only the old timers would get the reference.
Not an old timer but I have spent enough time in the town library reading to get it ...
Just so I know for sure....these new resin REOs will have the same guts as the Woodvils not needing noalox etc like the metal REOs...right?
Noalox or Deoxit on the battery contact points can only be a good thing.
I guess that true I was just pointing out the differences in maintenance between wood REOs vs metal ones.
4 years of REOs and never used Noalox or mess with contacts then again I'm lazy.

In theory you shouldn't have to maintain gold plated contacts. They are gold plated because gold doesn't oxidize. If it were just about conductivity you would use silver because it's a better conductor, but it oxidizes. They can still get dirty though. So you need to clean them off. Don't use anything even slightly abrasive though, you'll wear the gold off and copper oxidizes
True but you're not taking into account what happens when the connections arc. Which happens in the metal Reos, so the Noalox or Deoxit stop the arcing which prevents pitting , plus the battery side of the connection is not gold. Since the Woodvils do not make and break contact at the battery those issues do not exist. I do use Deoxit in my Woodvils since it enhances conductivity.In theory you shouldn't have to maintain gold plated contacts. They are gold plated because gold doesn't oxidize.

So you making these for the Isticks yet? Selling them?
To beat to go through all the pages of this thread if that's alright?
??? I don't understand the question.
JC I don't think Ray understands what the Resin mods are, or he posted in the wrong thread. He'll work it out in due course.
Interesting post...and an aspect of this vaping industry I find fascinating...it's a Petri dish of value theory, socio-economics and worth.
...thing is, beyond the musings of philosophers and economists, an object's value is what someone who needs or desires it, and is able or willing to remunerate for it...as in most examples of discretionary acquisition (such as vaping gear)...the object's actual worth is moot.
So I'm guessing lizard you haven't seen the Facebook group called Vape Auctions. USED mods being sold for $1600-2000. Yes I ....z you not, 2k for a friggin mod and it's not even gold plated at least. We live in a consumer crazy society where traditional values have been flushed down the crapper. Quigs is spot on, something is worth whatever some crazy guy with money to throw is willing to dish out.
Mod makers making solid silver mods with diamonds selling for 4k, I'm not making this up, it's real. 200 bucks is chicken feed compared to what's being sold and bought.
I think the human race is lost track, lights are on but nobody home

I guess as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...so is "value in the they eye of the owner"...My Reos are worth more to me then what I payed for them...because they are my pv's of choice ..it's what works for me..Would I pay $300 for one ...probably not ...but I would try like Hell...then pout when I couldn't...lol...my buddy might pay $500 for a 150w ,vv, gold & diamond box mod worth it to them....but not to me...(personally I don't understand 150w...who needs that much power..somethings bound to melt somewhere)lol...jmo...someone will always buy the outrageously priced mods..so they will keep making more and better and higher priced ( soon they will be vaping on their smart phones which btw I don't have one of them either) ..me ..I found what I like and satisfies my habit...and I'm happy ...plus Reo's look cool...and TO ME they are not cheap...Retired, fixed income...I am thrilled to be able to afford my Reos....don't have as many as I would like to...but maybe I will win the lottery someday...if so look out Rob! I will become Gil..."I have this beautiful hunk of...... can you make..."
btw..maybe you should call the new resin The redeyedancer v1....LOL...

Possibly, but i have asked already if it will handle a coating of my usual brutal juices without damage. My own preference would be something made from polyurethane (like a skateboard wheel) that is both tough and almost bouncy. Even i'd struggle to wreck that.
What i do see here is innovation and improvement as well as the customer service we have come to know, and those are things China does less well.
