Request to Rob: PLEASE! make a reo button cover add-on

[redeyedancer]

Alice is correct all grands and mini mods will vary to a certain degree . I do honestly believe the newer grands and mini mods are much more consistent . Alice put the paddle down I plan to make some mods with the same switch I put in the mini woodvils and the 18490s .This would be very nice for anyone that has issues with the mechanical switch .This would be a option for anyone they could even have one of the older mods refitted with a wired switch. Were all different and some people are more sensitive

@alice

Well said

I got my mini last autumn, I should have a new generation one?

I WANT and will gladly pay for one of those switch upgrades. A VV, Electrical switch Reo Midi and I am so there (metal of course!)...
(and with the VV the idea of a rugged mod which the Reo Mini fulfills perfectly is mute anyway)

Hi Alice,
Obviously I hit a sore spot, and I apologize. I haven't been vaping long and I didn't realize this.

A gentle press and it barely fires; you can listen to it....More pressure to get full firing....when a certain amount of pressure produces a limited...amount of vapor and then a little more pressure produces much more...vapor produced we have a somewhat verification of what I am saying.

So we can adjust the amount of vapor we get simply by pressing the button harder or softer. This is good news!

Rob, can you please confirm this?

 

[canoeist]

No, it is like a light switch, on or off...

I took some measurements with a multimeteer today:

I can hear a fainter sizzle,can only take a smaller drag if I press the switch halfway. Full vapor only when switch is fully pressed. Multimeter readings:

3.79 Volts when pressed down fully

1.23 Volts - 2.8 Volts (and jumping around in this range) when not pressed fully

WTF

If the statement, "No, it is like a light switch, on or off...." is true then I am either a liar or delusional, or perhaps both. AND it is I who is guilty of spreading false and misleading information.

I'll make one more attempt and then I'm finished.

Has it occurred to anyone that we humans have varying degrees of fine motor skills? What is one defined movement for one may, perhaps, be a series of slight movements as perceived by another. Tactile skills are learned, as we mature, although there are different levels and abilities that are inherent to each individual at birth. Then many of us go on to develop "higher" levels or skills. People who have sight limitations and who develop heightened abilities to help compensate for their sight limitations, or lack of sight, are not necessarily born with the tactile sensitivity to "read" brail with their fingertips nor are they necessarily born with "better" hearing than sighted persons, nor are they necessarily born with more sensitive olfactory skills. That is just one example that many people should be able understand.

Many people do not have "perfect" or normal/average vision (20/20 which is not the best but an agreed upon measurement/standard implying no need for correction - 20/15 and 20/10 is measured in many people - that is better, more acute vision than the norm), as measured against man-made, agreed upon standards, but vision can be enhanced by most usually optical devices, whether corrections to bring sight to the norm or enhanced to bring sight to much higher levels, re., binoculars, telescope, camera lenses, many other lenses, etc.

Perhaps my ability to feel the fine differences of REO button action is more refined than that of some other people. Many people can taste and differentiate obscure notes/tones of wines or foods; many others cannot either because of physical limitations or lack of training/developing the ability or both. Many people can hear and recognize notes in complex music while many others cannot. This skill is both learned and limited or enhanced by physical properties of the ear and/or brain.

A human's eyesight can be tested as can physical hearing abilities. Testing what the nerves and brain do with the input is a bit trickier and less "testable", with the equipment we humans currently have to measure such.

So I'm finished trying to make my point. But I am sticking by my guns on the validity of my observations.

I'm just a crazy old broad (girl, female, weaker sex, lessened brain power by virtue of being born with ovaries) anyway, so why listen to me?

BTW... Most of my metal REOs have magic dimmer switches in them.

Bravo

But be advised, you may just have placed yourself in the "Crazy Dilusional Club."

With appreciation, Crazy Old Broad Alice

I have two Grands that I use daily at work. I can say that both need different amounts of pressure to fire. The Mini I use is also different. None must be mashed really hard. But some more than others. We that have lots of REO's seem to notice the difference.

Thank you Ma'am. But who should believe you? You are just another Crazy Old Broad. Welcome to the club.

Big Hugs, Alice

Okay, okay, okay...I'm calling a time out here.

lets all get back to our respective corners before this turns into something personal.

Please don't make me start editing posts or worse.

So first things first...

We can all agree that not all of our hands work the same way. I am one of those who was under the impression that it is either on or off, requiring very little pressure. However, being that my hands aren't sensitive to pressure yet...I really have no basis for comparison...so it is easy to understand why I would make a statement like that. Alice makes a good point. Perhaps it is a bigger deal that I've given it credit for. So I apologize for not seeing it from this perspective.

Now having said that....please....understand that this "perception" runs both ways. And having a difference of opinion or different perception of how things operate is fine. Everything we as individuals post about our mods is based upon our experience with our mods that we own and not everyone is experiencing the same results. So lets try to be respectful of folks' observations without making it personal, okay?

And as always...please feel free to PM me if anyone feels I'm being out of line.

My Walnut/Bocote door will click shut louder than my Cocobolo/Curly Maple when I slide it up and let it go! LOL

Thanks Lisa. I agree that this could potentially escalate to personal attacks AND if what I have written is examined closely I don't think you will find that I nor anyone else has made any attack on a person or their integrity; but more so on beliefs that can be proven or disproved by measurement.

What I have stated and tried to explain, is in fact, a measurable observation.

What usually gets me fired up is blindly believing something that is not true and then combining that with leading people to believe that this belief is, in fact, the real truth especially when measurements can be taken and placed on a scale; granted one that is wo/man created.

A few persons may have interpreted what I have said as personal criticism or attacks. I have not meant to say that, and I don't think I did, but I have no control over what people perceive. I have, in fact, only challenged or "attacked" a belief that is untrue, not the person. If I have done so I apologized.

Granted I have been, at certain points, snippy, and I have expressed my displeasure and annoyance for people giving out misleading information and implications that what I have experienced/observed is incorrect or false. Just my nature that I usually keep in check.

I'm not attempting to tell anyone what color, or type of WOOD, makes the best REO, nor what is the Best type of REO, or what type of button is the best for everyone nor arguing against the perception, and maybe fact, that some REO buttons do exhibit action of only an off or on position. I'm protesting that one or a few observations, using limited number(s) of REOs does not make it true for all other buttons on our REOs.
