I don't like rayon. I find it mutes flavour and I lose a lot of the depth. Especially on your more complex Flavours and dessert type Flavours.

The perfect Reo build?

Yip agree with your statement, be it cotton, rayon, pure, uncooked, cooked, it kind of mute the subtle flavors for me compared to ekowool or ceramic. To make sure I don't "bullsh#t" myself, I diluted various e-juice with pure zero nic VG (70:30 ratio) and with cotton as well as rayon there is almost zero flavor, with ekowool and ceramic I am still able to taste flavor.
I am sporting a 26g 1.2mm ID 8 wraps around 0.65ohm(if I can remember correctly, nowadays I just rebuild the same coil almost daily so I don't bother with an ohm reader) with cotton wick (sometimes rayon depending on the juice) on the reotomic and I am really enjoying it, crisp, flavourful vape.
Yes, I agree....my favourites are still ceramic and ekowool, but I do like my micro coils. Let me qualify that last part: On dual coils on the Cyclops micro coils still works best for me, but on the Reomizer2 (single coil) I find ugly coils on ceramic or ekowool works better as I do not have to squonk as much.
This seems to be more or less the standard (varying ID and wire and resistance) for Reotomic lovers.
Is there a reason you build a new coil almost daily? Mine lasts for months.
I think it is more of a mindset thing, some of the juices gunk up my coils and I do at least 4 x 6ml reo bottles a day, and change out the cotton min twice a day sometimes more depending on the flavour changes, and I really like the vape of not only a fresh wick but a fresh coil. Although if I am just rotating with subtle and fruity flavors I use that coil for a couple of days. And some flavours just taste better with cotton and others with rayon. Need to get some ecowool to see how that fairs to my vaping style
That's fair, some vapers prefer a fresh coil to a dry burnt one. Some need the "peace" inherent in building a coil. Yes, you must certainly try some Ekowool.
OK... there are enough of you experts out there using Ekowool and ugly coils so I guess there must be something to this Ekowool story.
Let's give it a go then shall we? 28g Kathal, 2mm Ekowool on a Cyclone. Single Coil.
I thought I would need a needle to put in the centre of the Ekowool but it seems a 1,9mm screwdriver is better.
My OCD is now taking a little strain because that is ugly!
OMG that is so so ugly and messy! Will have to do way better next time... but let's test it anyway!
I will vape Avril and Brooklyn side by side today. Brooklyn has the Ekowool, I had to choose a Cyclone top with a slightly bigger air hole... I guess all the wire and Ekowool stuffed into the small cave has something to do with that.The vape on the Ekowool is most certainly more muted that the crisp Rayon but let's persevere and see how it goes as the coil and Ekowool settles in. I love the idea of going a week or more without having to change wicks! The resistance of the coil is 1,6 Ohm and I guess I should go lower with less wraps and maybe it will fit better in the Cyclone and the flavour may improve. Let's see how we go.

Haha sies oom @Rob Fisher, dan plak jy nog prentjies van daai lelike ding opi forum
Vaping with Thor the Reo Mini
They are so cute? Are you not a fan of the Mongoose?
O nee!! The cats are STUNNING!! I'm talking about the coil

Hehehe yip the coil is pretty KAK!
Oh my guinness Rob - I agree with Annemarie, that kitch thing on the pic will mute any flavor
OK will try again now because it's actually pretty useless and muted.
Hehehe yip the coil is pretty KAK!
With 1.9mm coil former, rather go for 4 wraps - it will look and vape better
Hehehe yip the coil is pretty KAK!
Haha don't worry, as long as it works
Edit: see now it doesn't even work.

Yip, that will choke the Cyclone. I think you need the wraps much closer to each other with so many wraps. And the tails can be even shorter. Did you torch the Ekowool to white hot beforehand? For me the 1.9 mm screwdriver for the center is just too big.

Thanks @johan that helps! Will do that!
Do you torch the Ekowool after you have coiled it or before?
Ahhh OK will use a 1,5mm screwdriver like I do for my Micro Coils... And that also answered my question to @johan... torch before !
Sweet! Thanks!
Quick and ugly coils with ekowool are all I do on my Reomizers
My staple too. After quite some time, have been messing around with coils again thanks to the cyclops/cyclone. Still can't find anything better than my double folded ecowool with ribbon 5 wrap ugly coil.
I have never tried to torch it with the mandrel in situ. I just torch as is. But sounds like a good idea as it would help keep the center hole more open.
@Rob Fisher just a ecowool tip that I found helps prevent the ends unraveling. After a solid torch, wrap coil, once wrapped, torch again and then fit. Try using side cutters to snip the ecowool wick to size instead of scissors.
As per my previous post I usually double over the ecowool and have also found that if wicking is impaired if I wrap the coil too tightly.
Good luck.

Let's try again in not such of a rush this time and with expert advice having just been recieved.
Torched white hot.
This wrap while far from perfect is certainly better.
OK not gonna win any awards but rather a lot better than the first one... let's just see if it makes a difference and then I can continue playing on making ugly coils look better!
Oh WOW that made a difference! I will continue to tweak and play during today... at least it's starting to taste a lot better!
