The standard cap looks like it will be a bit shorter than the Divo, the standard cap comes up of the wide part of the AFC cap. I just order a Divo from Indyvapors but they are not the fastest shippers, so I probably won't get it until next week.
So, I want a Cyclone.

Thanks everyone, this has been great so far!
I am honestly leading more towards the Divo then the Cyclone now. Getting a LP Grand and or sending mine in for that currently is not an option.
I just love how the deck is designed, finding out about that wrong diameter on the site is great...reoville ...!
Wish it was ceramic like the RM2, every rba should be to be honest and or not conductive, just the posts. There is no reason otherwise!
Anyone have a pic of the RM2/Cylcone/Divo side by side? super.....?

I found I really like that VA shorty drip tip on the cyclone, both standard and AFC, it keeps the vape chamber smaller than the fusion drip tip which I think results in a slight improvement in flavor. Especially on the AFC cap where the chamber is slightly taller.
I really like the AFC running single coil. Also, being able to close it off when I put it in my pocket is a nice side benefit. I also like big air with my sub ohm builds and not having to drill the cap.

I don't have a non afc cyclone but the cyclone with afc is a tall chamber so I really like it with duals and not so much with a single. I'm sure a chamber plug on the one side can make a single coil afc setup work as sweet as an rm2. that really shouldn't be too hard to do. I never bothered because I love the duals with afc
I don't like the vicious driptip setup although I'm only judging that by pictures, I don't have one to say for sure. I did find the perfect driptip for my cyclone though. it matches the shape really well and it's got dual o-rings and fits really tight. when it's in there I can pick up my mod by the driptip with no worries, even on a very heavy mod. what I do sometimes is vary the air draw as I vape. I just hold the driptip in my teeth and rotate the mod slightly as I vape. turn clockwise for more flow, counter for less...
I also found the perfect driptip for my divo, also matches it well, same tight fit, same vendor. got them both from intaste I think... or was it digital steam? one of those 2
here are my 3 main bottom feeders I rotae daily. the only reason I don't have a cyclone with duals on the vinci in the middle is that the ring below it has to come off for every battery change and with the smaller divo I don't have to remove the atty cap at all, it can unscrew and slide right over it. that and its a little wimpy in the power delivery department and juice capacity is only 3ml so single coil at above one ohm works best in that mod. I don't use it nearly as much as the cyclone dual heavy hitters, most times it just sits but I use them all daily to make sure there all ready to go at least
the good driptips I'm talking about are the left and center ones. the one on the reo in this shot is also a good match, it's titanium, only problem with it is one o-ring that's just tiny and not tight enough at all. it was a cheaper tip though. I just switch the good tip to whichever mod I'm using that day until I get another one

No the divos are smaller - like a hornet. It even looks like a hornet. My hornets fit on mini 2.0s. They'd definitely fit a grand.
I found that the hornets heated up whereas the cyclones do not. RBAs that heat up vape inconsistently when ya chain vape
Welcome to my life. Damn kayfun lites get hot on me after less than ten puffs. And don't forget the heat muting flavor. I hope the rm2 chamber does it for me. I'll be finding out tomorrow! Yeeeeuh.

I think my coil is similar to yours SxD 1-1.5ohm with 28awg. Do you have an rm2 and does it get hot with chain vapes? If it does then it looks like I need to order a cyclone!
This thread is a good read thanks for all the info everybody!

also heres a good tip on using the cyclone afc. it's pretty snug and doesn't usually go around wildly changing position on it's own but it can happen from time to time. when it does it can be a pain to re orient it to line up the holes correctly again
what I did was line up both slot openings, then with my dremel I made a nice deep slit exactly in the middle between them, at what I'll call the 12 o clock position of my mod. this notch is in the ring that the dritip fits into so it follows the inner cylinder now if I ever question orientation I can tell right away and easily get back to baseline centered. from there I can turn it slightly towards 11 o clock to choke it down a bit from wide open. it's like an indicator for position of the air openings... before this it was a pita to realign the airholes.
if I wanted to run it at the slotted opening for a single coil on the left then my notch would need to be at 8 o clock, 10 o clock for the single hole for the single coil , etc.. a notch as a reference point is one mod every afc user should do, only way to realign without even looking
heres the notch, right at the edge of the o ring groove
oh and you can put an afc cyclone on an unmilled reo. you could use a 510-510 adapter, order a few different sizes and see which fits the space best. or you could just break out the file/sander/grinder/bandsaw/dremel and just shave the damn thing clean it up with some sandpaper, maybe touch it up to match your color or just polish that face, looks ok with the atty on really

