What Have We Here?

[NatGasMan]

Yup thanks!

As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to have to. Must be some residual machine oil somewhere.

Yeah, I have just washed some of my attys with water and soap and it doesn't get rid of the machine oil taste. So when that happened to me, I soaked it in PGA and viola, no more funky taste. You don't need to soak it very long. Just a few minutes and maybe use an old tooth brush on it.

Ok I take that back. The funky flavor is still lingering.

Maybe I didn't wash it out well enough? Man I really don't want to rip it apart.

I had another rda a long time ago that seemed to be immune to dawn, toothbrush, everclear and the UC. Once I realized the oil was down inside the post holes I took off the screws and got soap/dawn in there with bristle tips. Took me two weeks to figure that out!

Just took it apart again and realized I didn't take out the allan screws in the posts first time around. Going to give it a good soak in some alcohol.

Thanks for the tips!

+1. Always remove screws

OK all cleaned up boiled and rinsed about 6 times soaked in alcohol and boiled another few times, no funky flavor!

This RM4 seems to be a decent atty. Some decent flavor and some decent clouds at around .5ohm on a dual coil.

This is awesome. I am truly speechless at how awesome of a device this is.

Boil it....Had an atty I bought from eBay before I found ECF that took a few times in boiling water to get the machine oil out of it.



hmmmmm guess I should have kept reading....lol

Welcome to the neighborhood

 

[chohan]

So how does this work now? I just send all my money to Rob, and he keeps me supplied with vaping bliss?

Ayup... pretty much.

This is unreal.

I thought there was SOMETHING to this, but this is brilliant. Absolute genius.

Mr. O'Neil, I LOVE YOU MAN

Congrats and welcome to the tribe.

 

[RSZ1]

Thanks for welcomes everyone!

After doing some running around this evening, this Reo just keeps getting better.

Driving around vaping is dangerous now, blowing huge clouds.

 

[BockinBboy]

Yeah, just crack the window and blow from the left corner of your mouth - gets sucked right out the window do you don't blow that red light =P (or I guess it might be to the right if you drive on the wrong side of the road like some of those across the pond do >.>)

Yeah congrats . I will get my first TRA any day now (ordered yesterday). Aside from my woodvil this will be my first non-blem purchase from Rob.

It's a TRA SL LP

I'm prolly more excited than the OP

The one that I had sent was blemished?

 

[keepsmiling]

Tada!

She's lovely, congrats! Now she needs a name.

Dunno - did you order a blem? Even if you did, rest assured the blem, if you find it will likely be so insignificant that you won't give a damn and just revel on how you paid classies price for a brand new REO

I always buy blems but like Rob says, it's hard to blemish a non painted mod like the TRA I ordered

I saw nothing I'd consider a blem on any of the 7 them that I have bought except a very very small micro unfinished area or scratch on the clear anodized VVG.

I always buy blem unless you just can't get one in a color you want and avoid purchasing REOs from the classies unless you know the seller has a reputation for clean mods / good hygiene

 

[RSZ1]

I dub thee, The Flying Cloud!

As a testament to my new found Reo love, I sold all my vape gear last night save for 1 tube mech mod, and 2 RDA's. All packed up and ready to go to the post office.

I FEEL SO LIBERATED!

I've washed the rm4 1 time with soap, 2 times with washing up liquid, each time washing very thouroughly with a toothbrush and whatnot, and i've put it for 1 hour in an ultrasonic cleaner with washing up fluid. Of course each time i rinsed it with care. It still reeks machine oil, i don't know what to do next... Worst part is it seems ok until you fire the coil for a few secs and the flavor comes back. Might be the insulator, hard to determine. Same taste as machine oil though.

I bought a clone last month which had the exact same problem (Quasar, i'll have to look up the manufacturer to see if it's the same one.) i've tried other things with it, to no avail. I simply gave up after the 5th time.

I know the drill, i've had a number of RDAs and some were hard to clean but those two, i'm at loss...

[cracoucax]

Didn't see there were further responses. I did remove the screws and boiled the quasar several times with no change, arrg. I'll try a night in pga...

vinegar is a great mild acid to use to strip the oil, soak and then tooth brush with the vinegar.
