Batteries question for my reo
Unfortunately, with my super-sub builds, I still get arcing with DeOxit. I clean/treat with DeOxit, then apply Noalox to the positive contact on the battery to prevent arcing. With both of these compounds, I get absolutely zero sparking, even with my 0.14Ω builds. I doubt that can be said about... -
Batteries question for my reo
I have to say I agree with Trollkin. I love my AW's; I just can't use them with most of my builds. If you are staying above 0.30Ω, these batteries are just splendid. I haven't had any issues with my VTC4's or VTC5's as far as arcing, and I usually run around 0.14Ω to 0.18Ω. Guess that's just... -

Batteries question for my reo
As you can see, everyone is different OP. If you truly "need" flat-tops, you can't go wrong with Sony VTC4's (or VTC5's, but legend has it they can only be obtained by slaying the unicorn that lives in the belly of the dragon that lives in the belly of Moby D., the Great White Whale) or MNKE's... -
Stripped and polished - what I wasted my Sunday afternoon on
I did this recently as well. Perhaps my thread is the one you were referencing, OP? Regardless, fantastic work! I was too lazy to go out to the Depot for 2000 grit, and the highest my local hardware store had was 1600, so I made do. Don't have one of those fancy buffers, either. I think I have... -

Deoxit Gold
Guess I'm making the switch. From what it looks like, G5 should "technically" work as well as G100, as the other 95% seems to be for application purpose (aerosol, thinner, etc.). Please correct me if I'm wrong, because the shops around here only sell G5 and I'd rather not throw away money. -

Sounds like a handsome set-up! I and the rest of Reoville will be anxiously awaiting pics. -
Suggestions for REO Long Term Survival Kit, what parts do you keep on hand?
Rob sells spare top caps for this exact reason. Just send him a PM for an invoice. Reo survival kit... On the road, just your standard 35mL bottle of juice, a couple batteries, some cotton, some scissors, and some Noalox. I always keep one full rebuild kit stocked at home, though, i.e. an extra... -
The Story of Sparky; HP to LP Transformation
Hoping for 30 or so! Actually, the name was given after I installed my first brass positive contact. It was basically a welder's shop under there. I got it right after a few tries, so the sparking didn't stick, but the name did. Thanks bud! Great video on those new SS 510's, by the way... -
Sub-Ohm Contacts
Thanks, Rob. I take all the necessary safety precautions, and the way I see it, the shim mod makes the Grand no more or less dangerous than your standard tube mod, except the Reo's performance beats most tubes out there by a long shot. That soldering idea is new to me though, might have to try... -
Sub-Ohm Contacts
Hi, guys. Looks like my input might be appreciated here. Yes, the voltage drop tests were good when comparing the gold contacts to homemade brass contacts and outstanding when comparing the gold contacts to the original SS contacts. The fuse mod (which, OP, as a super-subber, you should look... -

I did both on day one. :facepalm: Cyclone Cyclops (AFC) can only be used on LP Reos. -

Do you rock a single or double coil?
This is good to know. Would love an update on the verdict. They haven't even gotten warm running against my 0.10Ω, but that could just be raw luck. Again, even with my 0.14Ω builds, my draws are only a second or so. Edit: Here's some in-depth test results. Performed some time in 2014... -
Do you rock a single or double coil?
I was being facetious, but, nonetheless, I couldn't agree more. I haven't been on the forums for a while. A quick Google search revealed that this bit of false advertising caused quite a stir in the community. Again, thanks for the heads up. Wish I would've been there for the initial discovery... -

Do you rock a single or double coil?
35A, my bro. Fully charged at 4.2V it's pulling exactly 30A against the 0.14Ω build. Also has a 50A PR for that .010Ω build. Only take about half-second pulls off that bad boy. Efest IMR 18650 LiMn 2500mAh Battery - Flat Top - 35 Amp -
Cyclone - Where to buy and what to expect ?
Try Google. Being serious. There are tons of places that sell them with varying prices and varying availability. How patient are you? How frugal? One place might have it for $64.99 out of stock while another has it for $79.99 in stock. Just check around. As for what to expect, it performs a bit...
