Dual air holes for a single coil RM2

[Filthy-Beast]

Once I got my Cyclone with Airflow Control I discovered I really like more air. The RM2, even with the hole drilled to 1/16, had become way to restrictive. I drilled it to 5/64 and the air flow was better. With the 5/64 hole the wife and dogs where bothered by a whistle I cannot hear and it also has a tendency to dribble juice from such a large hole.

So I decided to give two smaller holes a try. They are each drilled to 3/64 and position so they are at the ends of my coil. No more whistle or big dribble issue and I netted a little more air flow than the 5/64 hole. I like this setup a lot and will be getting a few spare tops to fix my other RM2s.

I like big air with my sub ohm builds. This looks like something I'll have to try. Vamping being different than smoking was, I've become accustomed to doing lung hits. The no dribble trouble sounds like a pretty cool benefit as we'll.

Thanks for the tip FB!

I started with 1/16 then moved to 5/64...liking it a more and I might go bigger...no leaking issues yet!

On a side bar has anyone made the air hole higher than the placement of the stock air hole? I'm not much of a TH kinda guy this thread made me think a bigger air hole higher up might give even less TH.

Where are you getting spare caps? Empire mods for the rm2 precursor, or from Rob?

I've got two rm2s, but I can't interchange the caps--the same post wasn't removed for the squonk hole on both, so the caps only line up right on their bases. I could use an oring spacer, but I'm not thrilled with the idea. If I can get some cheap caps, I'd play around more with airhole sizing.

You can get the cap either from Rob or With the Triangle atty. I'd check that they were both put back together correctly. Look at this thread, there are two threaded holes in the base of the RM2, it looks like the ceramic cup and negative post could be shifted by threading into the other hole.

I have not, but a new cap will run you 7 - 10 bucks and being plated brass is pretty easy to drill. Might be worth the experiment.

After reading that, I'm not quite sure how to rearrange the airhole. Would I be able to just remove the one post and re thread it into the other hole, or do I need to do a complete rebuild?

interesting

 

[Filthy-Beast]

When you remove the negative post the ceramic cup can spin in the base, so you could slight spin the base and see if the post will line up with the other threaded hole in the base. This is the easiest option.

When I look at the photos in that linked thread you'll notice that the ceramic cup is cut on the bottom to allow juice to flow to the open hole. If you pull the center pin out from the 510 connector then you can pull the ceramic cup and check it's bottom to see which hole is cut for juice flow. You could also use a diamond bit in a dremel to cut a channel for the other hole and move the post over.

Wrong Thread.

I'll play around with holes on Monday when I have some time. I'm thinking three holes like the tobh rda has.

Sounds interesting, please post the results.

Yay playing with holes.

I tried to drill a second hole myself this week, but it turns out it's not nearly as easy as making an existing hole bigger. In fact, I dare say without a drill press, it's not happening Bit slides every time I get 'er going.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

You need to use a pointy punch or nail first, to make a small dimple the bit will stay in. Place the punch or nail point where you want the hole, lightly tap with hammer. Repeat until you get a nice little crater. I like multiple smaller hits instead of trying to do it with one big swing.

Try a center punch tool.

Yeap, that is what I use. It is spring loaded, so as you press down it builds energy and then releases it with a tap. Makes it easier than trying to hold the punch and tapping with a hammer. However on a rounded surface tapping with a hammer can be easier than applying pressure and not having it slip.

Thanks guys. Yeah I tried a nail and hammer and that slid as well - ended up with a nice scratch on the atty hood. Not a problem as I am experimenting with a cheapie. But that center punch tool looks like it may do the trick. Either that or fully tool my garage

 

[Filthy-Beast]

You can always adopt the rule a lot of guys live by. New project means I need to get a new tool

 

[Vwls]

That rule goes for girls too my friend

Well, girls who like to tinker.
