So I gave up trying to drill my Cyclone with AFC and said frick it... I took my dremel to the center post and made a groove and surprisingly is working well!

I threw a quick .5 ohm dual coil with ekowool and I dig it. I am discovering cotton is much better with a bottom feeder than ekowool imo but hopefully no issues arise. The great thing with the Cyclone is its easy to close the afc which should eliminate leaking.

Main thing with the trident is the copper set screw that gets grooved. If it could be grooved then silver plated... BAM!

I am actually looking to replace mine with a stainless replacement. A stainless center screw could actually be drilled straight up the center removing more material than grooving it.

This would have slightly gigher resist, but still function perfectly like my previous pics.

The main thing in going ss post is the elimination of juice on copper corrosion.

I doubt the corrosion is actually vaporizing as my juice is not ill flavored, but long term is unknown, and ss removes the need for end-user deep-cleaning. Lack of deep cleaning eliminates user error on reassembly.

My new favorite setup. At least for me the Cyclone with AFC does exactly what I want. The wide open slots that easily close to prevent leaking. The milling is even a bit lower than needed.

how do you vape like that?. . .. . with your carpeting running up the wall, I mean. Hey! Is your living room like one of those vans from the 80s? No knocking when rocking? Ceiling mirrors?
 
Ugh Cavere! You make me want to buy another Reo that's milled so I can run the AFC on my cyclone! I must keep telling myself I'm happy with my 1/16 air holes cyclone... yep just keep saying it. On a side note I do have the fusion drip tip that's made for the cyclone on the way!!!

I milled the juice well down on a bunch of grands today . I plan to make a spot on the website for modified grands . I have been looking at some atomizers to convert to bottom feeders . If anyone has some decent atomizers in mind please let me no

Definitely the immortalizer and the Origen dripper. Best RDAs IMO.

How about silver plated instead of SS?

Pulled the Christmas trigger this morning. Rob is making me a milled silver vein with an unmilled rm2. I will have to wait for the aluminum bottom cover, but I think it will come out pretty cool. I am going to make a button cover out of a stack of soldered dimes with a socket drilled in the bottom, class up the joint.

i like my milled grand - i did it myself by driving to work with it hanging on a bit of string out the car door.

It looks like i mean business and opens up a lot of possibilities for atties. The dimes will ofc depend on your soldering skills! I'd be worried about defacing coinage - some places have stiff sentences for that!

When will you get it?

i agree with "best" rating, but i consider the Origen almost a tank dripper already; it has deep dual juice wells that will hold about a mil already

i agree that taking a good dripper that is limited because it has to be redripped all the time, and mod it for a Reo … we are talking a new milestone!
