I posted earlier about possibly getting a REO and now after reading more and more.....I'm convinced. I WANT A REO! Now the bummer is that the site is out of rm2 rba's. Waiting sucks. What's your experience? Are they hard to get? The update on the site said they'll have more on 9-9 but that was last Monday and already out? Waiting (im)patiently....... Please pray for me.
You're driving me crazy!!!

The mini ERA is called a Hornet. I still use them on my minis. It's a solid rba. Mine are stainless steel. It's got a smaller air chamber, tighter draw, closer posts, less working room, feeds from one of the posts, and because of that has no drain hole for excess juice to flow back into the bottle. But they are a decent vape - miles better than a carto.
They have a push on cap secured by 2 orings. I pull off one oring and use it in the catchup before screwing the atty on. That way I can get things positioned exactly where I want them, and I get no leaks (other than if I over-squonk and forget to vape it out.) I also prefer the airier draw of the RM2 and had to drill out the Hornet air holes a bit.
Price-wise, the RM2 is the better deal. The Hornets were about $74 a piece.

I would send Rob a pm at redeyedancer and ask him when the rm2 will be back in stock. He ran out a couple of weeks ago but got them back in stock pretty quick. PS I bought one on Friday good thing right? This will be my #3 RM2 Ahhhhhhhhhh. Good things come to those that wait, you'll love it
yup.
i doubt he was actually out of stock this time around, but a problem was posted right here in this forum earlier and they mystically became out of stock about the time Robert posted right here that he was fixin them...
un-freakin-believable customer service

It seems there was an issue with the wire hole size on one of the posts. I'd wager Rob is simply rectifying the problem and will have them back ASAP.
I'm sure rob will fix it for you or if you are hands on its a simple fix just drill the hole a little bigger
Thanks but I live in France so I will not return the product at my cost and I do not have the tools to fix it on my own.
I am disappointed while I do not receive it for the moment
Rob has already stated that he will make them right, if you want him to. Or, if you do not want to send the RM2 back in, you can always enlarge the hole yourself. (Provided you have the tools and the prerequisite knowledge.)
he said he'll have more this Monday - the issue with the newest batch is that one of the holes is tiny and he'll be drilling them out.
If you already have one, he has said he'll drill that out too for you.

Ok, he can do this for us, but living in France I will not pay about 25 USD to ship it and an other 25 USD to receive it in france.
I do not have any tools to fix by my own. So I do not have any solution
i appreciate your dilemma, but what do drill bits cost in France? That might be your cheapest solution, or ask someone there with the equipment to help you out?

This can be done with a nail file. The brass is very soft and can be reamed out easily. You can also go to a hobby store and get some diamond tipped files that will work as well. You do not have to use a drill, or even disassemble the RM2 to increase the size of the hole that the wires go through. Barring all else, simply wrap the wires under the screw head, and tighten the screw down. What I am saying is that there are many ways to skin this cat, without sending them all the way back here. I fully understand the problem that you have, but there are many solutions to it other than spending $50 and weeks to get it done.
Just find a good drill bit the same size as the proper sized hole and drill it with your fingers. It's only brass and is very soft and easy to drill this way.
