So the 0.4V improvement at the bottom was with a 0.7Ω coil? or with a 0.5Ω? Just curious.

Nice work!

Hey Nico, I'm giving you an overall improvement, I posted one too many video since Saturday between part 1 & 2

If I recall I was getting something like 3.34 on a .4, that went to 3.7's? that was my vapping at 34 watts post for sure

EDIT: first entry here:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/465021-my-modded-reo-part-1-vaping-34-watts.html

3.34 went to 3.69, .35 improvement on the spring only on a .4 ohm

btw, yesterday I manage to destroyed a Sony 30A battery on my MKB-TS

That mod DOES NOT have a hotsrping

But the firing button got stuck without me noticing (the inside of the firing rings, were the spring was was utter dirt)

I noticed just because I heard a pssssssssshhhh sound coming from some 30 cms next to me

you know what happened? nohing exploded, battery just internally shorted and is now trash

it just got warm

goes to show that good safe chemistry batteries is the critical part in all this

this is what you get on a failed battery:

Thank you, sir! I've gotten lost in all this great data. :)

anytime man

and an inline volt reader should read a bit higher, after all I'm measuring at the screws on the posts, that on itself is another contact point (and yet another tiny bit of drop)

so it was .35 ohm + on brass post, I'd give it .05 to .1 more on the silver post for the negative only (using stock bar)

Definitely impressed with the difference . I am curious to see how it holds up . You should do another test in a couple weeks I am curious . You do realize for most folks this wouldn't really matter . I did a run of nickel plated mods under load these were very impressive compared to a anodized mod .

Maybe Robert can come up with a REO HO kit for us REOnuts that want to squeeze every bit of power we can! :evil:

I have something different that I've been working on for firing pins on my own Reos. As each one is due for a rebuild I'll install them but mine are not as good as conductors as silver though.

registered supplier??? oooooo.....

got a good feeling about this...

ummm.. need any more investors :)

Not that I plan on becoming a vendor / supplier

although i've always wanted a CNC machine of my own :(

I really don't want to drill a hole in my Reo. Would sanding the coating away from where the spring attaches and maybe trying to find a brass hot spring sorta do the same thing?

Robert - is there coating on the inside where the 510 connector is pressed in or do you remove that?

I would think that you would have to follow the current and clear all contact points of the anodizing to maximize the performance difference.

Please correct me if I"m wrong...I'm learning.
