If you find replacement caps that don't require purchase of thousands at a time, plz let me know! Iwill do the same. Thanks!

Well - maybe.

Phenolic Cone Lined Caps 2oz (20/400) (Pack of 12): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

12 for $4.16 - free shipping. No Amazon Prime or minimum order needed.

I know for certain these fit 30 & 60 ml Boston rounds. These are referred to as a "20/400" and the 20 part is the cap diameter at 20 mm.

From what I have figured out these polyseal caps come in 3 diameters: 20 mm, 24 mm or 36 mm. These 20/400's are the only size I have found so far that you can purchase at this kind of deal. If a cap from a 30 or 60 ml bottle fits your bottles then these will work. Otherwise.

You have nooooo idea the searching I had to do to locate these. Ya know - something that wasn't in a minimum quantity of 144 pieces or more. I got these to convert some of the bazillion used 30 ml dropper bottles I have to freezer storage.

The polyseal cones look good on these. There are no gaps or problems I see like on the ones you purchased.

Guess there's not a round squonk bottle that fits the Mini REO with larger capacity eh? I'm still using the china sauce square bottles at holds 6mls but wanted to check if there's anything else out there nowdays.

Heck, for that price I'm ordering a bunch or two right now.

I got 2 packs. I've been trying to find these at a reasonable price for ages.

In regards to stocking up, I'm looking for some cheap functional RDAs that I can buy. Does anyone have any recommendations? I was looking at fasttech and didn't have much luck. I do not have any tools to convert regular RDAs to bottom feeders so any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Welp, there's the Velocity V2 clones. ~> $8.07 Velocity V2 Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping But like with a lot of things at FT it's a crap shoot - read the reviews. Most are ok, some people get a center pin that isn't drilled all the way through for bottom feeding.

These Derringer V3 clones aren't bottom feed ~> $7.70 Derringer V3 Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 304 stainless steel + POM / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping but the center post can be replaced with a bottom feed center post from Fat Daddy Vapes.

just get an rm8 if you want a bottom fed derringer fastech sells crap

Good morning Reonauts.
I wrapped a fresh coil last night for my RM2, I couldn't remember if I had done 4 or 5 wraps, (32ga. Kanthal/around an 18 ga. wire) 5 wraps ended up at 2.0 ohm, and the flavor was definitely decreased (for me) at that, so going to re-do that this a.m.
Learning curve.

I find coil height as well as airhole alignment to be of great importance with that atty. Also, I don't use much wick at all say as compared to what I was used to with Kayfuns. Keep at it!

Yes, thank you for looking out for me! I'm slowly learning all the ins and outs!
I re-wrapped it with 4 wraps, as described above, 1.5 ohm...oh yeah!! As the golfers say, "It's in the hole".

2 more KFL+ on the way from DashVapes, as of this a.m. That will make a total of 5 of those, and one KFM3.
I'm going to skip the 5, but only because I've had so many purchases already for doomsday.
I have the extras parts for the KFL+'s and the 3, so I hate to dump another bunch of $ into a different one, plus extra for parts.
Then when my order of the addt'l two RM2's get here, that will make 3 of those.
I have another 8 or so of misc. top devices (rebuildable), so I think I'm set for doomsday.
Going to have to be, cuz I'm tired of spending all this $$.
Nic and the other misc. has been in the freezer for a couple weeks now.

I do have the bug for Reo #2 Like everyone says you'll get. We'll see. Ugh.

 

[LoriP1702]

Hey there @Rat2chat2 ((((GREATBIGBEARHUGS)))) Long time no chat!!!
(I saw your "like" )

 

[Mike Geaney]

Sounds like you are onto something @LoriP1702. You are not missing anything with the KF5. Sounds like you have enough attys. Just get another REO, or two, and call it good!

Another bottle cap sighting!!!

Glass Dropper Bottles - Clear, Cobalt Blue and Amber for eLiquids Heartlandvapes Wholesale

This place has 18, 20, 24 & 28 mm poly cone caps in eaches, from 21 to 26 cents per!

BUT: They only ship UPS, and that means the minimum shipping is $8.30. For just caps even. So unless you buy other stuff there - like nic - it's pricey just for caps.

They are running a code this weekend Happy4th will get you 20% off your order.

I posted this to the Atomizer forum, but it looks a tad deserted. Since I just purchased a Reo Grand via the classifieds, I hope I'm okay asking this here:

I have a question. I've basically used the standard resistance Joye atties for years. They are what, 2.3-2.4 ohms? I purchased a few 510s from Avid of the LR 2.0 variety, and they were fine. Faced with a choice between 1.5- 1.7 ohm and 2.9 ohm atties, which might be more to my liking? I don't really want a hot vape (prefer cool-ish actually), but I want throat hit and good flavor, decent vapor (don't care about clouds).

I'd be using them on a Provari 2.5, an older VW 30 watt mod (maybe), and a Reo Grand. Vapor Kings has a choice of LR 1.5 and standard 510s and I thought I'd try some 901s, which come in either LR 1.7 and 2.9 ohms.

I've tried doing some research, and I'm just not finding information adequate for me to make a determination.

(I have purchased some RDAs including one from Reosmods, but I have never built coils before. I want to keep some atties around while I learn and for emergencies.)

I'd go with the 1.5 ohm attys over the 2.9 ohms, hands down. That won't be too hot for the REO, I'm sure. Lots of REO users go way, way down in ohms (way below even 1.0.)

I'd personally skip the 901s, or at least I wouldn't use them with my REO, because they would require an adapter for them to work on the 510 REO connection and Rob (REO) has advised against adapters. In fact, the 901s don't fit anything these days without an adapter. Just my thoughts.

Old school!

If I had to choose... on a Reo my favorite would be as close as possible to 1.8 ohm.

1.5 ohm can be a bit harsh on the unregulated battery when it's on the full charge end of things. And the 2.4 ohm stuff is too high resistance and the performance drops off too quickly as the battery voltage drops.

Of course those rules don't apply to anything you have there that's VV or VW. I found when I did use them that the 1.5 ohm Joyetechs just didn't last very long before the coil popped. For longevity I stuck with the standard 2.2 - 2.4 ohm 510's.

If you are considering 901's you will need a 510 to 901 adapter. Not sure if you can squonk a 901 even with the adapter.

For a 306 these aren't bad. ~> Super electronic cigarette atomizers, Bauway 306 atomizers, Says they are 1.5 ohm but they are typically closer to 1.7 ohm.

 

[Vandal]

In my research, I had seen a lot of posts on the pleasures of 901s for Reo, but those threads are years old. I'll steer clear of them then. That leaves 510s and 306s. Since I plan for my main mod to be the Reo, I want to plan around that.

Not sure why 2.0 atties are so uncommon. I bought Ciscos to get the 2.0 resistance, but they are a bit pricey for bulk buying. Vapor Kings is selling the 1.5 and 2.3/4s for .99 each. I do have concerns about the longevity of the 1.5s, plus worried they might be too warm for me. When I build my own coils, I'll be aiming for 2.0. Maybe 1.8 at the lowest.

I'll check out 306s, too. Thank you all for the advice.

edited to add: I'm going to add a couple of 1.6ohm 510s to an order and see how I like them.
