Is that atty just made for the RIO's? If I remember correctly, the center post is drilled out to allow the dripping correct?
Yup. There are several other bottom fed atties available but you have to have a low profile reo. I don't think this one is lp, but I'm not sure. Either way, easiest thing I've ever built on. I love the flavor of dripping but I need something I can set and forget.

The one you pictured looks just like an IGO-w, which is nice. I've always liked my IGO, it's just the deck isn't deep, so your dripping small amounts of juice. Is that a 18650 model? I thought Reo's were like 18350's or 18500's or something like that. I know I can drop over in the REO forum, but it's easier hearing this from someone here that owns one (or 10) ;)

This is a mini so holds 3ml and 18490 battery. The grand holds 6ml and 18650. And no problem :) but I'm newer than most at this. Papaw is I think the reo expert around here.

For me dripping is a huge hassle. I have small kids so have to be sure juice is all out of reach. Let alone leaving the house was just a no go for me. Can't change flavors as often with the reo, but at 3ml I'm ready for a change. I have extra bottles and tubes so a flavor change is as simple as rewick, change bottle, squonk and vape.

    Yes, definitely get that looked into if it doesn't start to clear up soon, David. Hope you're feeling better soon. IG, glad to hear your mom is doing better - yoga, that's cool! DJ, Sun Screen, man! Rub on some coconut oil with Aloe. In other news: It's here, it's here! Let the bells ring out and the banners fly! Feast your eyes on it! It's too good to be true, but it's here! it's here! I've been Magamatized!
    Cool get the Panzer going and give the 26xxx platoon a 21 hit salute ! But watch the nic or you'll be

    I just spent my life savings and some money borrowed from family to get a brand new modem and the best Netgear router available to save my job.

    The junk that the ISP offers was causing problems and the speeds were so slow behind the VPN they said fix it or be demoted to customer.

    Took a long lunch and got it fixed!!

    Well the job wire has really been ringing today. Wasn't really expecting it, but apparently my name has been floating around with some of the vendors I worked with in the past. The one vendor I think wants to hire me, I don't think they can afford me :p

    I know this may sound weird to some folks, but I ask for a sort of "signing" bonus, especially when dealing with small companies. That generally guarantees 2 things, if they start going under and checks start to bounce (seen it before), I'm sorta "paid" ahead and can walk away whole. In turn, if that small company decides to sell out, I can walk away whole if I don't want to go to the company that acquired. Both selling and companies going under has happened to me in the past - I don't work for free.

    So far the companies that I've been talking to are cool with me working from my home office, which is really a relief. I mean, I haven't been out of my pajamas before noon in like 4 months - I don't want to change that LOL! My office is totally setup so I don't have to walk anywhere, so that would be a big stress reliever right there. I hate having to explain why I need to walk with a cane and no the "boot" doesn't come off, and Yes I can walk up stairs and no I can't stand for a long time - UGH. I just want to vape my .... off, do whatever needs to be done and watch a little TV while I'm doing that - am I asking for too much LOL!

    I have cable phone and internet with 2 phone lines and 50mb/s up and 5mb/s down.

    I was using an Arris modem with integrated wireless.

    I went and bought a standalone Arris modem that only works as a bridge or passthrough (and has the support for the phone lines) to a router and a Netgear N750 wireless router.

    VPN is a funny thing. Your always limited to your upload speed. There is also setting in the router you need to make sure VPN works well. If you need some help - PM me, I can help if your stuck.

    OUTSTANDING ! ! !

    The REOS RBA's are disassembled and modified then reassembled by Rob O'Niell. And it' not dripping. It's squonking. The juice is beneath the 510 connector in an onboard bottle. The whole in the door is so you can squeeze the bottle with a gentle push by the tip of the thumb. This gently pushes E-Liquid up the feed tube ( inside the bottle and connected to the bottom of the 510 connector) and into the Atomizer, Clearomizer or RBA. This action is known as squonking.

    Ease of Use. And you clean it with..... Hot water. As in rinse.

    Look at your battery spring and your firing pin. Are they silver (aluminum), or gold (plated) ? If gold, just don't ever file them. If aluminum, you really should apply a small dab of naalox to the firing pin after each washing.
    Congratulations. Welcome to the world of REONauts. And, for the record, Dusty has owned a Grand for about four years now. I haven't been vaping that long....

    I had a dripper before but hated the whole process. I realize now the building was harder because of the set up. And I hated the actual dripping every 5 minutes. I like chain vaping so this is much better for me

    The mini 2.1 you have is a straight mechanical mod, as in no circuit protection. It will not handle dead shorts. The battery spring is designed to collapse in a dead short to protect the mod, but then the spring has to be replaced. I would STRONGLY recommend a good Ohms check (like five continuous seconds) BEFORE test firing a new coil. Your mini has the older style contacts, as in pre-subohming. I would not go below 0.8 ohms with that mini.
    The RM2 (I have seven) is the only attachment I use. Easy, durable and matches your REOS perfectly. Just a few observations;
    Try to keep the top of the coil as high as the top of the posts. This will prevent E-Liquid from clinging between the deck and coil which negatively impacts the air flow around the coil and the RM2 performance.
    You can clean the RM2 by boiling it for 3- 5 minutes.
    You should have a small O-ring between the RM2 and the catch cup (510 connector). This is to prevent over tightening of the RBA to the mod which, in extreme instances, could damage the inner seals inside the connector. If you don't have one, PM me your mailing address and I'll send you a couple.
    Go to REOVille and say hello. Literally hundreds of REONauts. Dozens frequent the thread ' REOS LOUNGE'and are eager for you to enjoy your REOS as much as they enjoy thiers.
