So, I imagine that some folks will be interested in dual coil atties. The Nimbus Clone I got from Tree works great. The IGO-W is a winner, I think. It's all SS, well made, not crazy expensive, and easy to mod for BF. It begs for adjustable air holes, with it's cylindrical cap (straight cylinder, I mean).

yeah I think it depends on weather you're looking to use clones and cheaper stuff or carry some higher end stuff. probably going to get best bang for the buck starting with a cheaper ss atty. pick up a bunch and play with them. could do something like start with a cheap base like an a6s but then re machine the original cap to add a slip on ring for airflow. that atty has a cap with a lot of extra meat on it to play with but it's only a 14mm atty. to take advantage of the milled deck you probably want to use a larger 18mm atty.

I still say the cyclone is just such a natural on the milled reo, they compliment each other so well :)

Yes, the IGO-W is a solid performer. I bought a couple for experimentating. AFC would really put it out in front.

I agree...some minor adjustments to an already decent atty would be a great place to start.

And yes...the Cyclone/AFC and Reo is the perfect combination...it's currently my ADV.

I have a igo-s on one of my grands nice little atomizer great flavor . With the milled down grands it opens up a whole new set of options I plan to dabble with some atomizers

I'm quite interested to see where this goes. I've pretty much used my igo-s (channel is cut for BF) with my grand above other RDAs and prefer it, especially aesthetically. What kind of options does the milled drip cup present? It has a nice fit in the standard drip cup, so I'm curious =) (I'd kill for a bottom fed igo-s with a ceramic cup)

If you were to start selling modded igo-s's, I'd certainly purchase a few of them!

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but has anybody used a "recessed" 510 connector? I saw these on a site and according to the description the "classic" type is meant to provide air intake, and the recessed is made for RBA's with an air hole on the side of the atomizer. It just got me thinking, since we do not use the air intake at the 510 anyway, would it be beneficial to smooth it out?

I'd say the atty base is the hardest part to make from scratch, I'd say maybe pick the most suitable base and then whip up your own custom cap for it, can control chamber size and airflow, can make the cap really thick to take advantage of the milled reo and also give enough room to build in your own airflow control, or do something similar to what you did with that delrin ring, just in stainless maybe, an oring to retain it, so many different ways to go,

no one has any kind of adjustable airflow that also controls leakage so an air flow with a bit of a chimney leading up like your delrin ring would be awesome for the reo...

Rob, I would be interested in stainless attys modded for BF. I lack the patience and tools to do much more than drill / enlarge hole in the cap.

That divo looks sweet. A BF version with a hole low in the post so it drains would be right up my alley.
I no many of you dont want to deal with modding them . I am happy to do it I will be ordering some atomizers for testing .

^ sweet :). I would like to mod em but I can't even get the center post out of an ERA clone that I have let alone drill it :)

Do you think the Igo is the way to go for those who like the RM2 Rob? Sounds promising :)
I am running the igo-s on my grand its a nice atomizer . Its basically a era . I think the reomizer is a better atomizer for many reasons but I no people have different tastes . I have been trying to buy them in bulk but it seems no one is making them anymore . I am on the hunt for a couple to add to the mix
