Hi there fellow Reonauts. I recently acquired my first Reo (Grand) and I absolutely love it . I can't believe it took me so long to discover the wonder of this little box. My question is that I'm finding the flavor of the RM2 quite muted compared to my dual coil drippers that I am used to. I had to open up the airflow on the RM2 to accommodate my preferred style of vaping (lung-inhale). I opened it up to 5/32 and find the clouds and airflow to be quite good. I'm running a 6 wrap 26g on a 2mm mandrel and it's coming out to around .7-.8 ohms. I'm looking to get that concentrated flavor and warm vape that I find so nice. I'm not opposed to picking up a new atty to run dual coils if that's the answer. I'm planning on milling the standard reo to make it a LP so I can have more atty options. Anyone have any suggestions??
Getting more flavor from my RM2

I have found the RM2 to be a little flavor machine but it was not designed for lung hitting. I know many have drilled them out but still don't think that is where the RDA really shines.
My suggestion would be to pick up one of the RM4s that Rob sells (BF version of the Atomic). Still provides very good flavor but allows for larger dual coil builds and lung hits like a dream. Haven't tried the RM5 yet but have heard good things, the RM6 looks like a Stillare which would be really interesting. I like the RM4 because it has a smaller chamber which keeps the flavor in tact while allowing for lung hitting.
If you want to look outside of Rob's RDAs there are many options and you will get many different suggestions. Right now the hot RDAs are the Odin, the Nuppin', and of course the Cyclone. I run all of these on different Reos and love them all for what they offer.

I'd love to pick up a used Cyclone or a Hornet as I've heard great things about them. I'm very hesitant to mill this thing down to a LP since it really is a quality piece of machinery. That RM4 you mentioned will only fir the LP models correct??
The odin is deff a great atty. But i am planning on purchasing a rm2.. if you get tired of yours i will buy it!! I have a atomic clone that i turned b/f and i do enjoy it. I really, REALLY want an rm2 though!! Love the ceramic deck!!

Pics of your build please. It's amazing the difference a few millimeters of adjustment can make with the RM2.
You are correct the RM4 needs an LP Reo. If you have a standard Reo you will need an RBA that is 14mm or smaller in diameter. So RM2, RM3, Igo-s, Cyclone (non-AFC version), Divo and Chalice. Of these only the RM# has dual coil version with two air holes. The rest will need to have the 2nd hole drilled. then there are many other choice that need be drilled for bottom feed.
Please do post a pic of your build. Another thing you can try, go to a higher gauge wire, fold it in half and twist it. Then make a coil. This will drop the ohms in half but give you a coil with more surface area for the vapor and flavor production.

I realize it can be quite a leap to mill down your grand. Sorta like damaging a work of art. But once you do, you open up a whole new world of attys. there are a lot of great bottom fed attys available right now. However, many of them won't fit on a standard profile reo.
Your coil is too close to the posts move it out towards the edge. Mark where your air hole is when screwed down, build your coil so it is positioned right in front of the air hole.
ETA make sure it's far enough from the edge so it doesn't short.

Hard to tell from the angle but I think you need to raise the coil higher also. Hold the cap next to it and note how high the air hole is, you want the coil at the same level so you get good air flow over and under it.
I'll give it a shot when I get home. Thanks for all the help. I heard that all the Reo users out there were super helpful and that was honestly one of the draws for this device (besides it being simple and rock-solid) and the rumors are true. Looking forward to being a long term member of this "club"
Good suggestions so far regarding the coil and position. I would also suggest shorter tails on your wicking.

I took all the advice and moved my coil up and closer to the cap. Damn, what a difference. Great cloud and nice, warm flavor. I seriously think I'm going to sell my beloved Okr Storm box just to get another mini or LP
Congrats, sounds like a good plan! Oh and you can get the mini as LP also.
