Both atties (the RM8 and the modified one) work on my Grand LP, but neither work or either of my two woodvils. I'm so confused.:confused:

Hate to point out the obvious, but sometimes thats the best place to start. Be sure your button is not locked. With the door down, you should be able to see the button making contact with the striker. I have also had that striker spin so make sure it is perpendicular to the button or it will not fire- or worse it will always fire (in which case, simply pull the battery). If you must adjust the striker, its easiest to do by taking the bottle off, holding the striker with tweezers and spinning the nipple with toothless pliars back down to catch the striker in the proper perpendicular position (say that 3 times fast!) Hope this helps- I know how frustrating it is when a mod wont work, but luckily, theres only a few things to check on a Reo.

The RM2 was working fine on the woodvils, both of them. Just couldn't get either of the RM8s to work on them. I stuck a piece of paper between the the striker and plate on the yellowheart to make sure it was making contact and it was. For some reason, after that, it started working with the modified RM8 (the button is all the way right on both). I adjusted the 510 grub screw once again and tried that with the the lacewood and the other RM8 and it's working now also. Sheesh. I have to admit I'm still clueless, but they are both working. Thanks for the suggestions. Now I have three working mods. :)

Today shall be a day of rest. Worked way too much for my liking last week. One day weekend for me. Need to take my youngest out driving in the cemetery this morning (learner's permit) then drop her off at work and kick the feet up. Not a big one for television but Game of Thrones season finale is on tonight as well as the Ray Donovan season premier...some of my favorites.


Ray Donovan??!! I thought it was all over? Gotta go google!!!

Thanks - I've used up my lazy credits. (Didn't want to go through that whopper P67 thread searching for the answer.)

My Reo Nirvana would be: P67, SL body with SL door, in red. :wub: And Kay - I called dibs on that first. So don't even think about it. :pervy:

It's all yours darlin..I'm wanting a solid RED one:D

Aw jeez - you mean I gotta actually go and research that thread now? Precedents is precedents. :glare:


Yah...but he told me clearly that I'd get red right after he got his replicator....I think that means a big fat NO...

Sounds to me that one of them was locked and the other wasn't adjusted out far enough to make contact. Glad they are working for you now...

Right now, just the one mod. LP Reo Grand.
I'm running the RM2, and going to pick up another...this is my first Reo.
I always test my coils before putting it on the Reo, hopefully I won't have problems.
I think I'll get at least another 5.
I honestly think the 5 you have would be plenty. I assume 2 per mod. lol But always good to have extra!

I had emailed just inquiring what parts in general to pick up for doomsday prep. I have a LP ReoGrand.
This was Rob's reply...
Hello Lori

I would want a couple

springs
push buttons
positive contacts
spare bottles
feed tubing

With a hand full of each the mod will last a life time . You can also buy a complete rebuild kit for any reo Hope that helps

Rob


I also got one of the 510 replacement things too.
I ordered 4 of the firing pins
I think 5 of everything else.

I'm at work, so just short and sweet...Have a great day all, will check back in at lunch. ;)

Last month I sat down and pulled up the website, and made up a list of all the parts and pieces of all my REO's. (Woodvils, Grands, and the 14500 mini's) I wrote down what I thought was a reasonable amount of each, once I was done, I totaled everything up and it came out to around $560.00.:shock: I ended up reducing the quantity on everything, and crossing some things from the list, to come out to about $250.00. That was much better, but I plan on doing it again this month, in order to get the amount I really wanted, and the things I didn't order. It is most likely over kill, but that is just the way I usually do things for everything e-cig related that I buy, get extra parts. I just made the list up myself, I never occurred to me to ask Rob first.:glare:

I'm just thinking if this truly ends up to be the doomsday that we've all been fearing, as in, if congress, or none of these lawsuits come through, I just want some cushion.
Like you said, always good to have extra. :laugh:

My spare parts last order came to $120.00, I think that was with shipping though, but I got bottles, and an extra 510 thing. Which he said I'd prob never need, but I got one anyway, cuz I'm "that" person that "it" WILL happen to.
If I'm shopping for clothing, and there's one item in the whole entire store with a ginormous snag, I'll end up not noticing it until I get home. :facepalm:

Lol's, I kind of needed to ask him first because I'm green as green can get. :lol: But I'm learning. ;)

Besides, if we all have extra, if someone comes along who is in need, we'll be able to help out.

I'm going to pick up another RM2, and of course I didn't think to get extra door magnets, AND, it NEVER occurred to me that I could order an extra door!!
My mod is black, my door is the silver hammertone door, but those brass patina doors are calling out to me. :facepalm:
So...I see another total order creeping upwards. :lol:

WOW...I just put in an order myself for all kinds of spare parts, to the tune of around $200!

Poor Rob is gonna have to create a huge stockpile of spare parts:D

Yeah the 510 was one of the things, I crossed off my list. I still want a couple of them, with all these parts I could almost build one myself, except for the fact that I have no skills to do so. I got my first REO's about a year ago, and I am still learning, but I know enough to get me by now. My knowledge on the BF atty's is very limited, I bought a bunch of the Chalice III's, and 2 of the Origen O-16'S. I never even tried any of Robs atty creation's, but the RM2's would be a good one for me, and the RM10's look like they would be good for any vaping style. Then of course I would also like to get one of the Brass patina's, and a P67 but I need my parts first.:|

Started back up last night. Just watched it and was pleased.


Well..I googled and flipped tv channels and even stood on my head...and I still can't find it! My cable service really sucks...I have G of T on record for every new eppie..and last night's didn't record...which has happened with many series over the past few months...unfortunately, this co. has my area locked in, the only other option is satellite:(:grr:

Lori...if your Reo is a grand, I have a brass patina door just sitting around lamenting in it's loneliness and non-use....if you want it, it's yours.
