The New 510 for the REO's
- Thread starter Rob Fisher
- Start date
I can understand that @Rob Fisher
Thanks for trying
I suppose the connector assembly and its goodies are sort of like the heart of the Reo and he doesnt want things out of his control going wrong
Pity - given he is so far away and it adds to the cost to shuttle the goods there and back

So when does the first 'group send' begin 
Thanks for the trouble, @Rob Fisher. Now we know.Rob is not comfortable trusting anyone else to do the conversions I'm afraid.
Here is the costs from Rob...
"$45 to have your mod retrofitted with the new 510 connection .
That is new everything we toss the old bottle and feed tube if you want to keep it remove it before you send it in .
If your spring is in good shape we wont install a new spring and that would be - $5 from your bill
The positive contact is the same but we do have to install a new insulator the old hole on the insulator is to small Its easier to just replace it .
I have said it before and I will say it again if your not having any problems with your mod no need to upgrade .
For what it cost to me its well worth it this is a huge upgrade in the mods durability .
Yes the feed hole is slightly larger pushing the bottle should be a little easier depending on what atomizer you running . If the atomizer has a small feed hole the larger feed hole in the 510 wont make much of a difference"
Thanks Uncle Rob. I think the amount is worth it. I don't blame him for wanting to do it himself.
I probably need to watch that YouTube clip to see what it's about
Yip that is exactly the issue for him...and we need to remember that this only needs doing if you are having issues...
Here is a thread about it: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/new-stainless-steel-510-connection.t7313/

I have an issue. I want that new connector
Well, I have some leaking, not much, but it's there and I was thinking of replacing the firing pin and spring anyway as I was a bit stupid in the beginning with it, so decided to replace those and do it right from now on.
Also, I like the longer needle thingy where the tube connects and the wider feeding hole. Gonna have my atties drilled to accommodate that.
Yip, more than reason enough to send to the spa. I am so tempted, but really have no good reason to spend that money.I have an issue. I want that new connector

Thanks @Rob Fisher, quite understandable. I'm sure he also want's to protect his intellectual property. I wonder if one can fit a fat daddy vape 510 on the Reo? Shave the 510 raised 'platform' off entirely and retrofit. Better fit for 22mm atties too.
That is an awesome idea Jakes! I would do that because my best atties are 22mm.
Here is an update on the new connectors from the man himself.

"We ran into a problem with are new adjustable 510 connection . The adjustable part of this 510 is not working properly . I will be replacing the center post and the adjustable screw in all the mods . I should have used a reverse thread The only reason I didn’t I was hoping to avoid having people destroy there cartomizers and atomizers with a connection that has no give . I didn’t have issues with the prototypes I made. The parts I had made were not as tight of a tolerance as the prototypes . What is happening is the adjustable center post is threading down as people are threading there atomizers on to there mods . This is totally my fault I apologize to everyone that will be inconvenienced .
People will need to send there mods in to me and I will replace the parts needed to make it work properly . I am still waiting on a reply as to when I can get these parts . I will post in this thread and also on my site as soon as I have more info . I will pay the shipping to and from reosmods first class shipping that is . Your mods are still usable I wouldn’t send them in until I no when I can get the parts"

Yip will talk to Rob.
Well, I still have to send mine. Glad I didn't. Will wait a bit.
Said the Modmaster earlier today:

Guys, i am keen to send my Reo Blue in to get the new 510
Mine is slightly skew and sometimes it dribbles a bit of ejuice between the mod and the base of the atty.
If a "group send" and "group return" gets organised, then count me in

Hi Ho @Silver we have a parcel arriving with some new REO's that have to go straight back to Rob. I guess it will be this week because it cleared customs last week. So maybe ship it to me on Monday by courier and I'll send it with.
Sent from my REO filled with VM Menthol Ice with a drop of coconut!
