Best for new reo owner?

[RattlerX]

here is the side shot of the cotton

I put the same atty on my wood mod...let me duplicate and see what we have. I do know that the draw is a bit tight compared to the RM2 or Cyclone.

 

[keepsmiling]

K..does that look right? I did push it around a little. I think I might like that there appears to be a further distance between the posts in the rm2 and the top hole, vs this one. Those posts are high!

Lower the coil just a bit...half the distance to the deck. Make sure your cotton is not burnt under the coil itself. Take some tweezers and pul it out a bit on one side and see if it is black and burnt.

When looking at this pic position the air hole on the top cap between the left edge of the coil and the center of the coil. That is the part that is closet to the air hole.

If you have a flashlight shine it into the air hole and look into the top cap with DT removed and you will see light on the coil. You should be able to rotate the top cap and get into the right position.

When you squonk look down from the top and make sure your coil and wick are getting saturated. If you had some nic base I would suggest you dilute your juice with unflavored. less = more with the juice same as the cotton.

You will still get better flavor from the RM2.

You could push the coil down a hair too. Just take your thumb and gently push it so it's a LITTLE BIT closer to the deck.

OK will do! Have you ever had THIS much trouble with someone? Haha..
grumbles..need a squonking buddy..or skype..

I am getting a solid little vape off this atty. The flavor is defiantly better on the RM2 but this is not bad


I know different stroke for different folks but for me the absolute game changer was diluting my juice. My vape became consistent, I could get the exact flavor I wanted every day all day long without my taste buds wigging out on me.

Too much flavor will have an opposing effect. You will get flashes of good taste but then it will go away.

Shoot this is nothing...not even 24 hours yet.

I spent every evening for a week with my son and his wife on FaceTime. They live in Hawaii and I was trying to teach him about cartos and carto tanks....that was a mess.

 

[keepsmiling]

LOL!! It's getting better. I am starting to lose my fear and relax. I admit, not being familiar made me a bit nervous about it.
I will worry about flavor later..

 

[RattlerX]

I know that post are close to the top of the atty but as long as they are tight it will not touch and you will be fine. They are thumb screws and I tightened them pretty good so I do not expect they will come loose on you.

It will only get easier from here on out...

 

[keepsmiling]

Good news. It is getting better! Pushing the coil down seemed to help. I also pushed the air hole of the cap a tad over, gurgling has stopped.
Still a muted flavor, but more vapor. Probably my juice.
What are some favorites?{besides the unflavored that some of you do}
So..I cannot get the cap off the RM2 to save my soul. When you say it twists off, does it have lefty threads, or will it come off either direction? ie: there are no threads and it's just pushed down tight
I tried the mousepad idea, it didn't help. If I wet it, how will I hold it? I assume the cap ends right where there is a difference, an indentation towards the bottom?
I tried putting it on top of the omnitester, and unscrewing it to the left, but then it just unscrews off the tester.. I swear if you did not know there was a cap, you would think it was a solid piece. But they had to get in there somehow to fix those posts..unless there are tiny elf reonauts lol

Should have named this thread "trials and confessions of a noob reo owner"

What are some favorites?{besides the unflavored that some of you do} Any juice will work you just need to mix unflavored with it to dilute but you should try the RM2 first.

So..I cannot get the cap off the RM2 to save my soul. When you say it twists off, does it have lefty threads, or will it come off either direction? ie: there are no threads and it's just pushed down tight It unscrews counter clockwise you just need to be able to hold the bottom where the threads are tight.

I tried the mousepad idea, it didn't help. If I wet it, how will I hold it? I assume the cap ends right where there is a difference, an indentation towards the bottom? I think you have located where it separates. Try putting the 510 threads into the mousepad and pushing into it so it gets a grip on the bottom and give the top a guck twist counterclockwise

I tried putting it on top of the omnitester, and unscrewing it to the left, but then it just unscrews off the tester.. I swear if you did not know there was a cap, you would think it was a solid piece. But they had to get in there somehow to fix those posts..lol

I don't recommend pliers but if all else fails wrap the 510 connection with rubber bands, tape, or something to protect the threads and then turn the top cap.

I am afraid if I grip the threads on the RM2 with anything I will ruin them. I tried just then with pliers on the bottom edge{not the threads} and it's just scratching the brass up. I tried with a rag, it just slips off.

 

[supertrunker]

Run the topcap under a hot tap (faucet) for a minute and try again.

[keepsmiling]

WOW finally! My goodness..I feel like such a dumb...

 

[keepsmiling]

And now my pretty new rm2 is scratched..

 

[supertrunker]

Were you going to enter it in a show or use it? I have one of the most abused RM2's you have ever seen - it is scratched - it's been blowtorched - it's been dropped - it's had a bigger hole drilled in it.

Still works fine! Best atty ever modded!

[keepsmiling]

Haha..well I guess it would eventually. But yeah..I might enter a contest and WIN...
this one contest I entered years ago......never mind...
Ok so now for my first attempt at attaching a new coil{which rattlerX was so kind to include a few}
