Thx @Alex

Just glad it's not only me that has the Sweaty Paw syndrome on the Copper Vein Reo.

I had the same on a Silver Vein. Became just black eventually.

@Andre

Did you then convert your Silver Vein to the Raw Tumbled you have currently?

If so can I bother you with details on how to go about doing it?

The black did not bother me, but eventually sold it. To @Cape vaping supplies, if memory serves me right. He did convert some to Raw Tumbled using a paint stripper, the brand name of which I cannot remember. @PeterHarris also stripped one to raw using the paint stripper below. Think @TylerD might also have done one.

BIG BAD WORDS from my lips this morning. The tip of the gold contact snapped again!!! I just don't understand why? Has anybody ever read of something similar happening?

No, no. Never heard of that....not here, not on ECF. There must be something wrong. Wonder if there is not a problem on your delrin cover that it catches on it when moving. How is your spring - it has not maybe half collapsed, causing the contact to go down too low and catch on the return? Show some pictures.

Thanks @Andre Will post later as am running around a bit.

Oh no

So sorry to hear @Reonat

That really sucks

I'm sure the reo veterans will do their best to help out!

 

[Reonat]

Best I can do for now in terms of pics. Will unscrew everything when I am back home later.

I do not see anything wrong there. The break is right on the edge of the bottom of the button. You cannot be mashing the button as you are using a button cover, unless the button cover is not fully inserted into the top of the button - in which case the button could be going too low putting excessive stress on the firing pin?
Never put force on the button. Just press until you hear it firing.

What a day... my father in law passed away in the early hours this morning so haven't had much chance or inclination to strip my Reo down yet. I will do so in the morning and see what I can see regarding the button and cover. I need to order a new repair kit from VM as stupidly didn't do so when the last one broke so was wondering if there is a way to make a temporary fix?

My condolences @Reonat, the closest fix I could find with pics was this.

I'm not sure how handy you are but, it does work if you can find something similar. Best of luck

Sorry to hear about your loss regarding your father in law @Reonat. Strength to you and your family.

Regarding the Reo, i suggest you get in touch with the modmaster himself, Rob at Reosmods and send him your photos. Try take a close up. Am sure he will be able to suggest the correct route to follow.

Thanks @Alex.. was thinking more along the lines of superglue or sticky tape as am not that handy. If however I can get a strip of BeCu from a torch I can at least try to attach an extension from within the sleeve that goes around the firing pin.

Oh my, being a really worst day for you. Keep strong, thinking of you and yours.
Not much of a tinkerer, so cannot think of a good temporary fix. Maybe try to attach the previous broken one on top of the one in there at the moment, but sticking out further and then bend the end of the old one to act as the firing part. Should probably file the tip of the old one to a rounded V. It does not need to curl like the new ones does. The previous firing pins were just a sort of a V shape.
EDIT: Put the broken end of the old one nearest to the tube. The unbroken other end should be easier to bend and file to some sort of a rounded V.

Thanks Andre. I stupidly threw the old broken one away but read that some torch manufacturers use the same material for battery contact so will now begin a "torch audit". If mine have a strip I will make an extension of sorts as you suggested.

I meant that Rob from Reosmods might well be able to figure out why this is happening and suggest what can be done for it not to happen again over the longer term.

Hope you manage to make a short term fix for now

Just had an idea, try to attach/jam in a short piece of insulated wire from the broken leaf spring and glue it to the bottom of the fire button. Thus allowing contact with the positive battery terminal when you push down.
