That's a nice size, I see they also make a tilting version...the amount of times that function would've come in handy...

The vice has a v on all three sides for round stock very handy indeed
Wish I had seen that one... I just got this one in Saturday: Wilton 11620 1-1/2-Inch Precision Drill Press Vise - Jobber Drill Bits - Amazon.com
Talking to my grandpa last night, asked him if he was interested in goin in halves on a drill press- he had one in storage that's never been used! Modded an atomic for bf this morning. Now I just need a toolmakers vise 
Don't you just dig it when you find out Grandpa has a drill press in storage!...it's a peanut butter toast lands bread-side down kinda' day!
Definitely a pb upside day. Really liking the looks and vape quality of this atomic on my lp grand. Running dual 26g micros at .5 ohm
Sorry to quote myself like a pompous ......
Edited for future reference: the stock bottom hole(juice inlet) in a BF Cyclone is the same diameter as #54 drill bit, I'm going to massage it slightly with a #53 for slightly better high vg flow.
Atomics will be done with #53 with the likely hood of a#51 or #52 in the future.
The Atomic has really surpassed my expectations. Looking good 73neb! Glad to see quiqsworth so active these days you are a great source of knowledge and inspiration.
I'm basically rolling my entire RDA fleet over to the Ehpro Atomic...the quality, the adaptability (they're actually not bad running a single coil either), good diameter (this is obviously taste subjective but the chamber size imo is about perfect), super easy to build with lots of room to experiment, easy to bf (slot or drill), as far as availability goes, ebay is swimming in them, which drives the final (and most important) point...$25?...how can you go wrong?
I would get one in a minute if I could find someone to bf it for me.
I do look like the guy in my signature.

Are you my brother?? That was my plan with the new atomic order last weekend. On the very bright side there will be 6 Afc Bf Cyclones (4 of which are brand new)up for grabs if all goes well. I haven't even opened the bag that contains my Origen V2 either. All will be available very soon.
Please PM me when you decide to unload the cyclones, I'd like to get one.
As long as you don't start referring to yourself in the 3rd person it's all good
Chowderhead is confused by this... He likes to feel omnipotent. He is also a.....
They look pretty good on an LP...that'd be great if Rob offered it...it would be a good choice from just a "damn good RDA" perspective. I may be wrong, but I doubt he would though...there's 2 caveats with the Ehpro Atomic:
1. You can't sell it on the classy's if you don't like it...because it's "branded" it's viewed as counterfeit...(pfft)*,
2. What we do and what Rob can legitimately do are 2 different things. From my short experience, Rob's a pretty stand up "high road" kinda guy...how would it look if one manufacturer offered for sale a counterfeit of another manufacturer's product?...he would have to go to MCV Philippines and secured a stock of bf'd originals, of course he wouldn't have to get many (if he even could) because most of us couldn't afford it.
or...he could negate the "branding" issue by making different AFC rings to fit the Ehpro (maybe in brass, copper, solid platinum...), there you go! problem solved!
*sorry moderators, but as the boutique "high end" boys cut their own throats shorting their market to create artificial demand, eventually there won't be a whole lot left of what you'll be able to sell on the classy's with that particular rule in place...sooner or later the "off-shores" will figure that out and ditch the branding, then what?...no more 1:1's?...sorry, "soap boxing" again...man I'm bitter

Ok folks, got a couple of the Atomic clones to try out. I dont have a drill press so I will be trying the dremel/slotting method. Does the center post just press out? Should I push it out from the bottom/connector side? Also, has anyone tried simply notching the insulator on these? I've seen that done on other attys as well. The wire post holes seem really small as well, wondering how hard it would be to make those larger with the rotary tool? Finally, these both really smell like machine oil. Is there a good way to clean them off? Sorry for the barrage of questions but want to have a decent game plan before I start mucking things up.
