Is your button in the unlocked position?

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Have you
1) Checked your battery?
2) Checked your atomizer?
3) What is the condition of the spring...is it discolored at all?

Test your battery with a meter or on another mod.
Test your atty on another mod.
Try to narrow the problem down to a specific point.

 

[slowmovingtrain]

battery is good

rm2 is good

spring looks normal.

Some times my Reo won't fire because one or both of the screws on the RM2 have worked a little loose....

This

Also check that your switch lock is not activated... Rotate your fire button counter clockwise til it stops... vape.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Can you take a photo of the bottom of the RM2? The connector end?

 

[slowmovingtrain]

i put a carto on there on and that wont work either.


its not the rm2... nothing is working.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Interesting...okay...one last trick...did you file the tip of the firing pin before you put the noalox on? I mean really give it a good scraping?

 

[VapesAlot]

Do you have a multi meter to test with? Would help to pinpoint the problem easier

 

[Vash]

With door off press down button.Can you see tip of firing pin making contact with battery? I noticed when cleanng mine that firing pin can catch on side and not make contact if not centered correct when its put back together.

Curious lot we are - please let us know what was the problem. We could just learn something.

OKAY AN UPDATE.

Everything is fixed and i only feel slightly stupid.

When "samba" went down, I had a minor freak out. I got the provari and ibtank all ready to go and struggled for two days to get it anywhere close to what i was used to with the reo.

So i ordered another Reo. Right about then Rob pm'd me and asked me to send samba back. I had planned to send it tomorrow when i go back to work as the post office is across the street, but lo and behold the mail gods brought me my new reo.

As soon as i opened it i realized the problem with samba. Someone had pushed the button so hard that the button cover had jammed down on to the actual button, causing the positive contact to never connect with the battery.

I had checked it before, but it had seemed fine. It wasnt until i saw the new one that i realized how far down the contact goes to hit the battery.

Anyway, Im now safe and calm with two reos

Thanks so much to everyone who tried to help. You guys are all awesome!

Thanks for the update from which we learn as well. You're not the first person this has happened to, neither will you be the last. This happens in spite of Rob having added a doohickey inside the delrin cover to prevent same. Maybe you had an older model cover. Anyhow, al least you will be able to help other Reonauts in future. Great to hear you now have a backup - post a picture of the family!

Do the new Grands come with a button cover?

 

[malkuth]

Do the new Grands come with a button cover?

If you order a button cover, yes they do. Rob has put a piece of tubing in the new ones, to prevent you from pushing the cover down too far now.

 

[Matthee]

No, the delrin button is an accessory, which you fit over the firing button, check it out on the Reosmods site. Some people like it for the looks and say it is easier on the firing thumb/finger. Some people don't like it, saying it locks the button inadvertently or for the reason slowmovingtrain had the problem. I have one Grand with it, one without, but have no real preference. Here is a picture - Left one with the button, right one without the button:

Even if Rob has addressed and fixed the problem for future buyers of the button cover, there are old ones out there still, so there may be this same problem showing up from time to time. If you buy a REO from the classifieds and it has a button cover, chances are it's one that can be pushed down too far and "freeze up" the firing mechanism. So....it's good for all of us to learn from these instances so we can help the next person. Thanks for the update...it helps us all assist future newbies.
