Just a reminder that Rob said the Ultem will not hold up to subΩ setups...I'll be on it, quick.
The only leaks I've had were from the bottle cap of the FIB that I use now. Sometimes I don't tighten them enough...I'm the same way about my REOs. In addition to my Woodvils, I have 4 Grands and 2 P67s. I've yet to bathe any of them. I've never had reason to. If I have a leaking juice bottle or tube, I look for the source right away and clean it up. I actually haven't had a leak of any kind since converting the Grands to the new 510s. I used to get a drip every once in a while in my black ano, at the tube connector, prior to having it converted. I clean the contacts every once in a while, put Deoxit on them, and that's about it. I rarely even pull the tube off.
I have bought from the classies, but not any Reo's though...So you don't buy much from the classifieds I take it then...![]()
Where you located? I have a couple I will never use.Lost/misplaced the white mouthpiece that goes on my Origen Little 16. REO Grand is feeling neglected. Anyone know where I can get the mouthpiece or one that fits?
Never bought a Reo off the classies, but have bought a few atty's. They get torn down and bathed on receipt...So, I'm the only one that once a month I take the delrin off and put the REOs in a hot bath? I can't stand the thought of having eliquid under that delrin just sitting there getting nasty. If you have bought a use REO - you never know if someone else ever cleaned it out or not...and trust me - until you see one with 2 years worth of gross...eewww can't talk about it.
I rinse them a few time a week but I do dry them/leave the over night on a towel to air dry. Glad I haven't bought a P67 yet then.
If you look back at any of the video's or comments Rob made about bathing the Reo, it was with the delrin insert in place. He has said on multiple occasions that the less you have to take the insert out, the less chance of stripping out the screw hole... This has been remedied on the P67 as the back is thicker and allowed for more threads now, but the grand has very few...
There are only 2 reasons for having liquid seep into the delrin insert. Either you have massively over squonked or the feed pin nipple is loose. All it would take is 1 leak and the problem would be fixed and not worried about again... If I over squonk, the device is immediately wiped clean... I just recently had the feed pin nipple loosen on one of mine and just took the bottle off and tightened the nipple in place. This of course couldn't have been done with the old 510, but very easy with the new one.
