Hey guys I've been reading on the forums that when the temperature gets high or if ones in high altitude the Reo will auto feed and can spill juice everywhere.... I live in Vegas and while its nice and cool now it does get real hot here during the summers. I always carry my Reo in my pockets and now I'm a little scared for the summer. I also read the reducer tubes don't help that well for high temperatures. I love my Reo but if this really does happen I'm definitely going to be worried. Can anyone tell me their experiences with their reo at high temp locations like mine and if there's any way to prevent the auto feeding from happening?

I have never had in issue with it. I live in the St.Louis Area and we got up to 110 deg this summer. If you are using a rba atty, just cut a carto condom and place it over the RBA cap. When you go to put it in your pocket slide the cut carto condom to cover the air hole. That should take care of that. If you use reg attys or cartos, you can get an fat o-ring that will fit snug around that atty, and slide it down to cover the juice well when you pocket the mod.
When I was using a super thin juice (Virgin Vapors) my REOs would self feed in the heat. When I switched to higher VG liquids the problem stopped, even without the reducer tube.
I think I'm best suited to answer this ? since it gets up around 115-120 here!
The only time I've had my Reos auto feed from the heat is when I've set them down in direct sunlight and they've gotting SUPER hot
like almost too hot to touch but I've NEVER had 1 auto feed in my pocket ever and I work outside in the heat here. The only real auto feed scenarios I've encountered are when traveling and experiencing drastic altitude changes in a car (not a big issue in a car since I normally just get a flooded carto and vape through it)
or plane my Reos will auto feed from the increased pressure in the bottle however this is usually rectified by simply unscrewing the bottle and screwing it back on and knowing this I just wrap a napkin around the carto/atty and push it down around the catch cup not a big deal or simply don't fill your bottle all the way up till your in the air. As for the reducer tube I've from others that they do work/help if your using a higher PG juice but I wouldn't know personally since I mainly vape high to 100% VG. Hope this helps

I've vaped around ex-wife number one without auto-feeding and it doesn't get hotter than that since being anywhere near her is pure hell.

I don't have autofeed happen often and it certainly gets hot here especially outside. It gets >150F in closed car most sunny days most months during year here, too. Most auto feeding I have had is with 801 attys on 801 Woodvils, especially with the new shorter catchcups on the newer Woodvil (Post old style Woody). Way, way back some of us played with 801 attys on 510 connection using adapter (or was it the other way around....
). Oh yeah it was 801 on 510 because we were playing with IKV short attys. I had pretty regular auto feeding doing that. I would set it down at night and within a few hours the catchcup was over flowing and would keep running out so it wasn't just the juice settling and coming out from the excess juice is generous sized atty.
I generally use 30/70 to 50/50 PG/VG and few issues. DH flies out of town work every week (normal high altitude commercial airlines). He has no issues with REO self feeding in his pocket but he uses Resurector Cartos. On rare occasions he did have a mess when he had REO, with full bottle, and atty/carto, in baggie, squashed into his carry on bag. That has been very rare, though.
If I'm going to be leaving REO(s) in car for a few hours, when temps get so hot in car, I like to carry an insulated small, soft side lunch bag with a blue ice in it to store the REOs, juice, and a few personal items that don't do well with repeated exposure to high temps (chapstick, makeup, meds, etc.) (DH used to carry a 12 pack of Pepsi Max behind his car seat. Ocassionally one would burst from heat in parked car. We have pretty heavy tinting and always use a windshield sun screen, too.)

The only auto-feeding I experienced is coming out from AC in the house and placing a reo in a hot car...the sudden change, I suppose. Even then, it didn't over-flow the catch cup and I usually could vape through it or unscrew the atty and blow it out and I was good to go. My Reos have never auto-fed in a pocket, ever.
