All Things Reo

Hey guys.

Here's some pics of the magma on the reo grand.

This rba really exposed my noobiness. Lol.

I initially tried a dual coil build 28g, 2mm ID 11 wraps. Came to 0.83 ohms but I must have done something wrong as it took a few seconds of holding down the fire button to get them to start glowing.

So I scratched that... and stuck to what I know and like for the moment. Single coil 28g, 2mm ID 7 wraps. 1.1 ohms.


I was really unsure when it came to wicking the magma for the reo as the coil sits on top and the juice is fed into the well. So I sat wondering how the wick is always gonna be wet at the top.

My impressions so far seem positive tho. Flavour definitely seems better on the magma. That has really impressed me. I had the exact same build on the reo and tried both with the same juice.

In regard to squonking frequency I'll give my feedback over the next few days and let u guys know. If anyone has any advice on a better wicking suggestion or anything regarding this, please let me know. I'm feeling really out of my depth here. Lol


Anyway, here are some pics of the coil, wick and how it looks on the reo (horrible quality forgive me).

Dual coils do heat up slower. Trick is to make them exact twins so they heat up equally and simultaneously. I have never done a Magma so can not give specific advice. Maybe get the coils right on top of the air holes. Too slow heat up is sometimes caused by all the legs not making proper contact.
 
I found my next REO I want.

Please can someone tell me what it is and can we find it?
So much want!

Yes, @johan is correct. That is the discontinued VV Reo. I was never a fan, has a finicky wheel on the inside to set the voltage. Also not made for sub ohm and takes stacked batteries. And not low profile either. You can probably get them at fair prices in the ECF classifieds.
 
Need a quick pointer.. how do I change my button?? Got a brass one and can't seem to find a How To..

@Reonat - it pulls of . I usually try and push it up a bit by sticking my nail under the edges at the bottom of the button. Hope this helps :) I just did it now to try and find a way to explain it. lol

Yeah the button is just the little metal cap. turn the reo at an angle to look under the button. You'll see the little black tip goes into the button. Try pushing it upward from different angles maybe. or grab the button firmly and gently wiggle as you pull upward

I don't think it would be glued. yours must be sitting on tight!
 
@Reonat, lock the Reo button. Then pull off the button cover. It is not glued, just press fitted. Then, whilst still locked press on the new one. If it is a bit loose, just put some dental floss or a small piece of plastic over the top and sides of the button and press fit.
 
Done!! In the end I used a wooden spatula to lift it off.

Not glued, pop it off with the back of a teaspoon by wedging it between button cover and Reo top. Then when you place a new one put a piece of dental floss (if you haven't received a bit of twine with it) over the button and firmly press new button cover on. Cut excess twine/d.floss off with a knife. PS. put button in lock position.
 
Hope this is the right place to bring this up. I got 2 Reos in June, LP Grand Copper Vein & LP Grand Black Wrinkle with Silver Vein door.

My Copper Vein Reo has lost it's Copper color and has almost turned dark brown/black especially the areas where I tend to grip/hold the Reo. I presume my sweaty palms are responsible for this dis-coloration.

I have given the Reo numerous Sunlight bubble baths but no change in the color.

Have any other Copper Vein owners experienced the same and are there any advice on how to get the Copper color back?

I'll post some pics to try and illustrate.

The Copper Vein does that... I noted that a few Reonauts coat thiers with clear lacquer to protect the colour when they first get it.

This is a problem with all the "vein" finishes Jimbo. What people suggested on other forums were to spray it with a clear laquer the day you receive it.
 
Too bad then.

I suppose I'll have to change the Copper Vein to a Raw Tumbled or maybe look at doing some kind of wood finish modification like @ Cape vaping supplies did on his.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Ps - This might also give me an excuse to get a new Mini Copper Vein.
 
so no problems with the black wrinkle then? so.... i'm safe? :sweating: :blush:
