Wow B & B! What a great image. I really never expected to see Brutus smile

All kidding aside, I like Brutus as a fellow Buckeye and knew he had to have a lighter side.
Thanks Sedge! I'll have to check that out. My other REOs are fine as I took my Mini 2.0 out with the 1.0 and they both hit fine. I must have screwed up the particular Grand I'm currently using and need to figure out what's up. I'm into my 7th week on the same coil so that too maybe having some bearing. I dry burn it and rewick it weekly but I've never had an issue until I installed the new gold-plated spring and firing pin. I have (2) of every REO metal so I'm going to switch to my backup Grand and see if the problem follows the mod versus the battery. I switched to some 2250mah "Orbtronic" Panasonic-based 18650s and the positive button diameter is a few millimeters smaller than the AWs I've used forever.
The only REO that matches and some times bests the Kayfun(on a regulated mod) is the VV Grand with the REOmizer 2. I'm really having a dilemma in paradigm-shifting since all I take out of the house are the REO mechanicals. The VV Grand is still too big and especially around Indy now that the Nicotine Nazis (ANTZ) have sown their seeds in making vaping a less-than-desirable behavior. I'm sure I'll figure it out and fully expect just about the time I switch over, Robert will start making DNA 20 & 30 minis that will make me run back to the mothership(REOsmods.com). I wish everyone a great evening. Brew
