Thanks for the tips all. I think I may have my coil too low and the alignment may be off too. I will mess with it a little later and report back. It's darn good now and it can only get better from here!
Morning peeps! Rob is still doing spas on REOs, correct? I have two that have needed to go in for seriously 4 months and I just have such a hard time parting with them
Absolutely Angi. Probably best to give him a call, discuss what you want done and get instructions about what to send in. You typically don't include the extra bits & bobs - like doors, attys and even your bottle. And puleeeze anyone sending stuff in for spawerks clean your gear first.
Phone number is always available on the web site if you don't have it.
Perhaps a dumb question but here goes. How do you know when to change the battery on these? While I appreciate the "your mileage will vary" caveat I'm wondering how will I know when to swap in a new one. Thanks in advance.
Most, not all, notice the flavor drop off. But if busy it's easy to not notice that. I typically change my batt when it drops below 3.9 cuz that's usually when the vape drops off. I have something similar to this
Durable Waterproof 3.0 to 30V Blue LED Panel Meter DC Digital Voltmeter Two-wire
If your battery charger shows volts, you can use that also, or a DMM digital multimeter

I hate to go all Zen on your ....... but you will get a feel for it pretty quick. As Deb said it will be something in the performance dropping off that you don't like as much.
If I could offer any advice it's that while you are figuring that drop-off point out - check your battery voltage more than you would like to. Almost every good 18650 in the market today (that would mean everything except those older chemistry batteries we avoid - on purpose) is acceptable to drain as low as 2.5 volts. Long term, going that low repeatedly might impact the usable life span of a battery - but it won't turn it into some kind of 'death bomb' either. If you want me to look up the safe low-limit voltage for a specific battery I will see what I can find.
The only other point of concern might be having a charger than can deal with a battery dropped into the 2.5 volt range. Most current chargers are good, some dual LiOn/NiMh chargers go dumb about it.
Chances are you will notice a me-no-likee performance drop-off before you get anywhere close to 3.5 volts even.
Like what has been said, you will notice when it gets to 3.7-3.6v
I also use one of these for a quick check:

My brother made me one of those with spare parts he had left over from building his own mods. He got sick of his failure rate and had lots of leftover parts.
Check your battery often at first. This will give you an idea how long the charge lasts. If you can tell the difference by feel, great. But, if you can't, then figure out how low your bottle of juice gets by the time the battery needs to be changed.
IOW, experiment.
Nope. That was back in the Twist days. He just stuck with Twists for a long time. He wasn't looking for mechanical.Did he give up and buy a Reo?
And, now it's just as cheap to buy VV/VW as it is to make it.
The only thing is, if you build it, you know what's in it, and how good it's built. Cheap Chinese is a crap shoot, IMHO.
Rick is correct,no need to send door unless you have a magnet missing.you can pull bottle and tube out also..I usually give them a bath in the sink when I do them anyways...gotta show them the luv...
If you want to keep it simple, swap batteries when you refill your juice. I'm not sure what kind of batteries you're using, but nearly all of the better ones will easily get you through 6ml of juice [emoji846]
Master of Bassets...and not much else
i notice the vape gets a bit anaemic at about 3.6v. If the vape is like that and you measure your battery voltage at, say, 3.9v, then it's time to clean the firing pin in whatever way is best for the version you have.

Rob would pitch a fit on occasion about the... erm... "kinda messy" stuff he would get in for repair some times. Beyond being a common courtesy some of the Reos were just - gross.
I've definitely seen some questionable material in some! Lol But for the majority they are well kept.
We had a customer who is also a logger,send in a grand that had been run over by a skidder with chains,not long after starting the day...dug it out of the ground...couldn't get the door out..he snapped the attie but was able to get the remainder...had a carto in his truck,and he could finish the day vaping...pissah! We got the door out,widend the door tracks,did a rebuild,and a haircut, it went home brand new...other than the appearance.....the reo grand!!!!
Messing around with it a bit. Little tweaks with the coil and such. All good.
