Thanks mudflap. For some reason I thought the firing pins were different between the grand and mini 2.1. Not a biggy to me because I don't sub-ohm that much (.8ish lol) on my mini but would upgrade anyway.
Holster that paypal button for another moment, I'll check back here in a couple weeks.
Till then stay thirsty and vape on my friends. Also a fuse mod does wonders for the impatient ones
the pins are different, length is on thing for sure. I've only made a pin for my grand, but I know it's longer than the mini2

I did the fuse mod on my Grand and Mini2.1 and wow did it wake these things up. Very good!
It dropped the voltage loss at the atty terminals by about .25 volts on my .8 Ohm coils. Don't seem to be arcing, least not yet. It's been about 3+ weeks with the fuse mod.
So fine.

does anyone have a parts list for the fuse mod? I have only seen bits and pieces from different posts of differnt threads and cannot for the life of me put those all together. Is there a thread that has the mundy one step by step and where to get the parts?
Here's how I did it:
Important things with the auto fuse mod:
Use 10a. Fuse. Here it is in the mod. Notice the words 10 A face up:
You bend the pos leg up and bend the neg leg down.
Here's a pic:
File paint off area where neg leg touches mod.
Place small piece of self stick rubber (like a piece cut from a glass tabletop cushion) between the positive contact and the part of the mod it could contact. Ensure that there is no chance that the pos leg could make contact with any part of the mod or it will not blow if shorted.
Place a similar piece of rubber beneath the pos side to level the fuse (since neg leg is bent down under fuse) and to provide some "spring" in the fuse when battery is inserted. Here's a pic:
Test the fuse by firing and shorting across the posts. It should blow instantly. This is a very important step. Don't forget the step. If it doesn't blow, the positive leg is making contact with something other than the battery. That is no good. The rubber pieces need to prevent positive from contacting any part of the mod.
I keep a spare up by the feed tube
Enjoy the vape

seems simple and no one makes it more evident than SuperX, but I don't get it… doh, so i had someone else do it for me.
but you can see the evolution on the thread in Reo sub forum called Spring… what spring? (sp)

awesome tutorial! thank you! I just have one question. What is the vertical fuse next to the bottlecap for?
nice. that's cool. I will try this as soon as i get some 10a fuses. thanks again!
It's like a turbocharger. Kicks it up a notch. Just kidding. It's where I keep the spare
Did you test the fuse to ensure it blows ?
The sub ohm kits are delayed for a couple weeks . I will post here as soon as I have more info
Don't sweat it Rob, we know it isn't your fault.
Thanks for listening to us throat burners and putting it in motion.
Been lurking. Will order another Trident V2 and drill a hole for the LP Reo Grand, and order one of those sub ohm kits when they come in.
Question: Anyone that has drilled their fav RDA to use on a LP Reo, would you post a pic so I may see where to drill the hole? Also, would 2mm be okay or should it be larger?
No hurry I'm subscribed now.

There may be a size difference in firing pins b/t the Grand and Mini 2.1. I don't know for sure.
No worries, chief. Hold it over their heads and get them to come down on their asking price for the kits. A broken promise should hurt their bottom line, at least a little bit.
I used a dremel on my Patriot http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/511025-patriot-rba-mod.html
i just drilled right thru the centre pin on an igo-w4. Same with igo-s. Dremelled a Scar.
