With all the crap we have been having with tanks and coils etc something that @Spydro said resonated with me... then @Lushen PM'ed me with a build for the Manta... so I got some of the REO's back on the desk and went to work!

Nichrome 26g Dual 8 wraps 2,5mm diameter 0,44Ω with Rayon wick.

Vapour Mountain XXX can indeed be vaped successfully in a REO... here it is with the Manta on a P67 and the flavour is awesome! Thank You @Spydro and @Lushen!

Glad the build is working for you. I am now running the build in most of my 22mm atties that have fruity or menthol flavors :)

Hey.. Nichrome? I thought that was for TC?

Nickel is used for TC, but Nichrome can be used in normal power mode.
The resistance is more than SS but less than Kanthal, but the ramp up time is amazing.

If you haven't tried it, give it a shot.

I did find a difference between different makes of Nichrome and have settled on UD Nichrome for now. It just works and there is no metal taste at all.
 
Lol... I feel like a dinosaur, not keeping up with the 'hip kids' :think:

Oh really... :eek:

I'm behind the trends, clearly.
Thank you, I will give it a try then.

Where can I get hold of that?
 
My 2 BF Manta V1/V2 Hybrids are a long ways from being my favorite atty's for the Reos @Rob Fisher. But FWIW, my builds on both of them are 26 dual builds, 3mm form, 7 wrap netting 0.48Ω. One is currently on a P67 running my DIY Spiced Chai Tea Toranado, the other on a 2015 Woodvil running my DIY Patchouli Vanilla Ice.

Yes, my Reos are back in full swing where they belong. But I am still playing with some of the tanks/reg mods mixed in with them one or two at a time. Right now it's still the Black Gemini on a SWM that's up to tank 7 already after around 3 hours (thirsty sucker), and an Avocado on the VGOD.

@Spydro both my Gemini's are in full swing... I just love the flavour... and filling them is simple... my Target Tanks have other juices (non ADV's) in them and I vape them on and off when I feel like a different vape...

But having been away for a week I realise the REO is just such a prefect device and doesn't drink juice like the tanks and make much more sense when I'm mobile... but I'm far from giving up on tanks and am still having a blast playing with them all... and there are all these interesting mods you can use to drive the tanks...

If I was only allowed to devices they would bother be REO's... but I can have as many as I like and I love playing with the technology and different products... great healthy hobby!
 
Ni80 26awg has become my wire of choice because of the fast ramp up times. XXX in the Nuppin with 2.5mm dual coils, 8 Wraps each and fiber freaks for the wick. There's not much else to be said. it's perfect for me.

PS, I also use an identical build in the griffin tank, this has to be the best RTA ever.

And can you dry burn Ni80?

I can confirm that NI80 wire has a very fast ramp up time
The 26g NI80 wire is comparable ramp-up wise to 28g Kanthal
@Lushen is right, those that haven't tried it should give it a try (if you dont like slow ramp up and afterburner)

PS - can also confirm what Lushen says about resistance. Its somewhere between SS and Kanthal.
My feeling is that while Stainless Steel is about half the resistance of Kanthal, NI80 is about three quarters of Kanthal, like for like

What build are you using on the Avocado? Everybody raves about the flavour on the Avocado but it seems muted on mine. I have a single stainless steel 26g, 3mm ID coil in at the moment, running at about 0.8ohms.
 
OK next up is the O16... built dual Nichrome 26g 7 wraps 2,4mm diameter and wicked with Rayon... also with XXX because I know it so well... Mmmm the flavour is better in the O16 than the Manta...
