There is no click but you can go from 4.1 to 4.2 to 4.3 it can skip ahead if your not careful its easy enough to nudge it back a whisker

That was the first question our of my mouth! He said 3 weeks give or take....its just an estimate you see....waiting for parts on backorder and all that. 
He said sorry...you can only have 7.
To funny Lisa he has parts I no I sent enough parts to build a pile of reos sneaky _________
So glad you are going with a VV. You will love it especially when the atty/carto gets to the point of needing a good cleaning or, in case of carto, dumping in trash or cleaning for emergency stash, as I do with most. The voltage wheel is so easy to adjust, just slightly, and at the same time, even on the BP, where it is exposed to outside, it doesn't move easily enough to be moving when your finger goes to it instead of firing button.
Although the chip will work great with LR attys/cartos, I would recommend 2.5-2.7 range atty/carto for most versatile use, as you can adjust slightly for different juices, with good range and/or when atty/cartos need cleaning. That has been my experience. Just about any (but not all) carto/atty above 3.0 ohm, with the 5.5-5.6 volt upper limit, with the NotCigs chip, for me personally, is a little cool.
Enjoy your only two days off. Love you.
Hugs, Alice
Getting back to the REO VV I got several request PMs for the wood supplier I get mine from and I use to provide that info but the supplier ask me not to anymore since he is now selling bulk stabilized wood blocks now and doesn't have the time for special orders..... Besides Rob gets them and he makes them available when he can at a hassle and more of an expense to him.
As why I picked RED color was because of several reasons like its RED being made by Redeyedancer and cause Im ready for mine.
I'm definitely the "peanut gallery" here. RED RED RED!!!!!!!!
BTW..... I was a "girl scout" from conception, so "Unsure's Law," is firmly embedded in my make-up. BE PREPARED. Although I have plenty of short batteries, I ordered four of the AW IMR 18xxx, months ago. They are expressing impatience but I'm used to it as the 18490s were here, for months, prior to 18490 release. They messed with me every single time I went to the battery box.
Hugs, Alice

You gotta know I love ya to death but I thought is was the "Boys Scout"....Scout Law. Yes, an organization whose motto is 'Be prepared' and whose slogan is 'Do a good turn daily.'

I have to use my words carefully. For the first 10 years of my life I was really ...... that I wasn't a boy and couldn't do all the neat, risky, fun things that the boys got to do. My mother had major problems making me wear dresses from the time I was aware of the different advantages/disadvantage of gender. That's was at about age two years. I didn't have a gender identity issue as I was all too aware I was/am female (and I've been extremely glad that "I Am Woman" for most of my life, but it just wasn't fair. BoyScouts wouldn't let me join, although my parents tried. Sixth grade, last day of school, I got sent to detention, during recess, because I refused to play kick-ball with the girls, and demanded playing with the boys, because, in reality the boys played at my level. I hated playing girls hockey and basketball because girls didn't have the advantage of learning team sports behavior and anger control in sports. I was tough and didn't take too well to face slapping and hair pulling, and other "catty" tricks, so I handed out a few well deserved punches. Didn't have to do that playing with boys.
So if I said, "Boy Scout," instead of "Girl Scout" it would probably be confusing to most. I regret that I was born too early for Women's REAL Football, Basketball, Soccer, and Roller Derby. Although I trained thoroughbred and standard bred horses I was too big to be a jokey. I was around all kinds of car racing but my Dad didn't participate so that was a major disadvantage. When I first started college, in Pre-Vet, at the University of Kentucky, the two out of state universities that took Pre-Vet students, from UK, took only two students from UK's Prevet program. I had three major disadvantages..... I didn't grow up on a farm, I didn't have a 4.0 average, and I was female.
Oh yeah... one other hurdle.... but we won!!!! When I was in high school only boys were allowed to take Mechanical Drawing. Through my parents' persistence and their being friends with the Principal and Superintendent (who both gave me more suspensions than other students because they "cared" more, they said.) I was the first female student to be allowed to take Mechanical Drawing. I, now, realize, how much fun I did miss, not taking Home Ec, by being such a "Femanazi." I burned my bras in the mid 60's.
Boy Scout at heart and experience but born female (and glad to be so, now).... DH was an Eagle Scout, Feisty Alice
[edit}I did wear bras and breast binders for sports and horse riding and operating heavy, jarring equipment. Mostly "binding" as there was no such thing as "Sports Bras."

