Reaming the holes I understand, I just can't stop wondering what RM2 is a euphemism for.....

This UNtech needs a picture tutorial, Eddie. Does the SS wick have to go round, can't it also just be a short little one? Sorry, know nothing about SS wicks, but prepared to learn.

Tomorrow at work I may try my hand at drilling out the post to make it the same as the other, my question is what is the larger size hole in diameter?
If you aren't familiar with SS please have a meter. It's easy to get a short. Happy to post pictures. The rm2 recessed feed hole lets liquid into the feed tube when you drip so I used the tip of a pipette to raise it to prevent back feed.
I did that after these pictures
With the raised feed hole
Matthee, have you ever used SS in anything else? I wouldn't make this the first... it's tricky...

Idk but can you find out by putting something in the big hole to measure it? Like if it fits then that is the right size.
Lol That's an understatement! I was short central when working with SS mesh. lol I'm not even brave enough to try it on my REO's!
If you oxidize properly you'll be fine. I roll solid and as tight as I can with focus on the inner initial roll. I'll roll just that initial 5mm as until it's solid. If you don't get that right and tight then you won't be able to get a solid wick.
If I'm making a bend I get the shape I want, hold the shape in pliers and heat the bend. Then it holds shape.
I then heat the entire wick with a torch until red hot through and right into water. At least 3 times. Heat to dry. Then place e liquid on it and ignite and let burn off. 3 times again. Let cool and do your thing. Always wrap SSa little tight. Want the coils snug... Meter,Test, shift coils towards hot spots if any.. enjoy..
The bending occasionally causes the outer edge of the wick to loosen up.
I'll probably do another wick soon. Would like it sitting closer to the outer edge by the air inlet. Still performing well. There's always better..

How hard is it to adjust the orientation of one of the holes - e.g. to twist the longer pole with the tiny hole. I don't want to break the thing off, but the left hole is pointing around 7 o'clock and the hole on the right is almost facing into the rim of the base. It's kind of ridiculous to have to run that much extra wire to go around the corner and stick into the hole. It takes the last wrap way out of place and gets in the way of the wick.
You can get a little adjustment from it. Just don't twist too hard. If you have a little Allen key or drill bit to fit in the hole it will work.
It's the one with the miniature pinprick hole. There is nothing that would fit in there that would provide enough torque to move it at all. A piece of Kanthal barely fits. I also want to move it around 40 degrees. It's currently going into the rim of the atomizer cup.
What about running the wire through from the middle towards the outside instead of the normal way? Would have to be really careful with the tails though to keep from shorting. It's that or mark the right spot remove the post and just drill a new hole entirely.
