Pushing my buttons...

[Fleecelined]

So...I'm posting this in case any other REO noobs out there experience what I did. I found that I was pushing my mini's button too hard. The connection was sliding over the battery. I actually thought something was wrong with my mini and even went so far as to email the Master: redyedancer. But after looking at it this morning, I realize it was simply operator error. And you know, that's the thing I LOVE about my REOs...how non-threatening it really is. No fancy gizmos to deal with: you push the button and it connects with the battery. End of story

I fully admit to jumping the gun and going into panic mode. But, as I'm sure most of you will understand, the thought of having to deal with wicks and cartos sends me to the dark place.

Have a great weekend.

It is common for noob Reonauts to be button mashers!

If there is one thing they need to know it is this:

Hold your REO with the atty/carto next to your ear. Push the button slowly, and lightly until you hear it fire. That point is as far as you need to push it! You should not be getting a sore spot on your thumb or finger from pushing the button! Pushing it down further than needed can result in bending of the firing mechanism over time.

Take it easy peeps!

Thanks! I'll lighten up

Or use the delrin button covers and buy some spare firing pins and mash the hell out of them! Works for me!

I find a bigger button easier to push so i can be gentler. But i misread Nerak's post the first time and have to admit - i was having no luck vaping thru my ear.

Yes no more back to the dark days of Carto Filler, and slow wicking Clearomizers.
