The Cyclops's and Cyclones are ready to do some duty today!

I will check this site out when I'm back at my desk.
Thanks
Asked Jay from Vicious Ant about the size of the o-ring around the base of the Cyclone. It is 1 x 10mm. That is the same as the one Reomizer o-ring, which you can find here: http://www.vapourmountain.co.za/shop/reosmods/o-ring-1mm/
aaah thanks @Andre
i have a few of those o-ring spares at home but when i tried it on the cyclops its was just a little too thin as it didnt have enough grip to hold the cap in place.
i will order a few more and try again.
thanks
Maybe order a 1.5mm one as well if you like a tighter fit? http://www.vapourmountain.co.za/shop/reosmods/o-rings-1-5mm/
i will most certainly do that. i dont believe i have 1.5mm options at home so will stock up just in case.
thanks for the effort made in getting the correct o-ring sizes
Time to get Amber ready to Vape...
First fail was the screws had sharp edges and kept cutting the coil legs... now that is really annoying... so I went into McGyver mode and took my little file and filed them down and took off the sharp edges.
Then on coil number three I took my time and built this beauty...
Epic Fail again... I thought I had sent all my non-BF decks to Jakes already... not as it turns out!
Rebuild coil number 4... nogga fail and out with the metal file again to sort these screws out as well.
Coil number 5 done and wicked up... for me a pretty low restance coil of 0,95Ohm... 7 wraps with 28g kanthal.
Sweet Vape! Amber is operational!

After taking @Silver's advice I made a parallel 30g 6 wrap coil for the Cyclone which came out at 0,7 Ohm and the vape is outstanding!
So now that I'm playing with coils again I made a parallel coil with 6 wraps but used 28g this time... Whoa! 0,45 Ohm... this is a bit too much for me... I tried it on the lung hitting Cyclops... but the flavour is great but the vape is too harsh for me... I'll try the Cyclops again but this time I'll use 30g.

Look at you Rob! Sub ohming and lung hitting! Who would have thought
Sounds like you're having blast with this experimentation

Yip a month ago I would have said you have lost your mind if you said I was lung hitting and sub ohm'ing! I blame all you lunatics and the Atlantis tank!
Now to get you onto the Odin again and we're setYip a month ago I would have said you have lost your mind if you said I was lung hitting and sub ohm'ing! I blame all you lunatics and the Atlantis tank!
Next up on the lung hit list for conversion is @Silver
Now to get you onto the Odin again and we're set
I'll never say never because I would have said never to lung hitting and sub ohm'ing... I also never thought I would see the day when my mods of choice would all be mech mods!
But unless I get a bigger REO that the Odin actually fits on I don't see that happening... I could not been seen in public with an atty that overhangs... I did try it in the privacy of my home and even that I couldn't do... but I won't say never!
But I have to say I have yet to get the flavour from anything other than a Cyclone single coil 0,7ohm parallel that is so close to what I feel is perfection. But as history has shown... tastes change and evolve.
Next I have to find a build on the eight million rand Chalice that doesn't gurgle and the flavour is right... haven't found it yet!
Right that 0,45Ω Coil is history... 30g 6 Wraps on 1,5mm and bingo! A more respectable resistance of 0,67Ω on the Golden Cyclops! Much better! Awesome flavour!
Lol @Rob Fisher - love it the way you say you tried the Odin in your home but wouldnt be caught in public with the overhang. You are just classic.
And the eight million rand Chalice. Lol
Just to let folk know I tried Robs eight million rand Chalice when i visited his vape cave.
He had some menthol concoction in it
Flavour was really top notch - but then again, its not a juice i knew and those menthol ones have great flavour anyway.
So hard to try a few toots on someone else's setup and reach any definitive conclusions
What i can say is that it seems like it could be really amazing
Oh and by the way, Robs Vape Cave is mighty impressive!

Thanks @Yiannaki. I appreciate it. Am keen to try the lung hitting with a decent setup
Thats what my LP Reo Blue is for. To have one really good dedicated lung hitting setup with the right juice and coil
Thanks to Jakes, my Odin is making its way through the Jakes modification production line
so I should have it fairly soon. Then we can have an Odin breakfast and play with our lungs. Ha ha. LolI feel like a little boy again
I've actually been struggling to find a suitable sub ohm build for my cyclone and can't believe that I hadn't considered a parallel coil (I'm assuming that's how you got to 0.67Ω with 6 wraps), I wrapped one of these last night and I must say, this configuration is awesome, flavour and clouds for days! Thanks @Rob Fisher!
After my success with the parallel coil on the Cyclone and Cyclops I decided to give my number one REO (Avril) with a 2013 Cyclone on top a new coil... the coil that has been on that system is my longest lasting coil since I was born and was around the 1,9Ω mark and has served me very well for months!
I have a 0,67Ω on Kiera with Cyclone that I use for Mount Baker Vapor Extreme Ice which is not as pure (read powerful) as Vapour Mountain Menthol Ice... and I think a low coil like that would not be right for my precious Tropical Ice... so I gave it 7 wraps of 30g parallel to come out at 1,2Ω.
Ooooo so good! Happiness is a parallel coil! Kiera and Avril are ready for action!

First post here just did a quick wrap on my way out this morning
Will give a report back later on the experience
Will give a report back later on the experience
pretty neat coiling for a quick wrap on your way out. Working those samurai skills i see
That was 24g 2 mm I'd 5-6 wraps should be .4 didn't check was in a hurry
Latest build
2.4 mm I'd
5-6 wraps
24g twisted with 30g
Really enjoying this atty
Going to build dual coils later
Great coiling on a great atomizer. Only one I know of with the air slits facing forward - perfect for the Reo. I love dual coils on there. Enjoy.
