I had a coil read 0.8, and the batteries did not fire at all, no spark, nothing. So I made a coil that read 1.10, same thing not firing, not sure what the problem is, I thought these batts were 10a and would fire no problem, and I doubt naolox would do anything since it doesn't seem like they're firing? These batteries work fine on my other mech mods. Anyone know the problem?

any pictures of your set up? pictures would help... more description of everything would help if you cant manage pictures, but remember, pictures are worth a thousand words... so it better be a thousand if its not a picture... (i kid)
kudos to you if you actually right 1000 words about whats going on... that would be wicked, im not going to read it though... too much writing... lol

Are these button or flat top? do you have a button cover? flat tops require more travel in the button and the button cover can limit the travel.
the second i read this.... it immediately reminded me of tech calls/visits with the tech guys ive worked with... (luckily not me, but people i work with) my computers not working... is it plugged in? oh... my computers not working... is the monitor turned on? oh... is the monitor hooked up to the computer? oh
-sigh- and these people are classified as military intelligence analysts....
do you have a volt meter? You might be having a contact issue with the center pin of the RBA.
Have you tried your bf atty on a different mod just to see? I mean there are a bunch of variables currently
Yeah, I have a volt meter, I tried my rm2 on my k100, it worked fine, the efest works on the k100, I've bee using AW IMR on my REO's and they fire whatever build I do from 0.5-1.1, the efest always fires on my k100.
I don't think it's a contact issue since my AW IMR's always fire on my REO, I just found these 2 efest's I ordered a while ago, and tried to see if they would fire. When I first got them, they would sometimes fire on my REO, but always on my other mech mods. I hardly use them if ever, so I doubt they're fried.
Test the voltage at the center pin and threads of the 510 connector in the drip well of Reo while pressing the firing pin to see if it's low or just none at all. Also what's the voltage of a fully charged battery? You cold also try hitting the battery positive and negative contacts with some sand paper or a file.
Yeah, they work perfect on it. It's what I've been using for a couple months now
Is the firing button turned counterclockwise so its not in the locked position? Do you have a button cover on it? Sometimes they can slide down on the Grands native firing button so that the throw is not long enough to make contact.
Many Reonauts shim the button cover so it won't slide down to far. I just wadded up a piece of paper. dropped it in the button covers hole. Make sure the Reo is in the off position and push the button cover back on. Give it a nice firm push but not too firm. 
IF you find it doesn't go down far enough for contact take it off and put another little wad in there.
