For the Atomic and the Cyclone you would need .o50" and .035". I also use the .050 as my coil mandrel. Yes they are pricey but I will pay big $$$ to eliminate frustration.

I was aware of the Atomic screw problems almost from the beginning and when I received it I took them and chucked them up in a drill and used a small flat file to grind the heads down. Then I held the screw in my fingertips and flattened the end of the threads on the same file. I eliminated both problems from the start and it took less that 5 minutes... I hate socket set screws!!!
Updating my DIBS - for one Cyclone from the next batch, with airhole drilled to 2 mm please.
What do I do XifX when I lose the teensy allen wrench?
I got 25 replacement screws already, so I don't want to replace with a different type, just want a backup for the silly little allen...
What size is it, and are they available somewhere?

Yo Chowder. not sure if you saw my post earlier or if you've mailed out my cyclone already. But it'll be sweet if you could help me drill out the stock cap to 2mm air holes. Thanks!
Per the previous post, you can order a .050" hex screw. I'm about to buy one for that and a .035" hex screw for the cyclone. Try to be sure it's not a ball point. Amazon sells them for $7 a pop.
Or you can go the chowder route and spend $100+ for a complete set of Hudy hex drivers.

The cyclones that were on hold shipped yesterday and are scheduled to be in you mailbox Monday.
The Hudys are available one at a time. Usually around $18 and you only need 2. Three if you count the Zenith.
Check Amainhobbies. In my days of R/C I learned not to trust cheap tools. Wiha is another more affordable option but of high quality. Don't buy Chinese tool and hope for longevity.

What size is for a zenith? I'll be getting one of those soon. Wiha is sold for 7 or 8 a pop on amazon. I did an early/late am search around 4 am and didn't see anything but a full set in my half asleep stupor.

Received my Reactor V2 today and all I can say is WOW!!! This thing will give the Cyclone and the Aromic a run for their money... Set it up w/ dual 27g 1/16" micro's @ .48Ω and it is buzzing... Power packed little dude. It is drip tip challenged though. I got one of my cloud chasers to fit it but its gonna take an act of god to get it off there... Thanks Chowderhead....

Looks good Muzichead. Did you drill out the air hole?
Reactor freshly received. Loaded with gplat, but not sure if I like it. Im going to re load with kanthal and I'm sure it will be kicking.

Another reactor arrival...
This will relegate my modded (authentic) Atomic to the parts bin to collect dust.
It squonks and drains like a dream. The Atomic's smallest holes were too airy for a mouth- lung hit. After enlarging the Reactor's air holes a bit with a needle file, it's perfect. It's a breeze to build on. It provides more flavor and just as much vapor.
Bang-up job Chowderhead!

Alright guys on to new bussiness: I spent a little time in the shop today, modded a few sent in atties and converted three Magma clones. These are easily the nicest clones I have seen to date. All stainless, machined perfectly, rock solid. I think this may become my next Atomic. Until the mother load arrives I have these three for sale. I have 1 brushed ss blem and 2 black perfect Magma's.
Black Magma b/f $48 (2 available)
SS Magma b/f blem $30 (sold)
Brass Quasar clone b/f $40 (1 available)
Authentic Madz Modz Reactor v2 bf $50.80 (4 available)
EHPro Atomic b/f on the way
Vicious Ant (2013 cupped deck) Cyclone b/f on the way
Any suggestions for different atties? I'm all ears.
I am on the lookout for all SS Zenith clones.
Plumeveil Demo on the way.

I will take one of the reactors. Can you drill out the air hole to the smallest size of the Atomic? Hard to tell how big the air hole is in the pics. I will be using it only for single coils, so no need to do both sides. How much is it? I will send you the money and you can ship it with my other stuff.
DIBS SS magma blem please!
(And my dibs for cyclone still applies when they come in)
Thanks!
