New Springs for Mini Reo

[lickwid]

What's up everyone?

So I blew out my spring (apparently by using a ....ty atty), anyway, I need a new one, and I see that there on some on the reo mod site, but they are $4, and shipping is $25, and tbh I'll just sell it before I pay 30 bucks for a new spring lol.

So I'm wondering if there is somewhere else I can get these, or someone who can ship me one for cheaper than 25 bucks

Any advice? Thanks.

Sell it?? Just the thought of that makes me clench my Jackson close to my chest and keep him safe!! Hope you get squared away soon.

I'm under the impression its the same as the spring they use in the Radioshack battery boxes. If it's not one of the newer ones covered by the "mod support" thread above, you can probably snag one of those to use until you have to order again from the REOs site (when you order your 2nd one for "backup" )

You should send the mod in I no its not what you want to hear but I really think I should have a look at the mod. The springs in the metal mods are all drilled and taped

Thanks everyone for the advice. I contacted Rob and will be shipping it to him soon for a free repair, so that's pretty sweet. Thanks again!

I'm a little fuzzy on the $25 shipping. Where did you see that?

I've ordered from Reo maybe a half dozen times & shipping is like $3! Maybe 5-6 if it's a larger (mod type) order.

Have a look at the OP's location and you'll see the reason...

Can someone please explain what this spring problem is. I don't get it????

 

[MAlzado]

The spring is the "fuse", (safety component) so to speak. If a direct short occurs, it will collapse from the heat, breaking the circuit.

Thanks...............

It's a sign that a short has occurred. The battery spring is part of the REO fail safe. If you get a short in the atomizer, the battery spring collapses and the battery drops down and breaks contact. That is why we don't like to see batteries used that are too big for the battery compartment and fully compress the spring.

EDIT: MAlzado said it better
