VV REOS Part VI

[unsure]

YAY!!! If mine doesn't show up with the mail I'll run up to the post office and see if I can beg the packages out of them. It's a small town. They only have one shelving unit for packages. Shouldn't be too much of a bother for them.

It should show up in tracking at your local PO just not OUT FOR DELIVERY. In which case go scoop it up. Mine has no movement so it will be on friday. Im cool since I already got mine. I hope no one has to wait till friday for theirs.....sorry for those not in the USA. Not much can be done to rush those...

My dilema. The last time I used my inline volt meter on my Reo Grand, I ended up shorting the Grand and blowing the spring. Its unclear if it was the fault of the meter or a bad gasket on the Grand. The Grand has since been sent to Rob for repair, but hasn't reached him yet. I've since tried the meter on an Ego-T battery and its working, reading it at 3.8 (no load).
My questions now...

Do you think its safe to try this meter on my new VV?

If not, is there a way to check the voltage with a regular meter (the kind with the red and black leads)?

What do the dots on the pot wheel correspond to? I think they are blue, yellow, red?

Mine are out for delivery and should be here in a couple of hours. So excited!

Jeez I must have real bad eyes cause I don't see any colored dots. lol Btw I use this

on my VV Tesla with no issues.....and yes to using a multimeter to test the voltage on your new REO VV.

~ 3.5v - ~4.5v - ~5.5v

this waiting is torture I'm fighting the urge to drive the neighborhood and see where she's at

 

[hildicat]

I could have sworn the wheel to adjust volts had some colored dots on it to indicate voltage.

~ 3.5v - ~4.5v - ~5.5v

Awesome! Thanks.

 

[kabonk]

the dot are there on the notcig's PVs not sure about the VV reo

 

[nerak]

I don't see dots! But behind that little door I see a red light! Hmmmm. I am thinking that at night I need to turn it off to save some battery power!

I am living vicariously. Congrats to all the Reonauts getting their VV Reos! Post those pics!

If your meter shorted your Grand, I wouldn't risk it on the VV. It's possible that the meter connector's center post sticks out farther than the shroud around it, which can cause a REO to short. If that's the case, see if you can push it back in to make it flush with the shroud. Then it might be worth trying. If the center post is already flush, absolutely don't try it on the VV, because nothing will be different than the scenario that blew your Grand.

I got mine!!!!!!!. It is working with my flat top batteries with out any magnets. I don't really care what voltage I am using as long as it is a warm vape with billows of vapor. Besides it is nice to fluctuate voltage to experience the difference in the juice.
Thanks to Rob for quick effecient shipping.

Right on, bro! I've never been happier to be wrong!

Actually, not bro, but sis.
What is the best way to protect the wood finish?

I tend to agree. Sure don't wanna blow up my new precious. That being said, AND since the VV Reos don't seem to have the color indicator marks, how should I determine where my voltage is set? I can assume that all the way in one direction is 3.3V, the other direction is 5.6V. But which direction is up?

counter clockwise is up

Wow, USPS its actually quite fast this time around - my curly oak is already in France and customs cleared. My mail forwarder should get it tomorrow and with a bit of luck I'll have it in a week.

Post your pics, people, I need pics! *grin*

I was glad to read about the red light. I first thought something was burning up.
