i would recommend you try it with the afc and open it so that only 1 side hole exists and have it half open infront of the coil.

Ok thanks
Will try the AFC cap with a single coil.
My Cyclone to do list is now as follows:
- try a lower ohm dual coil setup with AFC cap
- try a single coil setup with AFC cap (and only one slot open)
- try a single coil setup with the normal cap
LOL - too much to try and too little time...

After all this time I finally got around to building a dual coil for the Cyclops (Cyclone AFC)... Dual Micro Coils 1,5mm OD 10 wraps of 28g to come out at ,7Ω.
It's a pretty powerful hit with the Tropical Ice juice... the flavour isn't as good (for me anyway) as a single coil in the Cyclone but I will keep this set-up and play with cloud blowing when I tone the Tropical Ice down a bit!
But I think I'm pretty much done with Dual coils for the mean time...

drop the resistance to around .6ohms @Rob Fisher. duals start shining around there. BTW nice coiling

OK Take 2... Built a ,6Ω dual coil in the Red Cyclops and then epic fail... it doesn't like the tight thread on the SL/LP... OK will keep that one for when the other REO's arrive... note to self... the ceramic tweezers retain heat in the ceramic section... epic fail number 2...
Test the Atomic to see if it screws in... nope... OK let's try another Cyclops (2014 version) and yes that fits... OK let's build another dual coil at ,6Ω... success...
She looks ready to go... epic fail number 3... the air holes are bigger and over squonking on the Cyclops isn't as forgiving as the Cyclone!
Wow the Cyclops is certainly made for lung hitters and I had to really close the holes a lot to find my comfort zone... really nothing wrong with the cloud blowing capabilities of this set up!
The Cyclops looks stunning on the REO but I have a sneaky suspicion that I will return to the single micro coils on the Cyclone pretty quickly... there may be a sale of dual bottom fed atties coming up! May keep one or two for cloud blowing but the flavour isn't as pronounced for me... well I will persevere with it today but that's my initial reaction...

OK I think I get this whole dual coil and air flow thing... the cloud blowing capabilities are epic and the flavour actually isn't that bad... but potent Menthol Ice is probably not the juice to play with on dual coils... maybe the muted flavours like Seattle Vapour's Kryptonite and Kings Crown's Fight your face would be way more suited to the dual coils.
Bottom line is the Cyclops is for lung hits... and it's pretty awesome! So no fire sale is imminent and they will await the new REO's to arrive and get non-Menthol Ice in them!
Conclusion : There is a place for dual coils and I may need to find new juices for them!

Nice work Rob! im sticking to my single coil as the flavor superb and im not that crazy about the clouds. I caint wait to see how your odin will do though i think i may be alot better in dual coil mode.
Yip if you are a mouth to lung vaper then none of these dual coil atties are for you... but I have found on my journey that we keep looking for a bigger and better hit as we get used to something... I have very little doubt that dual coils for lung hits will all feature in our journey but I suspect my happy zone will remain the micro coil of around the 1Ω mark with Rayon in a Cyclone.
The Odin has potential from what the ECF REO loons have to say but I fear the overhang will all be too much for me!
@Rob Fisher - loving your Atty adventures - and the way you document your efforts and findings!
I agree - lung hitting is a different type of vaping altogether - and something one grows into I suppose.
I'm not there yet...

I would agree with you wholeheartedly sir if I was vaping 18MG joose
i might not have my REO yet, but when i received my Cyclone, i just had to give it a toot.
built a 1 Ohm coil. 8 wraps 26G 1.5mmID wicked it with some cotton and started dripping.
O MY Goodness, i would rate the cyclone a better vape that the RM2...
but im rating the RM2 from memory, so it might just be very close but the point is, i am liking this cyclone very much

Yip I don't want to exaggerate but suffice to say I ONLY have Cyclones on my REO's now. I hope that is still the case when my new Odin arrives soon!
Good to hear @PeterHarris
Really looking forward to getting my hands on mine! Im at work and the cyclone is being delivered to the house tho
Leaving at 3pm today though

Can we get some more coil pics for the cyclone.
I would like to see how yall are builing yours.

