    Meet the Ronin Reos

    Happy day. Out of the blue, two new reo grands with the fancy new hoopleproof 510 connectors arrived with the mail. How could it be out of the blue, you say? Well, I ordered them and Rob dutifully shipped them to lil ol' me in the frozen wastelands of Canada, but as a joke the capricious gods...

    FDA FDA approved flavours

    I'm wondering - if the FDA deeming were to go ahead and part of the regulation were to restrict allowable flavouring a la cigarettes (you know... to save the kids), just what flavours exactly would be approved? Tobacco flavoured ejuice is ersatz and no more "natural" than Pluid or Red Bull...

    Reo for the win

    So a guy I work with has been a diehard KFL/nemesis vaper for the last year. He'd see me with my reo and make the occasional derisive comment. "Looks like dead man's switch for an IED." "That looks awkward." "Doesn't all that squeezing get old?" Last week he showed up with a Big Dripper on a...

    TRA oxidation cleaning?

    Okay, fellow reonauts, I throw this question out to those of you with more maintenance skillz than I.... I have a LP TRA Grand that I love - nothing feels better to vape. I have noticed, however, that black (I believe) oxidation has built up where my fingers hold the mod - a kind of "shroud of...

    Aspire BVC wick concern?

    So, RiP Trippers posted a video on the Aspire Nautilus mini & BVC coil. In it, he goes to some length describing why he's uncertain about the BVC wick, claiming it's comes apart easily into fine-ish pieces that are "gritty". The worry, as implied by him and expressed by comment posters, is...

    Anybody vaping the RM5?

    Just curious if anyone has some impressions of the RM5. I would imagine it's fairly airy a la the RM4 - good for those direct lung draws.

    Cotton pad question

    Okay, so I'm thinking that I'm liking what I'm hearing about using Koh Gen Do cotton for wicking. The problem is that I can't find any available that will ship to Canada. What I can find is this: The Makeup Facial Cotton - Shiseido | Sephora Does anyone have any experience with this product...

    +1 for the RM3

    So I lost a bet. Admittedly, it was with myself, but rules are rules so I thought I'd eat some crow and share. I recently celebrated my vapeversary with a new LP Grand and an RM4. I also picked up a dual coil RM3 and some sundry other things. All weekend long I've been having a vape off...

    New personal record

    Well, I sit here, enveloped in a cloud of vapor, realizing that I've set a new personal record for most incoming vape mail - 9 lots of it. 3 from the woody sale, 1 outstanding mini 2.1 from just before that (curse you, Canada Customs, for delaying what was meant to be a precious to see me...

    Shout out for DashVapes

    I was shopping for various supplies on dashvapes.com and spied a switch magnet upgrade for (what I thought was) my mech mod. I ordered it along with the other supplies and right away - and this is a Saturday evening - I got an email back (from Shai) asking as to whether or not I got the right...

    Battery for 490 woodvil

    Couple of woody noob battery questions.... Would 18500's fit? If it's got to be 490's, are button top or flat preferred? Does anyone know if these would suffice and/or what the amp rating is on them (I'm planning on building at 1 ohm in a RM2)? Efest IMR18490 Chemically Safe Li-ion 3.7V...

    IGO questions (for a Reo)

    I didn't see a sticky for this (nor any recent thread on the subject), but apologies if this has been asked and answered before. Are there any particular tricks to setting up an IGO atty on a Reo? Any do's and/or don't that stick out? My goal is maximum flavour - not a cloud chaser. I'm...

    I just had to... really I did

    Soooooo.... I'm gearing up for the woodvil sale on Saturday (okay, okay- just trying to weed out the competition) and I was thinking about how best to have a good outcome come the moment (I'm quite chuffed - it's my first reo 'event'). I landed on the thought that I should prep by getting all...

    Woodvil question...

    Okay, so as we all wait (im)patiently for the woodvil sale on the 28th (... at 7:00 pm EST, but who's counting?), I have a question for all you Reonauts either already in possession of one or planning to get one. What's the attraction for you? Don't get me wrong (text lacks tone, despite the...

    (sigh) The more things change...

    When I smoked, there was always some guy I'd see every day who'd bum smokes. You know, that guy - the one who smoked regularly but never had any cigarettes and asked you for one several times a day. Well, now that guy has switched to vaping and works with me. Nice guy, but his daily "um...

    Vaping = smoking???

    I'm curious. When smoking cessation numbers are thrown around, vaping is generally regarded as "about as effective" as other programs (e.g., patches). What that means is that about the same percentage of people become nonsmokers using vaping as other therapies. What that then implies is that...

    She's here (mini 2.1)

    My first Reo, Duran (a Grand), was grousing about all last week so I decided to get her a little sister, which arrived on Friday. So here she is... Laurium, a silver vein mini 2.1 (named in honor of Ancient Greece's most prestigious silver mine. and nicknamed "Lauri" for short). She's...

    REO ownership/use questions

    So, I've recently celebrated my REOmitzvah - my first little beauty: a nice black wrinkle grand. I'm wondering, however, whether all you reonauts prefer to switch out juices (which is harder with the reo than, say, swapping out toppers on other devices) or get more reos. The obvious answer...

    I believe (REO win)

    My new (and first) REO Grand arrived yesterday. I call it "Duran"... She's a stayed girl, I know - not too flashy, but with a build that turns heads. Now, as a backstory, I have issues with flavour. My palette is quite dull. The subtly of clearos are lost on me, and even dripping is hit or...

    REO Grand - today is the day

    I can't believe it. I'm not like this. I'm really not. I ordered a REO Grand last Friday and I've been notified that it arrives today. Now, even in Canada, that means I need to stalk... er, wait patiently for the mailperson to arrive with the new family member so I can sign for it. I sit...
