Got my kit today, didn't have any problems with the install... but man does it hit hard! I think I'll be adding a wrap or two to my coils.
Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

It won't hurt, I'll still use noalox or order Deoxit and use that.
The big benefit I expect is not that it won't need Noalox but that I won't need to do a cleaning and noalox every week, once a month of every two will be great.
I was wondering about the nipple length but figured if people are willing to take the risk so be it
Got the kit in the mail today, after almost giving up on that stupid insulator on the 510 connection, the rebuild is complete. Oh how much harder she hits. Put a .3 ohm 26g parallel microcoil on at first, just a tad to warm for me in the Cyclone so I went with a .5ohm microcoil...she's a chuckin the vapor.
I've had a very busy day so I haven't had time to post. I did install the kits in 2 of my Reos. Wow they hit hard. I may have to adjust my coils. But I think I'll give it a couple of days.
It's hard to believe a couple of pieces of different metal can make such a big difference, but they do. These are like completely different mods now. I'm impressed.
Rob you truly are the Mod Master.

On the site it's saying
"ll the mods on the site have upgraded copper beryllium gold plated contacts
The push buttons have been upgraded to a high heat plastic
Have the springs been upgraded to the gold spring?
Is there anything missing from the units for sale that are in the Sub Ohm Kit?

Meanwhile, in Metropolis...
Mama calmly sits back, biding her time, waiting for the widows (of the over-enthusiastic lung-burners) to post upgraded Reos for a pittance in the classys...
ok, i'm actually waiting to get off my lazy .... to send a Reo in to get upgraded. can't do it one-handed.

This info is gold!
3.74V at the posts with a 0.39 ohm coil = 9.59 amps flowing
Voltage drop within the mod (not counting the battery) 3.92V - 3.74V = 0.18V
Resistance within mod 0.18V divided by 9.59 amps = 0.019 ohms.
19 milliohms for the whole mod including the battery spring, firing pin and 510 connection to the atty! That is very very good. Awesome, Rob!
Yes i think I will do that - after several attempts , the thin gasket kept getting rolled up over the pinhead and got weak and broke in two pieces. I will just send it the kit and mod to you to be installed. Ill pm you .Thank You.
Do you all notice that your fire button has less travel to make contact with the battery with the new firing pin or is it the same as it was?
The tab on the firing pin sticks down further making the throw on the fire button shorter.
I have 2 kits on the way, but I'm going to return them to Rob when they get here. I'll put a note in the box asking him to polish the contacts and return them to me. Rob loves to polish. I should have thought to ask when I made my order.
So, noalox will not cause any issues/degrading of the new contact material ?

Polish the contacts? What will that do?
You won't want to polish with anything other than a microfiber cloth, any abrasive polish would wear away the plating.
And before this gets out of hand...
DO NOT POLISH, FILE, OR USE CORROSIVE/ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON YOUR CONTACTS.
I'm just picking on Rob. He has commented more than once that he hates polishing metal Reo bodies, and the thought of him polishing tiny little strips of metal and battery springs amuses me. I'm kind of twisted.
Carry on.
