I do love the new Mini 1.0's as well. Three of them have become my daily drivers with Chalice III's on them. I like my old 2011 OG Mini as well, but not as much with a Hornet on it (a Chalice doesn't fit into it) so it seldom gets used. Am preferring the Mini/Chalice combo to the point that most of my other Reos are not seeing as much use as they were. The "newness" might wear off some, but 1.0's will always be in my daily routine from now on. I have been pondering what colors my next couple will be. TRB, Hammertone, Orange/Black and even the fingerprint magnet polished brass have been calling my name. Have also been considering how many more Chalice III's I'm going to need eventually to have them on all my Mini 1.0's and Mini 2.1's. Currently I have 7 Chalice for 9 Mini's that can run them, so up to a half dozen more maybe. Since I discovered Reos I've been getting quite fond of bread and water, an occasional can or two of beans.
After using this tumbled brass one all day, there is just something that seems better about it, maybe better conductivity? I am not sure what it is, but I like it.
Well like you, I am into the juice DIY thing, so I have a bunch of mods loaded up with different juices, right here in front of me, and with different mods, the flavor of each juice, can taste a bit different, in another mod and topper. I must say though that I find myself using the REO's more than the other's.

The tumbled raw finishes have always been my favorites on the metal Reos, just love the soft feel of them. Have 4 TRA Reos so far, no TRB's yet but do have some TRB doors I use as replacements on some of my other metal Reos.
BTW, another new thing I just tried in one of my new Mini 1.0/Chalice combo's that I've never tried in any Reo before... I just installed a reducer tube in the White one. Makes for easy short squonks without flooding the Chalice. That happens sometimes if I am not paying close enough attention when I squonk these Baby Reo/Chalice combo's, especially in the wee hours of the night when my mind is in full use elsewhere. Will run it through tonight and if still all thumbs up in the morning I'll put them in all my 14500 Mini's running Chalice atty's. Don't normally ever have the problem in the Mini 2.1/Chalice combo's. But they all run bigger form coils, more wick with much lower ohms, and my LDLH's keep them clearer than the smaller form/wick and higher ohm coils on the Mini 1.0's.
yeah, I've usually had 1 mod, 1 topper at a time, so one juice at a time. It's nice to have two going, and hopefully soon to be 3
I noticed that there is a 510 repair kit on the site that says for all mini's, will this kit work for these 14500's? I am also wondering if the springs for metal mods will fit these, I need to order some extra springs.
Thanks

Thanks

You need this one if it has the old 510. Reo mini -mini 2.1- 2.0 repair kit All springs for metal REO's will fit.
Mine have the new 510's on them, so I thought it would be this one.
Reo Mini repair kit adjustable 510
The springs are what I really need to get, but I thought it might be a good idea, to get a few of these kits as well.
Thanks
KAS
Yes those are the ones you need for your adjustable 510. And any of the metal springs will work too..
