Rhaps, I've got few questions about this atty :)

1. Does it have some space inside to wrap the silica around so it absorbs more liquid (the reasos is so it doesn't leak from the airhole)- like on the pic below:

2. When you sqonk, have a vape and put it in your pocket does leftovers from the juice leak in your pocket or they are kept in the atty?
3. How many vapes can you have with simple squonk with normal silica setup.

Thanks in advance for your reply ;)

1. Not on the outside of the posts, but there is lots of room inside...not sure how you would do it though.

2. Yes, but that is because I didn't follow the instructions regarding the gasket.

3. I can get about 8-10 vapes before I need to rejuice it...but this will depend on on your voltage setting and how you vape.

But most importantly...DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THIS. Not because of a risk of shorting your mod, but you can break your atomizer trying to get it off. :facepalm: Ya, I'm THAT girl. :glare::glare::laugh:

Just got my REOmizer today and I love it. It works just as good as the ERA. Not as smexy as the ERA but very clean looking. I changed the coil immediately and to about 7 big wraps of 30Awg kanthal around a folded piece of 3mm silica and wound up with about a 2.3ohm coil juiced it up and its vapin like a champ:vapor: I don't think its airy at all like a few people have said but I also drilled out my ERA's to 1/16 and think I may drill this 1 out as well:D Thanks Rob for an extremely affordable RBA that works perfectly on the Reo buddy:) and I love the little screwdriver

I recently was doing some DIY pluming in my kitchen and noticed all the brass fitting came with warnings about only using Brass That Is Lead Free. Are Rob's mod RBA's re-chromed after the hole was drilled?

I have not taken the time to confirm it, but I have read in a few different places where it has been stated that chrome plating will not stick to brass with lead contents. So for these would have be pretty much lead free brass for them to be chromed in the first place. I don't think they would pose any risk even if a little brass was exposed.

Got mine in today too! I threw it on my VVW with a quickness, and am happily vaping away on the stock coil. It's the same size as the Chalice (it JUST fits in the VVW's catch cup) but somehow seems smaller. The holes in the posts for running the coil's legs are teeny, I'm definitely gonna need to get a magnifying lamp to rebuild this one... but I'll cross that bridge when this coil is done. I do find it to be airier than I like, so I did the carto condom ring deal on it to partially cover up the hole in the cap and it's hittin' schweeeet. Nicely done, Rob, and thanks!

There's a wee hole in the bottom, on the underside of the floor of the atty. What's that all about? Sorry if it's been answered and I missed it.

Rob, if you'd just put this out a couple of months earlier you would have saved some of us some big $. Oh well.

Now don't forget about that hybrid Reo you promised me. You know, the Reo with the built in atomizer, 10ml juice bottle, DNA20 chip, single 18650 with on-board USB charging port... Black/Silver Vein. Yeah, I'll take two of those please.

Nice job Rob, this will fit the bill perfectly for many folks.

I have my two up and running right now. Its good to get a few more REOs back in rotation :D

First one on a VV Grand with 7 wraps of 30g A1 and its kicking out a great vape.
Second one is on a standard woodvil with 4 wraps of 32g A1 and reading 1.6 ohms :)

As you know its no Mark Bugs Chalice but at 1/5 the cost its a darn fine RBA.
Kinda bummed it fills my catch cup sometimes but hey it is what it is and folks who use this as an entry to the world of RBAs will be pleased I think. Thanks for stocking it up there in ME for all of us REOfolk.
