Thanks for the video Russ. A lot of folks don't really see all the production (watching; editing; rendering; uploading) that goes behind making videos. I'm very surprised Youtube allows a video this long. I thought they were 20min only. Oh well, guess they changed the limit - which is a good. Don't have to watch a clock when making them.

Appreciate you giving great efforts to answer everyone's questions.

Oh, is that a Dell 1745 laptop? I think I have one just like it.

Another wicked vid, supe. Happy to hear your missus is okay, and I hear you about what it's like when the better half is away. My wife usually comes back to me acting like Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now and the cats having gone feral.

Nice shout of for Molson's - between your love of Canadian beer and hockey, you'd make a beauty Canuck, eh.

Thanks, Russ, for another entertaining (but long) video.

From the video playing in the background, I have to assume you have seen the dated (1971) On Any Sunday movie. As a motorcycle enthusiast, My first MX was a Hodaka Super Rat. This was followed by Penton, Husky and even a Bultaco. The Japanese bikes were just coming around to creating competitive bikes in the early seventies. When I got to old for the rigors of MX, I graduated to the trials bikes. I still ride after forty-nine years but the body can not take the stress of competition or the abuse of hard off road riding.

So I left the comment on the video and I mentioned I would try the sunglass case idea. Finally finished my Humanities Arts and College Algebra homework so I got around to trying it. Fits great, but I had to use a couple sheets of paper towel because it'd just bang around a lot as my case is a big larger than yours was. Fits snug now.

Just watched the video, awesome man. I'm gonna plan to pick up an Odin and router tip to give it a whirl. Also, just wanted to let you know, maybe you figured it out already but the atomizer deck with the gold posts, you were saying it's the rm5. That's the deck for the rm6 actually and the other deck that has the Allens with the slots instead of holes to slip ribbon wire through is the deck of the rm5.

Cool, I think I have one of those hard cases from an old pair of Oakleys. I am going to dig it out and see if a Reo will fit in it.
I wanted to thank you again SupX. I have not finished watching this video yet, but I will. But last night I did watch a few of your Odin videos.
Didn't we have an Odin thread? I cannot find it.
Anyway, after watching I finally got the nerve up to build my Odin for the first time. I managed dual coils successfully for the first time! It was so easy on the Odin! It's vaping like a champ at 0.7 ohms. I love it!
So thanks for all that you give back to this community, and vapers everywhere. You have helped more than you know with your easy demeanor about all of this. Some of which still can make me a bit nervous when it's new to me. You gave me confidence!
Hope you and all the Reonauts have a great Sunday!

Well done as always Russ. I think you're spot on with the opinion about safety for our kids and things not going so far as to encourage any non-smokers (kids) to take up vaping as a "trying to be cool" kinda gig. The only thing cool about vaping is that it provides a way for us long-term smokers (and dippers) to get off tobacco and greatly reduce risk.

The other thing I want to mention is the atomizer that I haven't seen you include in your comparisons - the RM3. Now I know that you're an unflavored guru and all, and the bigger atomizers throw down what you're after, but for those of us that do use flavored juice, the RM3 deserves a strong recommendation. While it may not be as sexy as some of the others, it is a vapor/flavor bomb in a small package. It doesn't have AFC but once the air holes are opened to an individual's sweet spot (drilled both to 1/16 here), it really is a great topper that digs out that sweet high end flavor that I can't find on larger chambered atomizers. Maybe Rob can shoot you one to demonstrate so others are aware of what is has to offer.

Great job Sup!

Great video Russ, informative and funny as hell. You always brighten up our day bud, thank you

BTW my wife also had one of those cysts and we too crapped ourselves and went to a specialist who after the ultrasound told us that it's nothing. He said these cysts are present (they come and go) in 98% of women who most of the time don't even know they have them.

Bruce, yes I have seen it and there's a new one either out already or coming out. I had a friend growing up - his dad's name was Bruce too - and that Bruce had several of those (now vintage) mx bikes that you mention. I remember looking at his current bike in awe. I used to draw them too (my friend and I drew bikes and cars).

It was the "wombat" on the air box I think that I remember most other than the ride my friend gave me on his Hodaka 125 up the driveway. He used to ride on the weekends with his dad right outta the garage thru the dirt roads and trails of Stephentown, NY.

His Bruce was fuzzy too but then again it was the 70's and beards were as cool then as they are now.

Rob, I believe an RM3 is VERY similar to a cyclone except the top cap. That said, it is a great vaping, easy to build atty. I've never had one though but have had 3 or 4 cyclones and 2 hornets all of which internally look exactly like the RM3 :)

Thank you for the props my man.

Ok I have some questions for the answer man.:) So lets talk coils.....

1) Have you every tried the stove top coil and if so what do you think? (a coil without a wick sounds intriguing)

2) I read threads about a lot of different type coils like Mundy's magic and fused Clapton coils and wondered if they are any better than the run of the mill coils? Also they seemed to be when made are extremely thick and need large post holes to accommodate them...true or false?

Can't wait for the next installment.
