The Reomiser 2

[Andre]

Big game changer!!
Quick thanks to @Oupa for the goods I received and the free gift!!
So I did a big clean on me Reo and built a 0.9ohm using 28g. Not sure of the mm but it was smaller than the blue screwdriver.
I positioned the coil higher and closer to the outer rim, using cotton bacon V2 and very little might I add.
This thing is awesome, really good throat kick, decent flavour and pretty good clouds for MTL.
2 queries I have; Is it normal to cut the tube so it fits in the Reo?
Secondly, I received some paste/goo from VM, what is this for?
I thank you all for your help, it's really an awesome vape and I can see why it is so truly loved! Bring me another Reo

Good to hear.
Yes, the tubes out of the box are usually too long and needs cutting. Also, remember to cut a little upside down V shape in the bottom wand of the tube - to prevent it from sucking fast against the bottom of the bottle, preventing juice squonking.
Play around with your coil positioning, a mm makes a huge difference.
The paste/goo is Noalox. Clean your firing pin curled part with a white eraser and alcohol - do not file the pin as you will take off the gold plating. Then apply a tiny bit of Noalox with a cotton bud or something. This prevents sparking and makes for a better contact. Do this about once every month. More if you go lower ohms.

Naolox or dielectric grease, good for preventing oxidization on aluminium.

There are two types of contacts (firing pin and spring) for reos. The newer ones are gold plated, the older ones are not (grey in colour). If you have the older kind the noalox you got should be put on the firing pin (per Andre above) and on the top of the spring (maybe even a dab on both ends of your battery. If you have the new gold contacts, there's a product called Deoxit Gold that is less goopy, bonds to the gold of the contacts, and is made specifically for gold plated connections (it's used in high end audio gear). This is used in the same fashion as noalox.

Awesome that you're finding your groove with the setup.

Congrats on the set up @ChadB
Am glad you are liking it

What juice are you vaping now?

Thanks guys, @Silver vaping some awesome Lemon Creams 12mg - this juice is so well balanced and the fact that I have it in a 12mg makes it a winner!

Great to hear @ChadB
12mg in the RM2 is a winner indeed

I cannot believe the flavour out of these little RM2s 28g parallel 2.5mm id 5 wraps. With some DIY Cheesecake. 2mm air hole for a tight mtl. I still have a lot to learn about it but so far I'm very happy.

Nice win with the setup.

Now, it's hard to tell from the angle of this photo, but if you move the coil to as close to the edge of the deck as will fit without touching the cap, flavour will be maxed with the RM2.

Also, that looks like a lot of wicking for a squonker. Most folks (myself included) go for less, as a) we don't need the juice storage in the atty (fresh squeezed juice on demand), and b) juice stored in the wick tails can get scalded and go off.

Again - great that you found a happy place with the atty. Apologies if you've already experimented with the above.

I just built this when I got it without doing a bit of homework. I will definitely try moving it out to the side of the deck. Will be cutting the wicks shorter now and give it a try. Thanx for the advice much appreciated.

Bit out of focus with crappy cel phone but something more like this?

Hi @Stevape;)
It looks to me like your coil should go a bit more towards the outer edge of the atty for more flavour.

Here is a schematic that @Andre posted a while back. It gives a good idea

Also, i did a post a while back on this thread which also gives a good idea of the coil position
Check out this post:

Particularly the first photo

Just be careful you dont go too close that you touch the cap when its screwed on. I suggest checking the resistance on the ohm meter with the cap on once its all done. If it says no resistance then it may be touching the cap

Thank you @Silver time to build a new coil then will let you know how it turns out

Fresh Rayon wick and some flat Kanthal in the RM2

Position a bit better?

 

[Alex]

That's more like it @Stevape;)

 

[Stevape;)]

Can't believe it but the flavour got even better

 

[Silver]

That looks perfect @Stevape;) !!
Glad it worked for you!

You can play around with the coil position
What I have found is that its generally best if the coil is closer to the edge of the atty like you have it.
Then the height controls the throat hit. A bit higher means more throat hit and a bit lower means less throat hit.

Here's a repost of a vid from earlier in this thread which is great.

 

[Stevape;)]

Thanks @Silver I put it fairly high up I because I tend to like a warmer vape as well works like a charm

 

[Silver]

@Stevape;) does your RM2 cap have the standard airhole size?

 

[Stevape;)]

Nope this one has a 2mm air hole made by one of its previous owners.

Ah, I was gonna say that's a lot of coil for the stock air hole. 2mm should do you right by it.

Ok thanks
Some say that a bigger airhole reduces the flavour intensity which is understandable I suppose owing to more air in the mix.

But I would imagine that a more potent coil would combat that.

I have never tried though. My RM2 airholes are all unadjusted.

I find the 2ml hole works well for a restricted lung hit, great flavour.

Builds are a balancing act with a lot of ramifications that level the playing field. But what works for Tom, Jack and Harry may or may not work for you. Maybe I go against the grain, but for my big DLH's I have big holes with big aggressive coils and get big flavor.
