And it's GEORGEOUS. Pictures do not do the metallic red finish justice, that's for sure. I opened the box exactly 9 minutes ago. I wrapped my standard 1 ohm microcoil with 28 ga, rolled some cotton, filled it up, and this is what happened:

Needless to say, I'm a VERY, VERY happy camper. I think I'll stick around this time.

Nice to meet you too, Russ, I'm Brandon, by the way. I dig your videos and tips. In fact, it was your micro coil setup threads that got me started doing that on my kayfuns. I've got it down now to the point I can crank out perfect micros in minutes flat. So easy when you get the hang of it!

One question: I switch flavors a lot, and I do know some flavors 'hang around' longer than others. The tube seems to be the component that hangs on longest, right? Any tips on the best method to flush it out? Should I just pick up some spare tubes and dedicate each to a 'family' of flavors, or is there a good way to clean them out?

Hi, jazzguy, I'm Jan. You should just pick up a couple more REOs and dedicate a REO to each flavor family. That's much easier than changing tubes out all the time.

All kidding aside, the tubes are not all that easy to just be changing out all the time. For one thing, there's a little drop of super glue way up at the top under the delrin cover. You can pull them off, and you can probably slide them back on, but it's not all that easy. I'd think it might be easier to keep a bottle of vodka or everclear around to shoot down through the tube with a syringe when you change flavor families.

^^^I've been wondering about that also. I just know one of the REO wizards around here has a trick.

I was having the same problem when I would switch between 24 mg nic base and 24 mg nic base. It got even more exacerbated when I put my AD&NV 24 mg nic base in there. I was going absolutely out of my tree with frustration :)

My bad, but all I run is unflavored so I can offer little help with these types of dilemmas :) :) :)
