How the Grand works

[jifjifjif]

OK, so I think I have this right, but I figured this may be a useful thread for others to read down the road as well. It may just help someone diagnose an issue they are having.

How does the REO Grand work?

Let me see if I have this correct........................................................................................................................................

The button gets pressed and makes contact with the positive end of the battery. Under the "secret delrin panel" there lies the other half of the firing pin, attached to the center post of the 510 atomizer connection. The negative end of the battery rests on the spring. The spring is connected to the body of the Grand and electricity runs through the body of the Grand to the outer portion of the 510 connector thus completing the circuit (when an atomizer is installed)

I think a drawing might help here, but I have neither the skills nor the software to accomplish such a task.

So, is there actually electricity passing through the Grand and if so, why do we not feel it in our hand when vaping? Is it because it is such a low voltage? Does the electricity pass through the inside of the body and not on the outside where we hold it?

Am I correct here or am I too sleep deprived to make any sense?

Thanks, REOfriends.

No if you pull the "secret panel" off you will see a plastic cover over the peice of metal that makes the connections

Yes the button press down on the firing pin and pushes it to the top of the battery. Yes the negative side of the circuit runs through the body of the Reo, since you are not touching both positive and negative no current can flow through your body.

The electricity will flow through the area with less resistance. Your hand has a lot more resistance than the body of the reo. So it only flows through the body. When you start working up the scale of voltage and amps you will be shocked. But not from any battery we put in our mod.

Thank you for the info, guys. I have a clear understanding now.

I thought it went more like this. You press down on the button that is attached to one of the magic porcupine's quills and he gets so mad he starts to steam up and you vape it up. Was I mislead?

lol almost spit my first cup of coffee at these 4 monitors staring at me at work while reading this... i was hoping this is how my first reo would work when it gets to me!