So I had some time on my hands when I got home yesterday, I decided to mess around with my cyclone. All of this was done with the Cyclops (afc cap) and rayon as wicking material.
Perhaps it's best to give some background as to what I've discovered I need from my vape.
A. Flavour of course!
B. Throat hit!
C. Lately I've discovered I enjoy a warmer type of vape. I've been hovering around .5 /.67 Ω lately on my reo grand and am loving the warmness of the vapour.
D. A draw that's tight enough for mouth to lung hits. I don't really enjoy lung hits
So kicking things off
Guys, please keep in mind this whole thing is very subjective, which most of you know. I just wanted to share and document my experiences thus far.
I started out with this (28g, 7 wraps, 2.0mm ID dual coil .52Ω)
I'm not sure if it was the setup or my lack of experience with dual coils but I found that this wasn't working for me the flavour just wasn't what I'm accustomed to. I was also really sure if the way I had wicked it perhaps was the cause of my dissatisfaction.
In any case,I ripped that out very quickly! Here's a pic of the abovementioned setup. Coils look very shady but this is something I'll touch on later on.
Next up was my favourite single coil at the moment.
Parallel 28g, 8 wraps, 2.0mm ID. .61Ω
After I inserted this onto the deck I noticed that it was almost too wide for the posts and because of that, the one end of the coil went a bit wonky as it had to bend inward to go into the post. I also quickly realised that the coils seem to need to be build quite close to the posts because of the very short distance between the posts and the rim of the juice well.
This coil also most felt too big for the deck and when I put the cap on, it looked as if it was touching. Being a paranoid person, in fear of causing a short, I ripped the coil out and went on to another, more simple build.
PS sorry about not having any pics of the above build.
The next build was a 7 wrap, of 26g on a 2mm ID at .65Ω
Things started turning out better here. The flavour was superb, it kicked like a mule and I found a perfect air flow for my vaping style. (Which was about 3/4 closed off) I was confident in this setup so much that I took it out with me for the evening. (without a back up device)
Over the course of the evening I began to enjoy it more and more. The flavour felt very crisp, the draw just right and the throat hit intense.
Let me just add that I had just come off using the plumeveil for a while where it impossible to find a tight draw at all even on its most closed off setting so after having that as a benchmark for afc attys the cyclone extremely really well in terms of its range of the tightness of the draw.
Here's a pic of the 26g build
Determined to perfect the dual coil, I got home last night and built another dual coil setup.
28g, 8 wraps, 1.4mm ID .49Ω
I wicked this one like I would normally wick. Meaning I dropped the idea of trying to use one large wick that goes through each coil.
I was really impressed with the build of this setup. For the first time I managed to get both coils to heat up evenly.
I have been testing this build out since last night and I feel that in terms of flavour, it is spot on. I have the afc holes closed off about 3/4 of the way. In terms of the draw this is not much looser than that of the red which is a perfect draw for my style.
Having found a setup that is producing what I consider to be great flavour, a monster throat hit, a perfect draw, I decided to pop the rm2 back on to compare. (I know it's coil is different -parallel 28g, 1.4mm, 8 wraps- but this was just to get a rough indication)
The result? It felt it to be on par in terms of flavour.
My last experiment for this initial testing out of the cyclone afc is a bit of an unorthodox one. I really wanted to find a way to comfortably fit my 28g 2.0mm, 8 wrap, parallel build so I did some googling and the result was this!
The resistance came out to .73 which I'm guessing is attributed to the longer leads. The coil was messy as he'll because of the admin required to insert it this way.
I moved the afc to the small, single coil, hole and I was blasted away by the flavour!
Comparing it to the exact setup on the rm2 I would describe the flavour off this coil in the cyclops as more rich and intense.
In closing this little experience, I would just like to share some initial thoughts on the cyclops in general as well as some pro's and cons which found.
I think the cyclops is a great rda, and a perfect all rounder to suit a range of different vaping styles. The people who want more airflow without sacrificing flavour should go for this atty without a doubt.
The hardcore Rm2 fans could also potentially find a happy place with this as the afc can be closed off enough in dual coil mode to give the tight draw they know and love. With a bit of experimentation, a flavour experience most certainly on par and potentially better then the rm2 (in the case for me) awaits.
Pros:
- Squonking seems much easier on the cyclone. Probably because there are two holes for the juice to feed to.
- This bf atty drains like a champion. Even better than the rm2.
- With the afc, for people who like a tight draw, there's wiggle room to adjust the draw slightly tighter or slightly looser depending on your mood at that point.
- The flavour is on par with the rm2, if not slightly better depending on the build and extent to which you open the afc.
- the afc cap pops off with ease and because of the lip around the deck you can squonk freely without juice spilling out.
Cons:
- It's not nearly as friendly to build with as a rm2. Even with a single coil. The arrangement of the posts and their distance from the edge of the desks makes you feel cramped. I felt I had to build the coil close to the posts because of this. The dual setup on the deck was a real pain for me and that's why my first set looked so bad
- The price: the afc cap can be purchased on its own but one still has to buy a cyclone to get the deck. It's quite a costly affair about (R1600) Now I know it's an original atty and not a clone but consider the fact that some reonauts are in vaping bliss with an atomic clone at R345 or even a reomiser at R500.
I know one can also consider the cyclone on its own which is also an option. Albeit still more expensive than the two mentioned above.
There is still a whole lot more of experimenting to be be done on my side but I just wanted to share this experience of mine with everyone.
Perhaps it's best to give some background as to what I've discovered I need from my vape.

