REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

[nerak]

REO fact from Robert:

A gasket in a electronic cigaret is only about 1/16 there is very little room there .It doesn't take long if a person is over tightening atomizer - cartos to compress it to a point there is no longer any spring in the gasket

Just an old Trucker who has been vaping an eGo for about 6 weeks now. Dripping and driving too much of a hassle, so I've ordered a REO mini, 2 batteries and a charger on advise given at this site. Am I forgetting anything ? Already have 510 atty's on hand. Also, will I need a syringe just to fill the 'squonk' (?) bottle ? Finally, tell me if I got this right; fill the bottle and screw into place so the feed tube does not make conact with the bottom of the bottle, insert charged battery, attatch an atty w/drip tip (I just like my tip) and I shoild be ready to go, right ? Any assistance is appreciated, thanks

Welcome, PapawBrett

You may want to have two more batteries...but it's not necessary, just easier for rotation. You want to make sure that your atties have the little hole in the bottom of them so the juice can get through. No syringe is needed unless you like using one. The 3ml bottle is pretty small, so if you are dexterity challenged, you may want a syringe.
You've got the idea...so I think you'll be fine. Be sure to not over tighten the atty or the juice bottle. Prime your atty with about 5-7 drops of juice before it's first use if you're going to use a brand new one. Let it sit and soak in for about 10 minutes before the first use. Burnt atty is a flavor you'll not soon forget or want to repeat. Be sure to keep us posted...and feel free to post your own thread if you need any assistance.

I agree about the need for 2 more batteries.

When filling the mini, I just put the nozzle of the juice bottle inside the mini´s bottle and squeeze the mini´s so it sucks the juice in; I learned that if I squeezed the juice bottle, I ended up spilling some juice.

Didn't know where to post this exactly, so here it goes!!
Are you tired of dropping your RBA screws?
No problem- there is a FIX for this!!!
Take a strong magnet and rub your screw driver/allen wrench on it 100 times (or more).
Now your wrenching tool is magnetized and the little screws will stick to it when you undo them too far or all the way.
This also aids in putting he screws back in the post. The little bitty screws stay on the wrenching tool as you align it with the threaded ends of the posts you are trying to screw into. If you still drop a screw, take your wrenching tool and sweep around the area where you dropped the screw and it will pick it up!!

Problem: my grand door keeps dropping magnets. I've tried liquid nails to hold them in, but they still plop right back out and stick to the battery or their opposite number on the body. What the heck can I use to hold these things in? I've got 3 more magnets on the way, and if I lose any more of them I'm gonna throw myself in the dirt again...

I'm not sure what "liquid nails" is, but I've used Superglue, and it works great. In fact, I replaced one once using Superglue, and got it in backwards. Never DID get it back out. Got a new door instead.

Alrighty, I'll give it a shot when my magic package full of magnets and a reomizer (!!!) comes next week. -sigh- waiting is the hardest part.

Yes super glue make sure you clean any left over adhesive left in the magnet holes before you put the super glue in the hole . I would have a rag close by to wipe up any excess glue .Also you may want to push on the magnets once you glued them in to push any excess glue out

I would get a couple extra springs to have just in case.