My man, the RM2 does not heat up at all. It is a spectacular RBA. It would be all I use for the most part if I didn't develop a brass sensitivity.
It's gonna be game on for you with the squeezebox and RM2. Game changer setup there for sure.
So...I could run a Cyclone + AFC Top Cap on my UNMILLED Grand if I used a 510-510 adapter? Would I be able to squonk through the adapter? Would it even fit, or would it look too dumb?

My man, the prophet or Reo, I hate to tell you but you are mistaken... or I have a problem... lol... the RM2 will heat up... eventually.
It is not quick, its after a good 10 to 15 hits or so but it gets some good warmth... not like its gonna burn me but you can touch it and know its HOT...
its actually my ok time to calm down warning whenever i get carried away though so i like it...
and we are talking 10 to 15 like 7+ second pulls... i can get a little carried away sometimes...
Any one seen a gold cyclone AFC around?
Drilling out a TF cyclone is just drilling down the + post, and then drilling a hole in the post above the deck right?
Edit: Found one for $90 would look great on a wood mod.

the drip well of the reo is not that deep, what is it, maybe 15mm or so? with a 510-510 adapter the cyclone will sit on top of the dripwell and be slightly taller than a milled one but really it wouldn't look all that much different, just ~15mm taller, still shorter than a standard VV grand with an rm2
the 510-510's will have a hole through the center pin and of course it will squonk as usual, the only slight complication will be to get an oring under the cyclone to seal up so it doesn't leak at the base. all BF rda's will need an o ring anyway, just the 510-510 in the deep well might make finding the right o ring setup a little more tricky than just slapping a tiny one on and go but shouldn't be all that complicated either as long as you don't use a 510-510 that's so long that it's raising the atty well above the base, sealing would then be the issue, and of course at that point it would really look dumb too..
don't get me wrong, milled looks better for sure and saves that extra 15mm in height but the cyclone won't look horrible raised up above the dripwell
I've seen someone here use a cyclone afc on there cyclone in a reo without a 510 and they just had the cap sitting higher instead of the whole atty. they claimed it only grabbed one o ring instead of both but that it was ok. the problem with doing that is that will make for an even larger resulting internal chamber though which is counterproductive to vape quality. the reason I mention this is if you search the reo forum for some of the earlier posts about the cyclone you will probably be able to find a picture and see exactly what it will look like as it will lok the same with the 510-510 adapter.
also if you want to dig in for a little more info then check out the big thread for the Vmod converting it to a BF rda. what needs to be done on the Vmod is exactly the same as you'd have to do here which is raise the 510 base with an adapter but there you may find other info like different sizes of extenders and stuff. 510-510's are usually available in a few different lengths and there cheap so I'd recommend getting all the sizes and trying which works best but yeah, def doable
Thanks Tubocad!
So, with the 510 to 510 adapter, it'll squonk OK, it'll make connection and I won't have a huge gap between my Reo and the Cyclone and I'll just have to find an o-ring that works.

yeah, that about sums it up, as long as the adapter isn't too long that it raises the cyclone above the deck, but they come in a small variety of lengths I'm sure one of them should work out well enough
Thanks man!
I'm gonna pick up the 510 to 510 adapter /w open post from Avid Vapor in a bit. Along with a new cisco 306 LR atty for testing my new DIY stuff!
Maybe my girlfriend won't notice if I buy a Cyclone.....

one last thing is it may be possible that you may need more than one o ring, might need a few o rings to "fill up" the gap of the well. I had to do that on the Vmod. you can also once you get the right length 510-510, just screw it down and fill around it with silicone flush to the top and let it cure like 2 days or so before touching it. that would actually make it's own seal and wind up pretty much casting your own fat gasket ring. silicone won't stick permanently and it will be removable when the time comes. actually once it's fully cured you could probably remove it and reinstall it like a big fat deep o ring. just another alternative possibility to consider if it's at all possible to put the reo down for like 2 days for it to cure, otherwise I'm sure the right o ring combo would do just as well...
