Ok just built it. I had to make some adjustments. The drop read 3.5 volts on a 1.2 ohm single coil. Btw the ERA fits beautifully:) I removed some paint at the negative spring. I also replaced the positive tab with an authentic positive tab. Reads 3.8 volts now woot ! Nice vape. Pretty much the same drop as a real REO. My authentic reads 3.9 volts probably because the 510 connector is still brass. The clone body is definitely aluminum. The firing button is smaller, and lighter to the touch. I kinda like it. The diameter is smaller on this button. I could always sand down the real one if I wanted to. But it's not really bugging me. For 25 bucks this mod is a steal. This will make a great mod for work. This Inawera Classic Camel is tasting mighty good right now ;) Oh, one more thing. The bottles are soft plastic.

You're welcome buddy. As long as the tab hits the battery. There will be no misfiring. Also make sure your atty is snug on the 510 connector. That will give you a better load. I should have done that before I switched the tab :D I think you'll enjoy this mod. :)
thanks Jimi D.----pics are great this thing looks like a keeper to me----as long as it does not misfire.

I like that atomizer nice and small but don't know what kind it is but sure would be nice.
This atty is a ERA RDA from the Philippines. They are tough to find these days. They were very popular a few years ago. I got mine at Indy Vapor. Hopefully they'll restock them soon.

There's a site called blackhat that has the Tobeco clone of the ERA for $5.I have never dealt with them,but i may try it out for $5.

I used to have those. See that huge rubber insulator on the positive post ? It doesn't hold up to the heat at all. Tastes awful. I'm sure the insulator could be replaced somehow.

Thanks for the tip I just went there----http://Your #1 Source For E-Cigarettes & E-Cigarette Supplies | Blackhat E-Cigarettes

and found the pic of the ERA clone for 5.00---this would be a great addition to the reos cloneView attachment 474817
Yeah,like i said i have never dealt with them,or even heard of them,but they have a couple retail locations listed in Florida,so i'm guessing they are a legit vendor.For $5 i'll probably pick one up,it's showing $2.68 for shipping,so all in still under $8,definitely worth a shot.
