I don't currently have the budget for a brass RM2, but I would like to make the Woodvils look nice. I can tell the well isn't shiny brass FT cr@p, but does anyone have a brass drip tip that somewhat matches? I'm not crazy about the straight tube ones, I like mings and knobby sort of tips.

This one was my fave till I got a polished Caravela brass:

Weirdly enough, that is a tip that hails from FT. :blink:

Thanks for the link, but I meant a brass tip to use on an atty. I got an RM2 awhile ago, but haven't put it together yet. I got a silver one not knowing I would get caught up in Woodvil Fever. ;)

Ocelot you can always remove the finish from the RM2 you have if you prefer the brass. A drill, 510to510 connector, and sand paper and your in business.

Sent from the backwoods of Maine.

Here is a brass drip tip I got from Driptip Designz. It matches the brass on the RM2 perfectly. The RM2 is one that I stripped to brass with a with a progression from course to fine sandpaper. Won't know how it matches the Woodvil catch cup until later this week.

I guess I'm going to have to wait until I see it in person too.

Very nice! Thank you for the links! I'm relieved that they look nice with the silver too. :)

ETA: Uh oh! I just looked at the RM2 on the ReosMod site. I got one before I knew I was getting the Woodvil. It says to put a note when ordering if you plan to use it on a wood mod. Will there be a problem?

I don't think so - I believe that Rob made sure that the RM2's would work just fine on this run of Woodvils. It's probably more applicable for the older Woodvils. At least that's how I understand it. I didn't specify when I ordered my brass ones.

You are correct. There is a language difference going on here that I was not aware of. In Australia, the "latest" run is the current run. For example, the "latest" model Ford car you can buy here is the current model Ford car. Anything that came out before the latest (current) model was a previous model or earlier model. I'll try to remember that for next time but no promises :)
