    I think he meant ISO - as in Isopropyl (sp?) - as in Rubbing Alcohol, yes. FWIW, I soak in boiling water, and when it cools off enough to handle, I run the atties in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Then, I let the atties air-dry over night. The ultrasonic cleaner pretty consistently knocks the...

    How old are you, and why did you start vaping?

    44. Started around 13 or 14 years old, up to PAD by the time I got to 17. I've had numerous quits over the years, like many of us here, and had pretty much given up on quitting as something that "wasn't meant to be" for me. I'll spare you all the details that led me here, but I still wanted to...

    Evening Karen! Another thing about the NPS (No Pushing System) that bugs me is the open hose sticking out of the side of the bottle. I am convinced that it would lead to leaking under the right circumstances. Not something I wanna stick in my pocket, anyway. I'm all in favour of inelegant hacks...

    Not really. For one, thirty bucks seems a bit much. True, by all indications, it does work, and would be reasonably simple to put together. But my biggest reservation is that the REOs work pretty perfectly as-is. Having the sense of needing to squonk helps me to avoid chain-vaping, too. Sorry...

    Poll: How many REO owners have ever ....

    Since I found my daily-vape, I don't really drip much at all any more. When I do, though, it's into the atty. My daily-driver is a Mini, and I don't quite see how to get a couple drops into the cup without (potentially) making a bit of a mess. I'd guess it's a little easier with the Grand, but...

    One year analog free! Time to dole out some gratitude!

    I guess I'm another latecomer. Oh well.. Congrats Tripp! :vapor:

    Things the HH-357 have made me realize.

    I've had the opposite experience with my REOs - atties are wonderful (even though I haven't quite got the 'hang' of 306s), but I don't really love cartos on 'em so much. Been using SmokeTech 510s, but with all the praise that these are getting, I simply had to see what all the fuss is about...

    Yep. I'm on my second one in 4 years. The first one got taken out by a lightning strike. That strike also took out my DSL modem-thingie. At the time, they were the two most important machines in the house (after all, what's more important than coffee and internet?), so it figures they both got...

    Avid vapors......357

    Haha... I just did the same thing. With everyone raving over a $22 atty, I figure there must be something special goin' on here.. :)

    Congrats and Welcome, Tol! You are now one of us. One of us.. One of us.. :lol:

    Your favorite Atty/carto for your reo

    I've been loving the SmokTech 1.7Ω atty on both my Mini and Grand. I did play with a DCC on my Mini for the last couple days, but it simply confirmed my general distaste for poly-filled cartos - atties FTW.. :)

    The thing to remember is that none of the batteries we use are safe in absolute terms. That said, the IMRs are a safer chemistry than Lithium-ion, and probably the safest of the bunch. Still, there's a statistically non-zero chance that you'd have a problem with one of 'em. The way I look at it...

    Probably gonna hold off on the VV REOs for a bit. I really want a metal one. I've seen some discussion that suggests that the Evov Kick can be made to work in a Grand, so I'll probably monkey around with that until Rob gets the metal VV REOs put together.

    Variable voltage or just 3.7 to 4.2 set pv?

    I've got a Darwin, as well as several Madvapes VV boxmods, and I was mildly surprised when my REOs mostly displaced the Darwin as my daily-driver. The Darwin still has a place in my toolset, but I actually find myself liking the REO more because of its generally hassle-free operation. With the...
