This one should be tasty.

Jim Tom, my SL Grand, is loaded up with some Boba's Bounty.

And yes, cornbread tonight. :headbang:

Hi everyone,
Hope all are well! I miss being here and need to stop in more.

Work work work, I promise when I bought the house last December I didn’t think I’d be working every day. If it weren’t for my reos I would have probably started smoking again :confused:

For which REO model? :unsure:

It's an older grand. I just need to know what the dimensions are and whatnot. I can use it without the screw obviously but it'd be great if I could get the screw at a hardware store or figure out the dimensions and order it. I know nothing about screws though! :p

I thought that I might have had some spares, and while I do have 2 of them, I really don't want to part with them. I have 2 grands, and only 2 spare screws. :oops: If no one else speaks up, I guess I could try to figure out what size they are, these are really some tiny screws. I did try to measure the length and it looks like 13/16" long, I am not sure I have any way of figuring out the diameter though. :unsure: Sorry not much help, I know. :oops:

Well that gives me something to go on. Maybe if we figure this out we can add it to the REO components superthread. Yeah that 13/16" length is helpful. Yeah I wouldn't want to ask anyone to part with their spares considering the circumstances of the mod being discontinued and the volatile legality of the e-cig market right now. I just have to figure out where I'd go to ask the right questions lol.

I forgot I had a small manual set of calipers. The length is 20mm, In metric the marks don't line up for the diameter, but fractional it says 1/16" on the outside of the threads. I don't remember how threads this small are measured, then there is the threads per inch thing. :unsure:

This is great man thanks! I did a google search and learned that miniature screws are measured in "Unified Miniature" thread size or, "UNM" apparently. I'm going to e-mail a couple of these UNM fastener companies with the dimensions you've listed above and see what I get back lol. If I can get a straight answer and it works out, I'll buy a bunch and everyone here can have some.

I am not sure if they measure these from the top of the head to the tip, but that is the way I measured the length. Also these are a flat head screw. :|

    My notes say it's this size:
    #2-56 x 7/8" Phillips Drive Flat Head Grade 18-8 Stainless Steel Machine Screw | Fastenal
    McMaster-Carr
    Have never ordered to confirm tho.

    Edit: However measuring one shows 13/16" total length?
    This is for a Grand bought in 2015
    Where is Rob when you need him?:(

    I'll give it a shot if the shipping isn't too expensive and I'll report back here.
