Reo Spring Collapse

[Jimbo]

yeah it looks ok, must be a faulty insulator inside the magma.

It's just funny that I vaped about 4ml of juice with the Magma and when I changed it to the other Reo it just went with the first press of the fire button. But I agree I think it must be something inside the Magma. (Not being able to get a reading on the Ohm meter for a newly coiled Magma confirms this to me)

You'll also need to check the insulator on the Reo.

I would strip it all down just to make sure everything is still ok.

The pin or insulator might have been damaged already but barely hanging on and working while on the one Reo. When unscrewing it and screwing on to the other Reo, it must have given way enough to cause the short. At least this proves the safety mechanism in the Reo works well

Do you have spares for such occasions? Or will you be getting in?

Thanks will do @Alex

Thanks for all the advice all.

 

[Oupa]

Springs? Of course we have... Did you not get from me after collapsing your springs @Nooby ?

 

[Alex]

Thanks will do @Alex

Thanks for all the advice all.

And not to worry, if you find yourself out of springs. A temporary solution can be found here..

Lol yes I did, but I was referring to the insulator..

 

[Oupa]

They were talking about the insulator inside the Magma

An upgrade/repair kit can sort out most issues on the Reo's working parts, although the above issue do not seem to be with the Reo.

@Oupa

Thanks to you we do have spares availible, I do have a spare spring from when I bought my Reos but will get another with my next Juice order from VM.

So grateful that the springs a sold separately, thought I would need to get a whole repair kit.

Might have been the case.

100% agree with you @Oupa , the Reo's spring does offer you that peace of mind that the device does offer protection unlike any other mech Mod.

 

[Oupa]

Yep, although any decent mech should have a collapsible spring and vent holes... otherwise I won't touch it

 

[Oupa]

Or at least some safety mechanism!

I have these rings on my purple Efest as well. I don't think it is anything to worry about. I did not notice either, but my guess it came standard like that. If anyone else has it, then we will know for sure... Could also be different batches of batteries...

Hi @Jimbo - I also have two of those 3100 mah 20A Efests - and they also have the rings on the negative terminal - like on your photo.
My rings don't appear as "indented" as your photo - but I assume that is just the light and the way the photo has been taken.

 

[Andre]

Just remember the Continuous Discharge Current on those 3100s are highly suspect. Efest has publicly said it is 10A, the 20A refers to the spiking rating.

Thanks Andre, I have however never gone below 0.7 Ohm so should not be a problem. I tend stick to between 0.9 & 1.3 Ohm

PS. Enjoy your trip

 

[Silver]

Thanks @Andre for the reminder...
Because of that, I use those batteries on my 1.2 ohm REO

They do last me quite a bit longer than the 35A Efests - so I find they are great for this application.

@Jimbo sorry to hear about all of this bro!

Hope you come right !
