    Frustrated with my Reo

    I actually prefer the airflow of the A7 over the Reomizer. I think that is just because I have used the A7 more often. I only had the Reomizer setup once, that was the first time I melted my hot spring (I think I had it too tight).

    Frustrated with my Reo

    I should probably invest in a cheap multimeter as well. All I have been using is a madvapes ohm meter, and while it has alerted me to some misbehaving coils, it sounds like I need to up my game a little. Good thing Harbor Freight is coming to my town soon. Then I will have to figure out how...

    Frustrated with my Reo

    First, I want to thank everyone for the help. I actually did try the carto condom thing mentioned here after the first time I did it, but it wasn't in there when I put it back on the Reo because I forgot it after I put the A7 back together. I will PM Rob so I can get a rebuild kit (or two)...

    Frustrated with my Reo

    So, to say I'm a bit frustrated with my Grand is an understatement. (It may be my fault, but bear with me) I had it for no more than a couple of days before I smoked the hot spring...the first time. Got three replacements from Rob, just in case ya know. Installed a new one, straightened out...

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    I have not tried a different juice, but I did do a little experiment last night. When I ordered my mesh they also sent 4 sheets of 200, so I have been using that in my A7 because it works great, and I have never heard of anyone using 200 in the AGA. The wicks I've made with the 500 for my A7...

    Attention REO noobs!

    The first time I tried a cigarette I was 10 years old. Nobody pressured me into it, I was just a curious child that watched many people smoking. Unfortunately for me, the "adult" that gave me that first cigarette did so without so much as a bat of the eyes. I didn't cough, or choke, nothing...

    **IKV Update**

    If they were I didn't see them because I had to order 801 and 510 fusions instead. I don't particularly like flanged cartos, and I didn't want my wife to have to mess with adapters, but we were down to three cartos so I guess we will make use of what I was able to get. Glad I was sitting at my...

    **IKV Update**

    Just wondering if there are going to be any 510 mega platinum punch in the near future.

    ahhh!!! never again!!! the pain!!

    because I had pushed the fire button whilst rotating my PV towards my face. It may not have been hot, but it felt like magma in my eyeball, so I assume when I fired it, it was hot when it gave a little snap, crackle, pop right into my eye.

    Question about mechanical mods

    I agree with all the above. I wrap my coils around .8 ohms, and my Chinese mechanical hit like a freight train. It is really pretty surprising that with a really low resistance coil a cheapo Chinese mod hits better than some of my VV/VW devices. (That cost four times as much)

    tank suggestions?

    My go to tanks are J-tanks from electronicstix. ElectronicStix.Com · Standard J-Tank (3.3ml) I have 4 of them, and my wife has two. I recommend them all the time.

    ahhh!!! never again!!! the pain!!

    Its even worse when its HOT e-juice. I had my drip tip off once, and hit the button...POP! hot e-juice in the eyeball. My wife thought I was dying. Looking back its funny to me now, but when it happened not so much.

    Bottom spring collapsed on Mini 2.0

    At least you had yours a week before you melted your spring. I had my Reo for less than 24 hours when it happened to me. I ordered 3 more from Rob, so I'll be set for a little while. I also have a chinese GG clone that I test everything on now because I would rather ruin that than my Reo.

    Is colored Bamboo safe?

    I have been using the natural version you mention, and I am here to tell you it is fantastic. Absolutely no foreign tastes added to my juice, just pure flavor. I would advise you to NOT use the kind that is dyed. You have no idea what is in the dye, and how it will affect you. You could try...

    Question(s) About Steeping...

    I try everything directly out of the mailbox without steeping. If I don't like it right away I put it in my closet where I have a little organizer specifically for my vaping supplies. I do sometimes take the caps and drippers off, let them sit for a couple of days, then put the cap back on and...

    Question about DIY e-liquid from healthcabin.net

    There are far better places to order DIY supplies here in the US. (Check the DIY section) To answer you questions though. 1. I have never had my DIY juice look cloudy, except for when I shake the bottle to mix the ingredients 2. It depends on the flavorings you are using. Most DIY...

    Tanks!!!

    I personally prefer J-tanks from ElectronicStix. I have 4 of them, my wife has two. I have been looking at the AMP tank, but its a little bit out of my budget.

    Joined the Reo family

    I have a couple of 18490s laying around collecting dust so I may have to get a kick for it just because, but even without a kick it rocks my socks off. I can finally see why so many people hold Reos in such high regards. I'm sure I'll be around to ask a bunch of questions like I'm a n00b...

    Joined the Reo family

    Got my first Reo today, and all I can say is WOW! Loving my Grand so far. Don't have any wick material yet so the Reomizer is waiting in my vape stash until it comes in. (The coil that came on it metered out at 2.4 ohms, a little high for my liking) Using a LR Cisco spec atty on there for...
