I had used a fatty v2 at a local b&m and was instantly hooked. while i was browsing okcvapes site i seen that they carry bottom feed adapter/screw for them.

wondering if i would need the milled reo or if it would fit on a standard reo grand. Seems like it might be slim enough. But i didnt know about the adapter at the time.

I was also thinking about a cyclone. Couldnt find any in stock.

If you are venturing into other rba's it would be a good idea to pick-up the LP Grand. With the lower edge of the drip well you can use most of the larger rba's.

The RM2 is a very good choice. Cost is not prohibitive and it works great. The un-milled RM2 will give you a nice clean look mounted on the LP Grand. A milled RM2 would show a gap between the bottom of the RM2 and the drip well.

You can check the inside diameter of the catch cup here. I don't know what the diameter of the "adapter" is, but the RM2 rebuildable bottom feed atty that Robert sells on reosmods.com (here) is HIGHLY recommended by most everyone on this subforum. He also sells wire and silica (for wicks).

I use the rebuildable that he sells (RM2), but some others that use a cyclone may chime in here shortly. Hope that helps.

Indy vapor shop has the Cyclone BF version in stock and it fits the standard Reo drip well. The AFC top will not fit a standard REO you'll need a LP version. The Divo by vicious Ant is available in BF and is a nice little rba that will work on either Reo. The RM2 is hands down the easiest to work with, I own 4.

I switched all my Reos to LP version since I never plan to run standard attys or cartos, it give me a lot more flexibility. I have a 22mm Patriot that I modded to be bottom feed and it works great as dual coil cloud machine.

Thanks for the answers.
Im at work so i kinda jumped the gun when i was decided on another reo. I do have one with an rm2. Had it since early december. Which i love. It has replaced my wood mods with a7 and a7minis. And my mechs just collect dust most of the time.

As for the "adapter". it is a positive screw and insulator replacement. Insulator looked to be shaved on the sides to allow for the liquid to travel around the positive post. Instead of like the rm2 through the center post.

I do like the rm2. But i tend to like the posts a little bit closer. Micro coils at 1.2 to 1.4 ohms.

Honestly i wanted something that looked different. Not a cloud chaser. Just like variation in styles.

Again thanks for answers. Much appreciated.

Robert now offers the IGO-S also. The posts are closer than the RM2. It is getting good reviews from Reonauts. Just another option for ya!

I got the RM2 and IGO-s that Rob sells and the Hornet and Cyclone; all excellent choices. IMHO the ease of build and quality of vape are all about equal. Rob's machining and eye for detail (quality control) is second to none. Here's the cyclone on a Mini 2.1 and also the IGO-s
