Reo Mini +IKV 306= NO GO (HELP)

[ComaKid]

Hey Everybody,

So Ive been using Cisco 306 attys for awhile now and I really enjoy them. Ive heard so many great reviews of the IKenVape attys, that I decided to give them a try and compare them to the Ciscos. I purchased two LR and four HV (in anticipation for a grand/woodville in my future) last week, but I'm having some compatibility issues with my Reo Mini.

Basically they will not screw into the Reo. When I attempt to screw them into the 510 connection they only get about half way in before its nearly impossible to turn them any further. Using a pair of pliers I was able to get the atty far enough in to fire, but there was no air flow.

I tired both of the LR and a two of the HV attys (just to test) on the Reo and had the same result. Next I tried them on my Silver Bullet and they fit and fired like a dream. Anybody else have similar issues on a Reo or a solution?

Thanks

I talked with Isaac as I had the same issue. Just email or PM him and he will take care of you. It's a problem with the manufacturer I assume and he will check that the ones he has and sends you fit in his REO first. He's a real stand up guy and will fix your issue.

There should be an option that asks you if you are using them on a Reo mod, let me go check now on that site.

Edit: Nevermind wrong site I'm sorry

Just email them and tell them your problem.

Oh man, I just ordered a couple of 306s two days ago. Just fired off an email to Isaac now. Hope I'm not too late.

From what I've read, Isaac and Cisco are both taking care of their customers who have run into this problem with their attys not threading properly on to their Reos.

I wonder if they both use the same manufacturer?

When you order from Issac do you need to tell him this first on the order it is for a REO?

 

[Mudflap]

It wouldn't hurt.

I just ordered on Friday, and they actually asked if I was going to use them on a Reo right on the web form. I told them yes, and the one that I opened works great.

I'm not sure how much I like the 306's- they're really hot. With a slightly longer drip tip it could work, but right now I'm afraid of burning my lips.

It is a known issue. I know it was mentioned previously, but if you want to follow the discussion:

It isn't just happening on our Reo's, but also other mods.

I am using an IKV LR 306 2.0Ω Atomizer on my new Reo Grand. Both actually just came in this morning. Everything is working GREAT! The 306 actually didn't fire the first time when I put it on so I took it apart and put it back on again and it have been working ever since. Hopefully everything goes well for you.

Weird thing is, I've had no problems with any 306 atomizer. *knocks wood* Plus I have a couple 901's if they start acting up.

The Cannon drip tips at Cherry Vapes are awesome. The clear ones are really nice because you can see how much liquid is there.

*UPDATE*

So yesterday I sent an email to Issac through the IKenVape site. He responded promptly and is addressing my problem. He said this is a common problem and they are working on a permanent solution.

Really happy with the customer service at IKenVape.

BTW - His HV 3.5 ohm 306 attys at 6 volts on my silver bullet is out of this world.

I just received 5 Ikenvape 306 LR atties. I pulled out the first one and it fit my REO Mini just fine.

Unfortunately the draw is incredibly tight and I'm barely getting any vapor production. Very disappointing. I'll give it some time to break in but these may not be the atty for me.

Ok someone suggested this on ECF I don't know where but here goes. I took some 800 grit sand paper and rolled the 306 that would not thread into my REO and scuffed/rounded the threads. Just 4 or 5 360 degree rotations. I put it to the REO and guess what? It threaded right in. There you go. If I could post Pix I would show you what I did and the results.

I haven't tried the shorter drip tip, but I do have the XL 306 Drip Tip on the 1.5 Cisco's and haven't noticed any heat. Don't be scerred. I love these atty's!!
