It's quite easy to use a Reo with a fuse instead of a spring and indeed some of us 'lung-burners' that run low Ω coils do just that. In my opinion, you have to try quite hard to get a spring to collapse or be very unlucky.

yeah I saw the thread about the fuse, and have seen it mentioned, but had forgotten. Jup, I'm pretty careful so haven't dropped a spring, but ya just never know when stupid will take over and ya drop one or two. A friend dropped two, one right after the other, but he thinks it was a problem with the atty. Got a different atty and hasn't dropped one since. That was when he had just gotten his first reo.

Nancy so glad you're startin to feel better, hope you fully recover very soon.

No, it's pretty easy! You just have to be a noob at coiling a RM2. :oops::rolleyes:
If you religiously test your coils with either a little black box or a meter before you fire them....

The reason i mentioned 'unlucky' is because it is hypothetically possible to have a short in the Reo 510 connector itself - for instance ' hey i was poking around and removed a load of goo from around the 510 when i was fitting a rebuild kit '. etc.

It is startlingly rare and the most frequent cause of shorts is atty related: you didn't check the build before firing it.
You put the topcap on and shorted to that. You use a metal driptip that goes down too far and touched your coils....

Only collapsed one spring in all these years and it was because the center pin on the atty had somehow become recessed to the point of being flush and causing a short. Now every time I clean my Grand, I check to make sure the center pin protrudes slightly.

Pat, I grew up in Lancaster. 600 block of E. Chestnut. To crowded now.

Holy Moly, small world brother! You in arizona now? You'd probably not recognize it now except near McCaskey HS. Like you said, too crowded. Lancaster city is getting all the folks migrating from places like Queens, Brooklyn, the bronx and so forth.

If you ever come back to your old stomping grounds, holler at me brother and we'll split some Bobas Bounty or whatever premium vapes I still have!
