Hello Reonauts!
I love the simplicity of the REO - and I also love the versatility of the GG Odysseus repairable atomizer. Now I'd love to combine those two pieces and create a rebuildable REO with working bottom feed mechanism.
So I built an Odysseus in dripping mode and put it on the REO Grand in the place of the more common Cisco 306 or Boge carto.
Unfortunately it does not work so easily:
Issue 1: The drip well is too small for the base of the dripping mode Ody. Fully screwed down it chokes the air draw completely.
Issue 2: Although the Ody has an adjustable center pole it won't meet the center pole of the REO, missing it by a millimeter or two.
Result: The REO doesn't fire, but the bottom feeding works in principle - I can see the juice coming up to the coil.
I can make pictures tomorrow to illustrate, but that has to wait until tomorrow, it is too dark now =)
So, my questions are:
How can I extend the REO center pole? It doesn't look like one, but is it a screw?
Is the Woodvil or Woodvil 18490 or (upcoming) VV Woodvil drip cup wider than the Grand one? I don't have a Woody yet, but a 18490 is on the way - or is it, Rob? (I "am" the Luxemburg order =)
Where can I find a 510-510 connector with an open center post, preferrably in Europe? I found this 510 to 510 adapter | extender but it will take a while to reach me.
Does anyone have any other idea to make this work? I'd love a rebuildable REO.
