My shipping info updated right after I posted my last comment. The Reo is supposed to arrive today along with my rba, and the wire is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

So.... Maybe a fun weekend. Any 510 atty or carto will work with it, so you could fire it up without the rba. It won't be as good, but it'll be good enough.

Good news and bad news. My Reo arrived. Bad news is it will not fire with the flat top eFest 18650 batteries. I have some trustfire 18650s that I got a while back that I will attempt to use for a few days until I can order soem AW IMR 18650's. I just built a coil and it is coming in at 1.4 OHMS. First try not too shabby, I would have like it to come in a little closer to 1.0 though. The Trustfire batteries are charging now, once they're charged and I get my Reo to fire I'll start a new thread.

I have found that flat tops do not work on REO's unless you use a safety fuse, which adds the button top. When Rob gets the new parts in for the sub ohm kits, he states that flat tops will work on REO's. If you do use the flat tops, be aware that you may become a "button masher" to get the contact you need.

Congrats on the REO, but I strongly advise purchasing the correct batteries, a safety fuse, or the sub ohm kit when available.
