i'm really liking photobuckets edit feature for cropping and fixing pics. can add borders and stuff so much easier than paint or other programs

Andy, you're photo is so beautiful. I think you just convinced me to open a photobucket account. I need it to make my Reo signature thingy anyway and should have done it a long time ago.

So there's a light on that is always on when it's not in use? Wouldn't that drain the battery then when you set it down?

Assuming that it's an LED, they pull very, very little power. You probably won't notice the difference.

Does anyone have issues with the plank doors? On a journeyman I have it doesn't work well unless the bottle of juice is really full. Is it the same with the REO?

The plunger is adjustable. You can make it longer to compensate for a bottle that is lower on juice. Sometimes I just slide the door up and squonk. In fact I like the door without a plunder. Just a plain plank door. Don't mind at all sliding wood.

Mine should be here in a couple hrs but my batteries wont be here til tmrw. I do have some 16340 for my journeyman. Did I read somewhere that those work too? Do they work as well?

Karla, they will work fine. 16340 as in 3,7v

But not over a polyurethane finish!! Waxes can actually dull a polyurethane finish.

Dang Richard, that is one helluva great looking REO!

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

The notcig mods do but you can always add your own with a colored marker if the reo doesnt..

well that raises the question of what finish we all got and how to tell

Thanks Karen!!!! That means alot comming from you!!

I have to say I'm beyond impressed with the way this looks!!!!!! Rob you are an artist!!!!!

Yup. True. I think most of the ones in this batch were poly-coated. Only one cocobolo had a poly coat and sashie's jatoba had an oil finish.

 

[colt45]

maybe have to ask rob, mine is jatoba/jobillo

 

[unsure]

That's what I was figuring happened when I saw you say it wouldn't be there til Fri. Especially with Priority mail. It should only take 2 days. So happy for you. I love the one you chose. I'm still waiting for my mailman to knock.

Yep your right. Normally it does but my Tesla was shipped late on a thursday night and I got on monday.

You mean it will only work to vape at 3.7 not to use the VV?

I always use the Howard's on my poly coated REO's. I have not noticed any build-up after a year on most of mine. It has a lot of oil in it and does offer UV protection if you buy the Sunshield. I would not use a wax if I noticed it dulling or building up over the poly.

With a poly coat, you're cleaning the poly - not the wood. A damp cloth is usually all that's needed. I read that you can use diluted mineral spirits and/ or diluted vinegar for tough build ups.

I have tried marking my batteries with a "Permanent" Sharpie marker, but it rubbed off fairly quickly just from handling them. I would like to run my batteries in matched pairs for safety and don't know how to tell them apart. Has anyone found something neater that nail polish with its brush applicator to mark on batteries with?

I had a used AW IMR 14500 go nuclear on me in my pocket in the grocery store a few months ago. It got madly hot and was burning me through my pocket on my leg. I took it out of my pocket, burned my hand doing so, and threw it on the floor and then went and alerted the store office so they could remove it immediately and treat it with safety. (I told them it could blow up, which I doubt it would outside of a unvented container), because I wanted them to have the removal person to be extra careful. The battery in question had not acted strangely before it suddenly got so hot in my pocket. I did have a little change in the pocket that it may have come in contact with and it was too hot to touch as well.

Normally, I love and trust AW high drain batteries; however, I just want to be extra careful because I don't want anything to harm my beautiful new vv Woodvil or me either. Hence, I want to run my batteries (both 18350s and 16340s) in matched sets within their respective sizes.

great now I'm really confused. so should I get the wax? I had it in my cart at amazon but didn't place the order yet. Are these Polyurethane Finishes on the Reos? Should I not use the feed n wax wood polish?

With a poly coat, you're cleaning the poly - not the wood. A damp cloth is usually all that's needed. I read that you can use diluted mineral spirits and/ or diluted vinegar for tough build ups.

Understood. The poly is covering the wood surface. I like the wax on mine. I like the UV protection also. I have made some of the older REO's with the poly coat shine by using the wax. None of the finishes show they have been harmed in any way by the Howard's wax.

Everyone can use their own judgement and decide. Robert did say a damp cloth would be fine for cleaning.
