Been quite content with my 2 reo grands (one with rm 2.0, other with ERA) running micro coils and cotton.

But..... it would be great to have a atty that sported air control or dual coil capabilities.

Anything like that available, or is there anything that can be modified to fit and bottom feed? I have a drillpress and tiny drillbit set so drilling the post on something for bottomfeeding shouldnt be a problem.
Thanks

I run an igo-w4 on a milled or LP, as they are now called, Reo Grand as well as other gear. If your drip well is not LP, then most will not fit.

Cyclones are popular with the LP users. The igo's i use have to be modified yourself. You can "LP" the Reo yourself or pay Rob to do it. Mine met a 9" sanding disc one weekend at work ;)

Nope... mine arent LP, I wasnt even aware rob offered low profile mods.

Im a welder/ fabricator so i could take one of them out to the garage and hit the dripwell deck with a sanding disk...then touch up the bare aluminum afterwords with some paint. Pretty good idea!

How did you convert your igo? Drilled a hole through the centerpost?

I got a igo-w i might go ahead and drill out for bottomfeeding.

If thats successful ill give my dripwell deck a buz.

Thanks for the idea!

Got the igo-w center post drilled and drilled the hole in the post above the deck for juice outlet..... that was the easy part.

Trying to add a second hole for dual coils and its like trying to widdle a hole in concrete with a stick,lol

I have cobalt bits but smallest i have is 1/16 but didnt want to go that big.

If i ever get this hole done ill lp the reo

Had to just go with the 1/16" cobalt for the 2 airholes.... the cheap chinese drill bits just wasnt cutting it.

I dont like real airy draw as i think it mutes flavor but this is doing pretty good since the dual coils help.

you might have let the genie out of the bottle. That's what I used to say, after three days of vapping a airy draw on my cyclone+AFC I could not go back and drilled all my other RBAs larger.

Thanks guys, shes chuggin along great.

Takes a couple seconds to warm up... i dont have a way to test ohms anymore since selling my provari once i tried reos lol. I may have to order an ohm checker...

I used 11 wraps of 28g kanthal on an 18g syringe tip- any guesstimates on my ohmage running 2 of these coils?

Anyway... i got a buddy at work vaping and seeing all the fun he was having ordering new tanks and mods- i hit fasttech up to see what new stuff ive been missing and it seems all the new rba's out there have multiple coil and airflow options,
Wanting to jump on this train i ordered...

astro clone mod / kayfun clone w air control

Nemesis mod clone / 3d auto dripper rba

Maraxus mod clone / lotus dripper rba

Brass caravela mod clone / kraken with brass sleeve.


Now i really feel like a jack--- because i now have a reo that could of just took a $30 hcigar origen dripper clone and would of had dual coil option and airflow control.

Oh- well, the caravela/ kraken in all brass looks sweet and can always give the other mods as gifts i guess.
