I've been loving! my RM2 and the builds couldn't be easier. BUT...I just got a Cyclone today and see there are two holes in one of the posts. I'm only used to one hole in each post. What do I do with this extra hole?

The Reomizer and the Chalice have a separate hole in the deck because of the spread posts most other RBAs have a lower hole in the center post, especially if they have a center post like the Cyclone.

Dang!!!!! You're gonna have so much cool, new gear you're going to be teaching me all about it!!!! I'm actually looking at a new topper too. Love the RM2, easy to build but....that Odin is calling my name. Well, so is the REO Grand
Well, what are you waiting for Angi! You're going to fall sooo far behind if you don't get it in gear. haha Yes, I've read about the Odin. Then there's the 'Reactor'? or something like that. Okay, it's your turn. Buy the Odin and tell us what you think. Okay?
I didn't want to build the Cyclone until I found out what those 2 holes were for. Prolly good I didn't put a wire in that juice hole, huh.

Thanks for asking this! I just got mine too and was confused about the center post as well.
Another question for those who have built a coil on the Cyclone. I built a 1.1 ohm coil that's working fine but...
I find the space almost too tiny to keep the coil well away from the cap. I made my coil facing the post with the juice hole on the left. Should I have put the coil on the other side of the posts? Also, do you find it to have a rather tight draw? (Maybe not as I vape it longer)
Also, do you use an O-ring at the base of the Cyclone like you do with the RM?

Using the o-ring will keep things from getting sloppy. As far as your build, a pic would help us with finding the best answer.
I have drilled my Cyclones to have bigger air holes, the cap is SS so a needle point diamond bit for a Dremel works great and allows to go larger slowly so you can find the perfect size without going past it.
On the Cyclone it doesn't matter which side of the posts you build a single coil on, but you want to get the coil as close and inline with the air hole as you can to get the best performance out of it.... I did open my air hole up to 1/16" which was not much and draw improved on it...
You can build your coil so the legs go on an angle pushing the coil more to the center of the cap, they don't have to go straight out. I'll build a coil and snap a pic, it's really hard to describe verbally
Wow...you guys are MOST helpful. The picture is great! Your coil is built on the other side of the posts, just the opposite of mine. And I can see exactly what you did and it looks like you had a lot more room to work on that side (with the juice hole post on the right).
Thanks a billion!

Here is my process....I screw the atty on the mod and tighten it down. Then I take note which side the is in line with the fire button or the side that is up when you vape. I then build my coil on that side of the atty. You can also build a mirror image to what FB posted a pic of. It will look identical on the other side of the post.
Thanks Rattler. The side I built the coil on is almost too small to fit even a nano coil on w/o touching the cap. So I'm definitely going to try to build one exactly like FB did. His doesn't look at all close to anything that could cause a short.
