so is it 3mm that needs shaving? i'm having someone do if for me and spec would be needed. thanks
if you're using an o ring, which of course you must to keep it from leaking as you feed then you have to really tighten it down a lot to compress it enough to allow contact. try testing it first with no o ring, then maybe try to use a skinnier o ring and tighten it down tighter, I had to tighten mine with a small screwdriver wedged between the 2 posts to really tighten it enough and then get it oriented the way I wanted it. I think the threaded portion as a whole is slightly less length than something like the rm2. another reason why I'm not planning on swapping atties around so much anymore, pretty much just staying with the cyclone, it really is good enough that that's not even a drawback though to me
so turbocad6, i saw on another thread you use an o ring on the threads of the Cyclone too.. to get air control placement. cool beans
where can i buy another Cyclone… B/F w/ cyclops (AFC)?
did a search last night and man are they hard to find…. indyvapors is out of stock on the AFC … to make a Cyclops.
Pink Mule had Cyclone b/f but no AFC, and wow i couldn't even find shipping to USA… they are in Malaysia…

I purchased my Cyclone from OKC Vapes, not sure if they have the AFC.
E-cigs.co.uk, got the cyclone, got the cyclops, & got the AFC all in stock

Yes. I just double checked and it's 3mm...almost flush with the 510 connection.
i looked thanks…
kind of confused… they sell the AFC cap that has 2 air holes; and it shows an inner cap too; or is that the original cap that the reg. b/f Cyclone comes with? couldn't be i guess because that only has one air hole….?
I figure i can just get that "new" AFC cap for my Cyclone b/f with regular cap?
btw; i looked a Myvape USA which carries it too… and they have Divo by VA, sitting on a Reo Grand… no info whatsoever. I tried googling and nothing about what it is or how it works! duh.
both places are overseas and about $20 to ship.
I think the regular cyclone without afc comes with one air hole.
I think the only way to get a bottom feed one from the factory is to buy the basic atty and then the add on afc cap separately , and then the stock cap will get thrown in a drawer somewhere and it's more expensive that way. they do however sell an AFC only setup that only comes with the afc cap and no base stock cap at all and it's around $75 complete, don't know about shipping or availability though, but this combo setup is only available as a top feed so you will need to drill out your center post to use this setup. drilling the center post isn't that hard to do and it's def best bang for the buck, it's like 25% cheaper that way

yeah i saw a bunch of different setups and one was just the afc top cap for like 28 pounds (uk)…. i'll email them.
does your afc top cap slide over an inner cap with holes (2) to adjust the draw?

it's all one piece, the outer cap is what sits stationary when installed and then the top ring is connected to the inner sleeve when you turn it the inner sleeve turns to adjust. it doesn't separate, it's just an inner and outer sleeve as one assembly. of course I'm sure it can be separated somehow, but is one piece in normal use
i ordered the AFC alone… UK company Feeder posted… (thanks feeder; you are in UK, i paid like $15 for shipping but they emailed back right away; that works for me)
i told them, imo, with the new sub ohms kit coming out for Reo, VA should have a b/f afc kit.!
btw Rob is milling my drip well down for me… $10 thanks Rob!
dual coils are on the horizon for my Reo Grand vaping!

The reo is really kickass with the cyclone with dual coils. Duals probably use twice the juice but with the reo delivery is never a problem. At this point I don't ever see wanting to go back to a single coil atty on my reo.
Im pretty sure the afc can be machined to fit a stock grand. Rob should do these like the rm2s, add 25 for machining, id by a cyclone for 99 if it bolted right up to a stock reo, the duals really shine on the reo and the adjustable airflow is unbelievably awesome. The cyclone and the reo really compliment each other and paired this is an awesome vaping machine

I want to try a Cyclone with the AFC but will not mill my Reo. so it's a no go. If someone was to mill the AFC to fit a Reo I would be all over that.
When I get another reo im going to try this. Im pretty sure it would work great
I never really chased clouds that we see drippers doing with widened air holes and duals…. for me the only reason for drippers is to try new flavors. So in my mind Cyclone = Reo b/f vaping.
but i did get a Prometheus genesis to try duals on…. I do the skinny wire rope with nextel sleeve under the coil… 2x .6 ohms = .3+ Ohms net and wow… the Prom has dual air holes and adjustable… never thought i could get clouds like that from a genesis.
the point is, for me, the vapor was not harsh… incredible; and sometimes when you just really want to effortlessly super charge, there it is. takes a lot of juice and of course * you need to meter your coil, and use high amp batts ( i have MNKE, Orbtronic 2900HD).. the AW IMRs are ok with short (5 sec or less) firing.
can't wait to try it on a small chamber micro dual / cotton or hemp fiber Cyclops.
Cyclones aren't the easiest to get ahold of…. and btw, the regular b/f Cyclone is my favorite up to now… I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to drill another air hole in the reg. cap.
Ditto. While I certainly enjoy my other Reos with RM2s the Cyclone with AFC on my tumbled raw getting 90% of my attention. Dual coils at .6 ohm with 28 awg is pure heaven right now...sigh.
I don't really chase clouds I more chase a great consistent vape. For me a great vape is something that always works and always gives a very satisfying vape and is consistent. When I'm out I don't want to fiddle with anything I just want a good hit whenever I want a good hit. Personally I believe the atty chamber size is very important when it comes to best taste and vape quality, as important as airflow and wicking. I think thats why the rm2 tastes so good with the right coil placement, tiny chamber.same reason stuff like the kayfuns taste so good, it's not just about airflow, velocity, flow and turbulence are equally important, its similar to an intake plenum on an engine, in the end were looking for the perfect mixture and blending of incoming air with the vapor. The cyclone chamber to me is too large to get best taste from a single coil but its almost perfect when it comes to duals, and the adjustable airflow is icing on the cake. Im sure drilling the non afc cap for duals is straight forward enough though and might not be a bad option, but I gotta say that different juices need fine tuning of the vape machine to dial in it's best flavor.
Example, I have a peach flavor from virgin that I really dont like, I dont taste peach anywhere near as much as I taste lemon, just sour and offensive to my tastebuds, but now with the cyclone I learn that this juice becomes a whole different animal once I turn the wattage way down and choke the airflow down to a relatively tight draw, it's just like oh, theres the peach but then with something heavy and rich flavored like gvc if I try to run it with that tight of a draw it doesn't taste well t all, and with the wattage cranked up and the airflow opened a bit then I get t that juices sweet spot. unless you only vape one juice then the adjustable airflow is a great tool to finetune your vape
