Okay, I think I got this thing licked. Took my battery off the charger and tried it out...nothing. Given you said the flat tops are harder to connect, and I guess I have noticed I've needed to hit it harder and harder. I took the battery out, pushed down the firing pin and bent it just a LITTLE bit more and now it's firing again.

Don't worry about backups....I got ego tanks, MAP tanks, Storm tanks....everything a guy could want. ;) Never without a backup, but I like my REO at "home" in my room and the ego-T for out and about.

Trying to cut down on my nic intake so mixing the old 12-16 mg stuff with 0 nic mints, so maybe I'm just vaping the hell out of it...who knows! I appreciate all the help!

Oh, btw, got an email from Robert...said he'd send out the attys and he forgot...like I said, that wasn't a huge deal, it was nice just to get the gold/black (Iowa Hawkeye) one I wanted!!

That is awesome DP! I do have some friends over there that many people on this forum have helped to stock up with juice and supplies :) So if you ever run into a situation and find yourself short just let someone here know and I am sure that my friends could get it to you easy enough :)
 
Oh, don't worry about me. I just got back into eCigs about seven months ago. Every time I come overseas, it's ON for personal wellness. Gym every day, no smoking, no drinking (unfortunately). I miss smoking, though. My little pals.

So, I decided to give eCigs another go...best thing I had before was the Janty Kissbox, but dripping was a PITA, but I figured, why not. Then, I discovered the eGo-T and wham! It was what I dreamed it should be. Now, there are so many mods...way more than back in 2009, so my non-smoking days are definitely behind me. Went home in July/August and tried a cigarette...couldn't do it. Made me nauseous. I'll stick with my electronics.

Biggest problem for me (like most, I bet) was that I went on a total buying binge and I bet I have 1,000 mL of liquid and a ton of supplies. Not a bad problem to have...I shouldn't have to buy supplies for awhile. I did burn out about 4 attys on a higher amp eGo battery, though, before I figured out what was happening. :S Even so, I should be set for six months, easy. Dunno about buying new batteries, these seem to work okay...? I bought ones that people recommended in the "Things you need to get when buying a Reo" thread. They are AW IC 18650s, so I don't know about dropping more money on new ones until these really start crapping out on me. I'm a little strapped for cash now, since I'm throwing all my money into silver and gold for the impending apocalypse, thanks to Europe (only half-kidding).

Like I said, I like the Reo when I'm sitting here and don't feel like moving my lazy ... from the computer, but it's a lot easier to carry the eGo-T around in public...only problem I have is the heat. It makes the liquid viscosity a bit thinner and I get the runs...haha.

Did you get the little baggy that came with the REO? There is a small tube in there...its really clear so its really hard to see. You insert this tube in the bottom of your feed tube (you can cut it in half so you have two....save one for later). This helps restrict the flow of the juice so it doesn't auto feed all over the place. Also...if you hook up with the other vapers over there...some with have cartomizers on hand, you might be able to trade an atty for a few. These are great for keeping the well dry.
Here are a couple pictures of the reducer tube...
