REO - The Basics

[CYB3R N1NJ4]

Would this work to minimise the sparking:
0.2mL Conductive Silver Paint Wire Paste Grease For Electronics PCB Repair
Description:
Color:silver
Capacity:0.2mL
Resistance Value:<6 ohm
Quantity:1pcs
Feature:
Conductive silver paint
High electricity conductive with low resistance value can up to 0.02 ohm
High adhesiveness and tough surface film when dry
Totally sealing cover,no oxidation and deterioration
Syringe package design easy to operation
Equipped with 5 syringe needle,more flexible applications selected
Ideal for electronics repair usage,such as remote contol,PC keyboard,monitor,switch
Instructions:
1.Apply the silver paste in where you want.
2.After the desired tracks get covered, Please allow one hour for drying.
3.Using a hair dryer,if you want it dry rapidly( usually 5 - 10 minutes).

No it won't - its only good for heatsink bonding unto cpu's etc. It dries out like paint, basically a mixture of epoxy, hardener and conductive oxidized silver particles. You need a "wet" film as provided by dielectric grease (i.e Noalox, Dioxit etc). PM @kimbo he is selling the right stuff dirt cheap - think its R20 for a small tub which will last years.

Thanks @johan

I know about the Deoxit Gold, which is specifically for gold plated contacts, but what is the other one (Dicol) for? For other metals?

Yip it's for heavier jobs and for other metals... on batteries and chargers...

mmmmm......seems there's a user on here who thinks my earlier post is dumb. Oh well, guess everyone is entitled to their opinion....hahaha

hAHAHAHA THE GUY WHO MARKED YOU DUMB IS DUMBER BECAUSE HE DID NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT HE HAD DONE IT.MY APPOLLOGIES

 

[zadiac]

Hahaha.....no sweat man

 

[LandyMan]

Thanks @zadiac hopefully I can still salvage my batteries.

I use a nail buffing thingie majiggie I stole from my wife. Four different levels of roughness to use, depending on how severe the problem is

Lol, I had to buy one of those thingies - HRH objected to her's being abused.

Question to all them reo gurus....
Is it dangerous if Piece of the insulator on my contact has torn and I continue to use my reo?? It seems to be firing now but I'm just scared I short it because the contact is not properly insulated? I have attached a pic.... I also have ordered another contact for vapour mountain along with some other goodies for future repairs

That part in the photo (close to the hole) is of no concern as it is not in contact with the aluminum body.

Thanks for that @johan , was really worried I might short it because the contact is touching the little silver screw.

But the part of the silicone insulation that makes contact with the screw that holds the Delrin cover is intact on your photo?

Yes that part of the insulation is still in tact, I have a new contact arriving tomorrow and will be replacing it just as a precaution

Hi folks, a Reonoob question. Hoe do you know if a Reo is sub ohm capable?

The contacts are made of gold plate beryllium copper. If its silver then its not subohm capable. Also your battery needs to be subohm capable as well

Thanks for the info. @Keyaam. Much appreciated

Hi guys,

My Reo (Thor) aint vaping good anymore.

I think it might be the battery's, the charger show they are fully charged but when I vape with them its like
they are almost dead. All the contacts are clean and shiny.

Do you think it is the battery's?

Hi folks, a Reonoob question. Hoe do you know if a Reo is sub ohm capable?

"sub ohm" is a pretty vague descriptor. I've been down to 0.6 on my old contacts with no probs. I think it just increases the risk of shorting the spring fuse and also melting the older button material. I mainly want the new contacts cause they're so much easier to maintain. Plus apparently better with reduced voltage drop etc.

So can this d100 one be used for the old contacts?

@Rob Fisher do you use it for batts and then also the Deoxit Gold for the contacts? Ie. these two conditioners mix?

 

[chamberlane]

Sorry @annemarievdh, totally hijacked your question there. SOunds weird that all batts would just die like that. I'd try isolate the issue by swapping things around. Or your charger is borked - do you have a multimeter to double check?

No worry's.

We do have a multi meter, but I don't know how tho use it. And Jaco aint here, and might only be home round the 18th of next month.
So I was kinda hopping it would just be something like replacing the battery's. But it wont help if it is like you say, it could be the charger.

 

[kimbo]

@annemarievdh post a picture of the meter, will tell you were to set it
