Woot! Divo and Reactor arrived. Big thanks CH, and fantastic work, as previously.

I've only coiled and mounted the Divo, yet. Ohms came out slightly higher than what I'm used to getting with my 8 wraps of 28ga, so I'll have to tinker a bit. I finally more or less mastered getting 2mm RxW wick threaded into the coil, though, and flavor and production are awesome. Squonking and recovery are perfect, of course.

Draw is slightly tight for me (same as on the Cyclone AFC when I tried single coil with the non-AFC-sized airhole.) I'm a little confused by the fact, since I think it's the same 1mm that the RM2 uses, and it seems more open on that atty. I'm pretty sure I don't want to go all the way up to 1/16", though. Any suggestion on a ssize, Chowder?

I want to give the Reactor a try in single coil with stock hole, too, but I'll probably be drilling out that dimple for duals, as well.

Thanks again, sir. You're like the BF Leonardo da Vinci

I love ya Chowder but my order got mixed up lol! I got someone's SS Odin and someone got my black one. If anyone who got a black but ordered a SS wants to do a trade please pm me!

I will work it out... Does the box have a silver dot sticker? on it or a black one? Trying to see where I screwed up. If nothing else I will send you my black cap. Let's see if there was a mix up on another one today though.

This batch of Reactors has both holes drilled from the factory albeit super tiny, I have never seen a drill bit as small as that. Looks like #80 or smaller.

As to the Divo: airflow is purely subjective and varies widely. I find #53 (1.46mm) an acceptable balance but that's just me.

The dot on my box is actually white. I have no problem waiting to see if anyone else chimes in about a mix up with theirs.

****** The Hobo is a go******** I have ten (10) authentic Hobo V2s on the way they should be here by Friday but I'm going to take it slow on these so they will be ready next Friday (9/16) at the earliest. I have new drilling equipment on the way as well to improve the quality of my product, trying to alieviate off center holes and broken bits, hopefully I can experiment with the new set-up over this weekend and be well prepared for next weekend.



I'm only doing a short run on this one. The price will be $100 and will come with a 15ml bottle of Cuttwood Unicorn Milk in either 6mg or 12mg. If you want to vape like a Boss here's your chance. I will order colored top caps and drip tips as needed At $20 each.

1. Loopy1224, add stainless steel drip tip

2. X-Puppy, 12mg, add copper hat and drip tip

3. Caveat 12mg add black top hat, black drip tip

4.

5. YePsTeR, 12mg, add black top hat and SS drip tip

6. Beckdg, 6mg, add black top hat and drip tip ***please include original unmodified copper screw in my package***

7. Sedge, 6mg, black hat & tip

8. VeeHa 6mg, Black hat & Tip

9.

10.

Done...

I actually ordered 12 but I'm keeping 2. These things are sick!

I went back and looked at my shipping list and I had you down for a SS Odin, Divo, and a Plumeveil. I went back and read your pm from 10/2 and you are correct. Send it back and I will send you a black with an I'm sorry gift.

Thanks again Chowder. Yikes, I didn't realize the Reactor's was that tiny when I first looked at it. Only one is drilled through on mine, though.

I guess I'll order a range of bits and drill up until I hit the sweet spot.

Most m2.5 grubs use the same .090 wrench. Why the issue? Authentic odin uses SAE hardware.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe this is in reference to this post...

Oh no! Not sure I want one if it's not metric. Please let me know when you get them in.

I have standardized on a 1.5mm hex driver for all my atty post screws. For a 2mm thread I use cap heads, 2.5mm gets button heads and 3mm gets grub screws.

One driver for all recoiling makes life a lot easier behind the wheel of a big rig when pressed for time and storage space constantly.

If it's that big of a deal to you I will re-Tap them to the closest metric size just make a note I have taps for m2, m2.5, m3, and m4 suffice to say I have you covered. I also have grubs in those sizes as well. I might do the same on mine actually
