    Performance is down!

    Correct. I switched the spring and no longer need the magnet, so I was expecting a performance upgrade as opposed to the alternative. Also, I filed my firing pin, and all my [new] batteries are performing equally poorly. Still at a loss. Perhaps I need to rebuild my RM2? Maybe my coils got...

    Performance is down!

    Forgot to mention, my coils aren't getting as hot as before. It's visually noticeable; that is, even with an extended press of the firing button, they don't get white hot.

    Performance is down!

    Good morning all! I was waiting for my spring replacement in the mail after my first spring collapsed. It arrived yesterday. Upon replacing the old spring, I noticed an immediate downgrade in performance. I worked on it for a bit last night, cleaning the contacts and the like. With no...

    Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

    Xobeloot, always a good read... Like I said, I am also greatly anticipating the upgrade. (Dwight Schrute voice) Question: (/Dwight Schrute Voice) As the new mods primary functioning parts (connections, springs, etc.) are the things being upgraded, couldn't we just buy a repair kit...

    Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

    This isn't exactly true. I've had my Reo for a month and haven't gone above 0.5ohm. For the most part I like 0.3ohm. At 0.3ohm, however, I've suffered two melted buttons and a collapsed spring. I'm anticipating the new kits as anxiously as anyone, but in response to Cavere; it looks like you...

    Spring buckled... Uh-oh.

    That was like reading another language. I have no idea what any of that meant.

    Spring buckled... Uh-oh.

    I don't think it's a short. The spring isn't completely collapsed, just sagging a lot to the point that it doesn't press the battery up against the top of the mod. It holds the battery in place and I can still make a connection; I just have to press the button down really far.

    Spring buckled... Uh-oh.

    How do I identify/repair a short?

    Spring buckled... Uh-oh.

    Yes, indeed.

    Spring buckled... Uh-oh.

    Today, I woke up and noticed my vapor production wasn't as high as usual. I rewicked and cleaned, same problem. Figured it must be my battery. I opened the door to remove my battery and it literally just fell out. The spring seems to have "shrunk," for lack of a better description. It's not...

    So I'ma get those batteries...

    Just arrived in the mail, currently charging. Still waiting on that charger! With shipping it was like $18.something. Also, these batteries won't get super hot? As in I can go back down to 0.3ohm and put my unused replacement button in and not worry about it melting? Rob is currently making...

    So I'ma get those batteries...

    They had it on Amazon for $13 plus shipping, so I picked it up. Not sure how old yours is, but that doesn't appear to be a problem with the 2nd Gen i4. Regardless, still a steal, especially since it comes with a car adapter. No more frantically running into my house between shifts and during...

    Need a comparison please

    I got the black wrinkle with the purple metallic door. It's been about a month, and while the black wrinkle still looks pristine, the purple door has taken quite a beating. Guess mah jeans is hardcore... and probably jealous.

    Flat tops... You have failed me.

    Flat tops... You have failed me.

    Oh my God. The last four posts were so unbelievable helpful. Gonna order a couple batts off the Reo site... interestingly enough, I can't seem to find a better price.

    Flat tops... You have failed me.

    I think I am confused. How did you come to this conclusion? Where can I find the amps delivered by a specific battery? As I said, my flat tops deliver a much heavier punch than my button tops. My flat tops are Panasonic 3.7v 2900 mAh, and my button tops are Efest 3.7v 2000 mAh. If mAh is...

    I'd reply with a picture, but I'm going to sleep soon. Instead, here's a crappy drawing.

    Flat tops... You have failed me.

    My brother: I have always felt as though my flat tops fire better than my button tops. Seeing as my flat tops are 2900 mah and my button tops are 2000 mah, this is probably true. I have, however, fixed the problem. I used a pair of needle nose pliers and bent the end of the connector (the one...

    Flat tops... You have failed me.

    Though everything was working okay, my button was sticking when I pressed it down, so I went and I took the top portion of my Grand apart and noticed my button has melted a bit. I'm kinda like "...?" So I tried adjusting some stuff. Now my flat tops aren't firing. Period. I also seem to be...
