    REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

    6mm or 6.5mm diameter x 1mm thick are perfect for Grands, to put on flat top batteries.

    Origen Little 16 BF Atty

    I love the O-16. I have 3 of them in use regularly. I like a restricted DL draw, and the airflow on the O-16 suits me perfectly. I would get another 1 or 2, but I haven't seen the authentics available anywhere. Vapinart hasn't had them in stock in ages.

    REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

    It never made sense to me to change out batteries before they drop off to below 3.7v. I taylor my builds, using Heat Flux numbers, to be optimal between about 4.0v and 3.7v. The reason for this is because of the way battery voltage drops off during use. If you have ever seen pictures of the...

    REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

    I fill my bottle and change batteries at the same time. After vaping about 3/4 bottle, my battery will be around 3.6 to 3.65. I've gone as low as 3.5 on a battery and an empty bottle.

    Understandable. The ability to interchange doors is a great feature, I'm generally the same. Although I do like my black wrinkle sl door on my hammertone P67, and vice versa.

    What about the smell?

    A little soap and water once in a while works.

    My first Grand was also a black ano. I like finishes that make REOs look like a tool, rather than a toy. No offense to those who go for the bright color combos. It's just not for me. I like the hammertones, black ano, black wrinkle, and tra.

    The New Reo P67's Thread

    I was the same way about the whole Manta debacle. It left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). It was hit or miss, what base you got. There were 2 base types. One was flat; the other had a ledge. On some, the machining was bad; on others, not too bad. None were what I would consider good...

    The New Reo P67's Thread

    I have 4 Manta 2s. They were my favorite atty for a while. I haven't used them in a long time. Lately, I've been pretty stuck on Stumpys and O-16s.

    What are you vaping on your reo today?

    On P67s and Woodvils, I use either Hadalys or Stumpys. On my Grands, I use O-16s or Nuppins.

    REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

    Agreed. That's why I rarely do it. I stick with AWs in Grands. In the rare event that I do, I use magnets that are the correct diameter, so that they can't slide. In general though, I don't think it's a good practice. I understand why Rob discouraged the practice. The Grand was designed to be...

    REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

    I have used magnets, but not the REO metal door magnets. They are too small, and can slide. I have some 6mm diameter magnets, which were from some other tube mod switch. I don't even remember what mod they came from. Possibly a Poldiac. Anyway, they fit perfectly in the slot in the delrin piece...

    CHANTIX vs Vaping

    I had quit for a couple years. I started again on the morning of 9/11/2001. We were gathered around the radio that someone had in the shop where I was working. I was so shocked at the unfolding of events, I asked one of my work mates for a cigarette. Then another. Then another. I was smoking...

    Because it comes in blue

    Yep. Stabwood or burls are bank account killers.

    CHANTIX vs Vaping

    I was on Chantix several years back, before there was vaping. I quit smoking for a couple years with it. Personally, I had no significant side affects with it, other than being maybe just a tad more irritable. Mrs. Rule, on the other hand, also tried it, and she was berserk with it, and had to...

    Some folks, including myself, feel that it's a smoother vape. The reason is, as you apply power to the coil, and as the coil heats up, the resistance of the coil increases significantly. For this reason, most people build at a somewhat lower 'cold' resistance, than they would build with Kanthal...

    Flavorless Vg eliquid... what's your take?

    I make up my 8mg/ml 80VG/20PG unflavored base, usually 250ml at a time. Then make my flavored juices with it by adding 5%-10% flavor, in 30ml bottles.

    Flavorless Vg eliquid... what's your take?

    I'm the same. I DIY with about 1/2 the flavor percentage, or less, than many others use in their recipes. I rarely go beyond 10% total. IMO, just about all commercial juices have too much flavoring.

    It's a great set up. I also use 316L SS. But I've been using parallel 28g coils.
