before I sell my ProVari + RSST + ProRing, where can I find an ohm meter with a 510 connection? I dont really want to go out and buy a multimeter...

EVERY site i've seen that carries them sells out in a day or two after getting them in stock. Best bet is to use the site's "notify me" thingy

Do as i do - keep the mailman sweet: i buy mine a dinner gift card now and then for his wife and himself at their favourite restaurant. All my mail is delivered now.

I don't know if they are all especially busy at Xmas here, but i can imagine if he is - it'd be nice to just go out to eat.

Not that sitting in a mailbox for ages will hurt anything Reo, just that curiosity gets the better of you and i'd rather not make 3 trips in 100+ heat ad stalk the poor man!

Ha, definitely a good idea. Only thing is my mailman seems to change every week lol it stinks.

I was asking people this last night, and everyone is sold out. Seems like everyone wants one. An old school meter works good but is a pia sometimes.

Go to madvapes and sign up to be notified. When you get the mail, buy it within 2 minutes. That's what I did a couple of days ago. They had 20 units available. Within 10 minutes they were gone.

... I got mine :D been hunting for it for a couple of months.

The reverse "insert clever joke here" coil:

Flavor and th is incredibly well balanced, and I actually have a nic buzz for the first time in years off of just a few puffs!

The bottom coil is almost touching the air hole, so the air is sweeping up the entire length straight to the drip tip.

Coil is 26awg nichrome at ~.7

Vape is warm, flavorful and delicious!

Man... The out of context jokes that will come from this! Bring it on!

This is for sure the Xoberangutan standard!

Cyclone will not fit a 2.0 or mini. Its standard cap is a good option for a Grand or VV Grand. The special air control cap that is sold for the Cyclone will not fit any of the REOs as far as I know.

I read a post on Reddit by one guy who said the air control cap will still work fine... it's just that it will only seal with one of the O-rings, not two... but that it's still sturdy and doesn't pop off or leak.

Has anyone else here given it a try? I'm curious... I'd love an air control cap, if even just to be able to close it off entirely to almost completely remove any risk of front-pants-pocket nic juice leakage out the air hole. I've had a couple of drips from my RM2... though admittedly that might be because I enlarged the air hole.

Ok. I give that plan a great big thumbs down.

The beauty of the reo (in my opinion) is that i can toss it in my pocket and go. No worries, no leaks.

Here it is w/ the cyclone base screwed onto my grand just far enough to be stable.

1) The cap is barely making contact with the top o-ring

2) The repositioned cap requires some creative coil placement to be functional

3) If you even breathe on this thing, the cap will pop off.

So... That being said: if you never put it in your pocket, knock it over, bump it by accident...

No thanks! I'll leave it on my bogger

Awesome, thanks so much for the comprehensive reply!

I was very skeptical reading that other guy's post... so glad I asked for confirmation!

I'm guessing with a 510-510 shorty adapter, there might be enough clearance, but it would also probably make it look ridiculous.

Thanks again for the assist! Most appreciated! (You saved me some money!) :D

I can confirm as well...loose as heck. However...I'm going to try it with a different o-ring.

It works with an adapter and I wouldn't say it looks ridiculous but it's just...not right. And your squonk isn't leak free. And I believe an adapter voids the warranty on your Reo...

Nope...I tried it with several different sized o-rings. Anything larger than the standard and the cap just pops off.

The Cyclone is a great atty especially with the AFC but it's juice well is tiny. I'm constantly refilling it after just a couple of vapes (although a little extra length in the cotton wick helps).
