All Things Reo

Happy cudding guys, we'll welcome you back in Reoville with open arms.
 
Thanks, am planning to do a full comparison as this is my first experience with a rebuildable but am going to give it a week or so in order to get a better perspective. I've already sucked 6ml and killed one 18490 since 5 ish today :eek:
My first rebuildable was a Reo as well. Clearly you will be in need of the bigger brother looking at your juice and battery consumption:).
 
Can the Reonauts (and ex) share their coil resistance, material and gauge that provides the best vape. I'm aware of the potential subjectivity, but would like to establish whether there is an optimal range or not?

Bump?

Reason for my asking is I have used coils from 1-1.5 ohm in 28 kanthal. Dying to hear if you find a 2 ohm better or 26 instead of 28?

Sorry, we have been amiss. I almost exclusively use 28g, unless I do a twisted coil. My normal resistance is around 0.9 ohms, but I do play lower from time to time. I wick with silica, ekowool and cotton and have recently started using bamboo. From what I have gathered at the ECF Reo forum, most Reonauts coil between 0.7 and 1.5, with the 0.9 to 1.2 range probably the most popular. Higher than 1.5 you need a VW device to get satisfaction. 28g Kanthal is by far the most popular, as is cotton at this stage.
Here is my sort of standard coil, 1.4 mm ID, 28g Kanthal, 6 wraps, 0.91 ohms. From front and top.

Nice coil !
What does the tilting of it do to the vape?
 
Oh and @Matthee, just noticed now, happy 8 month vaping anniversary!!!

My ECF powered signature is on the blink. First time since I installed it. Went to the ECF site and they asked me to change my password. Wonder if the site on ECF was reset or something... ?

Its due to their upgrade yesterday or the day before, all members had to change/confirm passwords.

Airflow, airflow....have not the foggiest, just saw the resident coil master on the Reo forum does it that way and, to be honest, it just comes out that way when I build. The Reomizer is very forgiving.

Thanks @Matthee, good to know

Thanks @johanct - that must have reset their signature banner engine too...

Thanks, Silver. Appreciated. Proud of meself. Yes, ECF was down for a long time and one had to reset passwords. I like the simple signature for vaping stats below - just click on it to do the same. And of course the below that line I apprehended from a prominent member of this forum.

the coil I wrapped and fitted to the reo that you vaped on 1st was pretty much where I liked it between .9 and 1.1

Your coils are in my display cabinet. Used of course.... I tried them all and liked the 1ohm best.
 
I have had the Igo-S on the Mini from day 1. So cannot do a direct comparison as the Grands all have RM2s. But, taking that into account I really cannot discern a difference in hit between the Mini and the Grand. Why, do you feel the Grand hits harder?

It feels like it. Maybe it's just because I'm so use to the mini.
Could the amp rating on the batteries make a difference on the hit?

I have no idea. Could be because you have just filed and noaloxed and, thus, minimised voltage drop. File and noalox the Mini and see if you still feel a difference? Use fresh batt on both. New coil and wick could also make a difference.

Probably just my imagination. Will do a proper comparison sometime in the week.
 
Wouldn't it also be a good idea to use the same RM2, i.e. unscrew it from the Mini and put it on the Grand?
Then you have the same coil, wick - and juice
Just the battery would be different

Yes, I will do just that. I really like the feel of the Grand.
I will do that somewhere in the week.
 
Ok, looking forward to hear.

When you do, mention the specs of the battery being used in each.

Also, check if one battery is new(ish) and the other is old(ish). Maybe the older one doesn't hold as much Voltage when fully charged. Don't you have the LUC charger? You can test that as @johanct pointed out in another thread...

Also, work out the implied current at that voltage and resistance. And lets see what percentage of the max current that is for each battery. Maybe that has to do with it too.
