Does anyone have trouble with their Orings being too big on the Reactor atty? I cant even get the top off or back on without pliers. Thought they would break in but no go... :)

I had to remove the bottom o-ring on mine for it to be removed easier. To me it was the same as the Cyclone. Way too tight of a top cap. I tried lubing it up and still made no difference.

Got the CLT and PlumeVeil today.

The CLT is gorgeous!! Build quality perfect. Wrapping coils for it after I get done complaining about the PlumeVeil.

My concern with the PV was the center pin/post sticking out of the 510 threads to much and it does. Because of this there is a really big gap between the atty and the REO.

Tom, any ideas??

Is that PlumeVeil one you got from Tom? All other pics I have seen of his seem to be sitting flush...

Try removing the top o ring and leaving the bottom? I had to do that on my stock bf cyclone. The top o ring would constantly get caught.

That PlumeVeil came from Tom. The orange REO in the pic is brand spanking new. I have 2 other LP's and the PV sits almost flush on them??? Maybe Rob put a super-dooper center post in the new one. I'm going to try the center post build on the PV and give her a rip. I really like the look of the PV and Tom's bf handy work is amazing. A bit apprehensive about juice leakage out of the negative post airflow but won't know untill I quit typing and start wrapping!!

Exactly how did you do that, if you don't mind me asking??

Thanx!!

Sandpaper on a flat surface hold the pv as straight as possible and sand it down back and forth

Before sanding make sure pv pin is screwede in all the way also check your reo s 510 pin see if its screwed in all the way

Good luck

I am loving this CLT, just got it in the mail today. I gave it a quick wash down and put 2 parallel 28 gauge coils in it at 0.3 ohms. The airflow wide open is almost too open, but I'm coming from an rm2 and cyclone atomizers.

Lol too open? Hence the AFC :p

But yeah. The airflow is humongous which is perfect for my mega lung inhales after a giant meal with a ton of meat.

But man..... I really reaaaaally like the CLT. I also get to use more cotton in the deck since it's 22mm, so now I can usually go 3 to 4 drags without squonking.

Yea, I closed each one about halfway and its still a pretty open draw for me. I am loving this thing so far! I just need to snug up the top cap orings a touch but other than that it is awesome.
