Excellent choice. Rob ships on Monday so you should have it probably Wednesday, maybe Thursday even here in Cali. Make sure someone is home since you need to sign for it.

Enjoy!

Thankfully the apartment complex I'm in will sign for stuff, so I should be good

So excited, but a little nervous! I'm sure all the help around here should make for an easy transition!

++however many on REO+RM2 - I came from Provaris and TaifunGT's and what a difference !
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that you may need to cut your Nic level in half with the Reo+RM2,
the Reos and attys are much harder hitting.
Congrats and enjoy
(and welcome)

Perhaps.

I run 18mg in one of my REOs with a Derringer built to .32ohm. Some folks find they need to cut their nic, others don't.

Well, tracking number sent out (on a Sunday at that!). I'm sure it will start tracking tomorrow! So excited!

Thanks for the info on he nic levels. I've cut down to 6mg and am in the process of moving to 3mg. Between my current dripper and my Erlkönigin, I already had to cut back!

I keep checking the tracking number. And it hasn't moved in 26 hours if I believe the USPS tracking. And the batteries I ordered have stalled according to tracking too!

USPS is starting to seriously frustrate me.

I had 4 items in route over the weekend all mailed at various times on Thurs and Fri. 2 from Cali, 1 from Az and 1 from NM. Once they left the destination PO nothing updated until they scanned them in Mon morning at my local PO.

I'm guessing that will happen here too. It's just very frustrating. Priority mail is supposed to have tracking, but it doesn't work most of the time.

I am a bit concerned because I almost always get a local scan when it arrives and I haven't gotten that yet. So I'm guessing it won't come tomorrow as originally stated by usps.

I had the same problem but it wasn't with vape mail. I had a package sent from Texas to Alabama. 2 days priority and was supposed to get here Saturday, it didn't end up coming til Monday. I could've drove to Texas and back twice by the time they finally got my package though. There was no tracking updates from Lubbock to here. Then it took 3 hours for the update to actually post. Like 11:30 it said 8:30 sorting was complete.

You still have a chance of getting it tomorrow though since you're in Cali they most likely flew the stuff to you unlike my stuff which seems like it was all put on a truck to be hauled.

2 months ago USPS was flawless and I never had a problem, my last 5 packages were late and 2 had the boxes torn all to hell and items missing from it.

Ya, I'm not really sure what the problem is these days. I had been having great luck until recently when everything seems to be delayed. To be fair, they haven't lost anything yet. But the "2 day Priority" has been taking up to 8 days. And I realize the two days aren't guaranteed, but come on.

It's gotten so bad for me that if I can pay extra for UPS or FedEx I usually will. And I'm cheap!

It arrived this evening! As everyone has said, it's a beautiful mod! I love the black wrinkle finish and it looks like it will take a beating, which is one of my main reasons for getting it!



Built a simple spaced coil out of 28 gauge kanthal. I've been fussing over height of the coil and have modified it since these were taken. Coil came out right at 1.2 ohms.





So far, I've gone through half a bottle of juice and I'm really enjoying it. Still need to dial in the flavor as it seems a bit muted. But that's probably my inexperience building for the RM2.

Very happy!!

I see you drilled the air hole already, that's good. For flavour you need the coil very close to the air hole, like right on it but without shorting out to the cap, and a good place to start height wise is to have the air hole smack on the center of the coil. A bit higher for more throat hit, and a bit lower for less. Nice coil you have there too.

Edit - actually I never put the center of my coils below the air hole so I don't really know what happens there, but definitely more throat hit if you raise it. Lovely rig you got there too!

This is good to know about raising it slightly for more throat hit. I usually put the cap on before I wick, and fire it to see if I can see the coil through the air holes on whichever one I'm using, cuz my eyeballs don't work good enough to just peer through an airhole, even big slots like the Odin and see the coil. But I could probably see if I get a good glow, then raise it a tad.

Hey Deb, here's an easier method, maybe. I usually sit the atty cap on the lip of the atty base and eyeball the air hole to the coil, to get the height where I want it, like in this crude pic:
