    "New" REOnaut checking in..

    A couple weeks ago, I scored a Mini from the classies. I wont bore you with the epic journey that led me there; Long story short, the REO Mini unseated my Darwin (of all things) as my daily-driver. For the past couple weeks, it's been pretty much the only PV in my collection to get any serious...

    Let the Mailman stalking commence!

    Stalking the mailman for my new REO Grand and some batteries for it. USPS was off yesterday, so I got to relax. But today, IT'S ON!! :)

    What does your forum name mean?

    Back in the day, I followed Achewood, an online comic. For whatever reason, this strip (from eight years ago - I feel old - http://achewood.com/comic.php?date=01142004) tickled me and got stuck in my head: "All honking and dragging a bunch of rusty bikes" :lol: - instead of as a...

    510 vs 510-T

    Actually, I think the 510-T batteries are a little more robust than the "normal" ones. I had no trouble running LR atties on my -T batts, but fried the mosfet in 6 or so regular 510 batts. +1 on the CE2 recommend - they're way better than the 510-T tanks.

    Worst E-cig videos EVER - Have one to share?

    Actually, it's one of the best ones I've seen so far! I love how he just keeps hitting it. I'm not at all convinced that he got the primer out of the atty, though - I've had a similar reaction with new ones. But the comedy value is wonderful. Thanks!! :D

    My Reo Grand is on the way, now for the obligatory atty questions

    I've been using one of the Smoktek 510 1.7Ω atties on my Mini for just over 2 weeks now, and it's still going strong. Very nice vapour volume and the best flavour I've ever gotten from my juice. Love these atties. For the record, this is with Dekang RY4 mixed at 90/10 PG/VG (my daily-vape)...

    Rob-isms

    I accidentally borrowed/paraphrased one of these the other day in an IRL conversation - "Well, if that happens, I'll have to toss myself into the dirt.." I didn't even think about where it'd come from. This place has a way of getting into my head, I guess. :) Happy New Year's everyone!!

    This is all a PITA!

    Chiming in with another REO recommendation.. Similarly, I've played with cartos, eGO-T, CE2s (I actually kinda like them) and so on, but the simple vaping experience was escaping me. I figured it was just part of the "price" to be paid. After all, I've quit smoking with far less trouble than...

    My new 5V 510 mod box, will it really impress me?

    Huh. I can see how that would work.. Never occurred to me. I stand corrected. :)

    Need a custom "since my last analog" signature, with more complex formula

    IMO, tracking "cheats" is beside the point. The goal is to quit smoking (analogs), and as such, it's not so important how many you do smoke as how many you don't smoke. So, yeah - have one or two (or four or five) a day - it doesn't really matter. Tracking expenditures to the extent of what a...

    My new 5V 510 mod box, will it really impress me?

    Actually, you kinda do need a syringe for the CE2s. The condom method won't really work with these, 'cos they only have the silica wicking to get the juice to the coil; there's no poly-fill material in them to soak up juice, and the holes to put the juice in are very small. I've never been a fan...

    My new 5V 510 mod box, will it really impress me?

    I like the Bauway CE2s. They're clear, so I can see what my juice level is. The coil's on top, and I've found it best to invert it every so often to get juice up there, especially once it's half-empty or so. Also, remember to order a syringe while you're at it. Have fun! And a merry Christmas!

    My new 5V 510 mod box, will it really impress me?

    The atties will be fine, but the DCCs will trip the overcurrent protection in the regulator. It will stop working until you power-cycle it, too. Absolutely agree with 3Ω-ish cartos suggestions. I like CE2s on my copy of that box.

    VV Box Mod

    FWIW, getting a voltmeter crammed into a 3xAA box using the MV VV board is possible. It's a very tight fit, but with a little cutting and creative placement of the the board, it is do-able: I'd love to build one of these with the switching regulator, but I've some concern that I'd have to...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    Ahh... Vapemate! Google did its usual good job and flipped me over to Super-T, so the mystery is solved! Thanks! Understood - it's not a bottom-feeder, but it seems "close enough". Maybe my Darwin will get to reclaim some face-time with me from the REO.. :)

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    I recently got a REO mini, and am totally loving the bottom-feeder setup. That's what this looks like to me, but I don't know.. Links please.. :) (kinda feel stoopid for not knowing what that thing is)

    Any shops in the Raleigh, North Carolina area?

    Sweet! I sense a road-trip in my future! :) Thanks BT!

    Anyone here own the Ego Variable Voltage (900 mah) ?

    Thanks Morandir! I didn't have a way to read the load on the VVeGO when I had it, but that explains a lot. My 3.7 boxmod always seemed more consistently hot than the VVeGo; now I know why. The modbox does a true 4.2 when the batt is fresh off the charger.
