I honestly can't tell much of a difference between 400 and 500, and I have them both. Even side by side, I have to get the magnifying glass out to even see the difference.
There's quite a bit of discussion and debate about them, but usually by genesis and zenesis owners where the mesh is rolled into long tubes and has to operate like a straw in pulling juice out of a bottom tank onto the coil at the top. Not nearly as critical when it sits on the base of a bottom fed mod; it only has to have a hollow space in the middle to conduct juice to the coil inside and out.
Her, Clyde, are you going to bring any scrap pieces of mesh to Ardmore, I'd like to try one in an ERA before I have OKC Vapes send me some. Oh, oh, just thought of something... if you happen to get by OKC Vapes before Ardmore if you can pick me up a sheet I'll pay you for it when we meet. I just got some silver NR wire from them and totally forgot to put a sheet of mesh in with the order. (I'm an idiot.)
I imagine either 400 or 500 would be fine. Thanks.

I grabbed an old carto tank o-ring and put it at the base to cover up the brass:
Also, I think the driptip it comes with is great. Normally I would have changed it to one of my shorties, but I think this one matches the atty perfectly.
Nice lookin setup bro. That's a 2.1 with a 2.0 on it right?
Indeed. I think the 2.1 well is probably big enough to fit a reomizer 2.0 even without machining down the base like they are now. But it would be just barely.
Which AW IMR battery is 2700mah? I have some 26500 AW batteries dying to go in something.
Damn juice junkies why not just go all out and have a backpack 10 gal bottle
That'd be a little excessive, and heavy. I was thinking more along the lines of a pack with three separate 100oz Camelbak bladders. Those hooked up to one of these:
All day vape in one, after dinner vape in the second, and a drinking vape (Pluid?) in the third. Just program in your usage rate and what time of day you want to switch flavors. Viola! Automated vaping. No more of that tiresome bottle pumping.
With the weight savings you could install larger solar panels to power everything, and charge your cellphone.

She seems ok with it.
So, I got mine this afternoon, and just did my first coil and cotton wick in it. By far, the easiest RBA I have worked with to date. Now, I just need to break it in to bring out the full flavor. Thank you, Rob, for a perfect addition to a perfect mod!
That looks great... do you happen to know what the size of that larger o-ring is?
I'll pick you up a sheet of 400 before I go down there, no problem. It's roughly two miles from my office.
Everyone else in the world thinks all lawyers are slugs... but I know better. Thank you kind sir.

I'd offer you a 4 x 4 piece, But I think you're going to like it too much to be satisfied with it.
EDIT: Whoa, just noticed you were going to use it on a ERA, which does NOT have a ceramic base. You'll have to oxidize the wick before you use it, then. Take the wick on whatever you roll it on, dip it in some ejuice or VG and set fire to it a couple or three times.
Since this is the case, I'd suggest you takea piece of mine and try it first before you order a foot square sheet.
I highly suggest using it on the RM2; it was a bit of a PITA to use it on other RBAs. RM2 is good because of the ceramic base and plenty of room to place it on the floor.

Clyde what does the inside of the cap look like? Is it chrome plated Brass like the outside? I am wondering how much work it would be to get the outside all brass. I gots sandpaper.
From what I can see, there's a brass colored strip of about 1/8" near the top (DT side) of the inside of my RM2
Clyde, I know about the oxidizing and burning VG, already figured all that in. Been watching all the videos and reading all the threads about it, just been too lazy to order any. (Lazy is my only talent but I'm really, really good at it.) Besides, I'll end up with a Reomizer 2.0 before too long, can't be the only one without a war story. Right now I'm playing with the new Killers, might even break out an old tank and a Provari just for giggles and grins.
If you do get by OKC go ahead and pick me up a sheet of 400. If I can't steal it while you're napping I'll pay you for it.

Yes please bring some mesh with you! I would also really like to see this setup done properly and give it a test run.
