    Batteries for a metal VV Grand?

    Hell, I got 3 pairs of Trustfire IMR 18350's that I use in my two VV Reos. I giggle when I put them in, because "OMG! Trustfire? Noooo...!" :tongue:

    The REO Lounge - Part IV

    What up, Reovillains? Muddy checking in. Life has become a roller coaster lately. I'm ready to take a break from the ride and eat a corndog or one of those huge bready pretzels with lots of salt and mustard. :D

    Parents are about to quit smoking

    Reo + carto is a great vape and new user friendly. I hope they transition well with minimum frustration. Sure, they may forget to recharge the spare batteries or flood a carto, let a carto run too dry (yuck!), or slop some liquid about the place, but that's how we learn. If you go over the...

    Hi Reoville. What a week! I'm glad to see this one go. I hope everyone is well. :)

    The REO Lounge - Part IV

    Call the number on the website and tell Rob what you're wanting and he'll tell you what he can do to hook you up. You might have to polish a raw tumbled aluminum door yourself, but lots of the Reonauts here would be glad to tell you how to go about doing that. Good luck!

    The REO Lounge - Part IV

    Hey gang! I'm at work WITHOUT A REO! Ain't that a beech tree? I went thru my normal routine this morning getting a Reo ready to go to work with me and forgot to put it in my shirt pocket. I was halfway to work when I realized I left my baby at home. I'll survive. But I won't enjoy it...

    Only thing stopping a REO from lasting a lifetime..

    It's silly that the 510 connection became the industry standard for mods and rebuildable atomizers. It made sense for cigalikes, and even for the big battery mods that followed before rebuildables made the scene. It's time for a beefier connection to replace the 510. Now, we just need all of...

    Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

    Two kits are working great on two Grands. 0.90 ohms on one, 1.3 ohms on the other. I didn't remove annodizing or paint before installing the new springs. Has anyone done any testing to determine if doing so makes a significant difference? I'm vaping happy, but I'm curious.

    Its woodvil time

    Tim was correct. Using a LED flashlight, I examined the positive post of the flat top while installed in the Woodvil. The rounded corner of the battery housing inside the wood body, top and right of the battery, prevents the top of the battery from making contact with the positive contact of...

    Its woodvil time

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll do some more involved troubleshooting and figure it out. Right now, I'm disassembling two Grands and getting them cleaned up in preparation for the upgraded contacts which should arrive tomorrow. They gotta be freshly showered before they put on brand new...

    Its woodvil time

    Question for my Woodvil peeps: My 18650 Woodvil works beautifully with an AW 1600mAh 18650. It does not work at all with a Sony VTC5. All of the contacts appear to be clean and the flat top Sony battery appears to be making good contact at the positive and negative. Why wouldn't a flat top...

    Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

    And before this gets out of hand... DO NOT POLISH, FILE, OR USE CORROSIVE/ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON YOUR CONTACTS. I'm just picking on Rob. He has commented more than once that he hates polishing metal Reo bodies, and the thought of him polishing tiny little strips of metal and battery springs...

    Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

    I have 2 kits on the way, but I'm going to return them to Rob when they get here. I'll put a note in the box asking him to polish the contacts and return them to me. Rob loves to polish. I should have thought to ask when I made my order. :evil:
