Newbie REO Grand question..

[zenoland]

Got my REO Grand today. Up to now I've only used EGO/510 e-cigs.

I do not have Noalox. Any harm to using it without applying the Noalox, till I get some? Where would be the best place to find Noalox?

 

[XDoctor]

It should be fine. You can find it at most any home improvement store, or you can order it online.

 

[Nic_Fan]

You sure you didn't get some with your order? Little smear of it in a baby ziplock? You can get a tube at Lowes for 5 bucks or so. Don't think you'd kill it if you used it for a day till you got some.

 

[zenoland]

Oh, yes... A blackish dot the size of a dime. Is that it?

 

[MXBNW]

you can find Noalox at lows or any hardware store, It it is a new REO Grand it should have the noalox alrady applied.
There should have been a little bag of it that came with it.

No no harm will come to you or the mod if you do not us it.

The noalox should be applied to the firing pin.

Did you get a set of instructions If not PM me your Email and I can send you a copy latter today.

 

[zenoland]

Thanks to all! MXBNW, I did get a set of instructions. I just missed the little dime size glob. I'm all set and vaping! Just felt a tad stupid, that's all.

 

[Mudflap]

Dime size is way too much. Just a little dab on the tip of the firing pin with a toothpick is all you need.

 

[zenoland]

Mudflap, I'm referring to the dime size glob that was in the baby ziploc bag; not the amount to apply.

hi and congratulations on your ReoGrand! I missed the mail carrier today have to wait one more day.

I just wanted to add that I found putting the noalox on the firing pin with a toothpick a little challenging... so what i do is place a pinpoint of noalox on the top button of the battery... for me this is much easier than trying to locate the tip of the firing pin.

I hope you are enjoying mega vapor and flavor by now

Personally, I've been using Delilah's method, although not every time I put in a new battery. It's much easier on my old eyes

Good to hear you got it and all is well.

 

[zenoland]

Delilah, I was just sitting here thinking "OMG, I'm in heaven! Is it really true that I won't have juice all over my hands any more? Will I actually vape all my juice rather than lose half of it to leaks and spills?"

PS Thanks for the tip about the alternative way to apply the noalox. That sounds much easier on my aged eyes.

I've never noaloxed any of my REOs ever .... not had one problem since my first one in October of last year.

I figure my firing pin is almost always in contact with the battery anyway .... no time for it to oxidize

I do wipe my battery terminals down with those tiny alcohol swabs often though.

Tim, do you realize the vaping nirvana that you've missed just because of a dab of Noalox?

 

[loft]

I didn't use noalox on my Grand for about a week and it started to arc on the battery whenever contact broke and then got to the point where it would only fire at random -- back to noalox I went and things are fine now.
