Hybrid Atty Issues.

[MAlzado]

Just got my second order of these.
The first order had 1 DOA & 5 that tested well out of spec (hi) when tested after use.

Second package all tested BEFORE use, on a Provari.

6 BF 1.5 ohm atties ALL test at 1.9 or 2.0 ohms. 1 is DOA... again.
3 BF 2.0 ohm atties test at 2.2, 2.4, & 2.5!

Me cranky.

Hey MALzado, Send me a PM and we will figure it out!

Thanks BB.

These things have just killed my SECOND Reo. Below is the link with the story. In my opinion the BF Hybrid atty should not be used on Reos.

Hey Bruce is this true, because I'm using BF HB on my Reo and don't want to fry it. Thanks, Hub.

I am reading the Reo thread too. I have had no problems, but I see there is something to this on Reo's.
I would use the top feeder on it or make sure the contact on the bottom is in place. I am in talks with my supplier about this.

What do you mean by "in place". Thanks.

I'm just sending a PM

But I had an atty short out my REO also.

Seems that some are finding the connector at the bottom is a sticking a bit out. This can be fixed by pushing it down on a hard surface.

Please note a thread on the Reo issue...

I will have Grands on the site Wednesday 7 pm eastern time I am close to the finish sanding the lot of woodvils and mini woodvils Just to set things straight all the mods on my site Have been rebuilt center pins pulled and set to a proper height.There will be no issues with the center pins on any of the new mods. If you run the new hybrid atomizers designed for the vmod on your Reo you do so at your own risk. You will be charged for the repair if you put one of these atomizers on your mod and cause damage .

I tried pushing down the center pin prior to fitting as advised here and a couple of other threads, but nonetheless it did short out my Reo mini.

I'm not sure if my Reo had one of the bad connectors, or if I did over-torque the atty (I definitely did not insanely grind it in..) but from my experience I can say just pushing the pin in alone will not eliminate all chances of shorting out your Reo.

Just a word of caution...

I tried to push it down flush and there was no way that was going to happen it went in a little but still stuck out noticeably. I feel a little duped here when HB atty came out it said to order the Bf if you have a bottom feeder and I do a Reo. It did not say just order BF if you have Vmod. I'm ordered 4 BF HB's, live and learn I guess.
