RM2 Air hole position

[Vapolith]

Received my glorious 2nd and 3rd RM2s yesterday. Coiled and wicked one, screwed it on the Reo, and the air hole is facing me when it's tightened, my first RM2 has the air hole opposite the firing button, which is perfect. With the air hole facing me, I have to be careful not to tilt the Reo towards me too much when hitting it, and the vape isn't quite as good as the other. (which could be because of the coil or the wick, I know. )

Any suggestions?

With the o-ring in place I was able to screw the entire contraption to have the air hole where I wanted.

I have two suggestions.
I fire my Reo with my index finger. Place your thumb on the side (narrow side) of the Reo facing you when you vape. Your thumb will be pointing up. You have three fingers holding on the other side. Use your index finger to fire the Reo. Doing it this way you can have the air hole facing away or towards the firing button because the Reo can be fired comfortably with it oriented either way. I have my air hole facing the firing button but when I vape the air hole is up and the fire button is away me.

Second way. Place the O ring in the catchcup around the connector. Start screwing the rm2 down. Hold the Reo near your ear and hold the firing button down as you screw down the rm2. When you hear the atomizer sizzle you know you have the minimum connection to fire the atomizer. Now continue to screw it down to where you want the air hole to be.

First make sure you did not switch caps with bottoms. Each rm2 cap is individualised to its bottom. If not the problem, what I did was to take an extra o ring and stretched it around the copper coloured bottom thinner part of bottom. With the other o ring in the catchcup that solved my problem.

You could also try a o-ring around the threads for the cap, not the connector o-ring. That will give you some play in the cap positioning and still be a good seal.

I have the o-ring in place, that was the first thing I checked, since I dropped the o-ring from my first RM2, and the air hole ended up in the wrong place until I found the o-ring.

Thanks! I'll give those a try!

Thanks! I learned that each RM2 was a unique snowflake early on, so I won't mix them up. I have extra o-rings, so I may give that a try.

That's a good idea too! Thanks!

That's a good idea too! Thanks!

Plus it looks better with oring at base so no gap between bottom of RM2 and catch cup on REO.
Just got an oring from home depot, stretched it to fit the base and voila. nice finished look!

What size o-ring did you buy?

Thanks!

What size o-ring did you buy?

I'm using the same one that sits inside the cap on the bottle for the grand (3/8" I.D. - 1/2" O.D. - 1/16" W Buna-N 70 O-Ring.

I think I ordered like, 100 of them? From HERE

Thanks! I just did the same.

I actually managed to get the air hole where I wanted it without adding any extra o-rings. I unscrewed the RM2, and then screwed it back down, and found that I hadn't tightened it all the way before. It's perfect now.

Really appreciate everybody's help!
