How can I steal this when you're sleeping??? That is HOT looking!!!!!! I'm completely perplexed on how you got that curved in and out like that but can only imagine that being totally comfortable griping it.
Excellent design and execution of it. Bet it's real comfy in the hand.
thank you,
comfort was purely the goal. It just happened to work out aesthetically too.
AngiBe, you'd have to pry it out my hands with a crowbar
Really really awesome. Seriously. Curious as to what tools you used?
Very impressive.

Wow!!!! You absolutely killed it!
I hope you don't mind that I may follow your lead sometime in the future.
Great Job!

thank you for the kind words
. I mostly used files and sandpaper....tried a dremmel but I had more control and progress with files. And a drill press of course for the new button.
Very nice. Just got my first and don't have to nerve to take a tool to it yet. I need to save my pennies for a second one and then can see something like that in my future. I just can't go back to my old vape equipment.
The files were half rounds and rounds. Pick the best size for the shapes you want. You'll use the flat side of the half round sometimes too. (really handy file)
The button was a pain in the .... to be honest. If the object you choose as your button is not the exact size as a drill bit, then you have to drill smaller and finish making it fit by hand. I wanted a relatively tight tolerance so I took a lot of time sanding the hole to size with a rolled up piece of sandpaper.
I highly recommend choosing a button with a diameter the same size of your drill bit, but if you have to finish the hole by hand, just don't get in a hurry and you can get good results.
edit- I cut the ss drip tip to the length I needed (including the insulator/button stop on the bottom)

Great advice, and thank you!
So you've made me more curious about the button, can show a pic with the door off please? So it just sits on the firing pin like the original design? How do you keep it from falling out from the top?
I hope you take my questions as a compliment. I'm not trying to badger or annoy, its just that what you did to that REO is nothing short of unbelievable! We are all lucky to have someone like you to guide us to greatness. [emoji2]
lol, no worries.
Give me a couple of days and I'll post a quick picture guideline.
Just remember, you're doing it by hand so it will take time. Be patient, enjoy the process and the progressive change...don't be in a rush for the result.

Files and abrasive paper, only? What about all the beautiful milling?thank you for the kind words
Lol I didn't realize that was a "super light". It looks so much nicer. We all thought you did the milled pattern by hand I think. I'm halfway through mine. Will post when done.
I just pictured you sitting there filing each individual hole. The curves are perfect though. Not taking anything away...
