I feel this was covered before but my searches aren't finding it. What is the air hole size on the Reomizer 2.0. I tried to do a rough measurement on mine and it looked like 1.5 mm. Is this correct?

Also are you leaving it stock or modifying it? This is my first rba so I've left it stock because I don't know all of the trade-offs (other than draw resistance). Has anyone changed it and if so why?

It seems that the most common diameter that people open the air hole on an rba is 1/16th. Certainly very common on REA/Hornet.

I got to try a couple RM2's at the meet in Ardmore and my only complaint with them was the draw, I prefer a very airy draw. When I get off my lazy .... and order one opening it up to 1/16th will be the order of the day.

Note: The larger hole also produces more vapor.

This place always has the answers. I like the draw on the Reomizer 2.0 so I wanted to know what it was for reference.

Since lots of places list air holes in mm by my math
3/64" is about 1.2mm
1/16" is about 1.6mm
5/64" is about 2.0mm

Wow, I am getting a used TF Hornet as part of a trade and just found out it has a 2mm air hole. :?: That is going to be super airy.

Since Jack corrupted me by sending me an atty that was bored out to 1/16, I have found that all my attys now have to be bored out to 1/16. Thanks Jack.

The good news is that the RM2 is very easy to bore.

Two of my other attys were a biaatch to bore.


Wow, increasing the diameter by 1/64th of an inch really makes a noticeable difference in vapor production?

I may need to consider this....

Not sure if it makes a difference in VP, but does make a difference in the draw. Once you go 1/16, you can never go back :). In formula 1 racing, 100ths of a second is sometimes the difference in lap times between the top drivers. Could be the difference between starting on pole or not :).

Cool, that makes me almost as outwardly visibly excited as Kimi! :lol:

Leave Kimi alone. He knows what he's doing :)
And Please, no info on the Spanish GP. I Dvr'd it and am watching it now. My man Fernando is in the lead :)

Since we're talking sports, HOW ABOUT THEM BRUINS last night! Came from down 3 goals with 10 mins left in the third period to win (and send the leafs packing) in OT :)

Life is good (at the moment)

Gotta be smaller than 2mm! I drilled mine out to 1/16 and now find it too airy for me.
