just want to add here that I hope my post mentioning rob and how some people are fanatical followers and blah blah blah that I hope that didn't come across as anything negative about rob because that was not what I meant at all. I have a lot of respect for rob and think he's a great guy who runs a spectacular business with great ethics. I've spoken to him several times back and forth about a few different things and he's always been kind and helpful and I think he is a really nice guy, and don't have one bad thing to say about him here at all, just want to make sure that my post didn't come off sounding like I meant anything negative about him he has been good to me and I think he's a good person :)

Hi All, Just thought id let you know , I tried the tip about clipping my spring a bit to shorten the throw and I like the throw much better now and the bottom cap doesnt fall off anymore when I fire it even if i dont use my pinky to support it. I cut off about 1/4 of an inch. When i disassembled the firing button, there was a black goop all in the spring and all over the button. It looked like naolox but I havent put any naolox on it, was that just oxidation build up ? After cleaning and clipping the spring its hitting better. Also , i got in on the last buy of chalices with the 1/16 hole - I am seeing some of you post about your chalices but I have not received mine yet and i didnt get tracking info even though Mark did confirm my purchase. Are the videos being posted with the chalices you got form the last round? I cant wait to get my Chalice and would love to at least get the tracking info

Yeah, I Noaloxed it.

Did you catch the part about Turbocad's juice bottle getting pulled down, and interfering with solid firing? . . . . . could that, maybe . . . . ?

I think there's plenty of demand for both REOs and OliveRs and both Rob and Pete will benefit from each other. Let's face it, no serious vaper is gonna try to get by with just an OliveR. Now an OliveR is anything but delicate and it's easy to clean up but it ain't the kind of mod this kids gonna be takin dirt biking, yard workin or to the beach / pool. Because if I am careless with it and marr it I'm gonna freak. Times like those demand a mod I can go online, order and have a replacement in 2 or 3 days. Same with my REO woodvil.

I definitely agree with this. When I finally get my OliveR (is this the official name or is it the Dibi?), it won't be my daily driver. My Reo will still be my workhorse. The Dibi (or OliveR) is just too good looking (and expensive) for me to lug around everyday and risk dropping around. It'll probably be my "dress PV" for use on special events where I have to dress-up. :D

It's like a dress watch you'd wear on formal occasions, or a Ferrari you'd drive for fun once in a while. Even the guys I know who have multiple Ferraris or Lamborghinis do not use those cars as their daily drives. :D The Reo is just more utilitarian and easy to replace, and it'll survive more than a few drops into pavement. With the upcoming upgraded contacts, I'm sure it'll perform just as well as any other top-end mod.

Quick unrelated dibi question. Trying to diagnos a weak REO. If I am 4.1 Edit: ohm Volts at battery 4.1 at 510 with no Atty what should I be if I install Atty and put ohm meter to each post screw?

If the atty does not have a coil in it you should read the same voltage with and without it.
If it contains a coil, then it would be dependent on numerous factors and could be anywhere from 3.5 to 3.9 or so.
What is the specific thing that is happening?

Its reading 2.1 with a .6 ohm coil installed.
It's just not hitting like it should. No throat hit and not near the vapor volume it should have.

2.1 = something is way off. Since you say .6 ohms, most likely the firing pin needs cleaning and or you have melted part of the bottom of button. You can clean the firing pin without removing the cover, but the button needs the cover removed to really get a good look at it although turning it while watching it inside the cover through the hole will revel damage. Are you familiar with filing and Noaloxing the firing pin?

Yes, the firing pin has been noalexed and filed. I put a brand new button in it cause I melted the last one dry burning the coil, which I replaced last night also.

Argg so frustrating. I have two out of three reos with the same issue. It's not the Atty or the battery cause both work fine on the third REO.

The problem is surely at that connection then. File it again and take another reading. 2.1V at the atty on a 4.1V battery will melt the button pretty quick so don't hold too long.
