Bigger airhole on RM2?

[ebarrios]

So I've had my Reo Grand for a couple weeks now, and a RM2 for a week. I'm sooooo stoked and happy with my purchase.

Anyways, Im debating opening up the airhole on the RM2. It seems kind of a tight draw to me. What's your guys thoughts on boring it out? If so how much?

For reference if been trying out different coil builds as the one I like best so far is a dual-wrapped single coil 30ga, 10x wrap o a 1/16 drill bit.

Thanks!

I enlarged mine a bit. It's probably somewhere around 1.2mm. If there's one thing you take away from this reply, it's this: GO SLOW AND ENLARGE A TINY BIT AT A TIME! It's much easier to make it bigger than it is to make it smaller.

Since the RM2 cap is nickle plated brass, it's easy to do without power tools. I used a Dremel attachment similar to this:

I didn't use the Dremel, I just twisted the bit in the air hole with light pressure. Enlarge just a tiny bit, put the cap back on the RM2 and test to see if the hole size is good.
Again, GO SLOW AND ENLARGE A TINY BIT AT A TIME!

Make sure you at sure you really want it bigger, once it's bigger it's a lot harder to go back to smaller

I do 1/16th bit...just shaves the hole a little bit bigger. As stated GO SLOW....if you do to much your screwed.

Some great advice here

I drilled mine out to 1/16" about 30 minutes ago and so far I really like it.

I had a spare cap that I drilled out to 1/16 and at first I thought it was too airy but right now I really like it. How you place your coil can have a big effect also. That said, the standard size still suits me just fine.

Drilled mine out to 1/16" this morning. Much better. Except now it whistles a bit. Guess I need to de-burr the hole.

 

[ebarrios]

thanks for the feedback guys.

BTW, What is the stock size?

1/16" is all I roll now. Its Perfect for me, but took some getting used to initially.

Doesn't enlarging the airhole diminish the flavor at the same time that it provides more vapor?
That is why I'm hesitating to drill mine further (must be around 1.3mm ATM)

Yep - the 1/16 air hole is working out great here.

Not in my experience.

You crazy kids!!!! 1/16"!!!!! Yer gonna blow your faces off!!! (with air)


I love 1.4mm (1.3mm is ok . . . . . 1.58mm, 1/16" is loose and whistley, like a gassy nag)

 

[Decidion]

I drilled mine out to 1/16" too and it is just right for me, but I got a whistle as well, lol. I was thinking I have to deburr too

 

[Vapeaddikt]

reverse the 1/16th bit out then go in and out a few times.....damn that sounds bad.

Anyways it won't whistle any more and don't drag so hard like your hitting an analog lol.

It can. There is also a balance to it. I kept the the stock for a few days it was just a bit tight on the hit for my liking.

The 1/16th works and tastes great for me.

Upon receiving my new REO RM2 I hit it vs my 1/16th REO and yeah 1/16th is better. I drilled out my new one as well.

It's just that, there's a lot of sizes in between 0 and 1/16 . . .←(my, that's silly)

one of my RM2s doesn't whistle, but it wheezes like an old man on his deathbed. i'm sure it's the coil, but i don't want to change it because it reminds me of why i started vaping
