Reo Grand Arrival, First Ever Build on Anything. How is it? (pics inside)

[Funk Dracula]

Great video, thanks! Where can I get one of those multimeters?

They are usually in stock here:
510 Ohm Meter Model 2 - Kidney Puncher

I vape a twisted 28g .6Ω micro coil all day everyday. When you go below .8 you just need to maintain your contacts more often. I have to file and noalox mine about once every week or so.



Below .6Ω your getting into button melting territory, but only if you do not diligently maintain your firing pin to prevent heat/arcing.

Below .4Ω you've crossed the threshold that will collapse your spring.

Ok, awesome. Great to know! If the spring does collapse, can you purchase them at general stores (home depot, lowes), or only through Reo?

Also, how often do you have to put that gooey stuff on the battery connector?

Congratulations. Great first build. You will learn more each time.

The spring in the REO's is special because it will collapse in a short. Also Robert mounts it to connect to the REO. So, you need to pick one up at reosmods.

The Noalox can be put on at any time. If you get intermittent firing running lower ohm coils you need to file and Noalox.

Using 1.1-1.2 ohm coils I am not using it much at all. I apply after cleaning about every 2 weeks.

Congratulations and welcome! I have little to add to what's been said, except the part about the tape. I have a piece of cloth ribbon that goes around the battery, leaving two (@ 3/4 of an inch each) "tails" in the front. They make the battery MUCH easier to remove and eliminate any rattling in the door at the same time.

Hugga, your on the right track . Looked great for a first build.

Yes to much (too thick and too long) cotton but you'll get the hang of how much.

That video is good - use it to mount and wick your coil but here's an easier way to wrap a coil

Great video, thanks. I am learning a lot, haha.

Congrats Hugga99

Thanks! Reo is awesome, couldn't ask for more. I really didn't know the juice I had tasted so good, haha. Using it is much easier than I anticipated, and was up and running in 10 min. Can't wait for my second!!!

Congrats, and thanks for the pics! I see you are already thinking about your 2nd. Everyone pretty much already said everything I would have as to your build

When you have your 2nd you can switch around the doors and play dress up with them
