What's the Lowest Ohm Build You Have Put on Your Reo?

[SeaNap]

I hear you Seanap, but i reckon the spring Grand is every bit as good as the fuse modded one, by which i mean even at some of my brutal low resistances, it works just fine. I cannot tell the difference. On my ADV Grand, i run 0.25Ω R41 coils and RxW because its something i don't expect to have to mess about with for some time.

Your totally right, the BeCu spring can handle very low ohms and still perform great, but I already had a fuse mount from pre SO contacts. When going that low I'm just nervous of causing sag, and for me a 15 cent 20A fuse is a lot easier for me to stomach losing over a $5 spring (which I've already killed 3)

For me, .4 is scary hot, and I wind up dry hitting in one long lung hit, so, .5 is the bottom of my comfort zone. Not because the Reo won't take more, but because the cotton in a 1/16 coil won't hold more. Plus, if I am getting that low through dual 26 ga, the heat up time is slow, compared to a single 28 ga at the same ohms.

dual 32s at 1/8".

I get that, it would be pretty quick. I just hate the springiness of thin wire

I use 28g and my resistance always hovers between .8 and 1Ω I have no desire to go lower. I thought about getting an odin and trying my hand at dual coils but life got in the way... so I'm content with my RM2s. I don't have any kind of ohm meter. I use the Provari and it measures down to .8Ω so that's as low as I'll go.

Haha, nothing related to going deep sub ohm, just me getting some shorts. 2 of them were after a rebuild of an atty with a faulty center pin placement.

You've got two factors going against you, wicking and air flow. By switching cotton to something that wicks better like KGD Rayon or RxW, and opening up the air holes you should get a better result with deep sub ohm. But if .5+ is your sweet spot then I would stick with what works! it's all personal preference.

Dry lung hits put hair on your chest! When did people get so risk-averse?

I'd not run a RM2 below about 0.6Ω and that's regardless of the wicks and the holes - it's a boomer of a single coil atty. Mine are drilled to 1/16" and larger. As far as i am concerned, a 1/16" hole makes it the atty it always ought to have been. But if it shipped like that then Rob would have been vilified for it being 'too airy'.

Did do one 0.5 ohm dual coil, a 0.7 and a 0.9 in the SO Reo's when i first started getting them. All Iive done since is 1.0-1.8 for all of my mine.

 

[SeaNap]

I agree about the 1/16 not being for everybody. My RM2 air holes are actually smaller than 1/16 (slightly), but my .41 MM and RxW single coil hits fantastic on my RM2 and spring Grand

The stock airhole is 3/64". Monkey kindly made me some MM and it's a great vape but a dog to get thru the posts.

I currently have .3 ohm dual stove top coils in my RM5, I posted a video yesterday showing off my lowest ohm build so far and that was down to .2 ohms. I don't have any issues with my Sony VTC4 or 5s. If I take long repeated hits then the batteries get a little warm but that's about it. I use 24ga kanthal for the stove tops 4 wraps. It produces good vapor and has a lot of flavor. I normally just do a simple dual micro coil 28ga kanthal 8 wraps around a 5/64 drill bit, that usually gives me a .5/.6 ohm build.

Here's the video of the .2 ohm dual stove top coils I had.

once you rip out some dual coil builds, the paradigm shifts and nothing else will do.

Too true, I'm finding. Just for shiggles (and, apparently nostalgia) I wrapped up a .8ohm single yesterday on a RM2 with 1/16" air hole and it just couldn't compete with the duals I've got in the Cyclone, RM3 and RM4.

Note that I'm not even going for direct lung draws.

It's funny I used to be fine with a tight draw, but I just got in an RM2 to play with and use as a back up atty. I took one pull on it dry to test the draw and said "nope". Now I'm looking at my drill bits and even 1/16 looks way too small. Now the challenge will be to get it airy enough without causing it to leak in my pocket.

i'd suggest correct decimal point usage, else feel nothing but sympathy for the guy using a 3.25Ω coil. That would not scare birds.

I am afraid you misunderstood the intent of my post if you thought I was trying to scare anyone. I was only trying to show that I was using the proper tools for safe vaping.

Eta... Lesson learned

 

[Filthy-Beast]

SITS.

You Posted 3.25

We think you mean .325

Opps. I am an idiot with decimal points as he indicated.

Eta. For clarity

i predict the late 2010s will be a rich and fertile ground for reconstructive dentistry.

I literally confiscated these from a fellow the other day:



A vape shop in a town about 120 miles from here got him "all set up" with a tube mod, a rebuildable, and dual coils they told him came out at a half ohm. They sold him those batts for 10 bucks a piece and sent him on his merry way.... He doesn't own a meter - they gave him some wire and a screwdriver and told him to wrap his coils on the screwdriver shaft, and that's it. I'm not even certain what the wick was... they sold him a plastic bag he says looks like a little pillow. So, yeah. There's a guy with some mystery tube mod, probably the lowest quality batts ever made, no idea what his wick is made out of, no idea of how to check ohms/short, no information whatsoever about the wire they sold him.... I have since given both the fellow vaper and the vape shop manager some knowledge. The former received that knowledge at a much lower decibel than did the latter.

Lowest build I have is my Zenith at .28 ohms with dual micros 24 gage at 8 wraps

 

[Sirius]

I stay around 0.8 ohm for the simple reason my flavors taste better. I rarely even build exotic coils anymore. My go to is 26ga 8 wraps on a 5/64th drill.

Single micro coil 26ga on the RM4
