Out of all the clones, out there, the only one I had ever considered, was the Russian 91%, I would have bought one sooner, my timing was off, and were out of stock. The Indy e-cigs I bought mine at always had nothing but clones, that I did not want, until the other day, so far it works great, if the redesign the spring loaded pin, I think I would want several extra anyway. For once it was nice, to not have to pay for shipping, and waiting on the mail man!

I had no idea you got the Phidias first! Oh... nm, I remember when you got it, I was thinking REO first, I knew you had the REO's for a while:).

Ocelot... try this for building the RM2... very easy.

I use a corsage pin, but any large needle would work. Use 30 ga Kanthal. Pinch at end, do 3 wraps as close together and tight as you can. Then push together. Do 2 more. Push. 2 more. Push. I'd go 8-9 wraps. 9 should land you around 1.2 ohms. 8 gets about 1 ohm.

keeping it on the pin/needle, cut the tails about 1-1 1/2" long. Push through the holes in the posts til where you'd want the coils to be. Push the coils up, screw down. (keep pin on whole time). Then slide out the pins.

Push a small wad of cotton UNDER the coil, and you're done. juice coils, check ohms. Make sure the tails are trimmed to the post before screwing the top on. Squonk, vape:).

That's a micro/nano coil, and it's really really fast and easy to do, and a really great vape too!

The woodvil's have a completely closed juice well... it can't drip on the wood. I use a very acidic pink lemonade (made with real lemon oil), and have sanded my Woodvils to bare wood... if it leaked, I'd be in trouble. It won't leak unless you are flooding the outside juice well (not sure how you could do that even). You should try it, the woodvils vape a bit better than the REO Grand even (just got a Grand too, why wonder).

Thanks for the tips. I already built a coil for the RM2 and think I did pretty well for my fist try. This isn't quite the finished product, I unwrapped two of the coils in the picture, since I wanted a lower resistance and squeezed them together tighter. It came out to 1.3Ω.

This has not been a good week for me. Now I am looking and I see that my banner is broken. Oh my! I have a broken banner. Bad Russian 91% and broken banner. I give up.

Broken banner is ECF fault. Something about advertising having been added. ECF bowed their collective neck and said nope, no advertising.

That looks great!!! You got this:). Try it my way next time, it takes a couple of minutes, and really really easy:).

The Innokin needle can thingy? They sell those on FastTech.

ETA: Doink! Never mind. I didn't even notice the Russian came with a bottle. I use one of those all the time.

I looked it up after your post, it looks like the same one, much better than what I have been using.

The Innokin? It might be the pictures I've seen, but it looks huge. I also like to be able to see how much juice is left. It will be interesting to use the Russian. I'll have to use the ss tank, so I won't be able to see a bubble when I put it together or tell how much juice is in it. I imagine it will take some getting used to. I can usually tell when a tank is getting low just by the feel, but every device is different.

Towards the end of the signature request thread I explained why ECF banned those particular "I quit" banners.

There's a "real" black version of the Russian coming, too. Meaning, it's from the makers of the "original" Russian...
I'm torn, but I'll probably have to get one...
:unsure:

From the
I'm a bit enchanted by the solid black one Tobeco has coming out. Black PVD over stainless. It only come with one tank, but the clear tanks of the others are pointless for me to use anyway {{On my desk a bottle of my juice is whispering Feed Me...}} The solid black would look so cool on the Stealth.

There's no way to work around it, except to use the tank without the ring. But to me, it's then a tank I would not have bought.
Time zone trouble, but they replied next day - "yes, we goofed," and they'll gladly replace the tank with a version that's not quite ready that WILL fit the ProRing, or fully refund the order if I choose.

GOOD FOR THEM - Thanks VapourArt for handling it well!

I'll be swapping for the compatible tank - though I'm guessing it'll have to be thinner glass, I don't (knock on wood, but gently) have a history of breaking my glass tanks...



I feel your pain. Doesn't anybody test this stuff before they sell it to us? I must expect too much from top of the line companies. Did you find a work around?

That looks very nice. I even bookmarked that link. :) I want to nab one of the gold ones they are coming out with and pair it with the gold ZenKote ProVari. :drool:
One can dream. :D

I saw a gold Kayfun in my hunting, but it don't recall where. I can look for it if you'd like.


ETA: I found it again. The Russian looks matte to me. The gold Kayfun looks more "Zenkote-ish."
