REO Woodvil & Derringer - Adjust to sit flush, help needed.

[Kh888]

Hi All -

I just received my Woodvil and my Derringer. Unfortunately, the rda does not sit flush. Can some one post a picture or two of how I can make adjustments so a flush mount can be accomplished?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!

Use the allen wrench that came with your woodvil to adjust the 510. It is reversed, so right is loose and left is tighter.

If you can't find that allen key use a tooth pic to turn the center pin on the mod.

Thank you! Okay...so, I adjusted the REO as mentioned, but the Derringer still will not flush mount. Can the Derringer be adjusted? The REO is all the way to the left.

I notice my derringer sits a tiny bit off the deck of my tmod also.A friend suggested i leave it that way to avoid the swirls.
Hope someone else can help you out.

Thanks...that helps to know that mine is not the only one that does not sit flush. Mine is actually more raised than I thought it would be, so I am hoping it can be tweaked a bit!

I am having the same problem.

I have 17 bf attys and none of them is even close to sitting flush. The center post that the adjusting screw fits in is too high. Don't know if that's adjustable.

I'll wait till Rob gets back from his fishing trip then give him a call. The new Woodvil is a beauty tho.

You can also get a pack of various grade wet/dry sand paper (say 220 to 600 grit), wet the sand paper and lay it on a flat surface, hold your Derringer (or any rda) upright as possible and run the 510 end in a figure "8" pattern on it. The figure "8" will keep the bottom of the 510 relatively flat and true (good enough anyway). I've done this to a number of RDA's, (and I've taken apart many many more) I've yet to come across one that you can't safely take 1 mm or so off the end of the 510. Just make sure you finish with the 600 to get the smoothest surface you can on the center pin, you don't want to create excess v drop.

Just check it often on the Woodie, you don't want to go any more than you need...some center pins have a shoulder you don't want to get too close to but a Derringer (even the new 2 piece center pin version) you'll be fine.

Hey Kori, congrats on the new Woodvil... I knew you would wind up with another Reo after purchasing that one from me. I knew there was still some Porkie dust on it when it left here. Sorry to hear about the problem with the Derringer though. Have you checked out the video by Russ, (Super_X_Drifter), on how to adjust the new 510's? If you need the link I can get it for you. I am awaiting my Woodvil which will be here tomorrow. I noticed you haven't checked in to the roll call thread either. Just a quick post is all it takes... Here's a link...

My bottom fed Derringer doesn't fit that low either. I adjusted it as far as it would go. You might be able to do a light tap or two, to get it to right, with a punch. I don't want mine digging into my Woodvil. Besides, if it was leaking a little, I want to be able to see it.

My fix is to use the Derringer on something else and get an RM7, it's a great little rda.

Tom (Chowderhead) tends to run his 510 pins a slight bit long, giving a slight gap between a fresh Reo and and the atty base. I don't mind it too much, I don't actually ever look at it from an angle to notice and it doesn't affect firing or squonking. If it bothers you, sanding as above is probably the easiest fix.

Thanks for the suggestion. If I do sand, I risk filing out the notches on the center pin. Does that matter?

Hi Mike - thanks for chiming in! I have not seen the video on how to adjust the new 510. I would love to if you have time to send the link.

Also, I followed the link above for the REO roll call. Thanks for sending it over.

Hope you like the Woodvil. They certainly are beautiful! Best to you....

Mine's like that, so long as it doesn't leak under the 510 I'm totally cool with it though. Looks like it is levitating like a holy ghost. Adds to the whole sacred vapor concept of my mod

Doesn't seem to be leaking...out of 4 reos, only one of my 510s leak, and I've gotta run an o-ring on that one.

 

[Kh888]

Lol...I am all for levitating, but this seems kind of high to me. Does this look similar to yours?

I do not own a woodvil but, I can see an advantage to having any atomizer sit a little above the device. I would think that a flush atty could possibly cause some scratching of the wood around the 510 connection. This marring of the finish could be a bad thing not to mention not looking so pretty.

But hey, what do I know, I think the woodies are spectacularly beautiful but not durable enough for my derelict lifestyle.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Hmm mine doesn't sit quite that high, maybe half that high. Although I may need to adjust it a bit cause it's not sitting in an ideal position airhole wise for the way I like to hit a mod. If I adjust it it'll sit that high for sure

Not at all, in fact I've often wondered why the center pin is notched...it really serves no purpose unless decreasing the surface area of the connection point and increasing v drop is the goal?
