I don't really know... but it appears that 1,4 to 1,8 would be optimum. Actually I have no idea what to aim for or why?
All I know is my 1,8 Ohm coil in my REO is damn near perfect for me.

check this chart out
this will help with the amount of wraps you need for the ohms you want
One of those legs are not properly tightened. That resistance is far too high for 8 wraps of 28g.
Was thinking the same thing should come in between 1.2 - 1.6 depending on ID

@Rob Fisher, sorry to be nit-picking, but it looks like the positive block moved off it's place a bit when you tightened it. I think it may make it a bit easier to work with once it is straightened. Just loosen it a little bit, move the block into place and hold it there while tightening back up.
so how badly does it kick the nautilus's heinie? 
Thanks @Rex_Bael @Gazzacpt and @Matthee! I'll empty it and make some alternations this evening...
Rex I want nit picking... I need to work out all these issues!
Appreciate the feedback!
@denizenx it's not quite kicking the Nautilus's butt just yet but I think when I fix the issues it most certainly will kick all the commercial tanks ring pieces.

OK have redone the coil... the new one has shorter legs, is central right over the hole and the block has been tightened (Not crazy about the design of this part I have to say) and put straight... the coil now comes out at 1,1 Ohms and the vape is way better than it was and is warm and rich but the throat hit is still a bit on the heavy side but way better! The vapour production is now on track as well. Edit: the heavy throat hit has dissipated a bit and the vape after 10 minutes with it has improved to a point were it is pretty close to where I want it to be!
It will be interesting to get a coil and wick done by a pro...
OK I have to agree that the RBA devices once set up properly do beat the commercial coils hands down... yes they are a pain to recoil and do the wick and fill etc but the end result is most certainly a superior vape.
But I don't know if it's just my imagination but my REO still beats them all... I'm not sure why because the setup is similar? My REO vape is just that much smoother and the flavour is just perfect.
But if you want a decent RBA that doesn't leak at all and I mean nothing... zippo... not a sausage... then an Original Russian 91% should be on your shopping list. Yes it was expensive but way better value for money in the long run for sure! I just wish I had bought this in the first place and not had that disaster with the clone Kayfun Lite Plus which kept me from RBA's too long!
I now have an RBA that I can take out with me! The Russian rocks!

so how badly does it kick the nautilus's heinie?
I now admit in public... it is pretty good @denizenx and it does indeed beat the Nautilus for pure flavour which is what I'm after... with my REO and Russian I may have bought my last normal atomiser... well except for the ones I will buy just to test and play with!
Lovely piece of equipment @Rob Fisher ... I love my Russian even though it's a clone.
Haha rob that was brilliant. I think we going to have to bring these Russians in they look the business. And will suite my 20w oh so well, super jelous rob. nice review as always too.

You need to Giz! And I have to say it looks absolutely PERFECT on the Sigelei 20W! They were made for each other! The Nautilus is pretty unhappy about being ripped off the 20W and put onto the SVD.
Wow Rob, what an adventure.
Set up with a good vape within one day. That is good going. Takes many people longer than that.
I really appreciate the trouble you go to in order to share the experience with the usual dose of Rob Fisher humour. So entertaining and interesting.
On another note Rob, just wondering, if you vape your REO at 1.8 ohms, that's really not a lot of power at all. Less than 10 watts. Have you tried the REO with a coil at 1.1 ohms like your second one on the Russian?

The Reo still should be the better vape in terms of flavour because its a dripper, the big thing about kayfun/russian is the its tank ability and still does an amazing vape.
Hi Ho! Missed you today... you been busy I guess! I haven't tried it yet... just so happy with the current coil I don't want to mess with perfection... I need another REO to experiment with!
Beautifully put. That does it, I'm officially an aspiring Reonaut
Then check my new posting in the REO forum!
Have you chosen a colour yet?Beautifully put. That does it, I'm officially an aspiring Reonaut
Hahaha! There's about 5 or 6 variants that really appeal to me. "Black wrinkle metallic blue" and "Olive drab" are high on the list.
I shall save up and let ya'll know wassap
The coil and wick has settled very nicely and the vape is awesome! Was a great buy! Tank empty and about to be refilled now! I'm a happy camper!
thanks for the awesome review @Rob Fisher
i can only but imagine the difference between the clone and original

It's now the end of day 2 with the Russian 91 and I have to say this has been one of the best purchases I have made since I started vaping.. not only does it look really good but it vapes like a dream and there is simply nothing I don't like about it... it has performed flawlessly since I got the coil right. It now lives permanently on the Sigelei 20W and looks like it was made for it. I simply have to give it a 10 out of 10 rating. If you can afford a Russian 91% Original then buy yourself one. All my other tanks are sitting on the sidelines not being used right now... it's only the REO and the Russian seeing any action.
I would like to say more about the Russian but other than it's a perfect device in every way I don't know what more can be said!

that's nice, but I want an original Kayfun
The original, original
