What's your favorite coil build on your Reo?

[PapawBrett]

This one might catch some flack....

Twin 1.2 Ohm (0.6 total) coils.

I've already tried the 'twin engine' cloud makers, and was so dissatisfied that I traded that LP/SL and RM5.... for a ProVari P2 and an Original svoemesto KFL. But then, after forty years of searing my lungs with tobacco and (other substances) I am just not into Cloud Chasing. Tried it, did not enjoy it . At all.



For me it is all about resistance, nothing else. On my VV Grands, I use an RM2 and a BF Veritas. The target resistance is around 2.0 ohms. I get there using 30g Kanthal, 10 to 11 wraps around a 5/64th drill bit for the RM2. Because the Veritas uses longer feed legs, 7- 8 wraps can get me into the 1.8 - 2.0 range.
I also have two Grands that I use daily as 'At Work' Mods. Real simple - 28g Kanthal, 7- 8 wraps on a 3/32nd drill bit usually puts me around 1.4 ohms. Single coils give me the smooth, easy vaping I prefer.

To each their own....

On my Rm2 I'm running twisted 28g kanthal, 8 wraps(I think. Been on it a while), 2mm micro coil measuring .5ohms. with KGD wick. I like that one and probably won't change the build. I use it on my mini Reo at work. On my grand I have a Mephisto atty built with 28g tensioned dual micro coils, 8 wraps, at 2mm for .5ohms with KGD wick. I like it good enough, but the more I see pics, the more I'm wanting to build some uglys. I only have 28g and 30g wire so I need to make an order first. I also have an Odin and not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. It's been waiting patiently for over a month on me to get the copper vein grand I got for Christmas ready. Finally got the last clear coat pass on it today. I'm hoping the black Odin will rock on it. I haven't been able to take it for a test run because it doesn't make contact on either of my other two Reos. I have checked it on the copper vein though, and it will work there. Looking forward to tomorrow

I always go with twisted coils. Triple twisted 32g. ID of 1/16, usually wicked with rayon, though I do sometimes switch it up and use KGD. I shoot for ~0.8 on my RM2, which is wrapped 7/6, IIRC. I get them as close as I can, using a pair of ceramic tweezers to smoosh them together really good. They never get as close as a true microcoil does, but the extra vapor I get from the grooves in twisted wire more than makes up for the imperfect contact. In my Nuppin' I go for dual coils, also 7/6, but with longer legs, which leads to it metering right around 0.56. I'll try to take pics, but all I have to do it with is my iPotato, so they may not turn out so good.

Rm2..28g..single coil...1ohm.. (I didn't care for duels either)

I once sent a Canadian friend my suggestion for the new, improved Canadian flag.

Rm2. 28 g twisted @ .51 ohms, Rayon wick.

there's the rm2 and Mephisto set ups. Had to rewick the rm2 to take a pic. Been vaping wakonda and you couldn't tell what was wick and what was coil lol

I have some Wakonda I don't like. Want it?

I posted this pic a while back... but hey, Im still using this same build-- I have no reason to mess with it. It works perfectly and squonks / saturates the wick extremely fast. The wicks are so close and angled that the thick VG juice I run basically goes straight up the wick tails to the coil, instead of filling the outer edges of the deck. Sorta like a juice injection every squonk... I would have a hard time rebuilding this exactly like this, and I will not try, because leaving the rxw lay natrually wicks just fine anyway....

My standard/ favorite build- tensioned wrapped 28g / 7/8wrap / 1/16" (2nd smallest rod in coil gizmo)... and 2mm rxw - dual coils, nets 0.5 ohms

I recently tried a 1.3ohm single coil of- 30g twisted build (2 strands) / tensioned wrapped, same as above ^, except for 10/11 wraps, and it is definitely the best build I've had for the magma with rxw (thanks soignee )....

You're quite welcome!!

Parallel 30AWG -- 5 wraps, about 0.6Ω, on a Cyclone w/AFC and KGD cotton. Love it.

Would love to have it!!! Is there anything you do like that you're low on or would like to try? I may have something to swap you for it

Cyclone. 26 gauge, 5 wraps. .67 ohm 3/32 id. Rayon wick

I love the ugly coil lol. Every time I see it I think of when I first started rebuilding. The rule then was make the coils even and OMG don't let them touch!
I'm using a stovetop single coil. 28g @ .9 in my igo. I was BSing with friends and kept rolling up a scrap piece of kanthal, (I have tinkeritis and I'm a fidgeter). I made a perfect looking coil so I put it on the igo to see what it would do and haven't put it down since Saturday. I'll never be able to duplicate it so I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm all about the triple twisted 32. It meters out really close to 28 if you wrap it tight enough, but the juice getting into all the nooks and crannies makes the flavor pop for me in ways that regular old micros just don't. I alternate between KGD and rayon, depending on what I'm going to be doing that day. KGD holds a lot more juice, but rayon wicks much more quickly. So, if I'm going to be chain vaping it's a rayon day, but if I'm going to be taking more time between hits it's KGD all the way..

Zenith V2.5
So far, best build is a .4ohm tensioned duals, 1/8" ID, 26ga, wicked with Japanese cotton (non-KGD)
Jury is still out, have some KGD & RxW on the way, will be playing with various builds.

 

[dbrandt01]

Just got the Nuppin so this is what I'm rocking. 0.6 ohms as you can see. 8 wraps, 2.0mm screwdriver, 28g kanthal and KGD cotton.

So I accidentally triple twisted some 27 gauge a while back and couldn't make it work without a winding tool. I recently acquired one and did a 7 wrap 7/64 id that metered at .47 ohms. It's a very hot vape, it took about 2 ml of juice to break the coil and Rayon wick in. Initially all the flavor was washed out, and the nic hit was overwhelming! After the break in period, it has produced a really nice full flavor, rich and deep with exceptional vapor, if that's your thing. The large ID keeps the juice flowing, but it barely fits in and Rm2. For my rapid stealth vaping needs at work, this is the build I've been looking for. Delivers my nic in 2 hits with full flavor!

Wow that even looks intense! What battery are you using with that beast of a coil?
I've done twisted coils that big before, not triple though, and I like them, like you said, lots a joose flowing, but they kill my 2200 AW's quickly.

I'm using both the AW 2200's and the Orbtronic SX30 button top. So on a full day that includes a shift at work (minimal stealth vaping there) I will go through 1 AW and 2 SX's...It really was accidental though. I was trying to burn through my 30 gauge and ended up with a strand of the 27. Great vape though...
