    good paint for decorating REOs

    Hmm...I wonder if it comes in olive drab... Or silver...my enamel modeling paint is wearing off my steampunk button.

    Learned something new today

    Not so much with the Reo. Any carto-tanks you may have should be watched closely...and clearomizers. I only had one tank leak (and I fly a lot) but it made a nice mess. The Reo handles it well but you may not want to top it off just before getting on the plane. Maybe halfway. Juice in your...

    Distracted...

    Not at first...but then eventually you'll get to wondering what everybody else is up to. The new folks still need advice and there's usually a good political discussion going on in the general forum. And spreading the gospel of micro-coils is always fun. Then you find yourself back here, prop...

    A Brief History of time.....long post be warned

    Nice. This needs to be in the Newbie forum...

    Wire gauge

    I suspect it's a micro hotleg and they're hard to spot because they get lost in the glow of the rest of the coil.. Fire the coil with a wet wick and keep firing until you see a glow. The area that turns red first is your hotleg. I normally see them right where one of the legs meets the coil...

    Wire gauge

    Ditto...that's my optimum setup too. Your tidbit about the post screws just came in handy. I built new coils for all my Reos yesterday and this morning ol' Roxy was a bit anemic. I cleaned the firing pin and the battery terminals and added a smidgeon of Noalox for good measure but to no...

    Have you found your" forever" set up?

    Yup. Started out with Mistics...then V2...graduated to a Vamo...then Provari...bought some budget mechanicals...then a Zenesis. Toppers include many Phiniac tanks as well as various budget drippers and a couple each of the RSST and AGA-T2. Then I found the Reo Grand and RM2 RDA. Pocket...

    Unique wicking alternatives...

    I'm using a sippy cup...hmmm...maybe that's the problem.

    Unique wicking alternatives...

    Blast...my beard is curly too. I wonder if that's what gives it its' unique wicking properties? Okay then...anyone know how to keep my beard from wicking my coffee? It's getting really, really annoying.

    Unique wicking alternatives...

    So...as I'm sipping my coffee this morning I've noticed it has a tendancy to leap from the cup and flow straight down my beard to my chin. Has anyone tried human hair for wicking?

    Bigger airhole on RM2?

    I had a spare cap that I drilled out to 1/16 and at first I thought it was too airy but right now I really like it. How you place your coil can have a big effect also. That said, the standard size still suits me just fine.

    new reo grand arrived today

    Doesn't need to be CVS just needs to be sterile. Also, try making a wick with less cotton...I've noticed when I use too much cotton I get an off taste. And when I say less cotton I mean...a smidgeon...an infitesimal amount...just a little itty-bitty tiny bit...er...not very much.

    A BIG thank you to BIG HITTER

    Dude...yer gonna love it here. I highly recommend attending any vape meet you can. I travel for work too and I always try to schedule my trips around any local vape meets in the area. Doesn't need to be a big one...I've had more fun at the smaller ones.

    new reo grand arrived today

    Yup...first micro I built for my Reo was a 1.5 ohm and I was really surprised at how well it vaped. I try to stick around 1.2 now but even the 1.8 I built was awesome. I think Supes likes his around 2.0 ohm and he blows some really nice clouds.

    How to set up your RM2 so no juice in catchcup

    Voltage drop shmoltage drop...:laugh: What Rob said...I've had better luck with the smaller o-rings. However, I did just try this out on Sgt. Stryker and it worked great. I'll try it out on my other two when I get home. I was going to rebuild coils tonight anyway.

    Wire wrapping coils

    I used to have three or four of those when I worked in the CO on Camp Pendleton and had wondered the same thing myself. My calloused fingers and drill bits have had pretty good success so far but that durn Rene 41 can be a pickle. I betcha one of my old wire wrappers would tame that beast in a...
