Just got to work....disaster has struck!

[tmel]

Just got to work....grabbed a push pin to fiddle with my wick and coil a bit as it wasnt perfect from last night...and I snapped a leg out of a post. :-(

I was able to move the broken kanthal piece enough to make contact with the post and it still fires, if im gentle enough....I might just make it through the day!

I always have a backup something or other in my car for just that reason. Pay close attention to the temperature of your battery, a short in the system can be real hard on a battery.
Might have to take a long lunch!

Yeah...ill be extra careful today.

The broken leg is mashed down and touching the ceramic base and the end is barely sticking in the hole, lol.

So from now on, you'll have a pre-wound, pre-wicked coil, and some nail clippers and a screwdriver in your desk... and a 1.5Ω disposable atty in your vehicle.

A prebuilt rba in a ziplock in each vehicle you roll in is also a great fail safe.

I would say a carto in each vehicle but I tried a carto a few months back and once you go rba it's hard to go back

Note: I've never had to use a backup. In over a year of REOs, I've never had one let me down and I dont carry anything but just one fully loaded grand when I leave the house.

 

[tmel]

Yeah...lesson learned.

I am either going get a few cheapo 1.5 ohm atomizers or another RBA....I might just wrap a bunch of coils and keep some spares around, might be the easiest thing to do lol.

Maybe a gas station disposable in the glove compartment, just in case. Good luck with delicate vaping today!

It's happened to me. I carefully un did 1 wrap on that side to make the leg longer and screw it into the post

I still have four coils in my desk at work from September. I sort of got on a kick...

I rarely use them, they are all 1.6-1.9 ohm. But they are there if I ever need, pre wicked. And there are white cloud fling minis in my desk and laptop bag. I gotta sell those, can't remember the last time I touched one...my paranoia has subsided. Having a cottom ball around has been much more useful to me. Glad you got yours working!

^^^ This is exactly what I did when that happened to me at work a while back.^^^

I had my other Reo with me so it wasn't an emergency or anything; just the principle of the thing....

 

[Vapeaddikt]

agreed extra batteries fully charged along w/ a spare RDA in the car. Sounds like its at least firing so hopefully you should be fine.

 

[tmel]

Working like a champ with a bum leg! lol

 

[yaypudding]

I don't touch my coils unless i have the tools to make a new one.

Wisdom to live by!

 

[NicoHolic]

Here's another piece of advice... if you're going to rewick at work, take it outside to dry burn the coil.

 

[Wickeddeuce]

Still waiting on being a reonaut but with my genny on my svd i keep my pt2 in the car...

Proper planning yields proper results, not trying to be mean, i do this mostly because i am a constant victim of Murphy's law

 

[buckethead]

I keep an njoy in the glovebox. They're terrible but they work in a pinch. I think I'll take some advice in this thread and get a cheap atty to replace the njoy.

 

[NicoHolic]

Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

 

[Raynman]

Yep the seven P's.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

simplest solution is to carry two Reos, then you always have a backup.
