REO - The Basics

You Guys have to try The Hornet for a mouth to lung, its unbelievable!
Also, the Cyclone is a pretty good bet :)

Looks like a copy of the cyclone 2013 deck?

LOL , yeah i tried the Atomic for a few days wasn't for me , what would you say the next step be from the RM2 ?

Hi @Daniel

For me, the RM2 is still the best allround mouth to lung atty for the Reo

Been on them now since May last year. No need to change for mouth to lung

But if you want to do lung hits, then the battlefield is wide open. Am loving the Nuppin but I am a relative Lung hit noob
 
Sho , looking at the prices won't be buying one anytime soon , problem with these 'limited' runs it seems if you don't jump on it you will wait a long time for another round ? Oh well , next time ...

The nuppin and cyclone don't come cheap. The nuppin is worth every penny in my opinion.

If you can find an Odin, it should fetch for around 380 or so new. Vapeclub is also able to modify Derringers as well now. Mine will be with me tomorrow and I can report back on my experiences with it within a few days.

That Hornet looks much like the Divo by Vicious Ant. The Divo has a good reputation among Reonauts.
Did you have to mod the Hornet to bottom fed, @Philip Dunkley? Where did you get it from?

I have a Hornet inbound as we speak! Managed to nab it in the ECF classies... now I just need a Divo!
 
@Andre Came with my latest Reo! Was very lucky.
The thing was totally beat up and old and rusted, gave it some love and attention, and now she looks like this:

Does anyone know if I can purchase this insulator on its own. The top of the insulator is completely gone but the bottom part is still there. I still have the white gasket which Rob mentions is a fail safe incase the insulator goes. Luckily I saw this whilst stripping down the mod last night.

Those only come with a repair kit I think. You might be able to get one from Reosmods but it will probably cost the same as getting a repair kit here after shipping. Best to ask the reo guys if they have a spare or wait for VM to get their restock on repair kits.
 
A quick question.... Why people use noalox on theyr contact? I have grand and mini and both around 1 ohm. Been checking well later and no carbon build up or sparking . Am i missing why people use it?

andro some Reonauts go seriously sub-ohm in their coil builds (<0.4 Ohm) and with the higher current drawn, arching that causes carbon build up and pitting of contacts, can only be limited by using a dielectric grease like Noalox, Deoxit etc.

Can confirm, both my Reo's running with <0.3 Ohm coils.
 
I must say however that I have not found that problem running a 0.5 ohm build on my REO, at times I have come in at 0.4.
I did however experience this problem with exactly the same atty with the same build in on the smokeless owl. Ended up damaging the only 3 batteries I have!

It left hard black marks on my positive terminals. I am battling to find the correct grease locally. All electronic and electrical shops seem to want to supply is contact cleaners.
I watched a YouTube video last night where someone stated that Vaseline could be used as well to make an air tight and waterless (airless) film to promote contact.

I tried it this morning. I don't see the slight sparking when the firing pin hits now but will monitor.

Braso, and then your contact grease. Worked for me all this time. A little 1200 grain sand paper if the arcing is too much.
 
Go lower grain sand paper if it's really bad. Then the 1200 to smooth it out, then the grease. You won't have to waste your batteries.
 
Just do not sand your contacts if they are the gold plated ones. You will damage the gold plating.
Think you are both referring to the batteries, but just to make sure.

Lol....sorry....yes. I'm referring to the batteries. Should've specified.
