All Things Reo

As it was for the last 2 months I'm vapeing in stealth mode again this weekend. Wishing I could have my weekends back again. Thor is feeling niclected. And I'm constantly in a bad mood when it's weekend.

Ah, too many weekend visits to the "laws" - hang in there.
 
Oh no, give them the most horrible food imaginable!

Haha good plan but wont work. If Jaco doesn't buy food, his mom cooks for us and she knows what she's doing.

Ag I guess I'll just have to learn some patience.

Been dying to do a patina on the reo door.

Finally decided to Take the plunge today and got cracking at it.

This was my first attempt just to see how the effects change with different methods.

I've since stripped it down to restart the process and see what the outcome will be with a different process.

Just thought I'd share the first attempt.

Aha, great. Looking forward to your next ones.
 
@MurderDoll , did you patina the button cover too?
What process did you use for this one?

Yeah.

I did hey. Figured I would try and maintain the theme throughout. Once I have gotten it down, I will be doing the Reomiser as well.

I just used Amonia in the tub, salt on the door for that attempt.

For the second one I did Amonia in the tub, then in a spray bottle I have a solution of salt, amonia and bicarb soda.
 
Version 2.0 completed.

I'm quite happy with how it came out.

I've clear coated it as well to protect the patina, will be leaving it as is for now.

Will try a different method next time to get a different colour effect going.

Stunning, love the colour and texture.
 
hey Guys

Jessica is giving me some hassles :(

she started leaking again yesterday. it seems to be happening when the juice drains back into the bottle. something is not leka with the seals.
i took her apart yesterday.
took out the pin, removed the white thin gasket/seal
removed the thicker see-through silicone gasket
checked everything and seems to be fine.

i then put the thicker silicone gasket back, then slid the thin white gasket onto the pin and pushed the pin into the placed thick gasket.
screw the bottom part (where the tube slips on) of the pin to the top, with the fire plate in between. i made sure its snug, not too tight as that when it broke last time.

but some how after an hour or two there are trace amount of juice on the inside top of the door and around the black derlin insert.

i was thinking maybe its the permanent silicone seal that is giving this trouble, as the top is dry and i use an o ring under the atty.

any advise on what i can do, im not keen on sending it to the states to get checked out.

I had the same issue about 3 months ago due to frequently dismantling everything. On my unit the permanent sealant (clear silicone) inside, underneath the 510 connector were coming apart in small pieces, suspect its due to a lot of powerful ultra sonic cleaning. I removed all of the silicon sealant in that cavity. Took a piece of Teflon tubing (O.D 4mm), cut to size lengthwise and force fit into that cavity. The Teflon tube I.D was small enough for the center pin to fit snugly. To date no leaking and still dismantle everything frequently for an ultrasonic bath. I am sure a piece of silicone- or HDPE tube will work just as well. All said, I am not sure this is the best way to solve it, and Rob would have a valid reason for using silicone sealant in that cavity, but it worked for me.
