RM2 FULL atomizer itself rebuild (Pic heavy)

[Vapeaddikt]

Probably....It doesn't bother me. I just swap fluids puff out the blend flavor then vape away most of the time. I don't even change wicks most of the time between flavors

I do usually just plug the air hole and blow down the RM2 getting the juice out of the tube and most likely cup though while swapping bottles.

thanks good pics. i have the new rm2 i would guess its similar other than the taller neg post with 2 sets of small holes that i may take apart and drill the post out.

I'm 99% sure it is. I highly doubt the manufacturer of the original rba would have changed that much in the design aspect. Typically "innovations" are a small change requiring the least amount of actual modification to the original manufacturing process.

I'll eventually break it down for now I don't need to. But yeah to drill out the hole just remove the post get it in a vice or clamp for a press should be relatively easy once out.

It's so nice in these threads to have all the great close-up pictures - makes it so easy to understand.
Thanks!

Awesome write up, thanks!
I started to disassemble one once, chickened out... thought the parts would adapt into a Fatty Guess what I may be doing next weekend.

 

[Vapeaddikt]

Yep. It might help to add something about remembering how the pin was flush with the 510 or make sure it's flush when reinstalling it too

Edited w/ this point added Drifter thanks for the reminder

a 1/32 or a 3/64 drill bit will work

Don't forget to take photos of the process, we like to learn!

I tiptoed in quietly in the wee hours of this morning not making a sound. With swift movements and concentrated effort my eyes landed on the prized object of my search. It took only seconds to complete my quest and depart. Moments later one of your images was seen on two different threads in our REO forum.

Without knowledge you were an instrument that allowed a mystery to be solved. A picture worth a thousand words

Thank you for your contribution, you never know how a single thread might help others. Now it is easy to find!

So true...and someone like you to find it, Karen! Do you just copy the image from one thread and then paste it in your post in another thread?

I right click on the image and select "copy image location" Then go to where I want it and select "Insert Image" and then choose from URL and paste it in.

In the Photos and Descriptions thread I ask anyone that see's a pic that might be of help to add it in the thread. Sometimes I forget or miss a picture that would be very useful later.

Thank you came in handy to check on my handiwork

Great info here!

One of my posts is loose... the one closest to the squonk hole. If I tighten it all the way, the threading hole is slanted a bit towards the inside. Then again, yours appears to be as well when fully reassembled. Is this how it's supposed to be?

I think yes.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

depends on the RM2, mine are straight. the pin next to the hole is the negative pin and screw into one of the little holes in the bottom of the metal base. Some people have been successful in getting them straight by putting a little piece of coil wire in the hole and then tightening down on that.

 

[Crash Moses]

I think over time the soft brass gives a little but mine have never gotten to the point where it made building a coil difficult. I wouldn't worry too much if it's off by a smidgeon.

Bumpitybump-bumb - someone was asking about this one. Good info!
