Change feed tube on Grand

[bowhunterr2001]

This may seem like dumb question but what is the best way to switch out the feed tube on a Reo Grand?? Mine seems to have a small hole in it and i want to swap it out, I just don't know where to start and don't want to break anything... Thanks in advance..

Hang on, someone who has done it will help you, but if it is at the top, the easiest thing is to just cut off the bad part, rather than replace the whole tube.

When I replaced my feed tube on the Grand I just simply slowly pulled off the old one, and moved the new top gently around the little connector side to side, and it slowly went on. Could maybe use some juice to help.

The grand replacement tubes are are heavy duty compared to the old style you can replace it without removing the inner delrin cover.You can put a dab of super glue on the outer edge of the tube and push it up simple as that.You will need one of the new caps to go with the larger tube I will put some on the site tonight .I cant imagine anyone breaking the new tubes there rugged

Still using the old fitting for the tube on the Grand? Might have to retrofit the new one.

Everything is the same but the tube & cape are different

Yes this is an older grand with the skinny feedtube and flat blade contact, I would like to upgrade the guts of this one... I just doesn't hit like the newer Grand I have..

Is the inner dimension of the new Grand feedtube the same as the Mini?

PM Rob (redeyedancer). He was taking them in for firing pin upgrade, and I think he was only asking for postage. Might as well send it in and have the feed tube repaired at the same time.

Send Rob (redeyedancer) a PM. He will upgrade it for you. All he asks for is postage.

....what mlinky said.

Great! I just got my Mini back, and it's better than ever. Turnaround was really quick too.

Can someone post a pic or a link to show the difference between the flat blade contact and the newer ones? Or explain to me how to tell the diff? Please. Thank you.

The older firing pin was straight across, the new one has a point that is the contact for the positive battery pole. You can take out your battery and push the firing button. If you look up at the inside top of the battery compartment you can see the firing pin http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...st-mod-what-you-will-need-10.html#post3318777 It might look flat, but you should be able to feel the point.
