I'm wanting to get a fuse for the Grand and also the Reo Mini? What do you guys use and where do we get them?


The spring itself (under the battery) is the fuse. If you have a short the spring collapses which disconnects the battery from the top firing pin. It works almost the same as blowing a fuse. So you should buy an extra spring in case you ever "blow a fuse". :p

The collapse is instantaneous(how do I know that) and here is what it looks like

The fuse also compresses the spring a bit, so it may not be quite as safe as running it the way Robert built it. The spring works, yes, you need to have some spares around, but I've never lost one yet. "Measure twice, vape once", i.e., check, check again, then check one more time before you hit the fire button. Check the resistance (ohms) when you build it, check it again when you're done building it, and after putting on the cap and taking it back off, then check it again after you put it on the REO.
