L.R. run hotter and might mute some sweet flavors. Regular are cooler and good for sweet flavors.
I used single coil cartomizers for awhile. They were decent.
But overall the RM2 blows them away.

RM2 = Reomizer 2. What are you using as your rba? I think we can help with any rebuild and inconsistency issues you could be having.
i am using the RBA (?) from reos. its perfectly fine. i am using 28g kanthal. i have tried boiling sterile cotton. silica. ekowool.
mini coils, hand wraps,ect. i think it is a matter of my taste buds changing bc they all taste "harsh" in different ways right now.
i am working my way down in nicotine to 11-12 and that may make a difference later. I want to eliminate my possible "human error"
factor with cartomizers for a little while. (i have currently switched back to a kanger pro tank 2 on a innokin MVP cause the "taste" is too harsh on the reo. but i love the mod and want to keep using it.

In my experience the "human error" factor is far better than the China doesn't give a crap quality control factor.
I can wrap coils all day long with a .1 tolerance ......... Cartos can be all over the map, not to mention filler size and flavor inconsistencies .......
But I would go with the 1.7 ohm super short cartos if you have to try cartos.

i ordered 3 of each from rob's site. i agree about "china"
i hate to rely on kanger coils,(they only last 2 days at 2 bucks each) so i hope they are consistent until my taste is ok with rba's.
thanks to all for the imput. (3 months not smoking,so i am learning!)

I use the Smok Tech 510 xl clear dual coil 1.5 ohm from Reosmods on my reo woodville mini mod. They last a long time.
That being said I prefer the RM2 on my Grands although i used to use cartomizers on everything
ymmv

chriss54002, before I begin to tell you anything, please understand this is my personal feelings and suggestions.
others may have totally different views and comments and none areright or wrong. It's all about what works for you.
Before I began making my own coils, I too used carto's and they worked fine. Making your own coils will give way better all around results.
My first few months of making coils was a hit and miss venture. I made several coils a day and used them at home and relied on cartos all other times. Finally I got a consistent build that was dependable and satisfying, then bye bye cartos.
I don't know what type or style coil built you doing. I suggest to new coil makers to go with a standard size coil via diameter size and ohms. Reason being they are a easier build and faster to make and easier to get consistent. many here love micro coils and that's just fine.
they require a much smaller diameter and many more wraps which can lead to more fussing till the coil is working its best.
so take a easy road till you feel your ready to go in new directions. micros do give a bit more flavor but for myself I like how standard coils work better. It's all personal. I do see here some vapers are returning to old school coils. So I'm not the only one.
It's a must to have a ohm checker, and its nice to have a jig to make coils one. (ex Q vapes coiler)
but a nail or pocket screwdriver works just fine. 2.5 to 3 mm makes a nice coil 5 to 6 wraps with 28g should yield a .9 to 1.2 coil which is fine for most vapers. And is quite safe with most batteries and a stock reos mod.
I do use cotton yarn for my wicks but a wick is a wick and some love cotton and others use other wick material.
If you need any help feel free tosend me a private message

Some good points but this jumped out at me. I've learned that the wick just might be the single most important thing when it comes to flavor and throat hit ... I'd be more inclined to say a coil is a coil IMO ..... Just as long as it has a good wick.
