New Grand with milled catch cup

[pdib]

good point about the preservation of the finish, t-cad. Seeing as how many of us will often use smaller atties as well; I think the gap is preferable to worn off - scuffed up paint with a smaller atty on.


just for sizing/documentation/statistical purposes. I went smack flush to the 510 (I blackened it with sharpie and didn't stop grinding til I got the first glint of metal. then I smoothed lightly with a file and called it good). Anyway, when flush to the 510 I get a good 1mm gap under my Nimbus clone.

Right now I have a little version Rob 0-ring (←tech talk) on the cup and a 1mm thick fiber washer on that and I get a perfect juice seal with the atty bottomed out on the 510.

I got mine yesterday too…a tumbled raw Grand, with a black silver vein door. thanks Rob!
No worry about scraping paint.

I have to get some time to put my b/f Cyclone together with 2 coils and the afc i got separate from UK.

DZ'ed a couple .55 8 wrap 27g … hope to have some free time saturday to get that kit together;

heheh i figure no rush since the sub ohm kit isn't on the way yet, although pounding the existing contact/spring won't matter since it will be replaced soon enough.

Yeah Super, i predicted as much; new b/f attys will be popping up soon enough … i mean of course hell yeah!

 

[ukeman]

not bad eh? i look at that and think, with a sub ohms kit inside, ooooh baby, bottom feedin sub ohms, .35 ohms dual air holes… what a rig.

btw Jasl90 sent me a b/f Micro Gen he makes, but the nextel wick is too thick and won't wick up to the coil enough.
I'll have to reduce it. It's like an 801 with a brass pos. post and neg. stub inside. You just wick the pos post, and wrap a coil.

That looks awesome!!! Can't wait to see it with the cyclone on it.
Congrats on a fine lookin', custom Reo!!!

No, no, no...another temptation!

Yep, I'm super tempted too. It is a very worthwhile modification. Looks like all the cool kids are getting shaved heads these days.

Just got it today. My 2nd Reo Grand. Rob milled the catch cup down to almost flush with the 510. Also, the new Brass Rm2 with unmilled base. I couldn't be happier with the combo. Thanks Rob!!!

Very nice looking, congrats. the Brass with the Copper vein is great looking.

I'm quite happy with the RM2 so If both regular cups and milled cups were offered when I ordered I'm not sure which I would have chosen.

 

[custom-classic]

I know what you mean. The Rm2 is outstanding. However, I do like to chase a cloud from time to time and it's hard to beat duals for that. I just like having options.
Don't you have copper vein with brass goin' on as well???

Indeed I do

 

[custom-classic]

Yeah, I just went back and found some pics of yours. I too have a black wrinkle and now a copper vein with brass. Great minds an' all...

Cyclone doouble micro… 27g =.40 ohms.
fluffy hemp fiber; OxyClean/ and boiled a ton of times…







So I look at this (Kraken on an M16) and say "really'? all that for duals and double air holes?


haha yeah the kraken is cool!; and really, the Cyclone AFC on the Reo Grand is freaking "out there" … you want clouds? flavor?
with the adjustable dual airholes wide open lung inhales… or not… tightened up for more civilized mouth pulls.
This will hold up to any wind factor on the road
You'll surely see as well as taste your vapor.


note the thumb nail for the "uke" in ukeman haha

OK Ukers, put some pics in the other thread I started. We had like 3-4 threads going on this blossoming theme, and I want people to be able to find all this stuff in one place.

btw . . . . sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

The bad thing about Thanksgiving is i bore easily. The good thing is that there is nobody at work. Soooo....



That's a Smok Scar on top of it, butchered for use! I might paint the grand black again but right now, i rather like the contrast.

[custom-classic]

Looks great ST!!! Details on how you did it please!!!

 

[pdib]

Nice work, HomeBrit! Yeah, I like the contrast too.

The Reo had a date with this and my square - to make sure i got it all even.

The Scar ended up having a channel cut in the centre pin for juice. The centre pin just pushes out on it, but it's a tiny pin and drilling it was taking forever. The insulator is just soft rubber, so juice will pass it.
There are two holes in the threading at the bottom that go nowhere, but allow juice to leak, so in time-honoured fashion, i superglued them shut.

Running 2 standard Super-X microcoils in it to get 0.7Ω. There is a front airhole in it that leads to two others in the chamber, one under each coil.

Not a bad vape.

PS - the bottom of the pin is flat - so i cut a notch in that too.
