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.
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.
