Is it just me?

[SKYYcamel]

First off, let me say, this is NOT a knock on any of Rob's products. I'm a Reo lover and always will be. I just have to ask. Am I the only one that prefers good old LR 510 atties over the RM2? I just can't get the flavor and performance from the RM2 that I get from the 1.5ohm atties from Empire mods. I've tried several times. Watched all the videos. Just can't get the "nirvana" that others seem to be getting. I just wanna know if I'm alone here. Again, I am crazy about Rob's mods and his stellar service. Just wanted to see if I'm the only one that just doesn't "get it". Thanks!

Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm just a cheap skate and rebuilding is the way to go for that. I have a couple of flavors that are great in a plain atty that suck in a rm2 so if i want them I'll use a regular otherwise i stick to the rba.

 

[Mudflap]

I've not tried the LR 510 attys from Empire, but I can most assuredly proclaim that the RM2 smokes any other 510 atty I've ever used, low resistance or otherwise, regardless of how pretty or sloppy I build my coils.

 

[thinkingaboutit]

I did shorty cartos, a couple atties (nothing high quality), then the rm2. Reomizer finished it for me. But, everyone is different.

I don't think REOville has a law that states you must like and use a RM2. If you prefer atties, there's nothing wrong with that. The nice thing is, there are lots of choices for topping a REO. The one you like is the right one.

 

[Crash Moses]

Yup...some people can't stand cotton and some don't like silica, or nichrome, or what have you. A lot of it is juice dependent and a lot is just personal preference (I like absinthe...my buddy doesn't). Nothing to fret over.

But let me ask you this...have you tried micro-coils?

Thanks CAT. Maybe I just can't pry my VV Grand out of my hand long enough to make a proper coil.

I did. I just think that wrapping coils is not one of my talents.

Whatever you use to stay off the analogs is great! And not everyone even wants to use ANY RBA's.What you feel is right for you IS right for you!

No worries...sometimes it takes some experimentation to figure out what works.

For what it's worth I recently talked my buddy into a Reo and while he enjoys the RM2 he still thinks he gets better flavor from his H.357 (I can't tell the difference but after 25 years of smoking my taste buds are still recovering).

 

[rc10mike]

You are not alone. After a year of using LR cartos and HH357 atties, Im now struggling to reproduce the same flavor with a RBA.

Ok guys, before completely giving up on the RM2 try building a low ohm coil. I tell you it vapes like nothing I've used to date. If I could get the courage to put myself out there I'd make a vid on how I make my dual coils that completely rock btw but I am guessing there's probably 1 already out there?

Some people are good at doing coils and some people aren't. I am not good at it but i bought some pre-made coils that i have a bunch of for those times when i can't get it right

I love the RM2 even with my limitations it works for me.

 

[aarhus]

It's a personal thing. Atties do give a great vape for me, but the dry hits just...... kills me. Flooding is also a problem for me.

I come from a dripping background, so the RM2 is a no-brainer for me. My equation is simple: I can make the RM2 perform like an atty, a carto (why would I), an ultra-low ohm RBA, etc. All by varying the coil and wick.

Mind you, I used to roll my own analogs, so I just plain like to tinker

 

[fatherdano]

I've had so so coils made for my Grand that turn into superheros when I put them on my VVGrand

The VVGrand is very forgiving when it comes to coils.

 

[Raynman]

Whatever works the best for you is the shizzle my nizzle.

 

[pianoguy]

Mrs. Pianoguy still prefers her cartos to any RBA I've had her try. It's like the RBA is too much for her.

 

[oplholik]

I haven't got my RM2 up to what I get from my 1.5Ω atties yet, it's close, but not quite there yet. But I think it's just a matter of experimenting with different coil builds until you get it there. I am going to get some different gauge wire today to try.

I heartily concur...I'm vaping a .8 ohm micro-coil in my RM2 right now using the Rene 41 wire pdib and Xobeloot conned me into buying and it is by far the best vape I've had to date. Amazing...wow...that's all I can say.

Maybe I got lucky with the build...I dunno...holy wah...

Can't wait for my r41 wire to get in. Gonna be a fun experiment, that's for sure. I'll need to order another RM2 so I can do side by side comparisons.
