You are comparing apples to oranges. Compare a Dripper Cyclone to a BF Cyclone, some places they are the same price others $5 more for the BF. Compare one of them to the Cyclone Clone, like you are with the ERA and you'll find what you do with any Original vs Clone comparison.

Do they have any clone bottom feeders yet?

The Mini A7 is a very close clone to a German Surface. And about a $50 price difference. All parts are interchangeable except the bigger screw heads for A7 don't fit inside the thicker walled Surface cap and will short when they touch inside cap wall. A7 top cap is thinner walled and has a beveled top. Surface SS may be higher quality but I don't know about that although I have both.

How does the A6s fit? I remember reading a back awhile the A7's were problematic.

Surface and their clone A7 Mini fit all metal REOs back to the first and all of my smallest Woodvil Catchcups, a bunch of Mini Woodvils. The A7 Mini I'm using right now has a pretty stable center post. I have several but don't remember how they varied. One thing is the Mini center post weren't as wobbly as the Standard A7.

{I'm going to be off loading a bunch of new, unused A7 and A7 Mini via a REOnaut friend. I just need to grab some time to gather them up and send off. Not sure when thst will be.}

I have one and i love it, in all its brassy glory. I just wanted to see what cheap rbas i could put on the grand for style options. Also for different wick configurations and flavor rotation.


It has 510 threading so it should work. Of course just for dripping since it does not have the hole in the bottom for feeding from the REO.

You can mod most of those cheap china things into working, as long as they fit into the catch cup of the REO. Just find a way to drill or file a slit or hole into the positive post or insulator and it will basically work.

But honestly, just get another good atomizer, like a Cyclone, Hornet, or Reomizer 2.

For those of you who want Anodized Aluminum caps for ERAs I got this and the cap fits great on ERA. I haven't checked to see how moddable it is for BF. You can probably locate these other places for more colors. It's the Smoktech Mini rda. SmokTech Mini RDA - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

Any new RBA for the Reo? Looking to try something other then the Reomizer because they are out of extra screws and I keep losing them.

If stock on the RM2 screws shows out of stock then send a PM to Robert. He usually just needs to update the site.
