REOs not performing well?

Exactly. If you don't have an airtight seal you loose pressure. When you squeeze the bottle air will escape out the cap instead of juice going up the tube. If you don't have air pressure juice will not be forced up the tube. If you lightly tighten the cap there will be enough of a seal to prevent leaking, but not enough of a seal to prevent air escaping.
Here is an update on my testing. I plan to do a little more later tonight (i.e. try another RM2)
Battery off charger: 4.1V
RM2 off, check voltage at connector: 4.1V
RM2 on Provari set at 4V: 3.9V
RM2 on Reo with fresh 4.1V battery: 3.7V
I've scraped my contacts clean and all that I can figure is that my RM2 is not making a good connection. I cleaned the bottom of the RM2 with a nail file (lightly since its soft brass) and cleaned out the connection in my reo with hot water, q-tip and blew dry with air nozzle
Am I missing anything? I'm gonna put my new RM2 on it tonight and check the post voltage then. I will also check the posts with no coil

thanks for the replies everyone, ill give the new squonk methods a shot today at work
Your mod is running properly . Why are you analyzing your readings are you not getting satisfaction ?
Some obcessions over numbers reminds me of viewing IQ scores with a narrow and most often ignorant view. Don't get me wrong I've been a numbers, science, statistics person all my life. I love "numbers" per se. I brushed up on Algebra taken 10 years before in middle school (early placement) and self taught myself trig and geometry over a summer break before starting in University Advanced Calculus and on to graduate level, Physics and Math. So I do have aptitude, interest, sometimes love in/of "numbers." Assuming a person with

Cont'd as ECF cut my message short.
Assumming a person with IQ < 70 can't have developed skills far beyond what you or I can imagine having is narrow and ignorant. BELIEFS weigh in heavy here. Then you have measurement accuracy and human error. Do a few 0.x volts really affect your quality of vaping experience?
My greatest concern is for new vapers or those new to varied ways to vape can and do think they are doing something wrong, or not doing something right, or they have defective gear.

It's working well I'd say, but I thought my voltage drop was only around .2 or .3 V when I first got it and now it's around .4 to .5 V. Yes it's true, I obsess over little things like .2 V. When I saw the previous post with double_aa_ron, I thought we were both having similar issues.
I haven't been getting much flavor lately but there are many other factors involved with that (vapors tongue, bad juice, etc.) that could affect that and not the mod itself.
And then again, it could be that I'm just used to my REO now and the fantastic vape has become routine for me. I have found that I can't go back to my Provari and Carto/Protank/anything else.
I'll just have to order another REO to be sure

"Do not measure voltage drop... Do NOT measure voltage drop... Do not...."
Damn. I did it.

Not picking on anyone in particular. I do think it is important to over and over let peeps know that all is most usually optimum without obsessing over the smallest things or much tinkering. I don't have the time, patience, money, or energy as much any more but I'm the person (used to be), who once I tackle the bathroom I get the toothbrush out to get the tiniest bit of grunge out of 1" square ceramic tile floor, grout. (I used to pay full time help to keep things immaculate as can be with 6-10 (sometimes more) country, large and GIANT, housedogs. (They let us live in their kennel.) Those days are long gone. I do understand attention to detail and even obsession, too, but we need to clarify for the general population. (I used to hand-sew french seams, 20 or more backstiching stitches per inch, so I know detail among other detail hobbies including almost microscopic needlepointing and many other things that most people are happy with finishing with "gross" almost detail.) (I'm still OCD about keeping up with my hand thrown pottery, flatware, and glassware I've been collecting since the 60's and kitchen knives.) Most other stuff.... head to the store and purchase another. They'll eventually show up and then we'll have two, then three, then four of so many things. When I first moved in with DH, before we were married, he had a collection of one particular fossil, lined all the way across his fireplace mantle, from tiny to giant. One day I dusted, very carefully lining them up exactly, I thought, as they were and he came in and immediately asked, "Who's been messing with my fossils?" I met my match. We have both have lowered our OCD standards about 1K% especially as we can't afford help any more.

Well I have had my reo grand all summer and its a keeper. Thing works magnificently. Love to come home and just kick back with the reo. Very simple to use with the rm2 and no complaints whatsoever.
One question I have for you guys is in regards to the catch cup on top. I use mostly thick liquids (Boba's bounty) in the rm2. I have been noticing that juice starts building up in the catch cup and does not go back down to the bottle after squonking. I clean it up each time. The gasket, tube from the bottle and the atty. Is this normal with thicker liquids? I'm losing alot of excess juice because of this.
Love my reo though. Now I know why so many feel the same way.

I have one Mini 2.0 (I have a bunch of REOs) and a particular RM2 that leaks into the drip well and even overflows some. I put the o-ring that comes with RM2 in well and that did not stop it, then a second one, two in well, snd it did not stop it. Few days ago I took those out and put a thicker o-ring, like the one for the 6ml REO bottle caps in alone and all leaking has stopped.

Thanks for the info. Guess I will pick some up off the website.
I used the smaller o rings and that did not help. So I guess the larger ones will work. Thanks again!
Same with my grand. The oring from a grand bottle cap in lieu of the small one that comes with it does the trick for me too. The only downside is the base has to be tightened down pretty good to make contact (fire) and removing it takes allot of force. Today I tried something different to make it juicetight - I put the atty on, then slipped that same fat oring over the top of it and slid it down to the catchcup. I pushed it down in the space between the atty and the catch cup. So far so good.
So got home and before I bought a thicker oring I searched my vape box and came across an old buddy.
Had a j-tank that I haven't used in ages since RBAs and took the oring from the inside of the cap. Works marvelously. Funny how an old carto tank came in handy.

I keep an o-ring in the juice well under the RM2 and another thicker one in the gap at the top of the juice well. Helps keep sawdust out of the juice well, supports the atty when dropped, and looks better also.
Good call. Will wedge another one towards the top.
Love the reo though. I have been vaping for over two years and have used so many different mods. Love my provaris because they are my daily work horses, but the reo has special time when I kick back at home.
Currently vaping bounty hunter at 1.2ohms on the reo grand with an rm2 and watching some top gear = vaping bliss.

Another thing on the Mini 2.0, my oldest and most used Mini 2.0, (When did Robert release the Mini 2.0s? This one is one of the first so it has a lot of vaping time on it in not the best conditions.) that needs a thicker o-ring under RM2 to prevent leaking..... There is still some juice in bottom, inside when I refill bottle. I might have a gasket issue. No shorts yet but I do have rebuild kit (and extra springs) so it's probably time to do a partial rebuild. That will most likely stop the need for the o-ring and stop any leaking down into REO. None of my other REO/RM2 combinations leak outside or inside. This particular RM2 is the only one I've used on this REO, in weeks, as it's the only Chrome one I have and as it's my main workhorse and does get banged around some the Chrome offers more protection to the RM2 finish. Brass is so soft. Time to order a couple more Chrome RM2s.
