    Hornet vs ERA question

    Thank you, Zerrrro. I do have Rob's RBA 2.0 on my grand, and love it. Thinking about trading my mini for 2.1 and fitting a slightly bigger RBA on it, as opposed to the Hornet. I might try those cheapo dripper ERA clones, to convert them to bottom feeding. A $6 ERA is hard to say no to, and...

    Thank you! Now I have to do some fancy trading :)

    Hornet vs ERA question

    Hey, Reonauts! Quick question -- cap set aside, are ERA and Hornet the same size? Or does the ERA have bigger guts? I have a slight beef with the Hornet to where it's very finicky about the size and shape of the coil I'm putting on it -- it doesn't seem to like anything but the tiniest microcoil...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    I know what you mean. On the Hornet, I can't even get a 14ga coil to work very well at all. Only micro coil. On both reomizers though, the 14ga coils work fine. Incidentally, those coils are just large enough diameter to be able to squeeze a 3mm silica wick through, without recoiling.

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    14 gauge needle is the same outer diameter as a wooden toothpick. Just saying :) And toothpick is not conductive. So, Russ, are you abandoning your microcoil ship? :)

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    It's bought. Rob from ReosMods.com makes them out of some (unknown to me) Chinese RBA, and mods them specifically for use with Reos. So far they seem to work spectacularly. I've tried all kinds of different shape coils and different materials for wicks, and so far have not managed to make...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    That's when you need a dremel for that needle :)

    Just to clarify and prevent confusion. The white in the bottom of the atomizer is ceramic floor :)

    Very nice tutorial! Thank you!

    Are non-genesis, or non-tank coils accepted here? :)

    Genesis Reomizer 2

    The right side does touch the floor. Vs cotton, I'd say flavor is a bit cleaner, and, since it's dry-burnable, it's easier to clean when it starts gunking up and losing flavor. I think what makes it hold more juice is the ends. The ends are folded, so in the center, the wick is rolled very loose.

    Reo Mini 2.1 vs Reo Grand

    I would also recommend the Grand for a first Reo. Sure, it's a bit bigger, but it gives you more options as far as where you can use it, due to a larger bottle and battery. With me, it lasts me the entire work day, whereas my mini (not 2.1, the little one) requires battery changes, and by the...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    I've had a ton of bad builds with original phoenix, even more with A7, and a few with the Hornet. I'm yet to manage an unacceptably bad build with RM2. Big kudos to Rob, this thing is designed to be russian-proof :)

    New To Vaping & New Reo Owner

    Sorry, I can't answer the atomizers questions -- I never got the hang of them except for cisco 306 bridged. All the rest of my atomizers were bridgeless 510s and I would constantly flood them. A7, however, is very nice! There's a big sticky thread on its safe operation, you definitely want to...

    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    RBAing actually is difficult, with some atomizers. But so far with RM2, no matter what coil I make, they work. Some better than others, but all seem to work pretty well.

    Genesis Reomizer 2

    Ok, got my 500 SS mesh, and tried a second incarnation of the horizontal wick. This one seems better. About 10 hits per squonk, and no metallic taste until it's really dry. Here's what I did differently: 60mm long strip of mesh, about 12mm wide, unoxidized. On each of the long sides, I...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    I think it might also have to do with the spacing between the loops, for the vapor to escape. In a round wire micro coil, there's still enough room for the vapor to come out between them.

    Dual coil RM2

    I'm really glad dual coils work for someone :) I tried a number of times and couldn't make it work well enough to justify the trouble. In my travels, the same effect could be reached by twisting the same wire and making a single coil out of that. I think it was probably because I couldn't get...

    Dual coil RM2

    Unoxidized is much easier. Just remember -- do not pulse-burn it on your Reo! The spring will not like you for that. Burn it on another mod, and when it all glows even, put it on your Reo and enjoy :)
