Currently preferred method for removing Reo lock?

[pesky_human]

The other thread referring to this is closed, but I am wondering how you guys are removing the lock feature these days. I have the button cover on and took the internal screw out to see if I could figure it out, but I don't see a pin of any sort - just the bottom of the button with a little notch in it so that it doesn't travel out of the top of the mod.

I don't need the locking feature and the button keeps randomly locking. I know it can't be reversed. I would also rather not go bending the firing pin. This mod fires perfectly and I don't want to mess that up.

Thanks again all!

If you were to remove the button cover, and look down on the button (in situ) you would see the little "shoulder", "channel", "rabbet" that the locking pin rides along. If your 510 is Noon. The shoulder runs from 12 to 3 o'clock. Seeing that will give you an indication as to where the pin is in the mid-body of the button. Remove the button from the REO and push out/ pull out the tiny pin. (or file it flush)

Or.....find the little pin and push it into the delrin button with the tip of a screwdriver or nail file or something so that it is flush with the side of the button. It'll push all the way in, then it won't catch on that channel pdib is talking about.

Perhaps you should send it back and may haps Rob would do this for you? Mine does the random lock and I just show it who is boss and unlock the darn bugger. I do put it in a purse every now and then-so I find it a necessary feature!

Aha! There we go! Bonus points for use of "in situ"!

That makes way more sense than what I had read before, although hitting the button with a hammer did sound dramatic.

Thanks!

That's where I push to push it through, so it sticks out the other side, and then I've reversed my button, and . . . when I try 'n vape . . . it sucks my lungs out.


Or, I'm just reversing the button to use the fresh side of the bottom of it.

If you reverse the button, put the battery in backwards and it'll still fill your lungs.

i'd leave it and as nico says just turn the button 180 degrees - but to answer your question i just crush it into the existing pin so it no longer obstructs the top of the Reo. it is irreversible when you do this.

i am T and i have wrecked 5 Reo pins, but fixed them all by gluing tops on them.

What you DO need to ask is this - why is that pin getting so hot? - i am not a fan of crappy delrin buttons, so i modify all mine now, but you had better figure that out fast.

It is 'wrong' batteries or .... coils on you atomiser. You tell me.

Well, that's better than the alternative . .. . seeing as how I've got an opposite end as well. . . ..

I took mine out just remove the button and use a pair of pliers to pull out the pin. You can save it and put it back in if you decide you liked it better with it.
