• Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers

    Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

The round 2 hellboy I received from Chowder came with a 510 dt adapter...I believe he sourced the second round from a different supplier..
Makes perfect sense but I could have sworn he asked who would be interested in one who participated in the 1st Hellboy run.:unsure:

So none has a good experience with the REM? :(

I wouldn't say my experience has been bad. My next build will likely yield better flavor. The one thing I do really like about the REMatty is that it's nearly impossible to oversquonk. I also like the aesthetics quite a bit. I'm not a fan of attys festooned with logos or graphics. I certainly don't regret buying it.

I'm having issues too. 3 hours building in the woods last night. Stripped a screw in the process because the positive screw wasn't holding one of the coils and I could wiggle it. Even now my connection isn't perfect but it's vaping. Flavors not the best and I fully attribute that to a subpar build. But I'm drinking juice...coils too high maybe? Never done top airflow builds before. So you guys are wrapping around the net screws eh? I'll probably start doing that. I can deal with the negs as is but don't enjoy it. They do work well though - the positive screw does not work well at all. Wish these were grubs...

If this thing had the build deck of the derringer it would instantly be my fave atty. Once I get it dialed in and I'm not drinking juice it will be my fave anyway. The afc is the first I've personally used that works perfectly and it's leak proof etc...and the Squonk action is the greatest thanks to Tom!

Back to the woods and back to the drawing board.

I'm glad I delayed my shipment of my REM to ride with my Bonsai. Not sure what the problem is with the negative posts. Are they aligned badly or what? Tight connections shouldn't be a problem as I have been using twisted wire coils, so that part should be OK. Just play with coil placement for good balance of TH and flavor as with most atties.
Mine should be heading my way soon, maybe get here by the end of the week. Looking forward to giving it a go. I'm also intrigued with the Haze, but I'm tapped out at the moment. Maybe I'll still get to score one later.

Wasn't there talk about a 510 DT Hellboy adapter? What's up with that? It becoming hard to keep up here without repeating the same questions over and over.

Would like to know as well. [emoji6]

I'm also curious about the negative post issues. Not sure what size screw is needed for the positive post but I've got all kinds to choose from around here if there's issue there. Can't wait to give a try at building it, mine is also riding shotgun with a Bonsai when it's ready.

I feel your pain PWheeler, I'm also shorts on funds for a mini Haze. Hopefully I'll have a chance at one later since it also looks like a great one.

Me three! :D

I just don't care for the SS tip in the Round #1 Hellboy, or really SS drip tips in general. They tend to get hot pretty quick with my low ohm builds, so it slows down my vaping. I no like slowing down my vaping, lol.

Digging the REM, but I'll echo the build concerns. Replacing the positive screw with a grub would solve the lose connection/short screw issue. The negative connections were kind of a pita, I found cutting the leg short and sliding it in from the side worked best for me.

My trusty dual 26ga 2.4mm diameter 6 wrap make a ton of vapor, but the flavor is lacking a little compared to the Derringer for now. I didn't have much time to build it this morning so I'll have to play with coil positioning tonight.

We'll see how it does in the "flipping around in my lunch box" leak test at work today.

I put a bend in the negative wire where it would go into the slot. No problem. Positive screw does seem slightly short but like stated before an extra wire worked. Longer screw or grub fixes that I think. Still liking the vape though.

Its all put together now but where the bend is sticks into the slot. Push the end of the wire while tightening. Dont pull across as usual.

So i emailed the REM Creations support team about the posts issues and this is what they had to say:

"There is a trick to get the wires into the negative posts, you need to make an "L" shape or right angle in the wire so it grabs so you can screw them into place. Once you learn how to do this, the atty is pretty amazing.

We will be releasing a tutorial video soon. "

I will be trying this when I get home but it still doesn't help the center post not grabbing my 26g, hopefully I have some screws that fit!

I'm told they will have more, there seems to be some sort of issue with the machine shop. I would bet when they do,come back in stock they will be more expensive. I'm thinking the Machine shop bid the caps really low thinking they would be a flop and they would only have to make a few so they could make their money on the atty itself. $5 seems awfully cheap for the amount of work that goes into the slam cap. I wouldn't be surprised if the price tripled, and if so 90% of the people that were going to buy it, still will. Welcome to ecigs......
I went back to try to order one. Up to $8 now, but seems out of stock. I can place one in my cart, but it won't let me check out.

Came across this RDA, any thoughts... Airflow concept is interesting
Looks like the derringer has fornicated with the Omertà. Somebody needs to stop that guy..... His demon spawn keeps showing up everywhere... Ohhhh the child support.....
