The answer is probably in one of these monstrous threads, but there are so many posts.... Does anyone have a size comparison picture of the VV Grand? This will be my first Reo and it's going to be the best birthday present ever... but looking at the web site, the VV looks mighty tall. I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers, but I am curious about the size.

Welcome, Candi :)
Here is a thread that has the sizes and a few photos in the first post. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...asurements-parts-terminology.html#post2654861

Here is a link to our index we made to help find things a little easier. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/270331-free-reo-forum-thread-index.html

And here are a couple of shots from me. :)

Not sure if this helps or not...I have small hands, almost childlike in size.

Problems with cold. 4 atties blown in 2 weeks when firing it in 40 degree or so weather. Something must be spiking, these are new, good, atties, amg hybrid and Cisco. I've run these makes on other pv, with excellent longevity. My other pv, same regulator, has no problems at these temps. Confident it isn't user error, I keep them wet and don't run them too hot.

I have checked the atties, they were 2.5 ohm when opened, but open circuit after. Latest was only run 2 days. Not popping during a puff, something is zapping then immediately on button press.

Have you checked the voltage you have the mod set at? I no when I am out if I let my mod get cold its hard to feed the atomizer juice .

I'm set at 5.1, metered, well within reason for measured 2.5 ohm atties and cartos.

I'm very consistent in doing a pre-fire slight inhale before pushing the button. If I have no liquid I feed. My liquid is pretty thin, no feed issue in the cold, and I do the check.

I've been using atties most of this year, on top and bottom feeders, both vv and fixed, no problems with longevity on other devices. I've been using mods with this regulator since bp first came out.

No physical abuse (drops, etc.). Environment has been clean, dry, the cold is the only variable compared to my use of the pv in other places, including all day every day at work. I vape a consistent 6 ml/day.

Couple weeks ago I reported that Silver VVG had stopped firing but until tonight didn't check it out. And, yes it's my most used, still has original recessed button, and has taken two swims in cold, dirty dishwater. Hint............ I've used long post ERA almost exclusively on it with an o-ring on post but not first couple weeks. Center pin on VVG atty connection just needed to be pushed up a wee bit!!!! WHEW!!!!!! Looks like he won't be going home for the holidays.

Alice, mine with the original button started that way and then I had to sort of push it to the side to get it to fire...then one day, no firing. Seems all those w/ the recessed button eventually have to switch that button out for the larger one. I will say that I really do like it better this way. If you have a mini woodvil, it's the same button, just not stripped down to the copper, so take a look at that button to get an idea of what you'll have after the surgery.

Thanks. I got to handle Jack's.:facepalm: I still like the recessed better. I rarely use thumb on button so that may make a difference. Besides I'm aiming to hold record for longest working recessed button.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Hope we get to share the World Title. We are watching movie Ted. Bubs are being extremely weird. Moe Doodle ran in house like he was really scared by something and whined. We went out with powerful lights but didn't see or hear anything. Then Lily Heeler ran across yard and lunged at Jake Mastiff. They are now out there going bonkers. Spooky.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

I still have my VV Grand and VV Woodvil with original buttons. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that if the button issue causes a problem with the electronics then I will have to pay to have it fixed. Maybe not for the button, but the circuit board stuff. I also don't know how long the "free" replacement of the buttons will be offered. If I wait too long it might cost to.
