You heard about Clyde's legendary patience.

Jup, even met Clyde via the hangout a time or two

The center pin just screws out and the new one screws in. I built one and put it on my Infected mod just to give it a test run. Surprisingly good air flow! 2.5mm, 26gK dual coils at about .33 vaped very well. I only gave it a quick wash with. Soap and water, but it still tastes like machine oil, so I'll have to clean it proper before trying with the squonk. So far I'm very very pleased. I'll probably order 2 more just to use on my tube mechs. lol. And heck, it only took 2 weeks through fasttech, which surprised me! lol

very kewl!!! not so much about the machine oil, but good excuse to buy vodka!! lol

Well crap.. my latest "rescue" from the classys has a loose 510 which makes it leak inside and pool at (and out) the bottom. I tried to tighten it up but it still wants to spin and is still leaking. I don't know whether I should pm the guy who sold it to me and mention it or not..

that stinks. Have you left your feedback yet? He may not have known the gasket was cracked, and could have thought the leaking was inherent or his fault, if it was his only one, but should have at least mentioned it. I agree with letting him know.

-wouldn't fire. Then I noticed a tiny little threaded dohicky rolling around on my desk that I eventually ascertained to be the 510 connector's center pin. Using the supplied Allen head wrench, I screwed it in until it came up snug. Works great now. I've never messed with the adjustable center pins before, so what I want to know is--Is that good enough just snugging it in?

Jup they can come out if you aren't careful, but only if they're screwed all the way up. I have one that won't fire attys til it's been raised at least a full turn, but it's still never fallen out. So you're good

and we need pics of it please

I recently ordered an extra spring, a couple atty screws and a spare bottle tube.

If this happened to me I would be thoroughly pi$$ed... Especially when they replied to a comment in the ad that read..."This is a LP REO with sub-ohm contacts on original 510 style connector that is working fine." I personally would contact them to ask for the repair cost and shipping and if they refused I would amend the feedback for the transaction to show the problem and let ECF know about it at the same time... That is just me though, but they were asked and they responded it was in good working order and it clearly wasn't...

Last I knew, I think Rob charges like $25 for a new adjustable 510 installed...

At the very least I would be asking for a refund to cover the cost of the repair. I don't recall anything mentioned about a problem with this one.

^^This right here...

oh dang...........yeah if they said that I would do all of the above as well. And would let ECF know that they misrepresented. If they do make it good, of course let them know that as well. That just helps protect everyone if it's an habitual thing......not saying it is though. Didn't see the ad, and no idea who the seller is.

Just got my skidder-crunched Grand back yesterday from Robert. Had it shaved to a low-pro and ss 510 connector installed while it was there--which brings me to my question. After looking it over a bit, I built a coil, wicked it, put a battery in and went to fire it up--wouldn't fire. Then I noticed a tiny little threaded dohicky rolling around on my desk that I eventually ascertained to be the 510 connector's center pin. Using the supplied Allen head wrench, I screwed it in until it came up snug. Works great now. I've never messed with the adjustable center pins before, so what I want to know is--Is that good enough just snugging it in?(Robert is out for the weekend or I'd have shot an email to him). Anyone?

If it still fires all the way snugged down, I would leave it like that.
The Idea is so you can adjust the positioning of the Atty. You can move the air hole to whatever position you want. Comes in handy if your RM2 is not situated in the position you would like.
I have several of the newer 510's, and I am not a big fan. But once it is set up properly, it still vapes like a Reos. And that is all that matters.

Finally found all you other Reonauts!! I was so sad to see the forum closed but very tickled for Rob to finally kick up his heels a bit, he has deserved it for all the hard work and devotion he has shown so many

Good to see ya! Glad you found us. We can do tech questions here of course, but there is also a tech thread here, REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk and I think another chat type thread that papaw started, but don't have the link to that one

i'm not sure how an adjustable 510 does anything more than add another break in continuity to the electrical path and therefore another voltage drop.

In my ideal world the bottom of an atty would be the same size as the top of a battery and screw straight onto it hybrid style. Unfortunately people that try similar systems haven't the intelligence to avoid short circuits and end up venting their batteries.
Regrettable Darwinism.

In my ideal world, atty manufactures would make all 510s the same length.

Hey, REOnauts!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

But then you'd have to get the battery Mfg's to make all batteries the exact same length... I'm thinking there are too many variables here for everyone to be on the same page. You'd be asking Int'l Mfg's to work to the same specs as American Mfg's and that just ain't gonna happen. Not to mention all the hooples out there!!!

Got my 2nd FastTech order in today. 2 derringers w/ velocity decks! Fat Daddy Vapes sells squonk pins that seem to fit perfectly. I may have to order a couple more just for my mechs. lol

Looks good. You may consider cutting the FatDaddy squonk pin down so it is closer to flush with the deck instead of protruding that high from the deck. You will get some drainage as well. Also, always check the bottom of the atty and make sure that part of the squonk pin has no way to make contact with any negative metal. There is one part of the insulator I can't see but the rest looks good.

Just some thoughts for ya[emoji106]

Morning Reonauts! I am putting together a shopping list and could use some guidance of what replacement parts I should buy for the future in case I need to repair my REOs. Any advice?

What kind of Reos ? I would recommend Battery Springs (and screws), Door Magnets, and Firing Pin. If you have an adjustable 510 connector, a few of the center post/ screws would be included. I keep a dozen or so of the O-rings, both sizes, on hand. And if you are real ambitious include a rebuild kit for your Reos.
But that might just be me doing an overkill. The Spa is still available.

i did wonder if anyone would roll with this, but the point is that either the 510 is adjustable or the atty is - they don't both have to be.

As an aside - i think a lot of vapers' problems are caused by battery manufacturers overstating the ability of their products and our lack of telling them to not use them.

When the world was a simple place i bought a battery holder and i bought the best batteries i could afford to run it ( because i am a very pretty man). i did wonder about the batteries as i grew to know more about them, but i was never screwing them in the way i now do.

Here's the derringer https://m.fasttech.com/products/0/10012406/4567302-derringer-v3-styled-rda-rebuildable-dripping
The FDV are "BF RDA Replacement Contacts". The site is all one page under shop, so I can't link it.
They screw in with a 2mm Allen key.

Just be very mindful of exactly what you end up with in your shopping cart if you start looking at different cap options from the drop menu on that very same page. You can easily end up looking at something that doesn't have a V3 deck. Check all the images for anything you are viewing before you order it.

She returned from her trip to the dentist today complaining that they had delayed her a full hour. And i'm glad they did (that's what i pay them for) so she then went shopping for a new coffee machine and so on and so on.

i don't drink coffee either, so a Keurig will mean more to you than me. i have to say it's a nice looking device, but coffee is not the same unless there's a Chalice in in (yes Kay).

Storms are passing here and my generator is working, cos you test that crap in Texas.

Oh, and in New York(HRH has a friend there). Pinkie!

Always do! lol. Even on stateside sites. Learned that the hard way when buying (of all things) boots online. Thought I got the right pair, ended up with side zip (that I can't stand on 8" boots. lol.

Yeah, but its more challenging outfitting ourselves this way, don't you think?
