    Copy cat RM2

    COPY CAT! ;) I used an old 510 to 510 connector to chuck the RM up in a cordless drill and started with 220 grit to remove the nickel plating. Followed by 800 grit wet-n-dry to remove the 220 scratches, then the 2000 grit wet with a little dish soap polished it right up. Used some...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    Any wire beyond the contact point doesn't change the resistance, just like you can check the resistance on an inch or so of wire while it's still connected to the rest of the spool of wire. :)

    Cotton wicks

    I have cotton balls , organic cotton balls, cotton yarn, the CVS rolled cotton and I have used Q-tips. If I ever need more cotton it will be because what I have went bad from old age. I don't have the taste buds to really tell that much difference but I had to try em all,, :blink:

    Cotton wicks

    I get 2 to 3 sometimes even 4 to 5 days, I don't change them because it's burnt I just like the fresh new clean wick. With non flavored a wick will go a week easy, the flavors you use will make a difference in how often the wick will need changed. when I started using the RM2 the mistake I...

    Copy cat RM2

    The picture doesn't capture the color it really looks nice in normal lighting, the RM is so polished it looks more like gold then brass. I just got the copper vein door a couple days ago. It's my favorite color combo, for now, :)
