Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

[super_X_drifter]

I suspect that the button may be prone to melting with a stock firing pin and spring when running sub 1 ohm builds and repeatedly press fire for extended durations?

I noticed it on one of my grands (slight melt). This is when I got 27 ga and built a .8 ohm coil and started to use the mod to fire / squeeze coils. I originally did it for an extended duration but have since learned to fire the coil only until it glows before squeezing it with pliers, not fire it for like 10 seconds, squeeze like 5 times in succession.

I really have no way to prove this theory because I'm running 1.5 ohms, 28 ga, fuse mod and rarely fire for longer than 3-4 seconds. My buttons are flawless and I get no arcing.

I like seeing the 28 with 1.5 ohms.
Just little things amuse this little mind. Especially since I try for that range with my micro coils.

Alright folks, I got a hundred and one things going on today and don't have time to search all around so a little help is greatly appreciated.
I just realized last night I forgot to reapply noalox to the firing pin after giving her a bath earlier in the week.
I'm running a 0.6 ohm twisted 28awg micro and noticed some sparking. I want to take everything apart to make sure the button isn't starting to melt - noticed a little more resistance than usual when depressing the button.
Do I just take that little screw out of the black plastic part above the battery and feed bottle? Is there a video tutorial someone could point me to so I don't end up taking the whole damn thing apart?
Many thanks.

Be very careful putting that screw back in. Just snug it lightly. If it strips, your screwed

. . .. and your screw isn't . . . .

Thanks, just what I needed to see. Wanted to make sure I didn't have to disassemble the juice bottle and all. Removed the screw, dropped the black plate to the top of the juice bottle, and could get to the firing pin perfectly. Button is perfectly fine, I must've gotten noalox above that lip on the delrin button when I first applied. Scraped the excess gunk off and all is well in the universe again.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm always very careful when screwing with/into plastic.

It is actually where the screw mates with the female receptor on the aluminum (REO) that could strip if too much force is applied

Aha, good to know.

 

[bushmaster]

I have a question--maybe its been stated before in this thread but this is a long thread so I thought I'd just blurt it out.
Will the the new upgrade kit be of value to those of us who don't vape sub-ohm?
Thanks.

 

[supertrunker]

Yes, because you will lose less of your battery life in heat than before so it will last longer.

Theoretically.

Good question Roger. How are you doing? I think perhaps there might be less filing and Noalox so the contact area will be more reliable. Having said that it really hasn't been much an an issue for me in the past. I think longer battery life as well but how much, I don't know. IT would be interesting to see some tests to see just how much of a percentage increase there will be before battery change. I think vaping a known quantity of juice and checking the voltage of the battery with the standard set up then comparing it to the new by vaping to the voltage of the standard and comparing how much juice was used with the new set up, if that makes any sense.

I just ordered two kits. They should be here by Tuesday.

Or was I dreaming?

 

[bushmaster]

Well, even if there's only a theoretical improvement, I'll still be all over it. With my pliable imagination and gullibility when it comes to new vaping paraphernalia and their alleged qualities, I'm sure I'll perceive it as well worth the money.

I'm with ya bushmaster. There is no one more blissfully ignorant than me.

Stop that! I had a palpitation when I read that first line.

i beg to differ...

Wanna have a dufus duel, D.

 

[Justice]

I was pondering buying a couple of these but am now saying WHEN WILL THEY BE READY

 

[ukeman]

i really should be learning about the Reo and watching that vid and comments… ugh; its documented.

I will say that my .40 ohms setup is killing the spring in my new Reo Grand and that i need the sub ohms kit……

………… ………………. so when its ready.


I've got a .50 ohms RM2 on my other Grand; par for the course. needs a kit too.
