    Glass Beads? Maybe new way to mix more thoroughly?

    Get an ultrasonic cleaner. It will cut your steep times dramatically. One hour = one week of steeping for other than tobacco recipes. You don't need one with a heater. Use hot tap water and the cavitation action will keep it hot. Search for the word ultrasonic and look for Part III of the...

    Steeping Times and an Ultrasonic Cleaner Part III

    I'm going to get back into DIY after about four years. I have a Branson UC that my wife used at her salon and spa to clean stuff including jewelry. I cleaned some attys in it yesterday. Left them in for about an hour total, rinsing them with a tube and 6ml syringe I rigged up between 10-15 min...

    Ejuice calculator (added quantity calculations)

    Yeah, most of the recipes give the percents of the flavorings. And Section 6, Make a New Recipe, asks for parts and I don't know how to do the math on that. Someone please explain how to convert this to work. Do I just put the percents given into the Parts fields to create a new recipe? Here's...

    RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

    Hiya guys! I will be getting a Reomizer in a couple days. I have a couple questions please. For now I will be using a multimeter to check the ohms. When is the earliest I can check for ohms? Can it be done as soon as wrapped while the tails are still on and unmounted from the atty? I want to...

    Multimeter features

    You need a pretty good one. One that reads .05 +2dgts (look at the specs). Otherwise it won't read to the tenths. Example batt voltage 4.18: A cheap one will read to the 1 but not the 8 and that is what you are looking for.

    Atomizer vs Cartomizer on the Reo

    The only problem, but a biggie, with Boges is that the batting burns. I've taken them apart and seen how they've been scorched. That can't be good so I went back to attys. Yeah, at first they tasted really good and produced clouds of vape. I tried the CE2s and they never did wick right and built...

    Congratz M X B N W on 2-years smoke-free!

    Congrats!! My two year mark was Feburary. I smoked for 41 years, from 13 to 54 years old. I'm 56 now. I too bought hundereds of dollars of vape stuff until I found the Reo and hit nervana. I have two minis. I loaned one to my son so he can quit analogs too. I'm not worried about having only one...

    What does your forum name mean?

    I've been a scuba diver since 1990. We had a scuba instructor in our dive club and since he would go diving with us he taught several of us the skills necessary to atain the divemaster level. If you had to pay a dive shop to get to that level it would cost over a grand. A divemaster can assist...

    Pila charger doesn't play well with IMR batteries?

    UPDATE - ANOTHER ONE I've found that my cheap-O multimeter is the REAL problem! It doesn't read accurately enough. Live and learn as they say. Most of us had to learn e-cigs the hard way until we got eddicated to the Reo, so this is along the same vein really, just about electronics. I work...

    Pila charger doesn't play well with IMR batteries?

    UPDATE First, sorry for the typos on the voltages I said I was getting in the first post. Searching around the web I found that the mfg charge range for a Pila charger is 4.15 to 4.25. If you are getting between those numbers then the charger is fine. After reading all the accolades about...

    Pila charger doesn't play well with IMR batteries?

    OMG! I stated the voltage incorrectly. It should have read 4..... for all the ones that read 3.... Sorry guyz! So the old chargers would only get them to 4.14 to 4.17or so. So I decided to get the Pila and it doesn't charge any better. So far it's never charged to 4.0 even. What is the most...

    Pila charger doesn't play well with IMR batteries?

    Three of the batts are NEW! I'm cycling those and three others that are only a couple of months old. It's not the batts! Sheez!

    Pila charger doesn't play well with IMR batteries?

    The "new" IMRs aren't out of the box new. They are a few weeks old and have been charged about 25 times each. I said new to not bring up the question of whether they were worn out. I looked for but didn't see a switch on the charger.

    Pila charger doesn't play well with IMR batteries?

    Guyz, I use AW IMR 14500s in my mini. I just got a new Pila IBC charger from RTD Vapor and it only charges to 3.11 or so. That's less than the 3.14 to 3.17 or above that I got out of my cheap Trustfire TR-001 and WF-139. I expected it to charge to the top limit of about 4.22 or so, at least to...

    Hi! Yeah, UR right down the road! We like to go to Hakata Japanese resturant there in JVille. Been going there about 25+ years. It's the best between Fla and here that I know of. Their house salad dressing and the other sauces set it apart. It's on Hwy 17. Turn beside the Checker's burger jont...

    Finally able to vape my new Reo!

    lizblue, The reason that the Ego and Infinity Pro can't heat the .357 atty is that it's a matter of amps the batts deliver - or can't deliver in this case. Simply stated, the atty is pulling more amps than the batts are rated to produce. There's info about this on this forum and other forums on...

    New user REO Grand review

    Next month will be two years smoke free for me. For about the first year I did like most of us and hunted for the best PV solution and after spending hundreds of dollars on this and that system, finally ran across the Reos. I've found them to be the complete answer in vaping. :)
