Let's Talk Hardware

[MrPicC]

Only the VV Grand, which is now only obtainable through the classifieds. Rob was not satisfied with the electronics he was getting from BozzPro. I have two, one for over a year and a half with no complaints. Rob has high standards, after all his name (and initials- R E O)are on the products.
The new thing is REOS are now setup for sub-ohming. The battery springs, which collapse as a last-resort dead short protection, are now good down to 0.2 ohms. The contacts are upgraded, now copper beryllium gold plated (what ever that means) and the firing buttons are now high-temperature plastic.
Rob is also making Low-Profile (juice cup) to accommodate larger rba's, and something called Super Light.


Looks Like This..View attachment 351204 Super Ugly to me, but others might like it...

Super lights are awesome. I absolutely love my super light low profile.

Also this happened the other day with the new contacts..

What happens when you have a bad insulator on a tank and sheet moves...
It's fine though I took my least loved REO and used it for parts. Button even melted a bit so I'm down one.

So I went to the B/M today to talk some vape. They've moved into a bigger nicer store this week. Another guy I've talked to before was there and he gave me a 2 inch sample of ReadyXWick. It's soft ceramic wick made by a company here in town. Just looked it up so I'm passing the info along. Think I'll put it in my A7 and give it a go. It's hollow so I have it on a paperclip like the guy said he does to wrap. This may have possibilities over cotton.

This is the site.

This is a burn test done to the wick.

Ceramic was hot for a short while and kinda faded. It was too brittle.

I have 2 rm2s and 2 cyclones.
Traded my LP rm2 for the atomic and that was a bad trade.. Very bad ... Love my rm2s and cyclones equally.
I'm going to wait on picking up another tank till Rob releases his modded tanks he's releasing this week.
For now I swapped all parts from my white REO and put in my LP. My white REO might need to be sent as I want a part not available on the site, but regardless it'll be fixed eventually. 4 in rotation is honestly more then enough.
Papaw have you picked up any of the bento bottles? I have a ton on order to attempt to use in my grands, but all of the smaller 6ml for minis and mini woodys aren't going to be used. Your welcome to a few to test if you like.
9ml in a grand is absolutely necessary for my work day. Trying to only bring bare essentials in the steaming hot truck.

I see that. Not sure papaw upgraded to the new beryllium contacts but they make a tremendous difference.

micro coils. On all my REOS, just in case anyone is interested....
Using 1/16'' drill bit, wrap the coils tightly together. Install, trim excess from backside of posts, and do an Ohms check. If good, steady ohms readout, preheat then very gently squeeze together with tweezers. Fire a couple more times, do second Ohms check, then thread wicking into coil.
Coils up off of deck high enough to allow juice / air flow. Cotton wicking exits coil opposite end from feed/ drain whole, leaving whole unrestricted. Situated like this, the coil should be directly behind air hole when top half is screwed on. Works for me.

No new contact. Same as I received it over a year ago. Still works great.

Nice build PapBrett. Can't get enough pics and illustration on building the REO Grand. I'm really thinking about getting one. Right now, I'm dripping the IGO-L with the same 1/16 coil build with sterile cotton. This build would definitely be the build I'd use in the REO Grand.

Gotta say BK's coil jig worked quite well , first time I've ever wrapped a perfect microcoil without torching or fire and compress , makes coil wrapping easier and more precise , two thumbs up on that idea BK .
