Baby Grand

[Quigsworth]

Is it just me or is the Atomic a little fat in the useless, frilly metal dept.?...so I put one on a serious diet, shaved it down to the bone, basically made a perfect cylinder out of one (also removed the useless bottom lip...what, is the cap going to slide down?)

Then I got to thinking, I bet I could stick that "inside" a Grand...so I did...

Clever. Especially the air holes. Now do a mini!

Although I don't think the RM2 spoils the low profile or good looks of the Reo Grand or Mini, I do like the idea of a hidden atty. Good work, Quigsworth!

Nice. The Recessed Reo.

Man you sure do have a lot of time on your hands. Pretty impressive

That's just awesome, Quigs. Really slick.

Reminds me of this...

If only I could build something like that!

Anything to keep busy, I'm the same way. Great project, and get well soon.

None of my mods are ever meant as a disrespect to the Reoville establishment or the device(s)...in fact, just the opposite...I'm striving to showcase the endless options the Reo platform affords.

I can only imagine if I was doing this kinda stuff to Provaris (not that I could, a tube is a tube)...a ProVarinati lynch mob would've formed by now [emoji1]

Talk about your micro surgery...I don't even know what would fit in there?...may have to dig out one of my old Meatsneakers RCA jack attys...wow, did I ever just date myself

That's really cool, but this little bottle is not going to last a long time

 

[jifjifjif]

I think it's great, man.

Glad you're having some fun while home.

 

[nerak]

You are inventive, that's for sure!

But I would wonder if the heat off the atty would be a little much that close to the battery.

That is super clean, love the look.

WOW Quigs, now that's a bit of handywork right there. Very impressive and no simple feat pulling this one off. You come up with some truly incredible modifications for a Reo.Great job, you're an inspiration to try new things.

Hope it's nothing serious buddy.Get well and please do keep making more great mods, you have amazing talent and great craftmanship

Not something I'd want, but an interesting modification just the same.

Have nothing but time on my hands 24/7/365, but all of my metal, wood and gun shop floor and hand tools - metal, wood and parts stashes are in storage since the health issues took having a real life away. I bought some stuff to do minor mods on my Reo's... the larger bottles for the Mini's - auto fuses and pb spade connectors to replace springs = brass doors for Mini's and Grand's to patina - some bf atty's that are missing parts that need to be found and need to be rebuilt, others that could be modded to bf.... but all of it is still just sitting here unused. IOW, all I've actually modded was to open up air holes in some of my atty's for my long lung hits (and that with just a Dremel and machinists vise that happened to be in my bungalow). I don't like to go to my storage garages... it make me sad that i can't use what's in them anymore (including my Corvette).

Believe it or not it's a 7ml bottle (remember when we all used 6's?)...I had to mill out some wiggle room for the short little fatty but thanks to Rob's maximum overkill structural wise you can mill 3+mm out of the back and still not break through...

I hear ya though, but it was never meant t be an "all day" vape...it's a pub mod.

Super cool!
