Woodvil drip cup dimensions

[rudy4653]

Okay.... I did a quick check using one milled down RM2 on Woodvils. The milled down was just enough for Anodized Mini 1.0 and not with any Woodvil catchcups considered. RM2 could probably be milled down more for some catchcups that are just slightly too tight or catchcups perhaps reamed out a hair. Or even some catchcups lowered in height (chopped down). The main issue in fitting is the OD where the RM2 base starts.

Several of my Woodvils are 801 atty attachments so don't count. Most of those are going in for sex change and will either have CC change or RM2s milled down to fit.

One 18650 Woodvil has collapsed spring so couldn't test.

Nine (9) Mini Woodvils (14500), all of them, won't take the milled down for metal Mini 1.0.

Two (2) 18490 Woodvil CCs won't take the same RM2.

Three (3) Grand Woodvils 18650 won't take same RM2.

Two (2) VV Woodvils won't take the same RM2.

Two VV Woodvils, one Grand and two 18490 are 801 so can't test.

My counts could be off. And I'm not counting original Woodies that are 801.

So left and for sure taking the same RM2 are one 18490, four 18650, and two VV Woodvils.

The two 510 VV Woodvils that will not take the same RM2 is proof that the RM2 may fit most VVWs but not all for certain.

So I'm confused enough. How bout everyone else?

With a whole FOREST worth of Woodvils I can see how you can get confused!!!

The RM2 will fit the mini 14500 if you specifically ask to have it milled from Rob.
I haveon mine and they work great!

The special request milled down will fit the metal Mini 14500 but unlikely to fit many 14500 brass catchcups on smaller Woodvils and many others. Playing with a bunch of Woodvils through the night I did match up one of five milled down, for metal Mini 14500, that fit and fired in only one of nine Mini Woodvils. I reported earlier that the milled RM2 I was trying on all of my 510 14500 Woodvils did not work on any Mini Woodvils. I had not tried the two I just got back from REO, having been milled down. So one does fit one Mini Woodvil. It's hardly likely that many people will be able to use RM2 on Mini Woodvils unless RM2 base and cap OD reduced more than typical milling down or replacement of CC or adjustment of CC ID. I'll be talking with Robert about how much he can take off of OD of RM2 without making the cap too thin. If I had only one or two Mini Woodvils sending them up for larger CCs wouldn't be an issue other than being nervous the whole time it was in transit.

If you are building your mod, wouldn't it just be best to use the RM2 for your measurements? Make your drip well a size to fit. It doesn't matter if it is a replica of a wood REO. In fact probably better if it is not in my opinion.

Yeah, i'm backpeddling a bit. I have an idea in my head that will utilize a rm2 but not the drip cup. I ordered the rm2 for this project as well as one milled for the 14500.

Thanks for all the input. Found a couple cool burlwood blanks that I am considering.

Rob - watch out for patent infridgements!!!!

At one time and still with most attys and cartos CCs served a needed purpose to catch excess juice especially with some of the attys that hold a lot of juice like the 801, the native atty attachment for the original REOs we call Woodys. Some attys will drain out some juice when you set REO down with juice still in atty. The RM2, specifically, really doesn't require a well or catchcup in most cases as many other RBAs do but gives a proper finish to the whole look by concealing the bottom post.

The original REOs had tall/deep catchcups and were really needed with the 801 and/or other type attys used with adapters. I had several Woodvils special fitted for 801. Back then RBAs were still in the modders realm. The Woodvil catchcups are much shorter and I have had issues with overflowing from short CCs using 801. At one point I was considering asking Robert to put taller CCs on my larger Woodvils with 801 fittings. Glad I waited. The 801 was the preferred atty for some of us but its quality of vape pails when compsred to RBAs especially the RM2. All of my 801 REOs, with the exception of original Woodys, are going in for sex change, outty 801 to inny 510, to be able to use RBAs.

Yeah. I'm actually going to do something more along the lines of a countersunk bevel washer with the 510 in the middle so a rba can seal (with an o-ring) to the washer. In essence it'll have a flush-mount for the atty

I need to PM you a picture of the only other BF Wood box mod I have that isn't a REO. (I used it for about a week before I started my collection of The Superior Woodvils. It has issues that I don't like and it certainly can't take the tumbles the Woodvils can take. But it's pretty to look at.) It has similar fitting to what you are describing. (Besides that other being so fragile compared to REOS the feed system is a hassle and part of the well is wood. Not good with most attys and even cartos that will allow juice outside the atty.) I may not get pic sent until tonight or tomorrow as I was up all night and need to get some sleep when I get home.

BTW.... while we were waiting like what seemed forever for Robert to release the VV Woodvils I picked up a Buzz Pro (same chip used in VV REOs) to hold me over. My wanna be VVW. All the anticipation of VVW fired up my desire for VV. I had a Provari but found it to be too heavy for my liking. I traded it for a special REO. And tube mods don't really suit my lifestyle although I've kept a few, used very rarely. The Infinity Pros are a nice size and weight (and use same chip as Buzz and VV REOs) but they are still tubes and need tanks. I like the simplicity of very few complicated parts and readouts in the Buzz, Infinity, and VV REOs. Less things to malfunction. Those three can even go swimming without damage. Don't think any others would survive living at Home of The Swimming REOs.
