Sorry Jess...that is my fault. I haven't built a guide for the 2.1s yet. The 14500s will work if that is what you have now. But you want the 18490 AW IMRs . Use the contact us on RTD...Randy may be able to help you. Do you have a grand too? The flat top should work for the grand. Its just not ideal.

I'll fix the guides this weekend. :blush: I'm really sorry. :(

No worries! I have the right ones coming. Phew! Once the USPS figures out Geography that is! These are beautiful by the way, Unbelievably pretty!

Jess...I'm using an 18650 MMKE flat top on my grand right now. It works...but I found with the plastic button top, it didn't work well. So if you don't have a button top you'll be fine. If you have the aluminum top, it should work fine.

I just have ...whatever came standard...lol little black buttons.

Ah...well, I feel better now. Got Adobe squared away and heard back about my car.

Get this. There's nothing wrong with it. All they could find was code for 2 separate cylinder misfires. That's it. It runs perfectly, all fluids and filters are perfect (they should be, just had the 15K mile check up last week.) They've done everything they can to try to replicate the event from yesterday and nothing.


I HAVE WITNESSES!!! I SWEAR IT!!! :lol:

:facepalm: Oh well, at least I got to stare at a brand new car in my driveway for a night. *sigh*

Could it have been bad gas? LOL! No wait! I am serious, this is NOT about the car fart! Maybe the gasoline you got was bad!!! Gave the poor baby indigestion! It hiccupped and burped at the same time then the BIG FART! LOL! Oh crap, I need run to pee now! LOL!

Thanks...I just fell so far behind now that I'm doing my own design work. The 2.0s and 2.1s are new since I built the first ones. I need to buckle down and get it done. Glad you're squared away.

I have REOS! And I'm totally spacing on batteries! The site says 18490-18500 for the mini (2.1) but the instructions that came with say something else. , 14500 and the grand is...18650. I ordered some 18650 from RTD but haven't heard anything and can't access my account status. Which is right for the mini 2.1? The only 18650 I have is a flat top, is that useable or am I stuck waiting for mail.

Oh for the love of DOG. My battteries were shipped, due yesterday, not here! And the went from PA to FLORIDA to get to GEORGIA? Are you kidding me????

If it makes you feel any better, My last Reo purchase shipping was saying basically the same things... and it went from Maine to WASHINGTON before coming here to Mi. The due date said one thing, but the actual arrival was days later.Talk about a round trip!

Good ole USPS:D

I have the 18650 2100mAh VTC 4s here and the Panasonic NCR18650PF that are coming from a co-op. Are these OK? I also have some efest IMR 18650s but I don't think they are holding charge very well.

I can get more batteries, but I am hoping I won't have to...I have so many. I guess, I could just start replacing the efest ones since they seem to be discharging more quickly than when I got them about 7 months ago.

Here's what you need to be careful of....The larger mah batteries tend to be slightly bigger than the recommended batteries. Ideally, you want these to leave enough room for the spring to do it's job in case of a short....which is to drop the battery away from the positive battery contact, breaking the connection and preventing the battery from overheating and consequently venting. Here is a picture of a battery in a grand that is just on the edge of being too big. IMO, you should have at least 2 coil spaces. If you are into sub ohm vaping then I would check to make sure those batteries can hang. Most of us prefer the AW IMR 18650 1600mah because it can handle the lower ohm coils.

Sorry...no it didn't...the power did...hard to explain from someone who has forgotten all she learned about rigs when she was younger. :blush: All resistance in the accelorator (gas pedal) disappeared and it was on the floor, the RPMs went through the roof, but its like it wasn't even connected to the tranny. See what I mean? Like the tranny just dropped. Though I guarantee I would have felt that....so that wasn't it.

Jim, believe it or not...I've learned my lesson!!!!Yes, the moderators finally got it straightened out...With a WHOLE bunch of support from my friends here....damn, I'm tearing up again...I learned a valuable lesson thru this when it comes to real friends, even if we've never even met in person...except, of course, for you, my buddy Smurf and all the great folks at the OK Reo vape ' roundup" just last year.


uh...huh... the stalker:ohmy: isn't doing that!BTW..did you see his vaping vid? What a hoot! I almost fell off my seat laughing...

Kay,

i hope one of the lessons you learned was writing down your email addresses and passwords on some paper and putting it in your hope chest. glad to see oldbroad back.

>and Dennis can get back to perving on you then Kay!
Watch it, Mr. T- i am an equal opportunity perv :)

Good afternoon, Reoville!
:)