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the greatest honors I've received. I will wear my title in GOOD FAITH and DEEDS!!!!!
Many, many, thanks!!!!! DH didn't even bestow that one on me and he is a MAJOR Feminist and Charter Member of NOW.
I think I have enough merits to even be an Eagle Scout.
In past few months I pulled a small wooden box out of the safe. Something DH hadn't seen in probably 50 years, as I did all the sorting and emptying of his parent's homestead, that his mother grew up in from early 1900's. It had all of his Scout Badges and some notes written when he was a teen. It was so cool!!!!!
xoxoxoxoxo Honorary Boy Scout of America, Feisty Alice

I don't think I'm gonna need Super Glue and I'm only using REOs and a BP. Rob infuses all REOs with a magnetic/sticking substance and probably needs even less for the VV REOs.

Well I just wanted to make sure it didnt come out of my right hand Alice, I have a 4" lag bolt screw going through my grand into my left hand to make sure that one doesn't go anywhere too

I understand. You do have a bunch of QUALITY Mods that have some of that magnetism pulling at ya, too. I'm working on a design for a lightweight Kevlar type backpack, with multiple security alarms, solar charged, to put our mods in, for carrying in a grocery cart, for when we have to move under a bridge, into a cardboard hut, due to shorting IRS, to purchase REOs. First priority is care and safety of Bubs, second is security for REOs.

a lightweight Kevlar type backpack 
now that would be perfect for when the war of the worlds start and we all have to go live under the bridge for a while,,,, can you please stitch perfect pockets in it for the entire Reo line of course 8-10 of them too, maybe a couple of universal pockets too
Big big hugs now

Oh, there will be more than 10 pockets just for REOs and a bunch of pockets for other stuff (I love pockets and have a special appreciation for them as most women's clothes have no or too few pockets) panel for super duper latest tech small portable, non breakable solar panel.
We haven't purchased Kevlar in 20 years, and that was vests with lead chest panels. Sure hope there have been improvements. One of my sewing machines can handle Kevlar and even leather but I haven't used it in almost 20 years.
I've been seriously thinking about Kevlar wall lining, in our tornado shelter closet, under the steps, on first floor, instead of 3 X 1" plywood wall linings and door (3" plywood, 3 x 1") will stop most projectiles) (2 x 4 or 2 x 6 ground board has to be reinforced with about 12" steel anchors down into concrete pad.) (Door frame has to be redone.) Ten years ago I was able to handle the job myself but injuries and such make it beyond my abilities, now.) Our house has done well with 100+ straight line winds but it hasn't been tested by an F4-5 and beyond tornado. Projectiles are the main concern. That's why all REOs go into fire safe, in that closet, during weather threats and Extreme Fire Risk Levels, all 2011.

{btw... I think I talked my neighbor into moving my kazillion pound, 4 drawer, fire proof file cabinet, to her garage, from my storage locker, to store her negatives (from before digital) and letting me use one drawer. She's a professional photographer and hasn't had time to convert all her negatives to digital.)
{edit} We have an electric water heater in there but when we have severe weather warnings, I cut the breaker to it, and drain out the hot water via a pipe that goes through wall to outside spicket (I have hot and cold running out there and run hot mixed with cold to my greenhouse via laundry washer Y connector. Use it to wash dogs, too, in what remains of greenhouse, during foul weather, when waterless cleaner won't do. WH refills quickly with cold water.
