This Old Man wants to Try New Things....

[PapawBrett]

When you receive your Grand, I heartily recommend that you cut a small angle into the very end of the draw tube. Sometimes the tube will suction to the bottom of the juice bottle. By cutting a small angle into the end of the draw tube you can prevent this from happening.

Thanks Papaw...I will do it!

I have been preparing to stalk my postman...poor guy...I bet he wonders what is in my vape mail....LOL

Edit: It is due on Wednesday...along with batteries but the cyclone isn't coming until Thursday.... I guess I will just have to admire it for a day!

 

[PapawBrett]

You could apply a light coat of auto wax to the exterior finish of you Reos while waiting for your Cyclone.

By the way, I woke up at a Fuel Stop in Austinville, VA this morning (I-77 between Wytheville, VA and Mt. Airy, NC) and there was a UPS Tractor with two 'Pup' trailers pulled off to the side, asleep. I couldn't help but wonder if anyone's Vaping Supplies were waiting there.....

Maybe my new espresso grinder is in there. It's due Thursday. Already got the new machine

omnitester and new batts ordered.. dual coil atty (pdib's nuppin') ordered! Now all I gotta do it is contact Rob and send off the grands for a hair cut! As much as I hate to do it... there's gonna be a batch of provari's in the classys soon

 

[PapawBrett]

I was just informed last night that the new 510 connector is still 6- 8 weeks out. Debating with myself if I want to wait that long or just get the haircut and contacts now....

Does this mean if I want a new 510 connection I will have to send her bacK?

Papaw, she arrived today,,,GORGEOUS mod..the cyclone arrived as well. So I built a 0.8 ohm coil (on the nose). 6 wraps of 28G Kanthal. I have it all wicked and ready to go for when the batteries and drip tip arrive. I will take pics tomorrow, I guess.

Cannot wait to squonk it!

Drifter, I watched your KGD video today...nice tutorial!

 

[PapawBrett]

Actually, either I am lucky or Reos are just that good (the latter probably) but I have never, not once had an issue with a Reos. And I've had 11 over two years time, most for a year or more. I might just get the Haircut and Contacts for my older Grand, as I am still debating with myself if I would actually 'need' the new 510...
Want to see Pictures when you get her set up now !

LOL Yeah Papaw but she's half naked at the moment...no batteries and no tip. Both are to arrive tomorrow...definitely posting pics....

I haven't heard anything about "new 510s" What's going on?
Both of my grands are packaged up for their trip to the barber tomorrow. The Nuppin', batts and omnitester have shipped! I need a tester because I've always just checked resistance with a provari but it only reads down to .8Ω so .8Ω is the lowest I've ever tried to build.

 

[muzichead]

New 510's are in the works according to the ModMaster General... They are several weeks out though. They will be all SS and Hoopleproof, so he says!! He will inform us as to when they will be available as he does with everything else...

 

[Filthy-Beast]

Reo's have been working fine for years with the current 510. Only issue I've heard of is people who hoople the center pin messing with it or stripped threads from drops with the RBA getting shifted in the threads.

Do I plan to change a few to the new style, sure at some point. Just for the apocalypse, as that is the only part I cannot easily create and replace. I would not wait on a purchase or a hair cut for the new SS 510s

 

[Bassnorma]

OK...waiting for batteries to charge...baby grand wants to go squonking...


So, I guess in the meantime...she'll take a walk down the runway and let the cameras flash...


Oh NO! I am charged up and ready to go....


And ever so...squonkable...


YUMMMMY...I am getting the hang and loving the flavor...it makes my Poet Amaretto actually taste like Amaretto and not maple syrup...lol...loving the 0.8 ohm micro coil on this lovely little vape monster!!!

 

[Roscoe01]

Beautiful rig Bassnorma! CONGRATS

 

[Bassnorma]

Thanks Roscoe...I think she is lovely too...

There are a lot of firsts for me today (inspired my Papaw's enthusiasm)...

First Mech
First Reo
First Squonk
First 18650 battery vape

LOVING IT!!!!

Papaw, I didn't trim the tube because I didn't know how much to trim. Do you have a pic?

 

[PapawBrett]

Beautiful REOS. Welcome to real dripping flavor without the drip !
As far as trimming the feed tube, wait and try it as it is. Maybe yours will be just right, as I haven't had to trim all of mine. But if you encounter 'Dry Squonks', where you push the bottle and nothing rises up to the RBA, then you may have to 'trim' the bottom END of your feed tube. You don't shorten it, one side should stay the same length. Just cut an ever-so-slight angle into the very bottom of the tube. If your feed tube suctions itself to the bottom of the on-board bottle, that's how you would correct it.
Still playing with my RM5. After several failed attempts at twisted coils, vertical coils, parallel coils... I went back to what I know. 8/9 wrap, 29g on 3/32 drill bit. Twin 1.2 ohm (0.6 total) with fresh rayon wicks.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

I use a paring knife and cut an inverted V in the end, you don't need to shorten it.

 

[Bassnorma]

Thanks guys! I appreciate the tube tutorial...so far...so good. But I will cut a small v if needed...

 

[PapawBrett]

Bossnorma, now that you are Officially a REONaut, you should post a thread on this forum (Reos Mods) something like "My First Reos !", and add a few pictures. By this time tomorrow you will have at least 20 new friends, and a whole lot of friendly advice.
And, if he's not to busy, a 'Welcome' from redeyedancer. The man who made your Reos.
