SL Reo Grand

[Ian444]

I differ from most people here in that I like the polished look, and I don't mind fingerprints and minor scratches. It still looks polished overall, and holds the look well. Its made of an aircraft grade aluminum, not soft commercial aluminum, so that helps too. I used 800 or 1000 wet and dry on my mini rta, then 1600 grit, then Autosol. Didn't take long, I haven't polished it since, it seems fine. I only did the door and the back so I could compare it over time to the rest of the mod.

That looks sweet.

I polished the door on the reo my wife got me as a wedding gift. I like the contrast with the polished door and the tumbled raw body.

Pics are somewhere in family photos. Dont have them on my ipad to repost.

that just looks wrong, get little to excited?

I would thing a polishing with Mothers Mag cleaner would take care of that.

Looks like you had a Squonkgasm!!!

Yeah. MMP is the poo for this aluminum. Quick rub w/ a microfiber cloth and that spunk stain would be history!

Holy REO!

Time to BF drill some other toppers.

I actually like the all brass stepped look of the milled rm2 on a lp/sl mod. It gives it even more of an industrial feel with the extra lines and angles.

Addit... What is the little black bubble thing in the squonk hole?

Maybe it was excited to have it's picture taken! LOL!

It's my squonk pad I've used several pad things in the hole but that one is a piece of Thera Band black tubing cut in half (nicest feel so far). The milled and stripped to brass RM2 was the only BF modified topper handy with a coil to give it a first run.

Could you take a pic from another angle? Im curious how you have it in there. Please explain its purpose? I get the pad part, but why?

I believe for the same reason some folks loved the plunger on my older mods to make pushing the bottle easier

 

[TyCreek]

It is held there by the flex around the bottle and catching on the edges of the window. Easy to pop into place. Why? Well to make squonking easier. Takes less pressure and makes the press much softer on the fingertips. My MM coils like complete saturation and I find thick juice takes more effort.

Here's another pad

Also keeps the door snug

nice! Now that I've switched to 80-20 vg/pg. I could use that. Going to go rummaging around. Probably don't have anything.

 

[Xobeloot]

I like it! Agreed mr denko! I vape 100% vg.

I guess i was a bit confused as the theraband we use in my clinic is just a flat sheet, i didn't think of tubing. I may have to try this out.

Thank you for the additional info. I know my questions were rather derpy!
