    1st Day Using Nextel XC-116 (1/32") Ceramic Rope

    So the nextel brings a wire through the middle? I'm kinda curious about this stuff, even though I'm loving my ekowool. On a side note, I wanna know what you think of the ekowool, nuts! Let us know when you try it. No wire though the middle, although I make my coil on the ekowool with a...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I have been :) I've been using the same coil/wick for 2 weeks now. No difference I can detect. So far so good.

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    About 8 wraps of 32 kanthal A1 around one strand of 2mm Ekowool, giving me 2.5 ohm resistance. Vaping it at 8.5 watts on my Kicked Grand. Not as impressive as Plaz's kick ... ribbon coil but effective.

    RBA wicking material: Ekowool

    Diggin the draw, diggin the look, diggin the flavor, diggin the vapor.... there's only so much I can dig down here before hitting water ;) But I have to say, since I've been using this new wicking material on my RM2 as well I'm having a very tough time finding justification for the immense price...

    Somewhat Disappointed.... ;-)

    Don't despair though, when your REO breaks... no that probably won't happen before you die... your REO can always get stolen, then you can go online and shop for another one!

    RBA wicking material: Ekowool

    I haven't found anything yet, Plaz. Then again I haven't searched all that deep or been able to take more than 15 min to really try to find something. If anyone finds anything, please do share. I never really worried too much about silica, since I'm not a chain vaper and always kept my wick...

    RBA wicking material: Ekowool

    I just received my order of Ekowool from Stormy's today and got to work on building a coil for my Chalice. I always liked silica as a wick, but after all the info on it's potentially hazardous long term effects I figured it was worth giving the supposedly safer and ecologically friendlier...

    Tobacco Absolute (the NET redheaded stepchild)

    I can say BWB honey flue and maple tobacco have a much milder (tobacco?) aroma than Casablanca. To my palate, Casablanca tastes and smells more punchy. Not necessarily in a bad way though; I vaped through the 10ml casa easily. Honey flue however has been my favorite juice since right before the...

    Tobacco Absolute (the NET redheaded stepchild)

    Awww, so that means I threw away a perfectly good bottle of M&P honey tobacco back in the day. The more you know.... Great thread.

    REOMIZER 2.0 Initial Review

    I believe the term those kids would use for the RM2 is "epic win" ;) And yes, indeed it is.

    Chalice clone

    It's true that the RM2 is the easiest to rebuild. But, for me, the only thing about it is the airier draw. I just got my chalice II on a trade.... Yeah it's gotta be the best. The draw to me is perfect, the rebuild is easy since the posts are spaced out more than the hornet and the era. The RM2...

    Cartos for tanks that dont use filling material?

    I think if you're looking for a rebuildable for a carto tank, stillnotsmoking hit it with the Killer 705. I've seen and read good things about them in carto tanks. PV enthusiasts will argue they're simple to set up, but if you're going from cartos to rebuildables in a tank I think you'll have...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    Glorious noob mistake: I got this needle and syringe for DIY from some vendor I'm currently drawing a blank on, and I guess they never heard of blunt tips cause this one was a legit hypodermic needle. While trying to wrap a super_X_coil I realized this could prove to be a problem and tried...

    If you could only vape one flavor, what would it be?

    Honey Flue from Backwoods Brew. Others come close, but if I HAD to stay on one, that's it.

    May 4th, 2013...the first Re(o)gional meet! Okies, Texans and a crazy Mountaineer!

    Sorry to bust in on your guys' REOnaut extravaganza, but I have a request for those attending: kaypers told me she's going, and I need someone to ask her to check her PMs if you see her pleeeease. :blush: We made a trade, so if you guys can just lock her outside until she responds I'd really...

    REOMIZER 2.0 Initial Review

    Amen amen I say to the installation juju. I've had "uglier" coils taste way better than "pretty" ones because I was careful to set it at the same height as the air hole, and took extra care that the coil faced the air hole directly (that last thing I think applies mostly with the hornet, since...

    The "RBA's for Dummies" Thread

    Has anyone experienced better flavor with thinner silica strands than the thicker ones? Like, the first successful coil I had was made with three strands of 1mm silica at 2ohms; great vapor and flavor. I just changed it out for another coil that also measured 2ohms, same wire (32 gauge), same...

    The "RBA's for Dummies" Thread

    Yes I noticed this too when I give it a healthy squonk (I don't know if I'd call it flooding since the vapor and flavor is amazing). And I do what justice said about keeping the air hole facing up when I fire it. I find that with a fresh squonk, any excess juice flows over the air hole if you...
