Does anyone know if Rob is around- tried to call him...my Reo VVG came today...was so excited, but it appears to be DOA...nothing fires at all and no voltage at center pin and threads w/ known good batteries that test out fine. I have tried to call. I will try PM next and email.
There could be an easy solution like taking the delrin cover off but I don't want to do anything without talking to him first.


Probably a stupid suggestion, but you did move the on/off switch? On is to the left.

Not a stupid suggestion at all! If it was me with the problem I can almost guarantee it would be the on/off switch! Actually, I didn't even know there was an on/off switch! :facepalm:

That is impressive. Despite my laziness, those rebuildables are looking more interesting with every new post. Are they better than an hh357?

I have absolutely zero intention on using anything but a RBA from now on. There is no comparing the RBA's to a standard type atty. The cheapo RBA's are leaps and bounds ahead of the standard type attys. It is also getting much ezr to get good quality wick and wire now.

I would have to agree...I started out with a cheapy Pheonix to make sure I could build coils and to learn on......the flavor, vapor and throat hit are amazing and you don't get that tightening up after a day or 2 vaping like you do with regular atties

At least he didn't FORGE your name...TWICE... cuz he was too lazy to walk to the door! Lol ( two different Reos deliveries)

And he's so dumb, he didn't even spell it correctly!!

This is exactly what happened to me every time. I just started sending them to work. Sale days are always on the weekends so I know its going to be a weekday delivery. Plus my mail man knows who I am. I am a local celebrity! (not) But i will say it has its benefits. My cars CVOV Police Interceptors alternator died and I had to park in on the loop in town with the flashers on. The police were at my house 2 min later questioning DW. Good thing I called her first! The K5DPF Ham plates don't help.

Amazing- Rob called me!! Wow...and walked me through a few things. No, it wasn't the on/off switch...could have been under the cover, but after removing it and putting it back on, it is working awesomely now!! Thanks Rob, you are the Gold Caped (w/ silver fringe) Mod Master that never lets us down!! :)

Hey Prophetz, can you drop me a pm and let me know where you get your wick? I have some 34g ni chrome and have experimented with ss mesh and cotton yarn but I think I like silica best overall.

I am getting a dryer hit from Nichrome than kanthol. Is this all in my head. Silica is the bomb. Horray. .

I always think I am in top of things. So glad you are carrying that. See of you can carry some ERAs with aluminum tops that match the REOs. I really want a black and metal.
