Flavor issue, Reo Grand, RM2

[Jamey Walker]

First of all let me say this is NOT a Reo bash. I simply cannot get my Grand to taste like my Kayfuns. I only vape NT juice, 1.4 ohm coil, cotton wick, have washed several times as instructed. Any advice is appreciated.....

Can you post a pic of your coil and wick setup

 

[pwheeler]

It could be a simple matter of coil placement, or the wicking, too much, too little, and so on. I'm at work, but if you could post pics of your setup, there's a bunch probably here who can steer you in the right direction and hopefully bring your flavor up to par.

Is the air hole the stock size?

1/16" or 5/64" hole works well with them.

the flavor from my RM2 is much, much better than my Kayfun. Pics will help

I have to agree with AmandaD. I switched from a Provari and Kayfun to a Reo and RM2. Night and day diffrence, I'm all about the RM2 now. Please post pics, you'll get the help you need.

I will post pics after work, recently seen a thread here about coil placement. Enlarged air hole to 1\16 and placed coil slightly up from hole. Wick not too big and just touching deck.

I like to make sure that the coil is right above the air hole. I know you mentioned yours is.

Amount of cotton has never bothered the flavor and neither has air flow.

Once you post the pics, we'll figure it out.

I know some people like having the coil just above the airflow hole. If I do that I lose flavor - I seem to get more flavor with the coil a little lower, pretty much in line with the airhole.

I love the Kayfun and still have 2 of them but they don't hold a stick to the RM2 or Cyclone. You just don't have it set up right. As soon as Russ (SuperX) sees this thread he will be all over it with pics. Hang in there!!!

Same with me. I place the coil just at the air hole and I get more flavor.

THIS...is a good thing.

I use to use the same setup. Took me fidgeting with the coil wrapping, cotton wicking amount and placement of the coil before I experienced vaping bliss. All of this is going to be your personal preferences however...one thing holds true of any dripper...your eliq. After a few days trying to figure it what I was doing wrong I narrowed it down to some new Nicoticket juice I had just ordered in 12mg nic strength. I was yummy in my kayfun...horrible in my RM2. The nic was too strong.

What strength nic is your juice? Maybe try a lower nic and see if that helps

 

[Jamey Walker]

Ok here is my setup

 

[Jamey Walker]

I started with 12, then 6, now at 0 on the nicotine!

I would move coil out closer to the edge near the air hole and lower the coil 1/2 the distance to the deck. Be sure the air hole and coil are lined up.

All of your issues will be solved as soon as you get the coil as close to the edge of the RM2 as possible.

I had the same flavor issues at first and that solved it for me.

 

[Jamey Walker]

Ok, i will do that and report back!
