    Another modified rba

    Just to add. If I were looking for an upgrade to RM2, the features I'd be looking for would be a better possibility of dual coils (can do in RM2, but it's pretty tricky), and AFC. Before the milling of catch cups, the selection was severely limited by diameter of the atty to modify. Now it's...

    Another modified rba

    Rob, I hope you won't mind my honest opinion. RM2 beats the pants off the IGO, by a long shot. Matter of fact (or rather, my opinion), even RM1 beats it. I've ripped apart a few IGOs to turn them to bottom feeders. Here are the problems I've encountered with them: 1. Posts are too close...

    Vaping isn't just about quitting smoking, is it?

    I disagree. It *is* quitting smoking. Just because it looks like smoking, doesn't make it the same. If I quit drinking, but still drink coffee, that doesn't mean that I still "drink".

    Hammer Clone

    SuperMagnetMan Personally, I had issues with them. 3 magnets were not stong enough to keep it standing, 4 were too fat to let the switch work. I sanded down the outer coating on the magnets, now 4 work perfectly, and they also reduce throw to less than 1mm :) Just a fair warning that it...

    Chi You magnets don't fit this switch :( The switch from Chi You fits though

    The Chi-You APV - From Korea

    I realize that I am about to be beaten, but I'd like to chime in with the clone. The clone (at least one that I have) has some outstanding quality. Threads are smooth, polish is great. Engravings were ok-ish, but I had an issue with having original logo on a fake, so I polished them off. Button...

    Why no options?

    Never mind, sorry. I was talking about mech Reo

    Why Nemesis?

    Doesn't all the same apply to Chi You? :)

    Why Nemesis?

    Don't get me wrong, Nemesis clone is one fine mech. I'm just trying to understand why is it more popular than, say, Astro or Chi You clones? Both are shorter than Nemesis, Chi You has AFC, Astro is telescoping. Both hit very hard -- to my understanding, all three have very similar voltage drop...

    Pulse Genesis clone

    ...from Fasttech. This thing is freakishly good! Took a bit of tedium to set it up, but it functions great! I have it with a solid SS mesh wick, 28 gauge kanthal, single coil at 1.7 ohm. The weird thing is that my usual genesis is about .8-1 ohm, but this seems to perform at higher resistances...

    Smallest 18350 with a kick?

    I believe fasttech has measurements.

    Hammer Clone

    I can't even take that apart to get to the spring :( Edit: OMG, it works now. I gave up trying to be gentle with the 510 connection (since it didn't work), and took some pliers to the plastic part. Stretched the spring, and it works beautifully now. So to recap: 1. Sanded the brass insert for...

    Frustrated with my Reomizer!

    Glad you like it. To increase throat hit without losing too much flavor, you can take the very same coil, and raise it a little. And when I say "little", I mean "little" :)

    I may have a fluke one from Tobeco, but it is close to unusable. The only way I can vape it is either with AOIS, or after replacing the 510 connector with the one from Chi You.

    Reomizer Issues

    Based on the picture, I could suggest a few things: 1. Use a smaller diameter coil. I usually wrap them around a 1/16" drill bit (1.5mm) 2. Use a much smaller resistance coil. From the looks of it, you have about 2-2.5 ohm. Try about 1ohm, or 8 wraps on a 1/16" drillbit 3. Move the coil...

    REO Family Photos & Storage Ideas III

    It's easier to hide tube mods. But more difficult to explain to your boss, why you have an adult source of entertainment in your office.

    Frustrated with my Reomizer!

    You can get much better flavor from moving the coil much closer to the airhole. Also, I don't subscribe to the theory of as little cotton as possible :) I seem to get boatloads of flavor with boatloads of cotton. Yarn in this case. So, both lowering the coil and getting it closer to the...

    What difference in vape is there between 28g and 30 or higher?

    That sounds great! Maybe the one time I had to wait for them was a fluke, where they didn't have the wire I needed it stock. Glad it worked better for you!
