As Rob said... The stock reos run sub-ohm just fine if maintained. For me, the upgraded contacts allow me to run higher resist with the same end result (heat and flavor) at a lesser drain on the battery.

I saw somewhere than anything below 0.5 would melt or damage the spring, is this true? I don't really want to push the limits of my Reo when I first got it lol.

Many experience spring sag, and possibly collapse at about .4. Margin for error gets pretty small at that level, I.e. Fresh battery might sag the spring at .5. Make sure you test the internal resistance of your ohm meter by touching the leads together, and factor that in.

So i have a grand and mini 2.1 and am waiting for upgrades before I purchase my next reo.

Grand or VV is the question...or fight for woody?

Well if you want the VV or wood the upgrade won't really mean anything. The upgrade is more for the sub ohmers. I'm waiting for the upgrade to get a LP TRA Grand. My AFC Cyclone is waiting on it too.

I couldn't wait. I taxed two springs and two buttons. I had to improvise.

I'd be really wary of that extra spring you got in there. Looks like an accident waiting to happen if it drops out?

It can't fall out. I've tried tugging it out, won't budge. I put it in there before screwing down the top section. With the pressure from the button and contact it can't move at all. The contact is from an electrical outlet 2 prong to 3 prong adapter, very very stiff in the reo. The spring is just a little extra pressure to make sure it stays off the battery just in case. So actually I'm more concerned without the spring rather than with
