Yes Gil but you have been schooled . It is partly my fault I should push the issue more . I plan to harp on all the new juice junkies
No need to harp on this noob. I keep mine clean as a whistle and treat it like what it is - a life safety device. Yep, if I didn't have this little bad boy pumping me with a steady dose of nicotine, many peoples lives would be in danger.

Being a newbie to the REO, I thank you for posting this! I'm a visual learner so actually seeing what you are doing brings the point home clearly. And I'm sure I would have been one of those who mindlessly (although blissfully mindless ) would have vaped away for several months without doing a blasted thing to it.
Love that accent, Rob! Think I'll go and listen to it again as a matter of fact ... heh heh ....

(psst...Penny.... you can call Rob on some pretext or another and talk to him in person to hear his accent! And he is a talker so you'll more than get your fill of his accent!)
Well Robert sweetie all my work REO's are sparkling and noaloxed! Got out the ultrasonic with a little dishsoap and gave them all a few runs.
They sure look all pretty!
Thank you so much for all you do. Even if sometimes ya gotta get up in our face and tell us to clean our REO's!
You give us the best and we should at least appreciate it enough that we take a little time to maintain them.
I will try and be more diligent with my metal REO's. I seem to not have a problem with the wood ones. Something about waxing and rubbing till they shine I think..............

maybe throw it in the dryer with some sand paper and get a polished mod
Now your using your noodle but save your money on the sandpaper just throw in a shovel load of sand and let her go
Works best if the wife isn't home and you can blame the kids 
"I have had few people send me their mods recently. They're aggravated they paid a lot of money for a mod and its not running like it was when they first got their mod."
I think i may well be one of those people!! However, i have a few questions - the scuffing and noalox ofc i understand. But in the video - you cut the pin in half when removing it and replaced the same firing pin as before.
I see the rebuild kit has spring, bottle, tube, gasket, firing pin, and atomizer connector in it - do i need to renew all those?? how often?
The replacement atomizer pin looked like it just screwed on - why did you cut the first one off rather than unscrew and re-use it?
I don't put it past my ingenuity to ruin anything so i already have spare bottles, the black switches and the protection springs - can i just buy individually new firing pins, new gaskets and new atomizer pins? (that you used wire cutters on!)?
I'm not new to vaping - but i am new to REOS, so i hope my questions are not quite as childish as they may seem. I do like the flat plate on the vv REO - much easier for me
Oh and since i am on the subject - what maintenance is recommended for that - i am thinking that running a vv under the tap to clean it is a bad idea!

The video linked in this thread is just for maintenance.
The video where he uses the rebuild kit is for rebuilding.
Rebuilding is not needed often at all, if ever, IF YOU PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE. But stuff happens, so rebuild kits are available.

supertrunker I cut the feed tube because its easier . I use a liquid solder on the threaded connection when I build the mods . Can you unscrew it yes you can but it isn't easy . You are correct running your vv mod under the faucet is a bad idea . I think mudflap answered your other ?s
For cleaning VV Grands, just wipe down the outside with a damp soft cloth. You can use a little mild dish soap if it's really grungy. Wring out the cloth really well so no moisture finds it way into the VV electronics behind the delrin cover.
Clean out the reservior and atty connector with a cotton swab damp with isopropyl alcohol or pure grain alcoho. Swab it again with a dry cotton swab. Cotton swaps are also great for cleaning the inside of the VV Grand.
Edit: If you think the feed tube needs to be flushed, a needle tipped bottle or a syringe with a needle can be used to squirt isopropyl alcohol or PGA from the atty connector down the feed tube. I just dribble it into the reservoir and let it trickle down. I don't advise trying to insert a needle into the atty connector. Let it drain into a rag or sink or something and blow some air thru it to get most of it out. Alcohol evaporates pretty fast, so it should dry out soon enough.

When you say atty connector do you mean the threaded connection you screw your atomizer in to
i mean the pin? i saw cut with wire cutters and the gasket etc.
i am probably using the wrong words - but the bit below the bit you'd screw an atty on??

I'm just going to add this - let's consider a situation where you have your pride and joy in your hand (easy boys!!) and say it ran you $150 and you have no clue what you are doing - but you make your own coils in 30 seconds - so how hard can it be?
do you - a) return it to the guy that makes them
b) get the screwdrivers and stuff out and have a bash and then return it to the maker when it becomes obvious you are clueless?
Well - i chose a)! i had previously chosen b) but he fixed that too - lol.
i will add a c) - watch the video. That is my preferred option from now on! My thanks to Red and Mud.
