Helllllp!

[Myah_June2014]

So I got a Cyclone w/ AFC couple weeks back but haven't had kanthal to build on it. I got some today & was so excited to use it. Made my coil & it won't fire.... Does the 510 connection look pushed in? Any ideas on how to get the center pin to budge on the Cyclone so it will hopefully connect? That's my main concern right now! Help Reonauts, please

Try atty without oring under it. My cyclone won't fire if I use oring under it like rm2.

Just built Magma & it fires? I've been looking foward to this Cyclone for ever now...

Yeah, took Oring off before I posted this message. Does the 510 look pushed in, or is it OK. Need to know if Cyclone is bad or 510 is pushed in so Cyclone won't fire

 

[Roscoe01]

I do know the magma has an unusually long 510 but I'm pretty new to reo land so not sure if it's pushed in or not.

I had same issue with the cyclone. It most likely is the positive pin. Soak the cyclone in hot water grab a screwdriver and pliers. Use the pliers to hold the two pins on top, and turn the screwdriver counterclockwise to back out the positive pin. I had to do two full revolutions of the the screw to get it to make proper contact. The benefit is that the hole is at the perfect height on the deck and vertical coils are easy with the height difference between the pins.

Does my 510 look ok on my Reo? If it's in too far, will Rob fix it? I'm freaking out, to be honest!!!

Can't tell from the picture for sure. Does the cyclone bottom out when you screw it on? My cyclone does not even come close to fully screwing on, and there is a noticeable gap when looking from the side. Rob can fix 510's, but he is coming out with a new 510 connection in the coming months. I would suggest waiting if at all possible as he describes it as being almost impossible to mess up.

JUST in case - do you have something you can use to test the Cyclone on? Just to get a reading and make sure it SHOULD fire?
Also - it IS unusual - most of the time with a Cyclone it's the opposite problem - they won't go all the way down, because the pin's a LITTLE long. Maybe a photo of the Cyclone's bottom to see if it looks right? Can't tell if your Reo 510 has anything wrong - I mean, there's nothing obviously wrong in that photo...

Here is a pic, not the best. It doesn't sit flush w/ my Reo which is fine, just want a connection! I did test it on another mod so it does work. Biggest issue I'm having is getting the pin to move, it's tight. I put something around where orings are & then put plyers around that to hold onto. Don't feel comfortable holding the pins with plyers. Entire atty just keeps going in circles as it's tight. I'm putting in hot water as someone suggested, any other suggestions how to unloosen pin would be grrrrrrreat I've never had to do this & it's the 1st "small" atty I've dealt with... Ty all, really appreciate all

Would need to see a side view of the Cyclone post so we can see how far the center pin extends past the outer threads.

 

[redeyedancer]

Yes a side a view will help . adjust the atomizer adjusting the mod is a bad idea

 

[HgA1C]

Again to adjust mine I had to let the cyclone soak in really hot water. I tried to hold the cyclone by the base and threads neither worked, the cyclone just kept spinning. As I said I had to use some pliers, needle nose, I grabbed the negative pin and then the positive pin lightly. You don't need to use a lot of power as the two pins will prevent the cyclone from spinning on their own. I then used the right size screw driver and rotated the pin both directions to loosen up the threads. I then had too back the pin out two full turns to have it make solid connection. Yes it is very difficult to get the screw too spin, but once you break it free it gets easier.

My cyclone made connection on my resistance tester, but would not make connection on both of my mods. After adjusting I used sand paper on a desk and rubbed the bottom of the cyclone to remove any burrs. It was worth it in the end, but I was pretty disappointed that an authentic atomizer was assembled so poorly.

I'm no expert but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night, and your 510 on the grand looks perfectly fine.

Maybe check your coil on the cyclone and make sure you didn't break a leg when tightening down the screws. If you broke a leg the coil wouldn't complete the circuit and could cause it to not fire. Just trying to think outside the box here.

I officially nominate this for quote of the year...

I can't speak about the 510 but what I can attest to is while there is a slot for screwdriver in the bottom of cyclones, some of them are pressed in. At one time I had 2 identical looking cyclones and on 1 I could turn the screw to adjust. On the other, it wouldn't budge no matter what I did so I left it alone cause homie doan press

Why is everyone ignoring HgA1C?

I had this same problem. HgA1C has posted the correct solution... twice.

Cause I asked for a side view shot of the Cyclone to verify that, that is indeed the problem.

It's not a big deal. Some people are uncomfortable using tools until it is absolutely necessary. Or heck, people may just not like me . The pictures he provided are not very clear that it is 100% the problem. I am just making a guess as my cyclone was assembled incorrectly from the factory, and he said that his cyclone has a gap between it and the REO. I bought mine from Mountain oak, and figure that there may have been a bad run or new assembly person when these were assembled.

The pin on the REO is as wide as the threads on the cyclone. So the inner pin most be backed outside of the threads. My Cyclone worked on the resistance tester which had a small positive contact, and it did not work on both of my mods that had larger positive pins.

Been a crazy day, wish I could've got these pics up earlier. Just let me know what u all think... Ty
