The Cyclone Thread

Excellent post and thanks for sharing @Yiannaki
I appreciate the detail and the way you described the differences. Pros and Cons were also great.

Only saw this now.

Seems to me then that the Cyclops is really for those who prefer more airflow
If you very happy with the tighter draw on the RM2 then Cyclops probably not worth it
Am I reading it right?

You're spot on @Silver

There isn't really much difference between the two with regards to flavour. (At least in my opinion) and so the biggest draw for this would be the open airflow for someone who finds the airflow of the rm2 too restrictive.

100% on the button @Silver! The Cyclops is for wide airflows and dual coils! The only reason for me to get a Cyclops is the coloured ones just look so damn KEWL! :rock:
 
Interesting post by Chowderhead who is an atty modder of note in the US and he does nothing else other than covert Attys to BF for REO's and other bottom fed devices. He was answering a question as to what was the best atty for a REO.

Quote "All around good atty would be the Atomic kind of a middle of the road atty that is well suited to the standard issue, garden variety crowd. If you are looking for extreme flavor and possibly reduced vapor the small attys are awesome Divo, Cyclone standard cap, Reactor are all great choices and sell faster than I can get them.

The 22mm attys will hang over the top a little bit. Will have great flavor (albeit less than the small chamber attys mentioned above) and huge vapor potential. The flavor can be somewhat muted compared to the tiny chambered attys but that's not always a bad thing. I prefer a 22mm over the little guys for that muted flavor because the intensity of a Divo or Cyclone standard can be a little much on some juices."
 
New dual coil setup for the cyclops.

28g. 8 wraps. 2.0mm ID. Dual coil. 0.67 ohms.

Wicked it ala @Andre style (except this is cotton :p)

Got the AFC half open, still doing mouth hits (18mg) is too much for lung hits. Lol

I'm dripping strawnilla and I must say the flavour off this build is superb!

Nice neat coils Bro. That's my sweet spot wrt to resistance

QUESTION:
@Rob Fisher @Andre and all other cyclone users.

sometimes my post screws come a bit loose messing up the connection of my coil and it wont fire for obvious reasons.
is this a known issue or are my screws a bit worn out?
any fixes other than tightening the screws ever so often ?

+1 to this

I seem to have the same issue,

I have now resorted to screwing then in very tightly (probably considered over-tightening)

Has never happened to me - and my coils stay in there for months on end. Not a known issue that I am aware of either. Probably a bit worn out - see if screws from other atties do not fit and maybe give you a better hold? Maybe give it some of that plumber's tape?

ive had this happen to me the first time i used my bf atomic. i thought they were tight enough as i didnt want to go right through the kanthal.
but i just tightened it a little more when it came loose and now it works fine
 
Quick q.
Have any of you guys that use dual coils on the Cyclones (or any similar atty) thought of winding the 2 coils in opposite directions ?

It should be easier to position them perfectly imo if they are mirrors of each other, seeing that you only have the 2 posts to work with.
On top of this, the 'mirror' should allow for legs of roughly the same length when the coils are positioned in the same spot.

Haven't actually occurred to me but I'll give it a go.

Sounds like a very good idea. Will give it a shot when I do coils again.
 
just a question, who else wicks like this, and is there any disadvantages to wicking like this.

i fold the left tail back under the coil, so i have wick under and through the coil, and then the right tail i run down the right of the atty, not very long, both legs more or less 7 to 9mm

Should be fine, especially with the big air hole on yours. How does it vape for you? Think @Alex does similar on the Atomic?

Looks good!

have you tried an ugly coil yet?

Im running one and seem to get better flavor.
 
I've never had that issue... I have had the same coil in Avril since she arrived and she is still going strong.
 
Here my build i use in the Cyclone and the AFS (1 side open half)

I used a 2.2 mil id 6 wraps ugly coil design.

Here are some of the pics on a build i just did.

Awesome looking build bud.

Now I believe you :D
 
As much as I just love my Cyclones, Vicious Ant the company really annoys the crap out of me! The idiots decided in their infinite wisdom to change the diameter oh so slightly between the original Cyclone and the 2014 version! The result is that they are not really interchangeable because the fit of the new deck is so &*$##$ tight in some cases. Case in point is I have new 2014 BF decks and what I thought would be the new 2014 Copper Cyclops and I'm actually sure it is the new version because they only just released the copper version... and the fit is so so so tight!

Most annoying! :-@:finger:
