Hi everyone new to the thread and glad to be here! I just got a new reo mini a month ago (my old one got stolen :yawn:) I got the reomizer 8.0 on it as well with new fully charged batteries. iv'e built it up to all the specs but for the life of me I can't get any heat into my coils. Everything seems to be running correclty, but i just cant get anything out of it. I am at the end of my rope here, does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

thanks

1. Put the atomizer on an Ohm Meter to check the resistance. If you get a reading, then you know the screws didn't slice the coil wire. This is something you may not see or notice - unless you wiggle the coil. So easy to overlook.

2. Use the allen wrench to raise the 510 connector up so that it makes contact with the center pin of the atomizer.

Just to reinforce - inside the 510 is an ADJUSTABLE pin, you turn it with one of the allen wrenches that came with the Reo. BUT IT IS REVERSED - so to make it HIGHER (which you may need to do to get a connection) you turn it CLOCKWISE - that's the opposite of most screws.

Let us know if that fixes it!!

ALSO - there have been a few cases of that adjustment pin coming loose in shipping, and being missing altogether! That would also prevent a connection. If the allen just spins, then the pin is missing - look in the box!! (and ask Rob how to get a new one).
