Reo Help For First Time Owners

Thanks Johan. Actually for my ignorance they do look more or less the same size in real life, but I presume the inner diameter is the determining factor being 9.5 mm in the case of the cap ring (from ECF site converted from 3/8" to mm) as opposed to 10 mm on the other rings. The outer diameter of the cap ring is 12.7 mm (from 1/2") and those of the other rings are 12mm.

Agree Andre, however measured with vernier, the cap O-ring is definitely an imperial size (my measurement was closer to 9 than 9.5mm), but the other 10mm ones are exact metric sizes (ID X Thickness).

Yip, that is what I gathered from Reosmods on ECF, the cap ring is imperial size, but the others are metric. Wish the Americans would now switch to metric.
 
Guys, I have some questions re: subohming and ribbon wire.

1. What is the difference between say 1ohm and something like .6?

2. What are the advantages of sub ohming?

3. If I decide to give the ribbon wire a go. Do I need ekowool? Reason I'm asking is, I saw rip did a build with cotton.

Thanks peeps :D
 
I'm no expert on sub ohming... but in a nutshell sub ohming is as hot as hell and kicks like a donkey! There is a big difference between 0,6Ω and 1Ω. I can vape at 1Ω but a 0,6Ω vape I need a long dip tip because it's hot!!!

I tried ribbon wire with both ekowool and cotton and it works fine with both.

To add to @Rob Fisher's comments:
  1. Yes a hotter, more intense vape. Tobacco juices do particularly well at lower ohms. Some juices (e.g. fruit juices do not like to go too low).
  2. A hotter, more intense vape.
  3. As @Rob Fisher said.
The vast majority of Reonauts probably vape between 0.8 and 1.4 ohms. Of course there are a few that go lower. Like myself, I range from 0.45 on the Cyclone with AFC on dual coils to around 1.0. Much depends on the juice and personal preference. E.g., think it was Frenilla, which I like around 0.7, but @shabbar found it great at around 0.9.

A good midpoint on which all juices will be ok should be around 0.9, but then again personal preference makes a huge difference - experiment, experiment.
 
Many thanks @Andre and @Rob Fisher, helpful, quick to respond and informative as always :D

I need to order to more wire so i can mess around with different builds. I want to see the difference between the different guage and type of wires. I want dense clouds :p

Oh, that is another game, which I have no experience of. Low ohms and huge air holes are required. The higher the VG the denser the clouds. Direct lung hits are compulsory.
 
Just to add my experience here, the new Atomic I've been using for all of today with dual coils is fantastic. At .45 ohms, and using 28g wire - the flavours coming out of my juices are awesome. Having the AFC (Air Flow Control) option allows one to cool off the throat hit when needed. I'm very impressed with this atomizer.:) And one of the best things is not having to sqounk as often, as in hardly ever.:giggle:

How does that work? Sounds interesting but not sure I could manage dual right now ..

Shoo that is higher grade! Why less squonking? Surely it sucks even more juice?

You could probably manage it quite well, thinking of your repair kit competence, but I would first get some time, experience and experimenting with the Reomizer.

Yeah :) it does, but I only need to take a half to one second drags on that thing.:D It fulfills one rather quickly. :rolleyes:

Just to add @Yiannaki
The difference between a 1 ohm and a 0.6 ohm is also the power you will get.
A 1 ohm will roughly get you 16 Watts of power (4 squared over 1) on a 4V batt. (ignoring volt drop)
The 0.6 ohmer will get you about 27 Watts. That is nearly double the power! Because its nearly half the resistance. (P=V*V/R)

But a lot has to do with the way you achieve the 0.6 ohms.

Assume you did a simple microcoil with say 28g Kanthal around say 1.5mm ID, you would use about 7 wraps to get 1 ohm.
Incidentally, that's about my sweet spot for all day vaping. Decent power, good number of wraps to get enough vaporisation etc.
If I want 0.9 ohms, I do 6 wraps

But when I do fewer than 6 wraps on the microcoil, I find it doesn't work too well. I think its because the power is too high and there are not enough wraps.

Thats why I think peeps use the thicker wire, ribbon wire, dual coils and twisted coils.

I am still going through the coil journey myself. Still very early days for me ;-)

Hey silver :D

Thank you kindly for the post. It was very helpful. I will give your daily setup a bash!

I'm very keen to give the ribbon wire a go and she how it vapes.

I must add that it's been about just over two weeks now. I'm loving every minute of it!

I'm still unsure of what my perfect setup is and I chop and change coils every second day or so just to try something different. so hence all my questions the whole time :p

Got the ultimate device (at least in my eyes) I'm just looking for that coil setup that just feels "right".
 
Pleasure @Yiannaki

The mistake I made once was try a whole bunch of coil types over a few days. (different gauges, twisted, different IDs)
Didn't like any of them and was so confused.

Then I decided to just focus on one thing and try get it right.
I focused on the simple "microcoil" type of coil, like the one you did.
Its taken me a while, many coils - but I do have the luxury of multiple devices.

My happy place at the moment is as follows:

1.5mm ID, 28g Kanthal, cotton
- 0.9 ohms for tobacco juices (6 wraps)
- 1.1 to 1.3 ohms for other juices (7 to 9 wraps)

I am now ready to start venturing into the Ribbon wire/Ekowool domain.

Not saying you mustn't try new things, just that I think it helps to optimise your current setup and know it well.
Then when you try something else, you will notice even the slightest change.

Another thing which helped me alot:
- write down the specs of each coil you do (ID, wraps, wire, coil position) - and a few notes on how you found the vape.
- also play with the positioning of the coil. Closer to the edge versus in the middle, higher versus lower. You might be surprised at how much difference just a 1mm height adjustment makes to the vape

That's a fair point that you make. Instead of being jack of all trades and master of none, I'll rather focus efforts on getting the 28g micro coil right and just experimenting with wraps, position and height.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge, I really appreciate it man.
