in large part, to Papa_L's incessant nattering about how good they are

Note, however, that I endorse the dual RM3 version - haven't played with the single coil version much at all, however Rob himself pronounced it a "flavor machine".

When I ordered my LP grand, I just ordered the RM5. I just joined this forum a few days ago, but it seems to me like mostly everyone's rocking the RM2 or RM3. I don't know how long the RM5 has been available, but I gotta tell you it's amazing. I use mine with the air flow ring all the way open, I've ran .2 ohm dual coils in it with out any issues. My batteries take a beating when I do that, but that's about it. The flavor is top notch and it hits like a freight train, especially with the low sub ohm builds. I recently had .25 ohm dual stove top coils in it, it was a hot vape, hit hard, but the flavor was the best I've had. Anyway, this is my opinion and I'm sure you all have yours, but I do think it's worth it to give it a try.

I've got a video firing the stove tops that's pretty cool, but photobucket isn't being friendly right now. Once I get the video uploaded I'll post it.
I got the idea from a guy on YouTube, he's pretty obnoxious but has a lot of good advice...he goes by rip trippers on YouTube. I saw the review of the coil and really wanted to try it out so I did. I found that the easiest way to build those is with a handy jig I made. I'm in the military and was able to get my hands on a 30MM shell used in the gun of the Blackhawk helicopters we have. Anyway, I drilled out the primer and I just took my 5/64 drill bit (craftsman bit with the hexagonal end on it) and shoved it in the bottom of the shell to hold in place. I used 24ga kanthal for the wire, wrap the wire around the bit like you would a micro coil for the first wrap, then for the second, third, and fourth wraps instead of wrapping next to the previous, just overlap all of them. This can be tricky, that's why I built the jig...the shell serves as a handle and the bottom serves as a flat base so I can wrap the wire on top of the previous wrap. Once your done with the coil and lock it into place, fire it like you would the micro coil and take your tweezers and pinch the coil flat and keep working at it until it glows red from the inside out. As far as wicking goes, I just took a strand of rayon and placed it over the top first and sorta wrapped the wick around it and tucked what was left under the coil near the feed hole. The second coil is done exactly the same as the first. Then make sure you have gold contacts and strong batteries, I use Sony VTC5's. If your interested in trying the coil, I advise watching the video on YouTube, search rip trippers stove top coil, if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I must warn you, it's a really hot vape, after a few hits my atty is a little warm. Those coils vaporize juice almost as soon as you push the button. With that, your going to run thru some juice keeping the wick wet. The pay off though....it's definitely the flavor produced from the coil, by far the best flavor I've had so far, the amount of vapor is impressive too. You can chunk some nice big clouds, give it a try.

Lol, they look like doughnuts, but their called stove top coils. Remember the old school electric stove top burners....that's what they look like when your done making them.

If your running a LP mod, try the reomizer 5. I haven't tried anything else except for a Reomizer 2 and Cyclone, and the 5 blows both of them out of the water hands down.

I have 6 bottom-feeders(what?how did that happen?they must be breeding,cause they keep multipling.I must get control!)4 of them have Igo-s/bf toppers and the other 2 have RM2s.The Igos are my favs.Love these little buggers.
Will do, Rattler. I'm excited.. I have liked the RM2s so much that I've really just been cruising in my happy spot. It'll be fun to try something new besides drip tips.
The beauty of all the choice is you find the perfect RBA for you. I'll agree the flavor is outstanding but what you love I hate. I like screw on tops. The air hole is in the same place every time, the top never comes off in my pocket, bag or when I pick up the mod by the cap.
I don't move my coil to the air hole after mounting, I build the coil to be at the air hole before mounting.

How true. The gripe i have with the igo w is the seemingly inferior quality (compared to the other rm) and the tiny airholes. After ive drilled them out, they are way better.
Must agree that the rm5's pretty good too. But has a look you either love or hate.
I just received my Igo and think I'll really like it once I get the build down. I actually like the tighter draw but right now I'm getting flooding and every other vape tastes burnt. The coil is pretty low to the base and one end of my cotton is completely saturated so not sure what the problem is.
I am thinking maybe the wick is too dense, or when you squonk, you aren't fully immersing the coil. Cotton holds well, but doesn't do "up" very well, especially when compressed.
On the different strokes for different folks topic, I find the little attys like the Igo s give great flavor to the sweet side of juices, but tend to cutoff the darker flavors, like cocoa or dark tobacco.

Pics always help, but make sure your coil is centered in line with the air hole and as close to it without shorting out so air can flow under/over the coil for optimal performance...
I picked up one of these for my inbound REO. Thanks for all the comments and recommendations. I have a particular juice flavor that this mod and atty will be dedicated too. It's my ADV.
Trunker,
After reading your comment I asked Robert to drill out the airhole for me before shipping. A big thanks for the heads up/reminder that this was SS and saving me the trouble of having to drill it out on my own.

Getting really frustrated....I'm getting a reading on my ohm meter but my coil wont fire.
Is it making a connection in the 510 (i.e., screwing in far enough)?
A pic of it on the reo might help.

Are you using a button cover? does the center pin on the 510 connection of the RBA slightly protrude?
