Thanks for the link Rickajho. I only have a couple atty's laying around. Another Odin that isn't bottomfed, then I have my CLT V2 Plus that I keep on my IPV3. I'm getting the hang of it where I can squonk without even looking and I must say, three times in a row I did really well haha. Maybe I'm a quick learner with this.

MsLoud, I saw your name on that roll call thread. Without getting too personal, are you from Northern or Southern Alabama? I'm close to Mobile.

Fishcakes, I usually like having back ups. Not sure if I'll ever get to the point Russ is at with 4 haha, but I'd like another one at least. I'm not easy on mods, so I'm hoping stories and threads I've been reading hold true on durability.

Oh, the durability aspect is definately true. I work construction and my reo is always on me. Ive dropped it off 10 ft ladders, on concrete, mashed my leg with a pipe while the reo was in my pocket, crawled through ceilings with my reo bangin into stuff in my pocket, and my coworker actually smacked it out of my hand with a pipe wrench once(accidentally). Rob makes a very durable product. I think youll be suprised to see how well it holds up:)

it took me like 30 minutes with my dermal and a pair of pliers but I converted my tobeco tobh clone ($20) to bf using fatdaddyvapes bf kit ($5). (Had to dremel out the insulators to make them fit on the post and screw). It wasn't terrible and it works great! Tried to do it on a fast tech stillare clone, and that was a bust after messing with it for 2 hours. too much distance between the top of the deck and the bottom of the inside of the 510 connector. oh well, it was a $10 atty.
That said, I'll be buying some of chowderheads mods like I said previously :) ... just not in the next few months :)

I'm usually just mentally counting seconds and as the bottle gets lower I add another second or so to the squeeze time. Every 10-30 minutes? haha when my IPV3 I was going through that routine every 3 pulls. I can get a good 7-8 on the reo now. It's a great feeling.

I was thinking of my veritas on my hana clone built around 1.4 single coil with readyxwick.. It sips instead of gulps the juice down :)

It's really hard to break a Reo - on purpose. The two most common things new users do to break a Reo:

Button mashing - which bends or breaks the firing pin. You don't need to gorilla the fire button on a Reo. If it seems like something isn't firing right mashing on the button isn't the fix for any problem.

Messing with the 510 - it's not adjustable and if you try to fiddle with it you risk breaking the seal inside - resulting in a leaky mess. If you have a problem with an atty not making contact get to us here first before you hoople the 510.

Don't think I have ever seen a report of someone stripping the threads on a Reo 510. Anyone?

Really not a lot that can be messed up here. :)

Thank you Filthy-Beast
and I can understand that rickajho. I noticed that the firing button requires barely a push to fire it. I've never messed with 510 connections, but that is a good thing to note that it isn't adjustable. I think that's what I like about the Reo, it's such a simple mod, so there's only a handful of things that may go wrong.
