Good morning, REOville.
I am pretty good with REOs and pretty knowledgable on how they work and how to keep them running well. My wife's mini (that takes the 18490 batteries) is a bit of an enigma, though. It has the new connections, but not the new 510. Here are the top two issues I have been battling since she got it almost a year ago:
Misfires-sometimes will not fire unless you spin the battery and retry
**I've cleaned it, swapped springs, cleaned and deoxit'd the contacts, etc. It still happens daily
Battery draining-she gets about an hour or two at most on a freshly charged battery
**She has all AW IMR 18490's and even the ones that we got it this week are draining in almost no time.
I have her coil at right about 1 ohm on an RM2. Now, she does vape it often, like twice per minute, but they are small little drags. She probably averages about 2 seconds per draw.
I have a Nitecore intellicharger 4-bay and it works just fine. I even meter her batteries with a multimeter when they come off........all at 4.19 when charged. I don't know what her batteries are reading when she swaps them after an hour......I believe 3.8-3.9
Does anyone have suggestions as to what might be causing either the misfires or more importantly, the batteries to discharge so quickly?
Thanks in advance.
