What am I doing wrong ? REO Grand, 18490, and a kick.

YAY!!!! There's nothing worse than a REO that you can't use!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I finally got it working, and used Sunchae's tip (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/238603-kicked-reo-grand-18490-a-24.html). Cost me $1.08 at Ace Hardware for a thin piece of brass to go run along the inside and below the spring (Pic below). Also seems to have steadied the Kick. Anyways, I'm happy now, and am impressed by the REO Grand.

Glad you got it to work! The REO's are exceptional PV's. I can't stand for anyone to have problems with their first one! Your problem was a challenge but it worked out just fine!

Enjoy vaping on the best.....a REO!

It's the silver. What type of wire should I try, and how should I wrap it ? Have some 32 AWG. Would that work ?

I cut up a beer can. Cut out a strip about 1/2" wide. Tucked one side under the battery spring, and ran the strip along the side so that the kick's spring would touch it.

Edit: Doh, I'm late to the party
