Hey REOnauts,
It's been a few years since I've traveled these halls. I used to have quite the Reo collection, but moved on to fancy genesis atties and the super-rare mod world. I'm back in full force now with a couple Grands and BFRBAs, but I've got a pretty frustrating issue. I just got a brand new REO from Rob today (I love the feeling of a Brand New REO) with an RM2. I spun up a nice coil, primed the wick, and it hits like a champ with these upgraded internals.
The problem is squonking... After my bottle is about 1/5th from full it basically stops working. I've checked for obstructions, tried it without a coil, cut my juice from 75VG to 50/50 and I just can't get a drop of juice on the deck without pressing ridiculously hard and long. I'm talking enough force of the thumb to dent drywall, for about 8 seconds. I tried cutting one of my tubes on an angle and I couldn't really see a difference.
Any thoughts? Or is this just the price you pay to have a killer bottom-fed atty on a sexy REO these days?
P.S. Glad to see so many familiar faces still kicking around.
