New to REO Grand

[Jet Knight]

Welcome Jet Knight! I am fairly new to Reo's as well and finally took the plunge with RM2. Love em!! And don't even need that magnifying glass I bought. Just reading glasses. Hey, if I can do it anybody can!
I also got my ohm meter today!Yipee!! If you put yourself on waiting list they email you and I lucked out and got one before they sold out again!
Again, welcome, there is a lot of fine people here to help you. Believe me, I asked, they helped
Debbie

Congrats on your ohm reader, you are one of the lucky ones. Hope one of my emails gets a response soon. Will check out some reading glasses tomorrow.

Expecting mine tomorrow, and kinda excited about it and see what all the fuss is all about. Got mine in a black wrinkled with silver vein? Along with a Reomizer V2, wick and 30gauge wire. Was kinda deciding if I should have gotten the VV Reo Grand, but lack of sufficient cash flow helped me decide easier, LOL. Anyway, hope the Reomizer comes set up and coiled already to start me up, or else just have to use one of my joyetech Atty or Cisco LR 306 atty. Hope it works with those atty's.

Jet Knight....it won't come set up, so you'll just have to conquer it. But the joyetech atties and Cisco LR 306s will work fine. You might just be very surprised at how easy the RM2 is to set up. Congratulations....that's a classy color combo.

That should be a beautiful color combo! The attys will work fine. Definitely follow the link thinkingaboutit posted!

Thanks, Yes, I got it with the Reomizer, but probably will try the LR atty first since I can't see very well and waiting to get some magnifying equipment before I make my first coil.

Hi welcome to REOville,

When i first started using my Reomizer2 i got some coils already made because of my eyesight and shakiness.It gave me confidence to do my own coils before they were even gone. I did use cotton for a wick instead of the wick that was included.

There are 5 coils already made in each package with the ohms you choose. Here is where i got them: Rebuildable Atomizer Coils - Avid Vaper

I didn't even have a ohm meter so i did the notify me at RTD and within a few days they emailed and then i got one. I love it

Anyway that's how i started out. Again welcome to our forum, we love meeting new people!

Welcome to Reoville! My old eyes and shaky hands made some magnification necessary so I got this: http://www.harborfreight.com/magnifier-head-strap-with-lights-38896.html. Looks dumb as hell but it works and stays in front of my eyes when I move.

Building coils on the RM2 is definitely worth the trouble.

Wow, never knew about premade coils. May get a pack just until I can get my magnification stuff and confidence in making coils. What Ohms do you recommend? My juices are primarily 50/50 mix and I love tons of vapor, not so much with the throat hit, but definitely love flavor.

Thanks for the tip, I ordered something else, more like an adjustable magnifying glass with light attachments but fixed to my desk. The price for the ones you suggested are nice though. I may have gotten them had I known about them before I placed an order for the ones I mentioned.

I got 2.0 ohm but i am not recommending it because it depends on whether you like a cool vape or a warm vape. The lower ohms are warmer so it is up to you but i wouldn't go over 2.5 ohms.

Will go for the 1.5ohms til I get my coil building abilities to standard, lol

Good luck with whatever you got. Anything that allows you to make a decent coil will be worth it! The RM2 really is easy to build on and very forgiving of "less than perfect" builds. You get the superior flavor of dripping and the ability to build it to your specific tastes so you really can't go wrong!

I'm thinking you may have chosen black/silver for the same reason I did, am I right? You'll love it, broke out my zmax for a minute today, thought, "well that was lame."
"Why do we" buy REOs "Bruce?"

 

[NicoHolic]

Eight tight wraps of 30 AWG around a 1/16" drill bit should get you about a 1.6Ω micro coil.

Which makes seven wraps perfect

Actually, I did ten wraps, but smaller diameter.

Lol, yes, I had my reasons for choosing that color scheme.

Welcome !
And congrats on your Grand!

 

[UKPaul]

Looking forward to seeing some pics JK.

I think my 2nd reo will be a BW/SV or BW/SM.

Just as an aside, you don't *have* to go with micro coils. Rob, our illustrious mod maker, made a video showing how to build a nice easy coil without the needle, magnifiers, etc. My eyesight isn't great either, but I can make those kind with just my reading glasses and a good light. They don't have to be micro or even pretty to vape exceptionally well.

She is finally here...could not wait...just loving it! Will try to build my first coil later....thanks all for your help!
