Ok I have a question. Those green batts I've seen posted the past few pages they are really too long right ??? I took my door off and looked at my Reo at about the same angle and I see way more spring with my AW IMR's

My VTC4's are maybe 0.5mm longer than an AW 1600 mAh.

Is the sparking to be expected, or do we need to do something to eliminate that? I'm fine with it as long as it's not going to hurt anything, but I wanted to be sure.

I tightened the nipple as much as I'm comfortable with (using needlenose pliers and a screwdriver in the 510 connection) but I just checked and all three of mine are putting on a light show. I'm using brand new VTC5s at the moment, but my AW 1600s do it as well.

The difference is insane though. I wrapped two of mine with my usual .6-.7 and they are seriously cooking. I wrapped a 1 ohm for the third and it's hitting better than my old ones did at .6-.7. I think I'm going to have to find a new resistance target a little higher than I'm used to wrapping!

I rebuilt 2 of mine and using vtc5 sonys. No sparking at all from either one. I didnt crank down on that connector either. Just got very snug and let it go at that.. Moved the firing pin to the correct position under the button and everything is fine.. Dont know why youre seeing sparks.. Hopefully someone else does.

Hi Doots, what ohms are you running?

Curses! I've been browsing the site all day looking for something that said "sub-ohm" or similar and instead they were there the whole time, until they sold out and I figured out what I should be looking for. :evil:

I'm not sure I'm smart enough for to shop for Reo accessories!!

yup they will be there. Think they are already loaded and this is them.

When you put your centre post in I wonder if maybe it is sitting too low. Take your atty off very gently push upwards on your feed tube. It won't have to move much but it may be your issue.

This is driving me nuts.first I didn't get it tight enough, vape was off so I tried to tighten up .when I tighten up the nipple to the post and I'm not over tightening it.. Barely enough to get the other part screwed on.. It makes the thin white gasket flake up around the head of the screw and then of course you can't put an atomizer on it. I am on my third thin gasket now, ruined two of them. What am I doing wrong? I watched the video a dozen times.