- The flavour is on par with the rm2, if not slightly better depending on the build and extent to which you open the afc.
- the afc cap pops off with ease and because of the lip around the deck you can squonk freely without juice spilling out.
Cons:
- It's not nearly as friendly to build with as a rm2. Even with a single coil. The arrangement of the posts and their distance from the edge of the desks makes you feel cramped. I felt I had to build the coil close to the posts because of this. The dual setup on the deck was a real pain for me and that's why my first set looked so bad
- The price: the afc cap can be purchased on its own but one still has to buy a cyclone to get the deck. It's quite a costly affair about (R1600) Now I know it's an original atty and not a clone but consider the fact that some reonauts are in vaping bliss with an atomic clone at R345 or even a reomiser at R500.
I know one can also consider the cyclone on its own which is also an option. Albeit still more expensive than the two mentioned above.
There is still a whole lot more of experimenting to be be done on my side but I just wanted to share this experience of mine with everyone.
Awesome report on ur experiment. Really enjoyed that write and definitely motivated me to do some of my own experimentation with the atties I have. But now feeling more interested in getting a cyclone or something similar at least to get the experience u did.
Very well documented

Thanks @Andre
Thanks bud.
I think the experimentation is key. By trying out different setups It helps you get a good feel for what you really enjoy and what you're not so crazy about.
U r spot on. At the moment I have the rm2 and atomic and I'm loving both because different juices imo needs different Wick n coil configurations. But a Cyclops or cyclone is for sure on the cards now.

If you have the cash to spend, most definitely jump onto Robs group buy
My atomic should be here next week. Looking forward to getting stuck into that
Yeah the group buy is most likely going to be what I go for. Will be able to confirm with Rob by Monday.
I really enjoy the atomic. It's more of a cloud chasers choice tho. But when tweaked it suits a flavour junky too

Excellent post and thanks for sharing @Yiannaki
I appreciate the detail and the way you described the differences. Pros and Cons were also great.
Only saw this now.
Seems to me then that the Cyclops is really for those who prefer more airflow
If you very happy with the tighter draw on the RM2 then Cyclops probably not worth it
Am I reading it right?
