The REO Lounge - Part IV

[APD99]

Today is a sad day for me as I messed up my REO rebuilding it. I stripped the threads in the screw hole and the delrin piece wont stay in place unless I have a battery in there. It mostly still fires right but this sucks. Any ideas besides some JB quickweld?

would a rethreading tool work in there?

How can you like my post but no one answers my question? Need your help her reo pros since these people at the store have no freaking idea what a reo even is.

They try to sell me on some cheap china mod and all I want is batteries lol.

Thank you reopeps

I dont have a VV/VW and probably never will, but this was found in the sticky (FAQ)

Reo VV Grand: Two AW IMR 18350 3.7 volt batteries

I should also add that it says it's recommended you have 3 pairs of them to swap out. Again, just reading FAQ and advice for your device.

Guys!! Guys!! My reo will arrive in the mail today!! I canceled all appointments for the day and just noticed I don't know what kind of batteries I need!!!

For the vv reo do I need the AW IMR 18350?

Thank you guys!! Pictures will follow tonight of Hans

Yes you will need two stacked AW IMR 18350 700 mah 3.7V and maybe some extra so you can switch them out. I use an XTAR MP-2 which is made for smaller batteries, although with spacers you can use pretty much any 3.7V charger. Congrats on your purchase. Post some pics when you recieve it.

My only source for batts and chargers has been Randy over at RTD Vapor. He's a gem!

I have a tap set and I was thinking of just going to a larger screw but I'm not sure which size and pitch to go to.

PM redeyedancer, Rob and ask him if it can be fixed.

So sorry this happened. That screw goes directly into the aluminum. There is nothing else there.

Robert has said he can fix it if you send it in. You can also hot glue the delrin piece in place. That would be easy to remove if needed.

Everyone needs to know that the delrin screw is very delicately in place. To much force, cross threading and over tightening can cause it to strip the aluminum.

It is always best to leave the delrin insert in place unless there is a solid reason to get behind it.

Good day everyone!

In case this hasn't been answered yet, yes...a pair of AW IMR 18350s will do the trick. I prefer having 3 pair minimum for efficient rotation. Can't wait to see pics!

Ya...you guys got it.

Good Morning. My pups get spayed and neutered today. I am waiting for my friend to take us to the vet. They are getting a rabies shot and microchip.

Just to update

Well we are finished and the pups are still sleepy. Found out that Oreo weighs 11 pounds and Roxy weighs 13 lbs. They use super glue on the wound with the stitches hidden inside of it. The stitches will dissolve.

Hope everyone is having a good Friday and hugs to those who are not.
