Reo problem

[JC Okie]

In nearly a year (this weekend will be 1 year of exclusive REOs) I have owned 9 different REOs. Every one of them has fired every time I have pressed the button.

Except this weekend. I let my neighbor run my every day grand on Saturday. I washed the drip tip, put in a new battery and taught him to squonk every 2 hits. He was using it and smoking a cig about every hour rather than like 4 cigs an hour and liking it allot.

Then he hands it to me and says the battery is dead. Sure enough, no power. I'm thinking how can this be. Brought it home, fuse is fine, battery is at 4.13 but no fire. Firing pin is good.

Unscrew atty cap and the cotton is burnt out of the rba. Duh. No wonder no fire. New cotton, new battery and alls good. Give it back to him and tell him to squonk after every hit - see ya tomorrow.

He brought it back later in the day on Sunday and said he'll check with me on the weekend because he needs to smoke during the week.

When I took the top off the rba to clean it the cotton was burnt again.

It must be hard to quit when your still smoking. My hats off to those who have done it

Mostly it just takes WANTING to.....and the right mindset.

That's what I love about the Reo, there's really nothing to go wrong. The device is simply a holder for a battery, juice, and an atomizer. Push a button down that connects a piece of metal from the battery to the atomizer. There literally is nothing that can just go wrong. Check the battery, check the atomizer, then check to make sure the connection is clean... really all there is to it!

I vote for something silly like a bent piece of metal that's making no contact or a delrin top that's pushed too far. Hope you're back to vaping soon!

You get it it takes some people a long time before that sets in there mind . and a couple trips to Maine and some winded emails from me

I am not so sure that applies to everyone. When I started vaping I had no expectations and no intention to stop smoking, but vaping made it so easy to stop...and my Reo/RM2 made that narrow path into a double lane highway, cruising!

Hmm, maybe there was not enough TH & burning the cotton gave hime that TH satisfaction that he needed!

Did he comment at all about a burnt taste or was it just smokey to him!?

Hi guys,

Just wanted to update you on my issue. I bought a new tub of noalax and my Reo is working perfectly again. A little odd as the tub that I currently used was only 6 months old and I wasn't aware that it could "go bad"

Once again thanks for all of the help!
