Will do. Trying to remember if the helios is ss or brass. I LOVE my helios. one of my favorite all around vapes, though it's not gotten much love since I got bottom feeders.

Your scenario is exactly why I started this, I went through it too..

I'll be sending the helios over the brass monkey if the helios LOOKS to be ss (despite the fact I can't make it not wide open air flow since I tried slightly widening the holes and got the ring stuck). I won't really know for sure if it's chromed brass, though I could try to scratch it.

Hey Chowder, loving my Atomic. So much so, I was wondering if you had any left? Also, my Plume Veil clone is supposed to be here today. I will send it to you tomorrow probably. I would think you will have it Monday or Tuesday.

I do have an Atomic left, I need to order more however. You know the drill... Lol.

Dibs on a AFC Cyclone and any other under 22mm diameter atty short in height.

That would cover the Atomic... 19mm short and bulletproof. image.jpg
Atomic on the grand, Reactor on the mini.
I have both ready to go.

Atomic is fantastic. My only issue with it is the screws that came with it. They often coming way too closer for comfort (at least in the RM4 version. I've ordered hex screws to fix this issue. Aside from that, great flavor and superb vapor production.

That's a sweet setup. It's like you put a shrink ray on the grand that was set to reduce size to 2/3 the original.

I wish I could make an afc ring that would snap on the Reactor. If I didn't hate modding Reactors so much I would make that my goal.. The center pin in the reactor is concrete hard and very narrow. I'm a glutton for punishment though. I will look around.

If you ever do, I'd definitely buy one!

I got mine from Chowderhead and he was kind enough to put in Allen wrench screws. But before I knew that, I ordered some Allen wrench screws that supposedly fit it. I just got them today and will have to make sure they fit. So if they fit, I will send you some. I think I got like 20 of them. Just PM me your address and I will drop some in an envelope and send them to you.

Much appreciated, but I actually just got 6 today. If they do fit, please let me know where you ordered/size as I like to have spares. Thank you for the offer!

Veritas clone was a bust. Melted the insulator on my first build. Stillare clone is a decent 3 post dripper. Perfectly good vape, but the cap is so loose it'll come off if I look at it sideways. Will maybe try to find some larger o rings or maybe try the floss trick, but honestly there are other contenders attys I'm more curious about. Won't be sending either of these in just yet. If someone finds a good plumeveil clone I would be all over it.

I include round point grub screws with mine as well as the stock Phillips screws. I prefer Allen with the right Hudy driver to the coil eating stock screws.

Yeah. I ordered replacements from Rob. They work MUCH better. I plan on buying a bunch of replacements as back up.

Those Hudy drivers are pricey! If need one for 2mm and 1 for 2.5 mm then, correct. Those little allen wrenches I feel like I'm going to snap and my sturdy allen wrench set doesn't go that small.
