What's your favorite build?

[Myah_June2014]

Curious to see what everybody's sweet spot & favorite build is?! List your favorite or 2 favorite set ups. What Guage, type of coil & ohm!
I prefer single coil, 26G parallel .40 ohms [sometimes little lower]. I'm realizing I'm tinkering more since I got my Reo...
If I go double it's usually regular micro coils & I'm gonna build my 1st nano coil & see how that works.

 

[DoogieTony]

My go to coil is a 29ga kanthal, 7 wraps, 1.4mm ID, 1.0ohm

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

I'm big on 1/16" 28 gauge micros, 7 or 8 wraps, single (1.0 ohm) or dual setups (.5 ohms), wicked with cotton (recently trying RxW).

I've described this before...

OK. When I got my RM2 and some 29ga kanthal, I found a random screw on my desk that's half threaded, half smooth and was probably the shaft for a little pulley or other mechanical device at some point. I have no idea what the diameter is but it probably isn't so much different than a #10 or something. - I nipped a few inches of wire off the kanthal spool and eyeballed how much to torch with my lighter guessing from a chart I saw one time describing ohms per inch. I wrapped that around the smooth portion of the screw a few times and then twist the screw to remove it- makes a nice looking coil. This 510 ohm-checker-thing-a-ma-bob I bought for a few bucks that probably doesn't know what it's talking about with any degree of accuracy says those coils all come out about 1.25 ohms after having their legs stuck in the holes of the RM2 posts and nipped off behind the screws. Then, I cut a little japanese cotton off a pad with my pocket knife and stuff that through the coil... and then I cut the ragged ends of that off with my pocket knife as close to the edges of the deck as I can so installing the cap won't drag my wick around too much.

It comes out looking like this and it cranks out all sorts of flavorful vapor.

OK... So, I really am that uninvolved in "building". I really do use just some random screw I found - I really do use my pocket knife on my wicks - I really don't trust the ohm-checker-thng-a-ma-bob and honestly only use it to quickly check I don't have a short.... but I will admit I do own a decent multimeter... which is why I know I can't trust the ohm checker thing a ma bob. I just don't much care if my coils are exactly this or that so long as they give me good, flavorful, thick vapor when I push the button and take a drag. The set up in the photo produces exactly what I want - good, thick, flavorful vapor... and I can reproduce that exactly every single time. -- I made a few mistakes at first, but now I know exactly where to place my coil and I know what too much or too little cotton feels like in my fingers.

I'm with on this build

46-34-46 is my favorite build. It's just like 36-24-36 but more in all the right places. Oh wait you mean....... 28 gauge Kanthal 6 wraps .7 ohms 1/16 id RXW wick. I'll go vape in the corner now.

 

[Henry Etta]

I'm with Papa for the dual- 28g, 1/16th drill bit, 8 wraps each gets me between .5-.6 ohms.For single coil I do 5 wraps of 26g or tigerwire

 

[Funk Dracula]

28g twisted micro around a 16g luer lock needle. 6/7 wrap lands just above or below .6Ω.

Lot's of mojo in a small space.

I've tried a lot of different builds, but this is for sure my ADV, or "brand of smokes" so to speak.

 

[ikbtops]

For 3.7V, I use 9-10 wraps of 26g around a toothpick and plain cotton.
For 6V, I use 12 wraps of 30g.

DITTO^^^^^ except a little less wraps/lower ohms (about .7 or.8) with KGD

 

[Mrs C]

On my grands 6 wraps 30g twisted around the small screwdriver comes in at .9.
On the mini wood 7 wraps of the same comes in at 1.1-1.2.
On the pt2 (my absinthe flavor) 6 wraps 32g on 14g comes in at 1.8.

 

[Rule62]

My 'go to' is 26g kanthal A1. Dual coils. Each coil is 8 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit. Total resistance is ~.5 ohms. Koh Gen Do cotton wicks.

I've been doing my own builds since not too long after I started vaping, used to be a piddle .... that had to try everything for both resistance and NR-R-NR coils. Followed the advice of others at first as I learned, dove into the unknown with my own concoctions. Somebody would come up with a coil, give it a name and I'd try it sort of thing, lots of them. I have way too much time on my hands IOW. Some were simple and easy, some were more like like building a house from the ground up without a hammer. Insanity, all too often coils someone dreamed up in the search for the perfect cloud chaser instead of what is really the most important to me anyway... flavor.

My best coils have names too, they are called KISS. The Reo mods are amazingly KISS, the coils I am building for them are also KISS. I have not yet built a sub ohm for them, just simple micro coils in the 1.0 to 2.2 ohm range with various wire sizes on various diameter forms with KDG or CC wicks. I match the joose to the coil for the best flavor yet still get more than ample clouds, actually massive clouds for the build with the Reo's perfect joose delivery system, and flavor is all gold stars. Most of my other mech mods have sub ohm coils in them... some of them very low ohm coils, but the Reo's are seeing about 95% of my vaping. Coils last a long time so I spend almost no time rewicking them and don't have to fiddle with them at all other than refilling the bottles. With my long lung hits that's fairly often... but still way better than dripping and screwing around with fancy toppers that can have a mind of their own. The Reo's help make my life KISS too.

5 wrap 32 gauge kanthal 1,6mm drill bit standart coil and 8 wrap 28 gauge kanthal 1,6mm drill bit microcoil.with reo every build is excellent vape.
