Hi Gang! I got two meters from RTD today. (Shipped the same day I ordered them) but I think the directions blew out the window already lol. Anyways, the tube voltage meter reads firing voltage and also voltage under load. I'm not sure what the diff is. Also I have some leakage coming from right around the thumbwheel. I dont want to just take it apart but is that happening to anyone else? TIA

I Love That Tip!!!
Congrats Scott...what a score!


Hello REOkin, I need a bit of positive energy from you lot.

I have been without my REOs since 12th november - they went to a make over in Maine and got lost in the German customs and DHL on their way back: You can follow the drama here: DHL Track and Trace

After weeks of yelling at and pleading with people I was told the parcel was "lost", then "destroyed", then "partly destroyed and we'll send you what's left of it".
Now the tracking shows movement and I think I might get it tomorrow. I fear that it will be in bad shape, but I hope at least some mods are still there.

In the parcel is a Wood 18490, a VVW, a mini 14500, a VVG and two REOmizers.
Wish me luck.

Chris
Sending tons of good vibes your way. Fingers crossed for your Woods to be intact.

exposing the electronics to juice is not good

You guys always talk about vape gear when I am not looking. So where would a man such as myself procure such as myself procure such a drip tip?

That was done by Smackley over at Smackleycraft. He makes unbelievably cool e-pipes. Shoot him a message thru his site or over on reddit with what you'd like, he makes them to order.

You think its ok to open up that cover or will stuff fall out? I remember Rob saying not to go in there just cant remember why exactly.

unless you are inclined to taking things apart and putin them back together i would leave it to Rob but taking the black delrin cover off will expose the chip i had one off and got it back together ok and no things wont all fall out

I would say that their are no user serviceable parts inside. If you are getting juice inside, it could be your connector in the catch cup, but these are pretty new mods, unless you use it as your only device 24/7 I can't imagine that it would already be worn out. More likely it could be coming out of the catch cup and getting in the door from the top. But I am usually wrong. Alice had good luck with her VVG dipping it in some 99% Iso Alcohol to clean them, but that would only work if you found the source of the problem. I would get a sealed 510 to 510 adaptor, and if that stops the juice from coming in (though rendering the REO feed usless) you would know the problem is the inside the connection.

How's radio life, Dan? Any exciting remotes lately?

Last week I went to a Complete Nutrition location (kinda like GNC) and being the most out of shape person on the planet that was interesting and informative. I might become a physical specimen one day. This weekend going to another Car - Mart. Last month I gave away 4 Ipads in as many days all over Lufkin with Sprite that was pretty fun.
