The REOville lounge

[Spydro]

Hoping some of our other Reonauts find their way here @PapawBrett @Papa_Lazarou @Sloth Tonight. Let’s remind our friends where we are now.

You are always the positive and inspirational lady here now days Robin... following in the footsteps of Jan, Calole, Karen, and many others who have come and gone on Reoville. In part because of you I still reminisce the fond 60's memories along the Russian River.

Hey Reofolks, just checking in.

Haven't been on this forum much of late as I'm currently not vaping (no, not smoking, either).

Similar here... I had been loosing interest in vaping for a year plus, laid them to rest early last November. Have looked at them now and then, but just don't care about them anymore. Just clutter so they are on the way out. I was in the crowd of those who stocked up for the vaping Armageddon very early on.... bought enough gear to outfit 3 armies, enough DIY supplies to last me 8-10 years. It's all dump and drain fodder now as I get to them.

I also laid the forum to rest in October. After running online on endless interest specific sites since the 1980's, I am burned out on them. I hope to be computer free soon as well.

So this is a farewell to especially those who ran Reoville when I did back when Robert was at the helm. When he shut down Reoville in March 2016 I left ECF for about 18 months and ran a forum in Africa. Its just been spinning wheels going nowhere on ECF since I came back to it, why I lost interest I guess.

Singing off.... Luck to you folks.

So what's to come of all those mods and attys?? I know you dont like or want to sell stuff.. but seems crazy to just toss them into the trash.

I know I'd love a few more little O 16's!

Hopefully they are all left in storage atleast.. better yet handed off to someone that can go threw the trouble of selling it off for ya for a fee.

Wishing you all the best and good luck in your future path.

Great to hear from you @Spydro and glad you are doing well. I too am so grateful for your kind words and knowledge here over the years. You are appreciated and missed. Wow and you quit vaping too!

One of these days I'll remember to whip out my reo while at dinner and grab a photo next to my 2 tall ones. Farthest thing from my mind, as I'm always.. "WHERE'S MAH BEER!!"

I'm a wierdo as I always order 2 at first so I dont have to wait around for them to remember me and have my food delivered dry on beer.

Last time I was their at the usual place a waitress didnt know me and responded to my usual order of 2 Tall Coors light.. "what 2 beers??? You dual fisting it??" Oh man my wife didn't like that at all.

She let her have it.. Only their 2 times a week atleast for like the past 4-5 years now. She had to be new as we never seen her before.. but she swears she not new. Please..

I got a P67 just before REO's closed. It leaks and has always leaked every sense I bought it. Now it has gotten worse, the batteries are getting wet now. It stops firing for know reason until I spin the battery.
( and that's with a dry battery)
Is there any guide to fix this? I know something is louse so I'm looking for a guide to repair a P67.

Hmmmm......whenever I have had a leak it is because I need to change my bottle. Have you tried that yet? I have never had trouble with the “standard” bottles from Reos (harder) but have had some leaking with the softer ones (although I do like the softies). Perhaps the tube has slipped down a tad?

Thanks I'll try that. I have nothing to louse.

Let us know. Am wondering too if the leak may be coming from your atty. Is it flush with the mod? (Sometimes an adjustment can help there too).
I know that the folks who are much wiser than myself can help too. Glad you reached out.

I have the Origen 16 rda, I need some new grub screws, I don't know the size or where to find screws, can someone please help.

Don't know the actual size of the O-16 grubs, but they are prolly M4's (the most typically used screw - it just means a 4mm diameter). You can buy them here: McMaster-Carr

They're cheap, so you could bracket the M4 size to be safe (ie, get screws in the range M3-M6). As far as length, you can measure the length of your existing screws (if you can't someone in here could do that for you).

ETA: here's a place in Campbell River that will most likely carry M4's and the like: Fastenal | Industrial Supplies, OEM Fasteners, Safety Products & More

 

[Danrogers]

Thanks Papa, going to the place in Campbell Rivers tomorrow, I'm hopefull they will be able to help.

If you are unable to find them just PM me. I have some extras that came with my O-16’s.

Thanks from one Reonaut to another.

 

[Danrogers]

I went to Fastenal in Campbell River and ordered the grub screws, should get them by Monday.

The correct size grub screw is M3 x 3mm. Thanks again Papa for telling me where to look.

No prob, Dan. You getting out in this wonderful weather? I'm, like, a month ahead of schedule on the yard work.

 

[Danrogers]

I did a lot of the yard work in Nov., March will see me doing the rest. It's been a little cool in CR, I like to do most of my work earlier rather than later.

I've been spending my days lately exploring all the interesting places on the north island.
