Ordered another Reo...

[Spydro]

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with this one... LP/SL Grand. Not sure if I like the SL's, but I'm going to try one. What helps it along... it's another TRA, my favorite finish (TRB is second). Should have it next week mid week, then can send the new LPG CV (#10) with the out of spec adj 510, and my other LPG's in for adj 510's. Love it when my plan for 2015 starts to come together.

Good choice

Congrats Spydro I love the tumbled mods myself cant beat the natural finish

 

[dbrandt01]

Beautiful I can't help but love that TRA, I absolutely love the SL design

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

Well, that didn't take long to solve your retrofit puzzle

And a fine, fine, solution it is. Those SL TRA's are the kitty's derrière.

 

[oplholik]

think you are going to like it. I have one, and of my 4 Grands, if you put a gun to my head and said, which is your favorite, I think it would be the TRA SL.

 

[SITS]

Fantastic choice Spydro. I love mine.

Eta: I will be sending her in for retrofit sometime in the future. I am in no hurry though. Sometime after the Woodvil run.

That TRA SL looks cool! Looking forward to seeing pics of it "all loaded up and ready to Rock!"

That my friend would be one of my top two favorite mods. The other being a hammertone in SL/LP.

very nice

I came close to buying a Mini 2.1 TRA as well, either a LP or LP/SL. But I have a Mini 2.1 CV I don't even use, so decided I have no need for anymore Mini Metal's. I use one of my 2 baby 14500 or the mini 18490 Woodvil's instead when I want smaller/lighter weight, run them with one of my RM2's or RM3's, sometimes the IGO-S to still get some use out of those atty's. They're for walks and running errands, so the lessor batts and 3ml bottles are enough for those uses.

to you Spydro, can't wait to see a new family pic. (hint, hint)

 

[Doffy]

good, you didn't have enough reos lol

 

[Spydro]

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Will try to get a new Reo family picture when this one comes... before I send some of the others back to the spa.


I have slowed way down buying Reos since the flash start of 9 in about two months... only 2 more since. Same with the bf atty's with already having more than 2 for each Reo. Will need more LP somethings though just for the additional 3-5 Nuppin's I'll be getting from run 2. The plan is for all of those to be wood, but may try to snag a Resin or two as well.

Did I mention today how much I love my Reos, Nuppin's, Cyclones, RM2's and RM3's?

Congrats, the SL will grow on you. I wasn't sure at first, but just ordered my 2nd SL a couple of weeks ago.

I never got around to fessing this up before... I'm a Bonehead!!!

Because I finally took the time to troubleshoot my VVG a while back. I opened it up, took the Fluke to it and found all was working just fine in it... without an atty on it. It was just a coil problem... the VVG is back in service. My first excuse is buying so many Reos so fast I just set it aside for later. Second excuse (the coil problem)... I have something like 8 RM2's, 4 that at a glance are look a likes. In the shuffle way back when I put the wrong RM2 on the VVG, one with a very low SO coil installed that it wouldn't fire. When I took that RM2 off the VVG back then it fired just fine on the Mini 2.1. I never even thought about it's coil... the RM2 that was normally on the VVG was built high ohm specifically for it. Or that I mixed the RM2's up. Yes I'm a bonehead, for not checking the RM2's resistance when I have 2 atty ohm testers and 2 Fluke VOM's between my computer desk and vape work desk.

Anyway, with the correct RM2 back on it I have been enjoying the original VVG again, getting some use out of the dozen 18350 batts I have again. I had a little trouble when I picked it up at first after so long without it though. It feels near the size of a Grand, it's metal, but in hand I couldn't seem to find the fire button on top that I was usually reaching for. Yep, a bonehead.

dont feel bad I have had customers ship there mods to me from over seas . The problem they were trying to run a really low ohm coil . Even with me asking them what ohm coil they were using and explaining the the mod wont run really low ohm coils it will auto shut down they still send them in . This happens in the states as well

boyhowdy, what a beautie!

Congrats spydro. I really like my TRA SL. The tactility is just off the chain. Come to think of it I really like all my mods . I only have one all SL but like to run SL doors on the rest for now. Any new additions will be all SL
