I checked the extra bag with robs card and thought he gave me a empty baggy with dusk in it until I realized its the nalox lol. Just another day in newbville for me.

Day 3 of owning a Reo Grand and I start to learn just today to not flood my atty completely. Took a while but now I am a pro with my reo haha.

:laugh: I feel it! I burned out an atty the first hour I had my REO (I had been using cartomizers on an eGo) then spent a couple of days flooding it.

You're missing the spare bottle that comes in the bag as well. I didn't get a reducer tube in either my Grand or Mini, perhaps he doesn't send them anymore. Not sure I'd use it anyway since none of my juices are that thin.

I just received my Mini. My first bottom feeder and I like it so far.

In the directions it states your package may also include one Delrin drip tip, one extra juice bottle, one reducer tube, some Noalex, and one business card... as supplies last.

Mine didnt include the driptip or reducer tube but no biggie on the DT since I bought a few cannon/LR306 combo's. But the miniscule piece of reducer tube might be hard to find if I ever want to use pure pg.

No problem....first, check the bag again as it is small and very clear, therefore hard to see. But if you don't find it, be sure to PM Rob. He'll take care of that. :)

I ordered a mini last nite! I'm now attempting to catch up on some of the Reo threads to get a feel for this mod that I've wanted for a long time now. I'll be sure to let you all know what's in the bag (or did I just let the Kat out of the bag...)

;)

Thank you, Rob.

wait...where do you apply the nolax? :confused:

You probably won't need it when it first arrives, but when you clean your mod, you want to clean the battery contacts and firing pin with alcohol & qtip. Once dry, take a toothpick and a tiny dab of Noalox and apply it to the tip of the firing pin.

First off, I adore this little welcome pic! Thanks so much!

Bianca, did you and I order a Mini the same day? I ordered mine Wednesday nite. How exciting!

Thanks for the welcomes. I have THE newbie question of the century, so laugh all you want, but what is Noalox? I'm assuming I won't be putting it on Bagels with cream cheese...

Hi! :) I just ordered mine yesterday. It was the only Mini left and it was in my two favorite colors so I took it as a sign. :)

Please don't put any Noalox on your bagels! It's generally used to keep threads on mods from freezing up and preventing you from unscrewing it to get to your batteries. Apparently for the REO's it's used differently.

Correct...its more of a anti-corrosive compound. It helps with conductivity between the firing pin and battery terminal. Not everyone uses it...but if you find that everything is working correctly and you're having some consistancy issues...this may be your answer. Those who do use it, swear by it. :) What is in the baggie should last you for a year or more so you don't need to rush right out and buy any. If you want to though...this is what it looks like and can be found at any home impovement store where you find multimeters and such.

I use it every week when I rinse my Mini out with hot water. I usually also clean the atty threads and firing pin with an alcohol soaked Qtip, so adding a bit of noalox on the tip of the firing pin is necessary. If I forget it, I can tell.

A really easy way to do it (if you have old eyes like me) is just to put a dab on the positive button of the battery before you pop it in.
