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group would somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Reo Bunch.
The Reo Bunch,

That's the way we all became the Reo Bunch.
The Reo Bunch.

Is anyone else as acronym ignorant as I am? I'm lost half the time.

My problem is I get it sometimes and when I meet up with it again I have forgotten! Like BTW (which I think is "By the way"), but down here it is also the Afrikaans for Value Added Tax, so that gets me totally lost.

GM (good morning):blink: Andre,
Springboks play Saturday I see...Australia I think. Someday I might actually understand the game.

Hi Laurin - That looks like a Stellenbosch picture. If I can understand American football, you can understand rugby - much simpler! But barbaric no doubt. I actually prefer cricket and tennis. Yes, it's the Aussies on Saturday. Ah, now I see, you have actually noted the picture as Stellenbosch. Mooi loop to you too.

Edit: A beautiful picture BTW.

Morning everyone. Well I did it! I built my first micro coil on my new RM2! First attempt it metered at .81 using 28g wire. Put it on my VV and would not fire. Well played around with it and adjusted and think I did not have one post screw tight. Got it wicked with rolled cotton and vaped great for first couple hits then I burnt the cotton! Figures! Re wicked and working fine now. I just have to get used to this squonking with it. I always used shorty cartos and you could see the juice start to come up into the well. With the RM2 you can not see the well because of the size. Is there a general rule of thumb??? Like three hits then squonk???? I think I was spoiled with the easy and convience of just slapping on the shorty cartos. This will be a learning curve for me. Guess I will have to carry around some cotton with me at all times!

Are there advantages of the micro coil over a regular coil? Does the difference only consist of the gauge wire and diameter of the actual coil? If someone could explain this it may help. I used 28g wire and wrapped around the needle tip of a blunt tip bottle cap. About 8 wraps. A standard coil would be how many wraps, what size coil?

Hi Cheri - from what I heard on the forum the VV Grand prefers 1.5 ohms and up to come to its full potential. I have the non-VV Grand. Cotton and I just could not get along so silica it is for me. Squonking, I have not counted, but 1 to 3/4 sounds about right. Fortunately it difficult to oversquonk with the RM2. Also, the lower the volume of the liquid the harder the squonk must be. Congrat btw on your first coil. Second one will be easier.

Good for you Cheri!

For the VV REO'S you want to stay a little higher ohms. Go for 2.0-2.5. You can then have room to kick it up or take it down with the voltage wheel.

The sub ohms don't work well with the VV REO'S because it is a watt overload. It will not fire. I find a 1.5 will work at the lowest setting.

Take the drip tip off and watch the juice as you squonk. Let it cover the bottom of the RM2. When you release the bottle it will drain back down the hole. I find the cap on the bottle needs to be fairly snug for it to pull the juice back down.

You should be able to get a few hits before you need to squonk again. Also remember that the lower ohms do provide more heat on the coil. That makes them require juice more often.

I get a few days with my cotton wick. If you keep it wet enough and do not dry burn it, then it will last longer.

But really replacing the cotton is easy. Just pull it out, dry burn and junk off the coil, and replace the cotton.

I use the blind squonk method. have the air hole pointed down (toward you) while you drag on the drip tip without firing. When you hear a gurgle stop. This means the juice has risen in the atomizer up to the air hole. Level the Reo and release the pressure on the bottle. Then vape away.

You can check the level by putting the air hole back down again and just draw without sqounking. If you hear a gurgle you're still good. IF not then repeat the above. This works well for me and also is good as the juice bottle gets lower as it requires a longer squonk and this method takes that into consideration. Hear the noise, stop! Hope this helps.

Thats a pretty low ohm coil yo have going there. :)

Now you're getting into technical territory. As I understand it a micro is wrapped on an instrument with a diameter of 1.5mm (1/16"). Above that to about 2.3mm (3/32") is called a "mini". Coil diameter and number of wrap does mostly affect the resistance (ohms). A standard coil to my mind for a Reo is basically two 3mm silica doubled up and just wrapped by hand, 5 or more wraps depending on the resistance you want. There are so many ways if making a coil, challenge is to find the one that suits you.

Don't let the whole micro coil mess you up. With your 28g wire you should be going with 10-12 wraps on that size needle. That should give you about 1.2 ohms.

You will have to wrap a few coils and ohm them to find what you want.

Once you know that 10 wraps gives you the ohms you want to run it is a piece of cake to do! Want higher ohms, add a wrap or two.


Check this thread. You will find what people use and how many wraps and ohms.
