Vintage Vapor has a few pieces left of the regular BF Cyclone ~ No AFC. I called VV today to find out for that member. The one's they have are with the juice hole slightly higher above the deck and not like the ones from Mountain Oak Vapors with the juice hole level to the deck.

The left one in the pick is originally from Indy Vapor and the right one is from Mountain Oak. Just showing pic for reference.

The Cyclops is the Cyclone w/AFC.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

It seems like having the hole level to the deck would preferable because of the ability to drain. Can you comment on the performance differences.

My Cyclone is like the one on the left in that photo. I had a friend drill another feed hole at deck level on the positive post. The hole is barely visible (just a sliver sticks above deck) but it squonks and drains really well.
I did that to both of mine with the higher hole. Cobalt bits and cutting oil required.

I have a couple with the higher hole. With dual coils and AFC I'm grateful for the higher hole. It just means I sqonk less. Actually if you wrap the post with wick the juice drains quite nicely. Those running single coil and spoiled on the RM2 will appreciate the lower hole on the MOV version.

Putting the new contacts in - 3 down, one to go. Definitely worth the wait! :)

Thank you Rob! I know you didn't have to keep us in the loop but I really appreciate it. It was exciting!
