    Explosion at Vape Blast

    I have only read about 1 (this one) involving a mechanical mod specifically. The others I've read about involved Egos exploding & I do believe in every case it involved the use of an incorrect charger with the device (I don't recall the detail on the fatality incident so I will have to go back...

    Explosion at Vape Blast

    No! The community is NOT to blame for this being a story. This is a story because it's the first time the community has heard & seen some evidence of the possible dangers with using mechanicals as well as the dangers of using these batteries. What type of build he used is obviously...

    What's so great about Provaris?

    There will be woodvilles coming out in the future (not sure the date) that will be full mechanical (no wiring for the fire button). Rob's working on them right now. Keep checking on the reosmods forum for updates on when they'll be done.

    Explosion at Vape Blast

    I really don't have any words for that video other than idiotic. Even though I don't sub ohm, sub ohming does make sense to me & I understand why some like that kind of vape. But this was ridiculous imo. I was laughing a little though watching him build & load that thing up with eliquid. I...

    gotta vent; I know you'll understand

    Ryedan, you addressed the actual question I presented. But I agree with what Six said & appreciate his input. The thing for me is that, while I do completely understand that the REO is a more advanced device for more experienced vapers, I also think it's not as complex as rebuilding coils on...

    Hitting Rock Bottom?

    I think the term "rock bottom" is somewhat subjective. My rock bottom is not someone else's & theirs isn't mine. If/when we start to see the affects of FDA's rulings on vaping we might have more feedback about this. The thing is, when people begin to be faced with choices that confront...

    gotta vent; I know you'll understand

    Your perspective on squonking is interesting as I have carpal tunnel in my wrists & don't find squonking a problem. I do think it might be harder for arthritic users though. But my thinking is that messing with those little evod/protank heads is much harder with these hand problems than...

    E-cig = hookah? Huh?

    Cigalikes are nothing like a hookah. But they are pretty much exactly like a hookah pen (think e-hookah) so I can understand people thinking that.

    gotta vent; I know you'll understand

    Agreed. That's one reason I skip most threads asking for help with Protanks. I've used them a few times & hated them very single time (which is weird because I really like Evods).

    gotta vent; I know you'll understand

    I don't look down on anyone & that wasn't the thought process behind my OP. I NEVER suggest mechs (even the REO) to new vapers as I know it's just not what they need. But it's still hard for me to think of suggestions for someone with, say, an Ego Twist/protank combo to fix their tank problem...

    gotta vent; I know you'll understand

    So I like trying to help people out with their set ups. I'm not super knowledgeable or anything but I know what I know & want to help anyone just starting out move in the right direction for them. HST I find it incredibly frustrating trying to help these days. Ever since I got my REOs &...

    Question about rebuildables

    I use cotton wick so it's just way easier to rewick than rebuild the whole thing. it's not HARD to rebuild. It's just not necessary when my coil is still good. My coils usually last me 1-2 months before I need to rebuild. I rewick every 3-7 days depending on the liquid I'm using.

    Rip trippers?

    lol He annoys me too. But he's knowledgeable so I give him that. He's not on my preferred reviewers list though.

    What's so great about Provaris?

    OP, it depends on what type toppers you like whether it will be "worth it". If you like tanks, clearos, RTAs, carto tanks it will be a nice device for you. It's probably the best built regulated mod out there. On the other hand, if you find yourself preferring a dripper to other toppers you'd...

    Overwhelmed and don't know which is the best

    I'd suggest grabbing a kayfun mini clone to try out. Mini Kayfun by Tobeco - Vapor Tek USA. You can run this RTA on an ego style battery, although I'd suggest a vv battery over a standard ego. Keep your builds above 1.3 ohms. This will give you an idea if you will like dealing with RTAs...

    What did you vape before a Reo?

    I used a Kayfun mini/mech or an Ego Twist/Evod before my REOs. I sold the Kayfun/mech & gave away the Twist/evod so I only use REOs now pretty much. I do still have a mech/dripper combo for dripping when I don't want a whole bottle of a particular liquid.

    How often do you re-wick your RDA

    I rewick my RM2s weekly. My other dripper gets rewicked when it needs it or when I change flavors, so it could go up to 3 weeks before I rewick but if I use it daily I will do it once a week.

    Frustrated With Burnt Taste & Coils

    Yea I always used pretty clear eliquids with my evod tank for this reason. They just seem to last longer. I reserve tobaccos & sweet liquids for my drippers since those are easier to rewick/dryburn. But the cleaning methods you're using are what I did when I was using those thanks so you're...

    Reading comments on the proposed FDA Regs... You people worry me

    I always liked the English language for these things. To me it's quite lovely that our language is a big mash up of a variety of languages & English. It does make it more complex but I'm weird & like thinking about what words mean & their language roots.

    Is a REO or PROVARI really THAT good? 3rd 'smoke FREE' anniversary coming up!

    I never tried a Provari either. But I was never very interested in vv & the more I used different RTAs the more I disliked them and the more I liked my drippers. The REO just seemed the most obvious choice.
