Springless in Boise

[Vapolith]

So, I'm in Boise, Idaho for training. I have one Reo with me, because I'm an idiot. I let one of my classmates try the Reo with his metal drip tip. It was too narrow, shorted, and collapsed the spring. Now, it's not like I'm going to run and buy cigarettes or anything, I don't NEED to vape, but I like to vape. Any Reonauts nearby with an extra spring?

You could also do the 10amp car fuse mod in a pinch

yup - this ^^^

I had a spring collapse on me while travelling on business and this little life hack saved the day. Much easier to source than a reo spring.

That sucks. I would be happy to hand one over to you if I was close...

 

[BockinBboy]

I'd say that may be your best bet. To me, it seems the least modification to your actual REO (read none) would be to do the fuse mod like Mundy has done, using the spade connector.. as shown in his post, number 95 in that thread.

I would be forever grateful. I'm almost done with training for the day. Where and when would be convenient for you?

Absolutely awesome.....

Walter Ego saved the day! Met up at a really nice vape shop, and he even had his Reo repair kit, so he helped me put the spring in. Nice to meet a fellow Reonaut! Thanks again, so much!

 

[Walter Ego]

Vapolith vapes again, we met up at a local B&M and I got him all fixed up. I refused to let him use the collapsed spring that he had stretched out, he also picked up some plastic drip tips so it wouldn't happen again. Big day for me as this is the first Reonaught I've met face to face, the folks at the store didn't know what to think but I think they'll be on Rob's site very soon.

I gotta move to Boise.

WooHoo! Way to go Walter Ego. Very nice of you to go out of your way for him.

Kick ... to see vapers helping each other out in a pinch.

Now someone remind me to put a spare spring in my go bag.

I gotta move to Boise.

I spent a lot of time in the Boise area all through the 80's on business... a lot and had a lot of friends there. So much so in fact I kept a truck at the airport gas station the last years. Even though I traveled to all 16 western states (incl AK and HI) all the time, Boise was one of the favorite places to go. In the early years stayed at theToadway Inn most of the time, sometimes the Red Lion, later when built the Residence Inn. Manny's was my fav place to eat bar none, also spent a lot of time at Cafe Ole in 8th Street Marketplace though and a soup and sandwich place on S Broadway I can't remember the name of. Just a short run up the road to some great trout fishing too. Even thought about retiring there.

so before I fire this sucker, look good? I read through most of the pages of mentioned threads, and as far as I can tell, this is the Mundy fuse.
