Hey guys,

I want to convert my atomic rda to fit my reo. I checked out the video on page one but there is no way I let myself do that to my $100 rda. There is a 98% chance I mess it up and that is just too high.

I found a shop and a guy that could do it for me in Atlanta but he will probably need instructions from me.

So now with an atomic should he still go with the drill but trough the post on the deck? Is there anything else I should tell him? And could some once again confirm the still bit size for me?

Thank you guys so much.

SuperX for local support you should do it for me lol. Just picked it up from vaperite and Dan over there said you could do this for me.





just kidding he didn't say that but you should still help me out lol

I'm quite possibly the last person on earth that you'd want to do it :) trust me.

And I'm prolly the last person on earth Vaperite would ever recommend. I went in there 3 times and each time I was pretty much ignored cause I had a killer REO not some tubesteak on a lanyard around my neck and in need of a tankful of juice.

Besides, the steady stream of all those "I need 5ml of juice" or "this tubesteak (that is worth $18 but they paid $95 for) isn't working anymore" marks needed to be tended to.

Come on man. They've gotta sell their vivi novas, vision spinners, twists and juice. They can't be bothered to fraternize with experienced vapers :)

Oh my god I just laughed so hard. Ok looks like we both suck at vape handy work lol. Can't agree with you more. Everyone in there has one of those lanyards or guy vape purse. Honestly, there were 2 guys playing sub ohm king in the corner and tried to do some cloud chasing or whatever it's called and no joke I get a better more thick vapor out of my reo at 1.4ohm.

However, the guy I spoke to actually talked about a friend he has that only uses a reo and he drills out every rda possible to only fit his beloved reo. That was nice to hear.

Just love walking through the store and seeing ego kits for $60, provari $219 (lol) and mainly everything with a 40% mark up.

I did however get my atomic for $100 which I believe is quite fair.

Are you like some supereoman or what? Everytime I have trouble you jump right in. Thanks buddy but I hope the new drill way doesn't get even more tricky.

It sounds so easy "drill a straight hole man" but than again it ain't that easy for donkey Ben here.




I would suggest you read the entire thread as there in a new way to drill these. Someone, (forget who), drilled up through the insulators on both sides of the post. There was no need to actually drill the post. I think it was talked about on pg4.

Until things don't work! ;)

But then i can see why a guy with a Reo and a Chalice that vapes unflavoured might be a bad prospect - unless you were buying batteries!

I'll leave out 15 videos and 5 stickies until they know you better :laugh:

I'm kinda shutting down the mod shop for the spring/summer, just cleaning up some little projects...(when you live/play in the Pacific Northwest you take advantage of EVERY hour of sunshine), but from what I've read the real mccoy Atomic and the Ehpro clone is about as 1:1 as it gets, everything is inter-changeable, so I don't think I'd have an issue doing a real one...

I do have a couple EP Atomics coming for this weekend, I was going to do the HildiQuigs insulator drill on one and vid it, if it works out, and it should, it'll be a super simple, zero stress/take nothing apart method, everyone should be able to do there own (and not just Atomics)

This thread is full of WIN!

Now I know enough to be dangerous, MWAAHAHAHA!
Looking forward to quig's insulator video!

It was invaluable to me as I get ready to buy my first LP (an SL).

One Problem: I spent all the money for the SL/LP on drill bits, clones etc!:(

THanks to all the experienced gurus who posted advice here and the modding newbs who asked questions that I didn't have to!

Sounds like a challenge?

I'll bf my next RDA with a glob of putty, a pair of pliers, a lit candle and a good sized darning needle...with one hand

edit:..on 2nd thought I'm going to hedge my bet and insert the word "try"

... curious Mama.. are you down a wing? ... if so, and I manage to not make a mess of this...we should rename it the "Mama Method"... or are you going to expect a fortune in naming rights?

Hey Quigs, what size drill bit are you using to BF the Atomic? Have you tried drilling through the insulator yet? I think that's how I will do the one that is in transit to me. Picked it up last night on Ebay for $19.99 and it is an EhPro also. I sent a pm to Hildicat but haven't heard anything as yet...

That's what I did see post #97.
