    (Preorder) Surface - RBA for the REOs including the Mini

    Looks an awful lot like a bottom fed phoenix/A7 to me. Neat, and I appreciate the tip on the preorder, but I think I'll stick to my ERAs for the time being.

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    so to jump on the 1/16th train again. . . I too thought I screwed up when I drilled my first ERA to 1/16, but now it's definitely my fave. However, I am curious to hear the longer term results from some of you other 1/16ers concerning your coil/wick setup life. Seems I was getting much more life...

    Physical Fitness Test..

    Yes, I believe ARMY is still 2 miles, and I'm not sure about the NAVY, but the Air Force (which I'm in) does indeed do 1.5 mile run tests. I too had problems with the run as a smoker and even now as a vaper, but as Tim said, I attribute it to not being in as good a shape as I'd prefer. I will...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Glad to hear and I couldn't agree more. I was kinda aggravated when I drilled my first ERA to 1/16, but now it's my favorite. I meant to go 3/64, but didn't have the right drill bit. I've since acquired one and have drilled my second ERA to 3/64. Personally, the flavor got better with both, but...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Glad you guys are liking the post wrap. It's definitely my standard setup now, but today I made a wick from cotton the same way. It's a thinner 100% cotton string, so I used 1 long strand doubled over twice for a total of 8 strands inside the coil. I wrapped 3/4 wraps of 32awg Kanthal A1 and...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Yep!! Brilliant! I tried a lot of different setups and this seems to be the easiest and most beneficial design so far. Thanks Pete54!!! :toast:

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Okay, here's a pic of the loop thing I've been using, works great with 32g Kanthal A1 and the wick that came with the ERA. Also a crappy paint sketch of what's going on there, lol.

    Share your wick and coil setups for your Reo!

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    I can't for the life of me find the post I saw it on, or remember who posted it, but I'm working on pics right now. It's hard to explain, but hopefully it will make sense with the pic. Gimme a minute, lol.

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    I always torch the little piece of kanthal before I wrap it, and only torch the wick when I remember. It doesn't seem to do anything except turn the silica a little more golden colored, lol. I thought it was to burn off the little hairs that may be loose, but the entire wick turns black before...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    I knew I couldn't be the only one, lol. Loose screws was my first tip. Sure was hell trying to figure that one out though. :vapor:

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Thanks for the offer, I'm gonna try an idea to fix it and redrill it, but I'll definitely let you know if it doesn't work out. For now, I'm using a small rubber band for braces to adjust the airflow. It's not quite pretty enough for my liking, but it's nice to be able to fine tune it for the...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Well. . . I kinda wish I saw this before I just went and drilled one of my ERAs out to 1/16. :( I too think the stock hole is too tight and figured maybe you just got your numbers backwards. Now I have a 1/16 hole that's too airy, bummer. The flavor/vapor is a little better, but it's definitely...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    Maybe I'm not getting it, but isn't 3/32 BIGGER than 1/16? If 1/16 is too airy, how is 3/32 perfect? 1/16=2/32 right?

    Era rba And your Reo Warrenty

    As Dave said, I've been using an oring under the ERA to lift it up a bit but still make contact. Works perfect for me, and even allows it to fit the tight catch cup on my VVW (well close enough to work at least). I certainly don't blame ya Rob for charging for repairs from this. But I also hope...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    I picked up one of these steel drip tips and also a plastic black-with-white-swirl in the same design. These have funny white orings and seem to fit very loosely in both my ERAs. I even tried changing out the oring to a standard drip tip oring I got from madvapes and it was even worse. I managed...

    ERA - easy rebuildable atomzier

    So just to share, I just figured out what was goin wrong on the ERA I've been using on my Grand. Turns out, I was wrapping for a very low coil, like 1.2ohm, but kept ending up with it reading around 1.6-1.9. I checked if the coil was touching anywhere and made sure the atty connection was good...

    It's now time for Reo Mini VV

    I agree Dave, I don't like Major either, but I was looking for a direct antonym of Mini, so it is what it is. The only problem with something like Monster (which I like) is that it leaves less room for even bigger mods. We need a large sounding name, but still leave room for the next big thing...

    VVG Doors?

    But, but, but then your poor Reos will be naked until the doors get to each other, lol!
