Issue with the new 510s?

[MamaTried]

Thanks guys! That makes total sense. I always thought of those shorts, but, I read somewhere about the top cap on the Nuppin touching the base could cause shorts or something. And I was confused on that statement, especially since the v2 doesn't have that cuff at the bottom to stop the top cap.

whatever you read, i don't see how that could possibly hurt, even if true. the topcap connects to the same part of the base that may come into electrical contact with ANY Reo. soo.... nothing is different electrically with the Nuppin' and any other atty, AND nothing is different electrically between the older 510 and the newer ones.

Mr. T will b-slap me shortly if i missed something, tho

or mebbe he'll just do it on principle

Well the wrench method has not worked for me thus far. I can't seem to get the atty tight enough. I pull it out of my cargo pockets and the atty is loose. Not gonna give up though.
On another note, I found the source of my leak. I managed to puncture the feed hose. I couldn't see it unit I went to pull the hose off to check the tightness of the center pin. Replaced the hose...so far so good!!!!!
My only suggestion would be to make the hole in the delrin a little bigger so the hose goes over the tube easier. I used a file and widened mine.

Bro, the feed tube does not need to go up into the Delrin. It stops below it . I have 4 REOs with the new connector and they are hand tightened down so hard that the top caps are the only things that spin when I try to remove one.

Either you are not wrenching down enough (you can't do it with the top on an atty). You gotta take the top cap off and tighten it down good.

Or

You don't have a reverse threaded connector

In this vid I do some hose replacement and 510 adjustment parts. Check em out if you get time

rjeatkrconley may have got a mod with a shorter center post there were a few that made it out of the shop before I caught my guys using the shorter post . If your reading this rjeatkrconley send me a picture of the inside of your mod .

A coil is by its nature attached to the negative outside of the atty and also the the positive centre pin. That centre pin is insulated from everything except the Reo centre pin in the 510.

That's the bit you're missing, because as soon as coil meets atty cap you have a short, because then electricity can bypass the path it's meant to take. Coil = most resistance, so given a chance electricity is the Dennis and Trunker of the physical world and will do the least amount necessary to get from A to B.

No .....slap, i'm too tired!

LOL. no. i get that, but it didn't match the problem as described.


ETA: damn. alays thought ECF edited ".....slap"

There are a surprising number of mostly English terms of disparagement that do not get redacted. I'm gaining a rather good knowledge of them, but it also explains why my infraction list is as long as my list of subscribed threads!

Bollocks to it!

Wow, miss a couple days and pow!!
Rob, you make an awesome product man. It's totally me.
I waited till after you fixed the reverse thread issue to buy my latest reo. It is reverse threaded. The feed tube is plenty long enough. I prolly just need to cut the hose a tiny bit cause its bending at the bottom of the bottle. Yes it has the inverted v cut into it.
Sup, it's just me not tightening the atty down enough. The derringer is so small I have a hard time grabbing the thing, with the top cap and afc off, to wrench it down. Plus I didn't want to overtighten it possibly damaging something. I have 3 reos, but one is out of action and haven't had the funds to get the 510 replaced. I pulled the whatever it is gasket out from underneath the 510 and it leaks constantly. When I have 50 burning a hole in my pocket I will send it in for the 510 and new contacts.
Rob, much respect sir. You build an awesome product. I have no qualms with the new 510, just have to get used to it is all.

The only issue I've had and it happened in shipping not in use. I had all of my older REOs upgraded last week and upon their return, I opened the shipping box and thankfully noticed one of the reverse-threaded grub screws rolling around inside. It had obviously worked itself loose in shipping and would have been a bummer to have lost. Might be something to have as a spare if one were to lose one in the wild. Brew

Same thing with the one I just got back yesterday from a trip for reconstructive surgery, but mine ended up in the carpet. I had to get my reading glasses, flashlight, then down on my hands and knees to find that danged thing. It's hell getting old!

It's hell getting old!

Still, better than the alternative.

 

[Treekiller]

Yep, any day above ground is a good day. Still getting old sucks in some ways, but I can't wait until I get to dirty old man status.

Running upgraded 510 reo lp w/ nuppin v1 had a lil leakage below atty so added o ring now light leakage more like condensation is happening right below magnets on the delrin piece w screw. Seems to be coming out of right below magnets & above delrin. Got some free time coming to take it apart just looking for headstart info. I'm tightening atty etc. Thanks for any help. It's vaping great regardless of leakage/condensation.

I had that same issue on my newest mod and I removed the Delrin insert. There was juice there. So I pulled everything off the mod and washed it out real good. Then I took a pair of pliers and tightened the SS feed tube until the firing pin touched the back wall. I grabbed the firing pin with the pliers and held it on center and tightened the SS tube again.

Put it all back together - new deoxit on firing pin, deoxit under spring (new trick - just loosen the spring so you can get the brush under it) tightened it all back up and hit the switch.

Nothing. I was perplexed and began adjusting the 510, switching attys, batteries. Nothing.

My dumb ayuss didn't fully tighten the spring screw. Doh. I mean it was tight, just not all the way seated / tight.

So I did and ya know what? It don't matter if the base of the spring is straight with the mod - the spring still hits perfectly on the battery. It was game on. No more seepage, my mod is extra clean again and hitting like Tyson about 10 years prior to him snacking on Holyfields ear.

All the above quote but, if you are running a painted or any finished mod other than a TRA, it helps to put deoxit on the beveled head of the spring screw where it contacts the unfinished portion of the mod. The screw head may be the only place the negative contact is connected to the mod unless you have removed the finish under the spring.

Long ago and far away Rob posted this. It was before my Reo time. I had to prove this with my trusty multimeter.

Oh yeah, I got the threads real good

Very nice, thanks! Will do this soon. Guess I need to get brush, will use Deoxit pen for now.

 

[EddieAdams]

Hey, didn't want to make a thread. How do we change the positive contact with the new 510?

Does the lower half unscrew just like old?

Glad I saw this post. I found a little teeny tiny silver thing stuck to the door magnets on mine when I got it. Couldn't see what it was and wasn't sure if it was a part or just extra material.
Been using my REO since Monday without it. Haven't had time to sit down and watch the videos. Guess I need to make time
