Sorted!
Thanks Rob
My new Reo deserves a new coil and wick for its first workout. The golden Cyclops with pre-2014 deck was called in for duty. Dual coils, 1.6 mm ID, 8 wraps of 28g Kanthal came out to 0.45 ohms.

A heavenly vape!
Wow @Andre, that coil setup is the neatest thing ever seen. picture perfect.
In my excitement of getting Camila today I was in no condition to make a coil so I grabbed one of the premade coils I bought from VaporDNA some time back and stuck it in a Cyclone... the diameter was much wider than I normally make (I normally do a 1,5mm Coil)... it took quite a bit more rayon than I normally use and I have to say the vape was damn good... I need to experiement with different diameter coils now!
@Rob Fisher , not talking about the Cyclone, but just in general:
For me, the wider diameter coils seem to have a slightly denser and wetter tasting vape as opposed to the crispness of a 1.5mm. Also, the wider diameter coils take more wick, therefore more juice, so I think they are well paired with lower resistances and thicker wire.
As an example on my Blackbird flavour, just to illustrate :
26g wire with 2mm diameter single coil - at 0.7 ohms - gives me a warm, dense and wettish vape. Lovely rich flavour.
28g wire with 1.5mm diameter - at 0.9 ohms - is just so instant and crisp and delicious. The crispness does change the flavour slightly.
I actually prefer the crisper one for this juice. Obviously it has less power too, not just the diameter, but the whole setup seems better to me.
You need to experiment for youself, but I would guess that you will prefer the crisper vape on the menthol flavours too.
Do you know what is the ID of those coils?
I do now because I just took out my measuring goodie and checked them... they are 2,5mm in diameter Guru!
Then you might be able to screw the 3mm ceramic wick in there! Use a long piece. Torch the end part well, cut to an angle at the end, maybe wet the angled end a bit and screw-push in (more screw with gentle push), in the same direction as the coil wrap. Cut of the angled part and cut the other end to size. Best flavour from the ceramic will come after the first dry burn.
Dry burn I do as follows. Ignite the juice on the wick with a flame. Let it burn out. Pulse dry burn and blow of any gunk. Now play a flame over any black parts on the wick - it will look as new.
Roger that Guru! Will give it a go today!
i made a new top cap for my Cyclone from briar wood. 
Damn nice bit of handy work there hands (excuse the pun).
Did you turn this on a lathe, and what do I need to do to get one of these from you?
Seriously, this is so cool!
i don't have a lathe and made it by hand. so it took way longer than it should have. i am working on getting a lathe for all these little fun tasks.
Oh dude that is awesome!
Beautiful work @hands - and here I thought the original was a pretty atty! Very minimalistic and just awesome.
The wood is just for display and fits OVER the Cyclone Top Cap!
it is a replacement top cap and not a cover. i did not treat the wood with anything because i was scared that it might dissolve in the juice. it did have a wood taste for a few minutes but either that's gone away or i got use to it. if the wood could pick up any flavor, it should pick up my adv soon
. the juice also don't soak trough the wood. its been two days and no sign of juice getting trough.i will keep using it and see how it goes and if there is any changes.

Let us know how long it takes until you start enjoying dry hits
i changed my wooden cyclone top cap by adding some sterling silver and made a cover for the normal cyclone top cap that just fits over the cap. made some corian bone drip tips(white) and some buffalo horn drip tips.
Stunning work!
That is just awesome.
