The whole thing is brass, so the top of the rm2 and the the stem/base of the tip will actually fuse together. You can get it out by tapping it from inside the cap, but plan on them getting stuck together.
Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

Mine is 1/8", yes. On both sides. I run a dual coil at 0.3ohm. Though, I am a cloud chaser... my flavor is excellent, but I understand that most people don't hit their e-cigs with their lungs like I do.
As for sanding, and this is was recommended to me by the man himself:
Use one of the 510 connectors (hopefully you have one). Attach it to your RM2. Then, close your drill's mouth onto the 510 connector tightly. With 200 grit sandpaper in-hand, pull the trigger and let the drill do the work.
I would suggest being careful when your sanding that way, as I ended up taking quite a bit of metal off. See
versus
. The first was from Rob. The second was my work. Here's a profile comparison.

What exactly is the copper firing pin that I am hearing about? Is it the metal strip that connects to the bottom of the 510 connector or the actual firing pin in the 510 connector. I broke mine trying to unscrew the bottom of the connector. I had this crazy idea of making a new strip out of some copper pipe that I had lying around.
The pipe also just barely fits around the top cop of my rm2, can you say air flow control? So I almost cried when I broke it. No worries, popped over to the website for a rebuild kit, out of stock!!!! NNNNNOONONONONNONNNONNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Emailed "the dude" parts incoming. Wish I could have gotten the new parts minus the spring but such is life.
I have been using my back-up Igo-L and K100. Damn I miss my REO!!!! Dripping is such a PITA!!!!!!!!!!
On a side note, anyone know how to make the Copper-vein go back to copper and not black? Probably just sand the body down to bare metal but leave the door.

I wanted to paint my reo also. Was wondering if anyone has done it and what exactly would need to be done.
I draw on mine all the time with paint-markers. Easy removal with 91% isopropyl alcohol, and lots of fun.
when painting anything prep is the key. Sand it, clean all dust and oils off with acetone, use etching primer on bare metal, paint.
Will the new contacts play nice with flat top batteries? I really like the new hybrids! They really pack a wallop and hold on for hours.
I am chomping right there with youBumping this up in my list.
Can't wait for 'em. I've been holding off on ordering some supplies just chomping at the bit for this upgrade.
any update? Hope it is soon. The reo is amazing. Have a happy holidays. That is great that you are focused on quality.
So we can:
- Send them to you to have the new kit installed (after paying and what not)
or
- order the kit and install it ourselves, right?

Those would be your options. But, the new kits aren't available yet.
