Another modified rba

[Datalux]

Can someone with experience compare the the following:

1. RM2.0
2. Igo-S
3. Cyclone w/o AFC

Looking for comparative pictures on a REO Grand, function, ease of use (rebuilding).

Looking to get a second Reo and rba but not sure which one to get. I have a Reo w/ RM2.0 now.
Considering Grand or Low Profile w/Sub-ohm kit and at least two (2) more rba's. Maybe the Igo-s AND Cyclone and decide for myself??

Just hate to waste money (especially on a Cyclone, if the Igo-S works just as well)

I've got a LP Grand with LP RM2 inbound. In the next few days I'll be able to compare that to a Cyclone with and without AFC.

I started out with RM2 and when i got my stock Cyclone b/f, i thought the flavor was a little better (micro coil .75 ohms, cotton wick on either)… some say the smaller chamber improves flavor.

Then i tried the Cyclone with AFC and duals… .5 ohms +/- .05 … tons of vapor but less flavor….

put the stock Cyclone, single coil again for a while….

then back to RM2… decided it was better flavor and more vapor than the Cyclone (the RM2 airhole is larger…perfect)

Bought another RM2…. sold the Cyclone. Running 2 RM2's on both my units.

Moral of the story? there are a lot of factors in making an atomizer hummm … and i'm a simple guy.

ANNNND…. …… ymmv lol.

Got my black Wrinkle LP Reo with LP RM2 today. Here are some photos with two LP Reo Grands.

Regular milled RM2 , LP RM2

Regular Cyclone - Cyclone with AFC top

Cyclone - LP RM2

LP RM2 - Cyclone + AFC top

Currently I like a single coil in the RM2 with mouth hits and I do a dual coils and lung hits on the Cyclone + AFC, completely different animals but I like them both. I've yet to try single coils in either the regular Cyclone or Cyclone + AFC. I'll try to do that this week.

 

[Datalux]

Wow, the Cyclone + AFC is considerably bigger than the RM2 but the Cyclone - AFC is noticeably smaller.... hmmm. Don't suppose you have an Igo-S lying around? Thanks for taking the time to post the pic's - big help!

just discovered another advantage (for me at least) of the RM2 over the Igo.

being a clumsy old guy, i often knock over my mods on my desk. no problem, right?

tonight i picked one up and the atty was tilted to one side. moved it and it was tilted to the other side. dang, did i hose the 510 connector?


must... keep... fiddling

by the time i realized it was my new igo-s and not a trusty threaded cap rm2, i fiddled my newly-wrapped coil away into oblivion





while it lasted, it was the best coil i ever wrapped...

 

[thinkingaboutit]

The threaded cap is the big difference for me too. Quality of vape, I don't think I can tell the difference yet.

I am putting a second coil on my igo today...not because I need to, but I went a little under one ohm and I want to go up to 1.1. or so where I prefer to hang out.

Got my 2 igo attys today.

Looks great on the General.

This will be my deployment setup.

Going to have to yank some drip tips out of the storage unit. Dont want to lose the chalice tip.

You trust the o rings that much xobe? I would think threaded cap would be better.

 

[Xobeloot]

Shrug. I'm gonna give it some on-the-job pocket testing. I may wind up digging a couple RM2's out of the storage unit.

I built identical .7 ohm coils/cotton and put the IGO on the Mini 2.1 and the RM2 on the Grand. Quality of vapor production/flavor, squankability, both fantastic. Guess it comes down to personal preference as so many thing do.

 

[Xobeloot]

I'm enjoying the igo greatly. It is certainly a bit tougher to build on than the rm2, but i like being able to make slight shifts in airflow direction.

The rm2 makes it simple to build the coil in position with the air hole... For me it is a toss-up... I like them both, but I prefer the rm2 for ease of build and ceramic deck. It gives me far more wiggle room to make silly coils.

As for style, i really love the igo w/ it's carbon fiber shorty tip.

Picked up a b/f Origen!!! v2.... for my modded Grand.... boom!

made 2 horizontal micro's 26g nichrome, 8 wraps each around aprox 1.3mm ID = 0.39 ohms; perfect

.... the base is WIDE which i like (biggish chamber)... ...won't fit.

I hope to get my Grand lowered because imo you only need a very small drip well anyway.

Anyone use the b/f Origen on a Reo yet? Wondering how far down to go?

Edit: if feasible I'd like to send a stock Grand to Rob to mill for me

 

[Xobeloot]

Would you pm me some pictures of that atty under the hood. I've been debating one of those, but need to see it's engine.
