All Things Reo

Thanks guys, no internet here thanks to Telkom, and also still having problems with the Reo. Tried everything so far, and still no lasting joy.

Starting to get peed off now.
 
I mix in luke warm water: 1/2 bicarbonate of soda & 1/2 salt and snuff it through - feels like drowning, burning like hell but worth the pain.

Johan I do it with 1 table spoon of Kosher salt and snarf to a lt or 2 of water, no burning what so ever, fresh clean sinus ;) I hate that burny nose feeling\


I came here to see @Wayne new Reo that arrived today, and i see pictures of naked and stripped reo's laying in bits and people talking about leaking. Is this what happens inside the reo's thread? on the outside its sunshine and butterflys? :D

@Alex if you remove all juice and hold the unit, minus the battery under water and you squonk wont you see bubbles & find your leak?

Thanks for the suggestion Mark, I'll try it tomorrow, today has just been one of those crap days where nothing works. Any more of this and I'm gonna crack : P
 
haha "a bad vape day"! Stay strong sir! the day after is normal again :D
 
@Alex i had a similar problem . @Andre instructed me to tighten up the nipple thet the feeding tube connects to carefully. This improved things drastically for me

That sounds like the source of my problem thanks, gonna google it quick

Check out the video in the sub-ohm kit thread here. Shows the nipple that might be not properly tightened.

I finally found the source of my problem, it's the batteries. Or rather the oxidation build up on them. I was looking at a good solution and came across this http://store.caig.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1554/.f after checking this thread on ECF.

Highly recommend all reonauts have a look at that thread. ;) the ECF one that is.
 
hmm, not going near builders warehouse or I would check, but I'm sure if you ask they will have various de-oxidizer’s available :D

Really interesting that its your battery hehe I thought it would be the hose/fitting too ;)

oh well, hehe, I'm glad you have a solution! awesome! :D

I've always used some tape around the batteries on the reo, to help with removal. And the result is they always orient in the same place. So I guess that accelerates the carbon buildup. And actually helped in identifying the problem.

Very interesting. But how did the batteries cause the leaking? Or am I missing something?

Ah the leaking. I have yet to pinpoint that one. But my best guess so far is likely from over squonking. This juice is damn near invisible to me :p. But at least I know the juice was not responsible for the firing problem.

DeoxIT, yes, i have it, learned about it some years ago on candlepowerforums. Reduces voltage drop at connection/contact oints. Used by 'audiophiles' and on some high-tech electronic equipment.
Red for de-oxidising, cleaning, then Gold for a film of protection, to prevent oxidation. Oxidation that you cannot see without magnification.
Best, most economical, is the little tubes, put drops on earbuds.

Please explain. i had to use a screwdriver to lever out the battery in my HANA MODZ DNA30; i was thinking of making some sort of strap to pull it out with.

Thanks. Very nice. Good photo. The hammertone looks good there. :) With that spring, it's got to be a lot easier than on the HANA MODZ; it has steel tabs, like spring steel, the usual, on both ends. The battery went in easily, i didn't have to use any unusual force, but i ended up levering it out with a screwdriver. i was looking at the thin plastic that came on the hanger with underpants from makro, thinking i could cut a wide strip of it, but nothing short of a handle, something to pull with - like at least 3 fingers - is going to be enough. (And it is a flat top battery.):-(
 
You could also lay a ribbon of some kind across the battery bay before inserting your battery. Grab both ends when you pull it out :)
 
REO’s are just so easy to re-wick and fill especially when you have a Cyclone on top… I finally got around to filling and re-wicking Maria the Russian but it was a bit of an epic fail and I lost a whole tank of juice… yes I didn’t check the O-Ring was sitting right.

I also need to put 12mg in the Russian vs 6mg in the REO for the same vape…

It has to be said that the best system for vaping has to be a REO with a Cyclone with its pull off hat vs the Reomiser’s screw off hat.

Makes me think that maybe a bottom fed DNA30 device with a Cyclone would not be perfection?
 
Just had my first attempt at building a coil onto the REO.

Did 8 wraps on 28g. 1.5mm ID.
Came out to 1.4ohm. I didn't take into consideration that the legs are a lot longer than I normally make. Will give the coil a try and see from there.

Just need to check through the thread to get an idea of how long the cotton needs to be coming off the coil.

1,4Ω is awesome! Now make a nice cotton wick not too long and not too thck and vape that baby! :rock:
 
Sorry this is the fourth F#$@ time I'm trying to post a message and everytime only a part of the message appear! :banghead:
