Good luck, keep us posted on your progress. Like I said before, please don't give up on it.
The REO has changed my life and I know dozens of other REO owners feel the same way.
Every mod maker has their own following, but REO fans are a very special group.
Many go out of their way to help new users. Don't worry about being a newbie, we all were at one time.
Your on the right path with the REO. The ECF and REO users in particular are here to hel
You through it.
Please check out the REO specific sub-forum and join use there. It's not just about vaping, it's a group of friends that just hang out and chat. Your part of the family now so come join us over there.
Good luck.

You say you are using standard 510 attys - these do not work well on the REO. You should be using LR (low resistance) attys, which work great.
They work OK, but I agree. The issue is they are not working as well as they did on the eGo, so something is wrong.
First step get the thing working, then go atomizer shopping.
Holy smokes of vapor, I did not know that. I'll just bring them my mini and let them figure it out, lol.
So, I got in contact with Vapor Kings who are 45 minutes from my house and they are going to once over the Reo to make sure that the issues aren't my incompetence. I ordered a LR atty 801 w/ adaptor.... so, we shall see. I'm starting to think that the Reo just doesn't vape much and that my expectations are too high. It's just so damn sexy; I don't wanna give up on it.
Tip: the normal 510 to 801 adapters don't play nice with the Reo. You need a low profile adapter like the stealth adapter from avid vaper, which is the one I use. Madvapes has one too. Hopefully Vapor Kings will have a low profile adapter.
You need the bottom of the 801 atty to ride low in the reservoir cup to be able suck up juice to the coil when you draw on it.
If you're going to be using LR attys, I suggest IMR high drain batteries.
Good luck! Keep us posted.
Have you called Rob from REOsmods.com his phone # is on the web site. He is a nice guy and will help you with any issue you are having with the REO.
Oh boy, the 801 is very tricky to get the hang of on a REO.
I've been vaping for 14 months and had REOs for 4 months and I still have trouble with 801 attys.
When they work they are great, but I wouldn't recommend them for beginners.
A LR 510 atty or LR cartomizers are the easiest to learn with.

He has emailed me a couple of times. He's a man of few words, lol. He suggested LR attys.
I had a small breakthrough. Myself being a jeweler, I took some jeweler's pickle and cleaned the connections on the inside of the device. Aluminum and steel have a strange kind of oxidation that most are not aware of. They can form a clear oxide layer not readily visible by the naked eye. This is good for anodized aluminum which helps preserve the color from scratches but maybe not so good for switches and the like. Some steel knives can almost self heal scratches by rebuilding this thin oxide layer. Here is a good yahoo answers post that explains it better than I could: Why stainless steel has its own healing property? - Yahoo! Answers India
Anywho, I cleaned the battery mechanisms, and already I've seen a big bump in vapor and flavor... Still, nothing like the eGo-T or even my small 510 e-cig, but hey, it's something. big thumbs up! Next step.. LR atty

If you cleaned the switch, put a small dab of noalox on the tip of the firing pin (the grey goo that came with your REO in the plastic envelope)
Of course, noalox is specifically design to prevent that oxide layer. I'm thinking that my Reo formed this layer before reaching my hands. The more I vape, the better it performs. I knew the issues had to be power related cause my attys work well w/ other batteries. The vapor is much increased... however, the flavor is very average.
ps. Much of my family lives in Campbellsville, Kentucky. It's a beautiful state to live.
Juice taste changes with different power/resistence combinations. I think you will like the 510 2ohm attys. Personally, I think they are a cooler vape than the 2ohm cartos on the eGo, but much cleaner, more like dripping.
Hope you get it working. I just got a blue/blue Reo mini yesterday and I love it! Best vaping I've done to date. Trying a 306 LR atty right now and it is a bit hot but my LR 510s I get from TW are heaven on earth. The Reo mini is better than advertised!
