Yes, yes it is. I'm a visual person and your avie has me in fits! It's already shipped and on its way. Just worried about having to drill holes, not sure that is something I can do. Can't stand a tight draw...that's why I gave up on the ERA/hornets.

I drilled mine to 1/16th. Just go slow with the drill, and you should be fine. I didn't use anything special, just a regular drill bit and no lubrication or cooling needed.

Thanks. When I first screwed in the Igo, I found it strange that it didn't screw in tight. What I mean is that I can keep screwing it and it won't stop turning. I think that this must be the problem. On the website, it says that the atty works on all Woodvils made in 2014. I guess I'll have to send it back.

the igo-s does not have a threaded cap. you should leave the cap off, screw in the bottom, then press the cap on. the cap is held by o-rings, not threads like the rm2

:facepalm: I didn't even think of that Mama, and I have an Igo-S or two on hand. I hope that's what the issue is.

Are you going to change your avatar back to the Woody Allen one, just feels a lot safer round here with the old one ;)

no worries. after i got my igo, i knocked my reo over on the desk. picked it up, vaped, and didn't get a hit. then i noticed the atty was crooked. i forgot it was the igo, not the rm2, so i mucked with it thinking i was fixing the 510 connection. i ended up destroying the coil. i haven't had the heart to wrap another one :facepalm:

the woody allen avatar went better with my original username which was dwallen. my current avatar is kind of an inside joke in the Lounge :)

Thanks for the info.
I don't know why I'm scared of this. I've drilled holes into concrete (and then put in my new toilet) and I've used a drill plenty of times for wood. Just never drilled through metal. Do I need to find a vice grip to hold on to the atty, or just hold it in my hand?
:facepalm: Sorry if that's a dumb question.

Hand was fine for me. I'd be concerned about bending it out of round using tools to hold it.

To be honest Jen you don't even need a drill you could do it with your fingers. Drill is easier just be careful and don't press too hard and muck up the threads on the other side of the Air hole. Just try not to kick yourself too hard for not having done this before.

I don't know if this'll work with the SS of the divo. I will say that while you're drilling, patience and slow drilling is key. Going too fast with ss may make your job harder, because the heat from drilling fast can strengthen the ss.

Definitely worth doing, as the divo is my current fav atty, but also worth doing right. Post pics when you do it.

I bought an A7 two weeks ago. Looks like the design has changed from what it was when these were first reported. It's pretty much bottom feeding ready out of the box. Well after a really good cleaning to remove the machine oil coating it. None of the wiggly center pin issues of the original. The mini A7 works nice on my original 14500 mini Reo, again without issues. Provided I remember, I'll post where I bought the pair.

Don't rule out the tapered diamond Dremel bit. It goes through stainless like butter and you can make several stops on your way to the perfect hole size. It's also good for taking the burrs out of the other side of the hole. I've drilled 5 caps with mine so far and it's still good to go.

This one!

I've got a Q about the RM2. Whenever I squonk, I almost always have to unscrew the RM2 and mop up some excess juice in the area the atty screws into with a Q-tip. Then I take a paper towel and place it under the RM2 to absorb more excess juice. I do this pretty much every time I squonk. I've tried using less pressure to squonk as well as using more cotton for the wick. Does this happen for everyone? Maybe I just need to use a lot of cotton, but in the videos I've seen, it seems like people don't use much cotton at all.

Do you have an oring under your RM2? It sounds like you don't =)
