RM2 with dual air holes

[jifjifjif]

Good morning and happy "day before Woodvil day"

I have an RM2 that I drilled a second air hole in so that I could try dual coils. I realize that I am not a dualie kind of guy, so I'd like to plug one of the holes up for good. Any suggestions? Tape on the outside would be easy, but not very attractive. Should I drip some solder in there? Will it "fuse" with the exposed brass in the air hole?

Thank you all and Happy Friday. This weekend's gonna' rock.

I believe Rob sells replacement caps for the rm2. I personally wouldn't want solder in a juice contact area.

Solder will work a good cleaning will be needed

I don't think enough heat would be generated for this to become an issue IMHO. There are a lot of options here depending on how good you want it to look and how much you want to spend, everything from a toothpick or liquid steel epoxys to a new top cap as mentioned would do it.

Hey bud I have been wanting to put a second air hole opposite the original air hole instead of opening it up to see what kind of vape it would produce. I'm curious to know if you tried vaping the single coil with the 2 air holes, each bringing air in at opposite sides of the coil. Have been wanting to experiment with this, lower ohms cooler vape etc.

I have not. I've only tried it with dual coils. Sorry.

Thank you all for suggestions. I actually like toothpick idea and since Rob seconded solder, I may go this route.

A small piece of brass rod or a brass rivet tapped in with a hammer are other options. Former from a hobby shop, later maybe a cutlers rivet or from a leather craft shop.

I could trade ya a cap with one air hole if ya want. I am a dually kinda person. Was it very hard to get the duals in the rm2, or fairly easy (if you're not a coordinated type of person)

 

[jifjifjif]

It was pretty darn easy, actually. I'm not sure that swapping top caps would work though. I think they are each threaded to fit the rm2 base they came with. Maybe I'm wrong though.

oh never thought about that, dunno.

I'd buy a new topcap.

You can always line the new airhole up by using an o-ring between the atty threads closest to the build deck and the topcap and the one that the RM2 comes with is perfect for the job, although you have to stretch it a bit to fit.

Alternatively, you can sand the new top cap down to get the air hole lined up on your old base.

It's brass (mostly) and mills very easily - just sit it on fine sandpaper laid flat on a table and rub gently (keeping it sitting level), checking fit often.

Doing this, you can rotate the positioning of the air hole >180 degrees with ease.
