20, 30, 40, i never gave a flying fig at any age, so nothing changed except i suffer fools even less gladly these days and that's why i have my own office at work! To protect the rest of them!
Regardless of your atty, if you are new to making coils keep it simple and make ones with a few wraps that are as neat as you can make them.
You want to be over or on 1Ω at the lowest. Something like 27 or 28g (gauge) wire is likely to get you there with not too many wraps or be too springy.
Whether you make spaced coils or have the wraps touching is up to you; the latter may be easier to make if you wrap around a screwdriver or use a coiling device. Spaced coils i have always made by wrapping them around a machine screw.
Whatever you make, there are 2 important things you are aiming for: something you can easily replicate in future and something safe to use. To this end you must measure your coil, either with a gadget for doing so or an accurate multimeter, before you use it.
Measure it with the cap on as if you were going to screw it on a device and use it - if you forget to do this and the wire touches the cap, you'll drop a Reo spring!
One resource you will definitely need is Steam Engine main page
which is full of useful stuff and gives you an idea of what you coil SHOULD come out to!

I havent cared about my age since 18. Not even 21, i had stopped drinking by then
Good for you. I wish I had. I'd have a lot more money. I didn't quit until I was 42.
Well, yeah...I'm with you on that, I keep looking at the...um...gray that's creeping in, despite loads of $$ spent at the salon to cover it.My age doesn't bother me - it's the old woman that is in the mirror that bothers me
i don't drink anymore* and deplore the amount of exercise i have to do to keep in shape anyway. If i really thought those 'electrocute yourself into shape' things worked, well than maybe i'd use that sat here.

Hmmm...I believe I;ve run into you a time or two elsewhere
Welcome to Reoville! And having the best...in my opinion...vaping device on the planet! Metallic blue sure is eye-catching,! I have the same one...but it's smothered in Elvis
jup I know it's bizarro......but look who yur talkin to. up to 23 still seemed cute and fun, but for some reason 24 just seemed way too adult-y.
Jup, they don't make nuttin like they used to. I hate these defective new mirrors. Wish I could find the mirror I had 25 years ago, that girl wuz cute, no wrinkles, or gray hair.My age doesn't bother me - it's the old woman that is in the mirror that bothers me
(((((((Kay)))))))))
I agree wholeheartedly I prefer my twitching to occur naturally
I knew I shoulda listened to the guidence counsolers and not smoked that funny stuff back in the high school days Luckily neither me or my woman drink but just try telling that to my liver since I have a tendency to self-medicate with OTC tylenol & advil as if they were tic tacs
Dangerous, I got to work on that, I know folks. RHP
30/60 = X/58. Whoo Hoo, I'm only 29! But wait, that means my daughter is only 14. What the heck is she doing living with a 28 year old man. Where's my Reo?!
(((((((((Dean))))))))))) hiya hun! Good to see ya!! hehehe I'm 26.5 and my son is almost 16. So why is my body in the shape it's in??? lol
Hope all is well with you and yours
Congratulations on 4, count them 1, 2, 3, 4 Years smoke-free!
Thanks for the welcome to REOville. I always try to yield to those with superior knowledge or who are bigger than me.Howdy Diver, RedhatPat here. Offering you a firm handshake straight from Amish country and ever bigger Welcome to REOville my fellow REOnaut! While it might sound like heresy to say this, I'm still partial to shorty cartomizers myself even with thicker unflavored juices then again with these sasquatch sized hands of mine, I'm a poor rebuilder and can only make attempts in 'doses' now but don't let that deter you from the valuable build-vidz like @woodhippy posted or input from Jim (supertrunker) posts 'cuz most folks have picked it up by now or gotten asbestos tonguetryin' by now if they were me !

Thanks, I will have to take a look at the RM2.
Thanks, Deb. I have built a few coils but I'm always open to suggestions.
I have used Steam Engine for making coils for my mech mods, it has just been a few months. Thanks for info it is always a good reminder for beginers and veterens alike.
Hmm, I believe our paths have crossed. LOLHmmm...I believe I;ve run into you a time or two elsewhere

Thanks, I'll watch the video on my laptop later. I'm sitting in my side yard enjoying the breeze and watching traffic.
I don't have a Coil Master Coiling kit but I have something similar for wrapping coils. I also have the Coil Master 521 Tab. I use it as a build-deck and then I can check for a short before I install it on my REO. Right now I am using 26ga Kanthal.
When I was first thinking about getting the REO, I talked to Deb. I remembered her talking about the RM8.
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome to the REO family. I look forward to learning and sharing knowledge.

Howdy REOville, RedhatPat here. TGIF, folks! May ya'll have peace and health this weekend. You're friend 'til the end.
Never saw the sun, shining so bright,
Never saw things, going so right...
Noticing the days, hurrying by,
When you're in love, my how they fly, oh...
...Blue skies...
Smiling at me... nothing but
Blue skies...
Do I see...

Makes me a 32 yo! Whoop!RHP
Well...if 60 is the new 30 - I'mma gonna be 30 in December [emoji38]
I was in the 'you can't trust anyone over 30' era. I hit 30 & my thought was that ok, I'm 30, I can't trust myself anymore, so why try? Woohooooooo!Nah.
It didn't help that DH is 6 years younger and took great enjoyment in (playfully) teasing the snot out of me about turning 30. [emoji23]
