I am seriously thinking about getting a bottom feeder. DNA30 or DNA40 regulated if possible. Any suggestions, folks?

Doing good. Been doing the internet search to see what regulated bottom feeders are out. I've only seen a few and they are either pricey or hard to get. Most of the time both.

I'm a bit surprised you don't already have one.

Just this past week I was just looking (deeper) into building one of my own. Then I got distracted by some that were already available, but I can't find them right now (I delete browser history frequently). They are few and far between these days, but here's what I can recall at the moment:

Red Sky mods apparently makes some now & again. And PBusardo just did a quickie review of the SVA mod here, A PBusardo Review - The SVA Mod - YouTube (should link to about 11 minutes in).

And, of course, there's the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/560010-printed-dna30-bottom-feeder.html thread right here if you want to make one from a 3D printer.

I'm sure there were others, but I can't access that part of my memory right now. I have true RAM.

Saw that review and liked that SVA. Been follow the printed BF thread also. The printed parts are around $40. Add in the DNA and connector along with a few extras would be about $125 give or take. I've found some. Home and a few others. I'm going to keep looking or get tried my hand at it.

Looks like the regulated squonk devices that REO's left a void in is getting filled up.

It's starting to get there. Right now it's mainly high end stuff. But midrange things are starting to show up. I think if a building company came out with a quality bottom feeder in the $200 range they could clean up.

Oh! I forgot to mention that pdib has made an occasional wooden shell for regulated mods. Maybe just one. Or two. I think he and Turbo got together. Or was that Rossum?

Everyday is a new day for me.

That's what I've been looking for is a shell I could buy. To me that's the hard part of building one. Can I make a clean strait looking box? Or will it look like a leaning tower done with a hammer and a chisel buy someone less than sober. :laugh:

REO porn for Papaw. ;) 1.0 ohm coil and filled with Serendipity. Looks sharp with that drip tip doesn't it? :)

Dripping flavor with the slight push of a thumb... How does the Lady like it so far ?
p.s. An Aluminum Button Cover would really set that mod apart.....

Vape purchases never end do they? :laugh: I really want the button cover now...:facepalm: I really like it Papaw. I am wondering if I can make the air hole bigger though. Can I drill that out some on the RM2? And I'd like to go a little lower on the ohms on my next build. Very convenient for me and even purse friendly. I can see this REO coming with me to work every day. I have carpal tunnel and I always have trouble with the bottom firing mods that you have to lock and unlock constantly and the switches always get stuck with me for some reason (my panmag is out of commission right now cause I can't get it to spin from the locked position). Also being able to squonk (oops excuse me...giggle...sounds like a bodily function doesn't it?) and carry that much liquid is nice. Love the easy access to the battery. Indestructible it seems...although I can see my fingernail slicing right through that bottle eventually.

The RM2 can be drilled for a larger whole. Is that a wide-bore drip tip ? You would need a slightly larger air whole if so. Ask Calve, when he's around to try drilling out the air whole slightly larger, like 1/64th larger at a time, until you find one you like. You should have an extra bottle anyways, some REONauts use that for spare juice. I assume you already know you clean / change the juice bottle by unscrewing the cap, NOT by sliding it off of the feed tube. That tube can be a PIA to get back into the bottle cap....
 
I learned that one the hard way...:facepalm: Cool about the air hole...I think it does need to be bigger for me. I think it looks VERY sharp!!!! Loving this thing...
