You know, when it comes to Reomizers... I never really thought about that. I know with 'stock' rda's it's a given that you have to clean them - or else. (Machining oil and god know what else.) But with Rob's stuff and all the work he does on them...? Don't know if he cleans them before reassembly. This is the first time I've seen that question come up.
Who out there in the 'ville knows the answer to this one?

I don't. LOL. But I do know that I don't prep them in any way, and I've never had any strange "machine oil" taste at all. I don't think PGA would affect the ceramic in any way, but wouldn't want so swear to it.
I usually clean my new rbas but for some reason when i got my reomizer 2 i didnt do it. I didnt even think about it till i read this. Thankfully no strange taste just great tasting vapor
I haven't had a problem soaking in PGA, but usually not for an hour. When I get a new RDA I take out the post screws, wash it in hot water with some Dawn to get rid of any oil that might or might not be there and swish it around in PGA for 5 minutes or so. Takes maybe 10 minutes until it's ready to go.
Probably doesn't even need to be done with a RM2 but I got a RDA once (can't remember what it was) and there was oil and metal flecks so I just started doing it with all of them.

If you do soak it, disassemble it first, then soak all the parts and reassemble
There are nooks and crannies (under ceramic) inside the RM2 where liquid will be trapped
And can take quite a while to evaporate

It won't hurt it but I found a flush with hot water works just fine in all of mine. Great taste from the get go
I gave it the sniff test, no funky oil smells. Just a quick rinse under hot running water, blow out the excess and build.
Used ones I will scrub and soak unless the previous owner did prior to shipping.

I suspect Robert cleans them thoroughly because of all the modifications he does to them. That said, I've lost count of how many RM2's I have, and have never pre cleaned any of them. The RM4, however, did come with what I'd guess is machine oil, so it required the usual prep.
Normally I disassemble and do mild dawn baths and rinse well with very hot water. I have never noticed any machine oil smells on Rob's attys so with the RM2 you may be ok with a good and thorough hot water rinse. That one is a little more involved with disassembling because of the ceramic deck.

Oh if we're gonna go there we have to tell the Reophyte how to do it too: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...2-full-atomizer-itself-rebuild-pic-heavy.html
I hardly clean the Grand i vape it on; i never cleaned a RM2 before i used it, i figure i'll let the coil burn off any crap!
I don't mind a bit of coughing now and then, i smoked for 30 years!
The real answer is they arrive clean; i have about a dozen of them.

I always clean the new attys with Dawn and hot water and rinse like crazy. Used ones get a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner
My batteries didn't come in today so I couldn't use the grand but I threw a 1.7ohm micro coil on the rm2, wicked it up, and put it atop my mini134. Works PERFECT! (Didn't clean it) vapor and flavor were both great and the draw is perfect for me. I sure hope I have batteries in the mailbox tomorrow. Looking at my first grand for two days now and not being able to use it is cruel and unusual punishment
Depends which Grand you get - i spent 2 days looking at my copper vein one since i coated it before i ever used it.
If you bought one of those, your wait just got a day longer!
Besides, with a 1.7Ω coil you could use just about any battery from any vape shop locally and be ok safety wise. (high drain IMR blah blah).
