How about a 26650 AW powered REO Magnum?

How about a 26650 AW powered REO Grande Magnum? Also with a bigger capacity tank. The increased capacity, especially the batttery capacity, would be a real blessing.

Just sitting here on the banks of the Rio Grande dreaming. Ain't no flat lander.

I could handle carrying a 26650 Reo
It'd add a bit of weight and increase the size to it though I'm sure. I think I still have a couple 26650s laying around from when I had a hybrid mod.

x1 I have been waiting for a 26650 reo for years. Hopefully I will be able to get one soon

Some folks are using the square 9ml bottles to add a little more juice, and the 9ml bottles may work better with the new SS 510 as well. Not sure. To get a Reo Grand to 26650 status, I'm guessing the firing pin would have to be re-constructed as it would be difficult to get precise, simultaneous firing for dual batteries. Either re-construct it, or use dual wires. And I'm sure that's something Rob wants to avoid all together.

Longer run time would be good for weekend road trips but one fully charged Samsung 25R will get me thru 2 days and 6mls easily. I vape a 1.2ohm single coil though.

Dual batteries? NO! What in Heck for?

One single 26650 AW like RTD has and a bigger tank. Need a new REO box to contain such. The REO GRANDE Magnum.

Burning .6--.8 Ohms @15-20 watts, +/-.

Sempre Avanti.

I've seen those pictures of HUGE Mods that have dual 18650, or even.. triple 18650 AW's. For some reason, I keep thinking 26650 translates into those BIG Toys.

More arcing issues also

How so, not trying to pick a fight but the arching interests me as I learn more about mechanicals.

 

[coaldriller]

I see a lot of arcing issues regarding flat top batteries, and I have not seen a 26650 nipple top. Maybe thinking out loud

I'd be all for this.
The arcing would be just the same as any other flat top, just requires some maintenance

It's been discussed before but... honestly? Take your Grand and a ruler. Now add about 10 mm to the depth and 10 mm to the width of your Grand and imagine holding onto that all day. Beyond the added weight, do you really want to hold onto something that large all day?

I would in a heart beat. SL option would be the best. Hope Rob makes them so I can get one soon.

Sure would beat carrying an extra battery or two and carrying an extra juice replenishing supply bottle imo.

Have you seen some of the mods kids are using these days? some of them are so large it's laughable...I don't think a 26650 REO would be that big in comparison to some of the robodongs out there

I like the idea of the MAGNUM, but a hell cat even better. Series 18650...wowza!!!!!

 

[Sloth Tonight]

hell cat? I'll give you a hell cat. she screams all day, all night. She's been to the vet and they brag on her health and have no idea why constantly screaming. Definitely from hell, this cat - PM me your addy I'll send her your way

couldn't resist, my cat is terrible

Is she screaming "redrum"?

couldn't resist, given your locale

Yes. Yes, she is. And I'm screaming it back at her.

I disagree. A lot of the regulated bottom feeders like the Sunbox and Galactika are bigger than the Reo and although they are larger they're not THAT much larger. They're actually quite nice. Have you ever held a Peko?
