As long as we're on the topic of my personal pho-buck storage capacity reaching it's "free" limits. :blink:

I really hate pho-bucket, and would probably burst a vein in my neck if I had to pay for it's slouchy, spotty, unresponsive, slow services. Can anyone recommend a good photo server for storage and online sharing?


:-x :) :-x :):blink::D

Been using Smugmug.com for years, good service a lot of pro photographer use it.

Arg. Fighting with my cyclone right now need advice. Can't find the right vape with it like I can so easily with my rm2. All it wants to do is give me little vapor with a real harsh throat hit. I have tried ohms from .7 to 1.7. Twisted 30. Regular 26 28 and 30. Coil high coil low. Moving the airhole everywhere.
With the rm2 I use twisted 30 1 ohm and its perfect. What am I doing wrong with the cyclone?
I could just throw the milled rm2 on the oliveR but I like the looks of the cyclone so much better.


Edit. Regular cyclone no AFC cap and lower hole drilled for better feeding.

Milkman, try positioning it like this:

Also check to make sure the wick isn't obstructing the air hole and make sure the airhole isn't pointing down when you vape.

My coil is about 1mm off the deck :)

Well.... It's registering a short now, after I took it apart and put back together ( badly) the screws look ugly and brassy now lol. Rocking a milled one right now and if looks funny. Whatevs still hitting fantastic =-p I'll work on it tomorrow night

Master,
There is an o ring in the goody bag that will cover up the milling of the rm2. Not sure if the o ring or the brass milling looks better just saying its there....

I agree with super-X - if you're getting a harsh hit your coil probably needs to come down just off the deck:

And coil placement right in front of the air hole is usually good, maybe not quite this close but you get the idea:

I know that's an RM2 but the same principle works with the cyclone.

Beautiful mod by the way. :)

I have not drilled the hole on the cap and yes I apparently am way to close to the posts.

Yep, that's it. Just loosen the right post and slide the mandrel back thru, pull that side out, tighten then repeat on left side. Keep it close to the deck but not touching :)

Also, the stock airhole is kinda tight. 1/16" fixed that :)

Ok so next question. Can you describe tight vs not tight.?
What would be nice is say i take an 8 second draw but wanted to cut that down to 4 seconds but have the same throat hit and vapor volume? Is that accomplished by the hole size in the cap?

Finally got around to ordering up a few of those 1600 AW IMR 18650's and more of those super short black Delrin drip tips that I run :)

In other news can someone recommend a flashlight that runs on an AW IMR 18650?

I've been using an older (820 lumens) version of this one for years. It's so good that we use it as the search light on the boat instead of plugging in the old spot light. I've been using protected Orbies, but I don't see any reason it can't use AW IMRs - if they're button top, anyway.

Trying to find the one I have... Kinda looks like the CUBE mod. I like it and it wasn't too expensive. I'll get the model number when I get home.
While I was looking, I came across these...
CREE XM L T6 LED 2000LM Zoomable 18650 Mini Flashlight Torch Zoom Lamp Light | eBay
2100LUMEN CREE XML T6 LED Zoomable Zoom Torch Flashlight 18650 26650 7 Modes R2 | eBay

... Now that you got me thinking about it, I may need to grab another.
