Finally managed to zip, separate and email the full size photos to myself whilst rushing on Nic :D

So 10/9 Wrap Kanthal A1 on 1.5mm Drill Bit, Cottton Wicked and placed for flavour (Top of coil placed close to edge of cup and as low as possible to base - see photos) It came to 1.2 Ohm, measured on my old faithful ;)

Flavour seems a bit - just a tad - on the soft side, I think I should try 2 things, 1 is to center my coil on the airhole and the other would be placing it over the juice port. If all else fails, there is a flavour setup I saw somewhere with an "L" shaped Micro Coil or even a Chimny-Airhole setup I saw on Youtube. Not to mention twisted Kanthal :p

Will keep you posted.

Sorry for the long port, but hope you like the pics!

@Gizmo I had my doubts about how your forum will handle this, but it did swimmingly, so hats off to you!

@CVS Thanks for making this all possible.

@All I bet you can't wait to get your Reo :)

That is a master class quality coil and perfect glow there. And great pictures too. Yes, I agree, move the coil a bit up to align with the airhole. Maybe move the coil more to the edge of the juice hole (move it to the right as you face it). The right hand side tail of the wick I see the Reonauts keep very short.

Thanks @Silver1 :) Took a way longer to post than build the coil :p It is a lovely device to rebuild!

High praise coming from an exclusive if not avid Reonaut like yourself @Matthee ! Much obliged :)

I am going to attach a pic I found on ECF, I hope this does not conflict with either forum or the original poster to whom I would like to give credit, but my memory fails me... If it is not allowed please remove it @Matthee ?

I think the above is what you mean and I (Among other) concur ;)

As to keeping the RHS wick short, do you know the reasoning on that ?

As long as you credit ECF, should be fine. Yes, that shows the position of the coil in relation to the juice hole quite well. Obviously, you may want to have the coil more towards the edge or the posts, depending on your preferences. The shorter wicks (very short on the side away from the juice hole and just touching or almost touching the deck on the juice hole side) just wicks better and gives better flavour. The logic behind this was explained somewhere on ECF, but I do not have that clear in my mind just now. Do remember there was a whole thread on this subject and everyone agreed that it is better, even for silica, which I have yet to try myself. From personal experience the shorter cotton wicks for sure is more effective. Different from a dripper probably, but remember with the Reo you can squonk, whereby the whole wick and coil is saturated before the juice sucks back into the bottle. To make sure the cotton is not too thick (which is the case with many Reonauts starting out with cotton) drip a few drops of juice on one tail of the wick when dry. If it goes through the coil to the other side, you are good to go. And yes, the disadvantage of cotton is that if you do not keep it wet, you get horrible dry hits.

Thanks for the great response @Matthee - looking forward to giving all this a try. I will try take some pics, but I think I will rather make a summary post on my findings once I have tried a couple different setups :)
 
CVS popped around this morning, had a feel of his reo mini... All I can say is WOW, it is so tiny and so beautiful!
