I Caved :(

Wow... you made the move. Hope you really really enjoy it for that price lol :cool:
 
That is cool!
Now for the wait... and wait.... and wait...
 
All the best Gizmo. It will look really cool!

We hope to see some pics when it arrives
 
Found this video on how to build a coil on the RM2.



is that basically it @Matthee?
 
YES, YES, YES....another Reonaut - great colour combination that. You are welcome to blame me, you will thank me after the short learning curve. Hope you have some of the recommended AW IMR 18650 (1600 or 2000 mAh) batteries handy, the Reo will be here before you know it. In the mean time study up on the videos I have posted here and practice some coil building. There are some great stickies on the Reo Forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/.

You probably should have ordered a few spares (like extra 6ml bottles, o rings, etc.). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away.

Yes, that one will work. I like the one below better for it shows tightening up the coil with pliers. I do not flame the wire beforehand. You also don't need the jig, a C clamp and 1.5mm drill bit works perfectly. Or the needle shown in the the video you posted. Will later post a video of doing the coil and wick the quick way, not micro coiling.

So it has to be IMR, what about ICR or the standard ones?
 
Nail clippers are an essential tool in any coil builder's tool box. I will struggle without my clippers

Must be button top, otherwise you will bugger up the firing pin in the longer run and get sparking. The AW IMRs are what the majority of Reonauts use. These batteries are Lithium Manganese, a safer chemistry apparently and the Reos were designed for them. You can read more on the Reo Forum if you like. I found this sticky quite useful: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/270331-free-reo-forum-thread-index.html
 
Ok cool. Is it true that the Reomizer V2 is not soo great

Wow, watching and listening to this guy is worse than going to a funeral. He does say at the end the RM2 is the best for a Reo and he will buy one again, but he does go on about the posts' holes in this particular one that was not quite aligned. He also says that it vapes great. The RM2 is one of very few attys with a ceramic base, making shorting much less of a problem. IMHO one of the easiest rbas to work on with the ample space between the posts. Anyhow there are quite a few Reo compatible rbas out there, but none that matches the RM2 in performance, other than the Chalice, which is around 4 times the price of the RM2 and you cannot easily get hold of one. In the sticky section of the Reo forum there is a thread listing all compatible rbas.
 
Homework, Gizmo. Maintenance about once a month. The black stuff in the plastic baggie will be the Noalox you use a little dab of on the firing pin.
 
My REO has landed in SA. Should receive it shortly! It says its at Post office on USPS. I assume that's is their delievery location before they start expediting?
 
If it says Post Office you should be able to go there, sign for (required) it and collect! And probably no taxes. If you wait you will get a slip in your postbox to go and do that. Whoopeeeee, another Reonaut! As soon as you show us your pictures, you will get a badge:).
 
Just reading these posts is making me so excited for you Gizmo

Now its making me want to cave in too!
 
Also guys where can I get some nice cotton from?
 
Someone said the dentist ;-)
