That doesn't look safe.
Umm without the fuse... What will pop if your battery goes AWOL?

Not that my batteries had.
Not that any of my batteries ever had. I'm a worry wort though. Still don't look safe.

Nah, but I have the button adjust back to it's a longer throw to the battery. Plus I don't pocket my mods as I have a special little holder to it on my towmotor so I'm not worried about accidental firing. It's more of an I want to try this cause it's sturdier then a fuse, then anything else.


ETA: there is nothing that will pop. That's why pdib says when he sends it, your forgoing any type of safety regulation. But if you have a mod that doesn't use a hot spring, you don't have any protection in that mod either. So you just have to be really conscious of what your doing.

WHOA!!!! How do they do that?!

Seriously! I want to know!!! (I'm going to make one, put it on my kitchen counter and squirt ketchup all over... then hide when hubby comes home. Wonder what he'll say?)

I kin'a figured some of your fancy mechs might not have hotsprings, Imedic. BTW, with an AW 1600 or a Samsung 20R (and others), you could pocket fire a .3Ω coil til the cows come home. (running your battery down below safe voltage is another story, as is melting your .........; but a fuse may not protect against that either, generally speaking).

.. The only problem I see with wood mods and battery failure is the high heat resistance of wood.

compared to a metallic mod, it will take a bit of time before you'll feel your the wood heating up.

LOL, that would be like putting Nad's on your ....nads

Correct, but you can certainly kill a battery that way, and the mod will get hot due to the atomizer on top (usually a dripper for me) heating up and transferring heat through out the mod itself. And yeah I don't think I have a single mod, minus the REOs, that have any sort of protection other then venting for the tube. All of mine use contacts to make the connections instead if a spring.

He'll say something along the lines of..."My wife's head is in a jar!!!!... .... ... cooooooool.."

Calling Milkman

We never got your issue resolved since you had to go to work or bed one (I don't remember which)
Did notice that you need to change the batteries in your meter, but I don't think that had anything to do with it.
Lets come back here since pdib didn't mind and several heads are better than one.

(maybe we need some fleas)

Gone for 5 days on vacation and am now 500 posts behind on this thread!!!
Did you get the pm I sent last Thursday?
I have not been back to revisit the reos yet but will tomorrow. Not sure what else to do, the only parts left to change are the center post, center post insulators and the 510 female connector itself.

Lol. If you actually return your left handed Allen key you might be a future Darwin awards finalist.

Hi Lex!

ooh, and please don't mind the spastic cat


DIBI DANCE TIME!!!!

Unlikely.

I liked my fuse mod on the Reo Grand. Saved me some trouble this weekend. My coil migrated out to the top cap after a few drops in the yard and caused a short. Popped in spare fuse that was next to bottle and I was back in the fog.

I think it would be handy to find a way to incorporate standard off the shelf fuses into an OliveR without tools. Really liked the resettable fuse deal. Goal of no tools needed to change fuse would be pretty neat.

Did I just say "neat"?

I am at a loss at this point. Maybe I missed something obvious (snake). Best to recap here what the circumstances were and what remedies you tried at each point for all eyes to see and contemplate.

Is there good connectivity from firing pin to 510 center pin on the reo?

I went back and glanced through the beginnings of the Milkman affair. Not super clear; but . . . .

It sounds like the kind of situation where we could take stabs at it, guesses, one after the next, and you would try them, report back, we'd take another stab . . ..

What really needs to happen, Milkerman, is you need to go over your REO, the entire path of the current; check it (visual inspect.), clean it, snug it down. Start with the spring in the bottom of the mod. Is it partially collapsed? Remove the little screw. Clean the screw, clean the hole, clean the spring plate. Reassemble. Pull your juice bottle and your delrin baffle and run hot water through your 510. Check it for wick-fluff, etc. Check it for wiggle (broken or hairline fractured 510+post). Check your button. Is it 1/2 melted? etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, that fuse mod in the REO was pretty dang clever! Like to shake hands with that guy some day. (SeaNap, ChrisEU, annnnnnnnnnnd . . .. what'shisface)

I just heard that you shouldn't judge a man 'til you've walked a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away when you insult him . . . .. and you've got his shoes.

Perhaps, when hiking in the wild, one should set up their Mod with a BeCu bypass (I kid .. . . no really . . .you'd never catch me vapin' like 'at.). That way, when you blow your face off, your screaming won't annoy anyone.








(neat vid!)

Not to mention that, if your battery goes thermal, you could pro'ly cook your wieners on it.

Two reos same issue and possible same cause.
As for possible same cause both had a cyclone on them that I replaced the Allen screws with Phillips head screws. Somehow along the line fubared and the screw heads were touching when problem started. Not sure if related but did happen.
Both mods started by not "hitting" as they should. No th and no vapor volume. Good readings at battery and at 510 connector (no Atty installed) but then horrible reading at atty posts (Atty installed) So for rest of story I am talking about only one REO trying to fix one at a time.

Took apart and washed everything.
Put rm2 on so I don't make same mistake and take out a variable. Still poor Atty post reading
Button was melted so replaced. No change in Atty reading.
Changed spring, no change in Atty ready
Inspected 510 post insulator no visual damage to post or insulator.
Changed "leaf" peice that makes contact with battery via button. Much better reading for about 10 tokes then back to same horrid reading.
Gave up, grabbed a couple buddies made the 6 hour drive to Nashville TN and spent my next two or three dibis worth of money on a weekend drinking binge.
Back now, sober and lighter in the wallet but still stumped with the bad hitting reos.
I think that about sums it up.

FYI using twisted 28 ga at .6ohm and have tried several different batteries all with the same results.
