It would be an easy fix. Insert the mandrel, and pull the coil up slightly to create more tension. Should pull the wonky wrap into place.Nope, but I had to double check on the original photo. I took to it with pliers to get a prettier micro coil, which made that last turn "flare" a bit
Nothing is more frustrating when you squash the coil with the pliers and it does that!
Then again, maybe I'm just a little OCD with my coils.
Let us know how it vapes.
Very nice vape I must say. Full flavour, nice and cool and great clouds for a 1ohm coil. Me happy
Hi @Silver, only getting back in the swing of things this week and only saw your post now. I will take a pic when I next do a dry burn as I have relatively new coils. It will be in a cyclone though but you will get the picture I'm sure. My process for building the coil is as follows:
- Burn a piece of ribbon till red - repeat on both sides
- Burn a piece of ecowool
- Allow to cool
- Fold ecowool in half
- Wrap an ugly coil starting from the looped side of the ecowool. I tend to keep coil closely spaced and wrap fairly tightly but not too tight
- Snip off tag ends of ecowool leaving a few extra mm's for trimming once fitted
- Using a set of pliers, burn made up coil and wick a few times on each side again
- Fit coil to base on ohm meter, check ohms, trim protruding coil legs
- Cut ecowool loop and trim to ensure ends fit inside cap
- Trim opposite tag ends, I usually leave the bottom strand longer and fold so end sits in middle of base
- Position coil to desired position
- Fit cap and test ohms and check for shorts
- Remove cap, fit atty to reo and dry burn
- Bob's your uncle
It varies @kimbo
When i am experimenting, maybe a few days
But my workhorse coils are typically in for at least 4 to 6 weeks. I had one coil in for 9 weeks I think. Obviously rewicking frequently though.
After a while, i find the coil loses a bit of its structure and tightness (i mostly do compressed micros) and despite dry burning there are dark spots and sometimes gunk that is hard to get out without damaging the coil. It also becomes brittle and sometimes just breaks when I am handling the atty.
Edit - i am referring to normal Kanthal round wire and cotton wicking here
Indeed @jtgrey
Those were my thoughts exactly when I fired up the Reo/RM2 for the first time.
Hard to believe actually
And a real bonus for those who like "tightish" mouth to lung draws
I have to agree. Trying to build my Odin to get the same flavour profile as the RM2
Let me know how it goes but from what i can tell from other Odin users and from what I have experienced on their Odins, the Odin excels more at lung hits
I think the RM2 is a magical atty
When you tweak it to your preference, the flavout and throat hit can be configured to your exact preference
And its so easy to build on
Just a tip for aligning the coil to the airhole. Take a black koki pen and mark where the airhole is on the base of the RM2 when the cap is screwed in fully. Then when you are building your coil, you know where to put the coil so that it lines up perfectly.
I make a black koki mark with a permanent black koki each time I buid on it. It disappears after a day or two of normal use

OK it's time! I need to build a Clapton Coil for my RM2!
First try was a bust... too many wraps and a resistance of 1,9Ω and too long a ramp up time as well!

OK this time only 5 wraps and the coil resistance was much better at 1,1Ω!
Vapour production was pretty good with the 1,1Ω coil but the flavour is muted compared to the micro coil... I guess as a flavour junkie I need to stick to micro coils... will vape it for a while and see how it goes.
Wow and wow, I am far beyond impressed. Did you build all of that yourself? Far above my pay grade. I console myself with @Yusuf Cape Vaper's declaration that the best coil for the best vape is still the micro coil

I cheated a little... well a LOT... I got some ready made Clapton coil from Vapor DNA in the US.
Ah, that is more our styleI cheated a little... well a LOT... I got some ready made Clapton coil from Vapor DNA in the US.

No argument there... but I did have to wrap it around the screwdriver and trim it...
lol Mr fisher that is a awesome looking coil
Your clapton looks awesome Mr Fisher! You would really enjoy it with a bigger ID on a high powered device. Maybe try one on a other atty and drop it onto the sigelei. The high power speeds up the heating process and brings on the flavor. However, simple Micro's do the trickWow and wow, I am far beyond impressed. Did you build all of that yourself?

Roger that! Thanks... my Sigelei 100W Plus should be here tomorrow! I wonder if the Goblin will like a Clapton Coil?
Problem over there is you'll be pushing high wattages. So with the goblins small chamber, it might be a bit hot for your liking. I do however know that @RIEFIE has gone quite low with his Goblin and he loved it. So maybe it doesn't hear up too much. Give it a try
