Rebuilding is easy at any age o would imagine unless you've got arthritis etc, but I understand. All I'm saying is I was intimidated but shocked at the ease. That's not to try and convince you to rebuild just sharing my thoughts. I'm no help with non rebuild ables since I've never used them but if you're using a reo it almost doesn't matter what atty you choose...I'm sure any caro will vape awesome

There are some Cartomizers available on reosmods. They work great, you should give them a try!

Cartomizers

A couple years ago, before rebuilding I use these atomizers: BULK 901 801 Joye 510 and 306 atomizers

The 510 and 306 use different drip tips. I went with the L.R. 1.5 ohm. I did like the 306 better.

Just FYI, I started rebuilding at age 69ish, it's a piece of cake even with old eyes and unsteady hands. If you want to ease into it (not necessary, but just sayin'), you can purchase coils for them online at several places.

But I started out using 510 disposable attys too, the ones on the REO site work great!

+1 (to OP)

as many folks here know, i'm in my 60's and have only one usable hand and was near-blind before i had cataract surgery on both eyes.

even then, i found rebuilding an rm2 a piece of cake--- relative to anything else. i'm sure you can do it. and it's way, way cheaper in the long run if you are on social security like me

So if I make an attempt to rebuild, I should get a rm2? any other usefull tips??

yep, the RM2 is the easiest one i know of for rebuilding. the ceramic deck in the rm2 is a lifesaver for first time coil builders, like i was.

and, this forum will provide all the help you need.


but, if you still want to buy disposables, i found these to be as good as the more expensive ciscos

Atomizers

Just ordered a rm2 will watch some videos and give it a try. Thanks to all

Hi and welcome!!! So glad you're gonna go for the rebuildable RM2! I'll soon be 72 and I'm blind as a bat and enjoy the company of " Mr. Arther Itis" daily and I have no problem with making the coil/wick set up.

There's many choices of tools to help with the coil building..the Coil Master comes to mind off hand. I still use the Dark Zero Jig but unfortunately he no longer makes them. Someone will chime in on the various coil builders. Even little screw drivers and toothpicks will work!

But don't give up with your first efforts, there's plenty of help and advice you can get from so many fine folk here.

Ditto.. and remember don't expect greatness or vape able the first shot. Just get your feet wet and you'll get the hang of it. Just know that when you get it good enough it will vape wayyyyyyy better then anything you've experianced prior and it will only get even better as you get more picky with it.

I ordered a DIY Coil Master Kit and some 26guage a1 Kanthal. All I can do is try!!!!
