    The REO Lounge - Part III

    If the cause is juice gumming it up, soaking in hot water will help. Now, if you end up needing to use pliers, put that rubber from a jar opener around the base of the RM2 (NOT the threads). Be careful if you use pliers on the cap. It is soft and might collapse on you. In short, go slow and...

    Is he getting his two front teeth for Christmas?

    I raised the bar, Rob

    Having gone to the Vape Meet and meeting up with Dougiestyle, I can tell you that is one really neat mod. The bar that was raised was one of having a display added to the bottom feeder. Is it really an insult to Rob or the Reo? Not at all. No one except Rob can claim the usability of the bottom...

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    The nose bleed could be caused by a change in weather. It could be really dry.

    My first Reo just arrived

    I want to give you a small caution here..... Keep an eye on the interior of your Reo. There is a gasket in the 501 connector. This connector is pressed into the Reo. It is possible that the previous owner attached an atty too tightly, or dropped it (which can also cause the jamming of the button...

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    I tried the cotton thing for a couple months. Using NETs, I had to change the cotton at least once per day. That got old fast. (face it, I am basically lazy) So, I switched to XC-132. I make a 9 wrap micro coil at 1.6, with a diameter of 5/64 (one step up from 1/16) and the wick slips right in...

    PERFECT micro coils - start to finish video using the darkzero coil jig

    I actually have one of those. The bits for it are quite expensive (especially considering you can get the manual tool from Radio Shack for $5). In addition, the center post (that you wrap the wire over) is smaller than 1/16 inch. (This is with a tool that is sized for 30awg. I thought about...

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    Xobeloot, I am sorry to hear that about your family. Sadly, it happened to me as well many years ago. It became a division that never healed completely, but it was still survivable. It becomes that way by recognizing that you have a new family, one that you have created. I am proud to be part...

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    I could not resist liking this post. I would have told her that it is too late to change the picture. She should have read her email. I have reached the point where I am through enabling people. Everyone else thinks the world revolves around them and it truly does not. I have to give you credit...

    The REO Lounge - Part III

    When we moved into our house, I wanted a fireplace. My wife did not. We got a house that had a fake fireplace that ran off of propane. After doing the research on it, we removed it, and put in a high efficiency wood stove. That first winter we had 20 degree temps for 2 solid weeks. (It never got...

    Is there any kind of industry standard for 510 drip tip o-rings?

    We were actually in that store today! I cannot believe the assortment of tools they have that we can use! We bought that same kit of o-rings, several different sized hemostats and even a pair of tweezers. The magnifying light that they had was out in the store, so we will have to try online...

    coil temp?

    I tried once before. I could not get my sensor to hold steady long enough for a reading.

    For those of a nervous disposition, look away NOW!

    It looks to me like the spring was compressed as well, which could have been from having the kick in it. However, I would consider a complete rebuild kit. Based on the things you can see, there was obviously no maintenance done on it, so the firing pin is probably coated beyond belief.

    Grand finish question

    I used to have this same problem with glasses. I could destroy a pair of temples on my glasses in 2 months. After much consternation, contemplation and condemnation, we figured out that it was the nickle in the frames reacting to the oils in my skin. From that point forward, I never bought...

    Finally got some 28 gauge kanthal, and wow!

    I am so sorry to hear about your difficulty, being over the limit and all. Allow me to assist you in that area by sending you my address. You can box up 1 or 2 of your over limit stock, and send it to me. That way we will both be happy.

    Rob, I'm about to make the jump from ego/Vivi to Reo Grand….

    I have noticed gurgling a couple times with my Reo. Every time I notice it, the sound was due to me having the air hole at the side or bottom of the RM2 when I am drawing a vape. When I hear anything, I always check my air hole on the RM2 to make sure it is pointing up.

    Working on my Order ......what should I Order and how many ?

    Since you say you will not want to spend any more money for 2 years, include a file for the firing pin. You will need to use that probably once a month or so. (Rob says 2 weeks.) Course, that may be unnecessary once the mod kit that Rob is working on is completed.

    "OK, UNCLE" . .. . gave up and put a CIRCUIT BOARD in my REO too!

    That is really cool! I like that idea.
