Do not be too concerned. Many, many Reonauts have drilled theirs out and are very happy.

Thanks Andre
So the last coil I build was a 1.3ohm coil, vaped it for about 2 weeks. It was not to my liking.
So tonight I decided to build another one.
Started out as normal
26g
2mm id
4 wraps
(My normal sweet spot, around 0.8 ohms)
Then, as I was working the 1'st little leg into the one post, it was as if the coil was talking to me, guiding me to turn it on its side.
And then loadsheding stroked!!
And the generator came to the rescue
So now it was wicking time
And juicing it up time
And vaping time...
Um... No pick... But it vapes amazing!!!

Nice vertical coil @annemarievdh !
How does it compare to normal horizontal coils?
Does it wick as well?

No argument there @PeterHarris! I keep trying the other stuff every now and again and it's Rayon all the way for me!
That looks way bigger than 2mm ID, more like 3 or 4?
It vapes almost the same, and wicks very well. I'm still vaping on it. Replaced the wick a couple
rm2 with wooden cover and buffalo horn drip tip
Oi-vey! thats a masterpiece - I love it.
Advice needed... My RM2 is showing some age signs...chrome is scratched and starting to crack...
Any advice on a safe way to refinish/restore it... Don't want to damage it so thought I'd ask the gurus on here first.

Many take the chrome off. That is how the brass RM2 sees the light of day. Presume starting with a coarse sandpaper going finer.
Hi all
Just a word of caution - be careful if you try fiddle with the RM2 posts. They can break.
This is what happened to me today.
I decided to rebuild a coil in my LP RM2 (currently on Reo Blue). But when I took out my coil, this is what my posts looked like:
The post holes on the left post (near the squonk hole) were not aligned correctly. Also, that post seemed like it had tilted slightly.
I know that these posts screw in and out so I tried to screw it a bit to get the post holes facing the correct way. I put a needle through the post holes and turned it a bit anti-clockwise. The post rotated and the post hole was in the correct position - but it was loose. I then turned it the other way (clockwise) and it got a bit tighter in the position in the photo above. Then I turned a bit more...
Snap
The top of the post just snapped off!
I wasn't even applying much force.
I actually asked @johan what I should do after I took the first picture. I recall him having taken the RM2 apart recently. But I was impatient and saw a thread on ECF where they showed how to disassemble the RM2. So I thought I could just tighten that post quite easily before waiting for Johan's reply....
What's the moral of the story?

- Be very careful with the RM2 posts - they are not very strong and must be handled with care
- Wait for an advice from an expert before fiddling yourself. (Unless you are familiar with it)
Bad luck there. Keep it as spares, unless someone has an bottom of the drawer one with an intact post.
Sorry Hi Ho... maybe it's time to really try a Cyclone now! Do it... you will not regret it... and if you don't have one buy one from @BigB and if you don't like it I will buy it from you.

aah man that had to break your heart when that thing snapped.
@Rob Fisher has a good point on the Cyclone. i would get a new RM2 and a Cyclone they are both fantastic but i seem to mostly use the Cyclone.

Just wanted to say that I am so touched by the generosity of members
This afternoon, after my RM2 episode, i get a PM from @kimbo to offer me his RM2 for no charge
Kimbo, you are a legend!
Whether I end up accepting the offer or not, that is a great act of kindness and you are a true gentleman for making the offer. I appreciate that so much. Just wanted to let everyone know.
