@Imthiaz Khan sounds like the ceramic deck, which has a metal part at the base, is not screwed down properly into the base of the atty. That will lead to leaking around the edge of the ceramic.

@Philip Dunkley , your kindness to offer a fix to AnneMarie's Reo is amazing!
Hope you get back on the Reo soon @annemarievdh - holding thumbs

Hi guys I have a small problem that I hope you can help me with . I just bought a reo and it is 2de hands . My odin atty do not want to crew in all the way . I tried both the odins I have but it is a no go .
Both odins work on my other to reo's without a problem . But on the new reo it does not even go in deep enough to fire !
Here is the kicker ... all my other attys screw into the new reo perfectly !
Am I missing something here ?

I have no idea. Think @Silver had a similar problem and, despite a lot of technically minded peeps helping, as far as I know the problem was not solved.
Thanks for pointing that out @Andre
Yes, @jtgrey, i had the same problem with my LP Reo, which I bought from Reosmods last year July approximately.
The Odin wouldnt screw in. About two turns then it got tight. @Alex got the special tap tool from @JakesSA and tried to make things better but he concluded that in my case my 510 was slightly skew. We tried quite a few things but in the end could not get it to work. It seems that Reosmods used a slightly different thread for my Reo and several around that time. Thats why it works on some and not on others.
I then tried the nuppin and it works perfectly. So i am happy for now. Obviously I am disappointed and was considering sending my Reo overseas for a new 510 connector. But the cost of the connector and the shipping to and from would probably end up costing me at least half the price of a new Reo.
My Nuppin is still sitting on my LP Reo and thanfully i like it so much that i am happy to keep it on. My LP RM2 also thanfully fits as well.
I dont know what to advise you. My only suggestion is not to force anything in case you cause damage such that no other atty even fits.

When you screw the Odin in does it stop noticeably short and becomes difficult to tighten? Or does it seem to go all the way and yet does not make contact?
If its the former a thread tap is the best way to "loosen" the threads, I've seen maybe 4 or 5 Reo's with that problem.
If its the latter you have a deeper than usual 510 connector, there are even more of these Reos floating around SA. The Odin has a very short 510 and its not adjustable since if you loosen the bottom screw the centre post comes loose.
It is possible to a add a spacer/washer under the screw to effectively lengthen the 510 it but the copper screws that comes with the Odin is already very short and adding a spacer/washer increases the likelihood of stripping the screw or snapping it off when tightening.
Best thing to do is to replace the screw with a slightly longer equivalent. I used to replace them with +- 2mm longer copper screws but nowadays I replace them with stainless screws which allows for proper tightening on the centre post.
The spacer/washer optimally needs to be about 0.3mm - 0.4mm thick as I recall...
Thanks alot guys for all your help . I ran a tap through it and it works perfectly fine now ! Will see how it goes but I think it is fine now.
The 2nd post is really tight. Can I use a long-nose plier to twist it? Is there a possibility that it could snap or break?
Not necessary, but it will be better if you remove both, then you can see for yourself how this atty works and is assembled - it should not snap as no locktight is used on the "tight" screw, just be gentle.
Thank you so much @johanWill try that now.
I've done mine a million times - tip: heat up the atty and then gently loosen the "tight" post.
Of course you do. We have slipped up. Please accept our most humble apologies. Here is your official Reonaut badge. Enjoy.
All good, just don't call me feckin "oom"!

Which battery is the better option for my Reo:
Sumsung 2500 mAh INR18650-25R or Efest IMR 2500 mAh 18650 35A

The continuous discharge rating of the Efests are 20A, whilst those of the Samsungs are believed to be about 22A. From that point of view, the Samsungs are better - especially if you play with lowish resistances. I use both, and really have no reason to recommend the one over the other. For some or other subjective reason, I just like the Smurfs better.Veterans
