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

    Thank you, Jack! I've recently learned to do that with regular silica. It might be wishful thinking, but it seems to improve silica's atrocious fraying too.

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    They can touch, Trunker. I've tried making a dual coil by taking two wires and wrapping them neatly into a single microcoil. It worked. I didn't care much for it, just cause it made the coil waaay too long, but it's technically sound.

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

    I can't wait to try. Got a foot of nextel and 2 ft of ecowool coming in tomorrow. Yay!

    Let's talk about the Vmod! Calling all Vmodders and those interested in the Vmod!

    To feed VMod, you have to turn it upside down and give it a little squeeze. Or you can convert it for vertical feeding. The process is described in my blog.

    Easy bottom feed modification for the Phoenix v4 (ERA clone) RBA

    Well, if I had a boat that could run a charger, several gallons of juice and a few Reos, you wouldn't see me here very much :)

    RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

    Any undyed cotton will do. Cotton balls work very well, so does cheese cloth, cotton yarn, and bamboo thread. It does dry burn easy, but, luckily, you can't flood the reomizer. So you can keep drowning it every few puffs until you get the hang of it. When threading cotton through the coil...

    RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

    The burnt taste is because there's not enough juice on it. SS mesh needs to be almost dripping with juice to taste good. If you don't like cotton, silica is a good alternative. Ecowool and Nextel is better, I hear, though I've never tried yet. I did recently learn that a trick with silica is to...

    Which is your favorite essences to make liquids?

    Problem you might run into is that it's hard to judge just by manufacturer. LorAnn seems to make nice fruity flavors. I love their cheesecake and strawberry. They seem to require relatively high percentage mixes. 15% cheesecake + 5% strawberry, or 10% straight strawberry seems good. There are...

    Reo Simplicity?

    I love that Reo, but that huge spool of kanthal is just HOT

    Vapemail today!!! Reomizer 2.0

    Hmm, challenge accepted :) It would end up being a pretty short coil, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'll try tonight

    Commie driptip :)

    I know, I know, there's more appropriate forums for it, but I'm too giddy to follow the rules. So the cheapie ERA clone comes with a huge stainless driptip. It's almost the same size as the atomizer, and weighs about same. I had to make a lathe out of a dremel, and mess with it. Here's a result...

    reo 2,reo 2.1 or "the grand'

    That's actually not bad, if you add enough horseradish :) And, Russ, you know I love you man, when I can honestly admit to you being wrong!

    reo 2,reo 2.1 or "the grand'

    That's the thing, Russ. As an ex- non menthol smoker of 25 years, I could tell you that now, a Marlboro tastes horrible to me. As in, I can't finish more than 1/4 of it when I try to (I tried for purposes of mixing marlboro tasting juice for my wife). Give me my foo-foo strawberry cheesecake...

    Need some help, please?

    Since you already have a VMod, I would strongly recommend against the Boge Revolution. It works, but it's very cheap and flimsy. I would dig through classifieds for used Reos. Rebuild kit is not really necessary for them if you're careful. Based on your experience with VMod, I'm sure you won't...

    Bottom Feeder Options Available Current - 08292012

    Very pretty. Sadly, these are not bottom feeders. They just hold a spare bottle of juice to reload your tank

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    I've only tried hemp once, with terrible results. Tasted like wet dog to me. It's entirely possible that I did not boil it enough, or it was not pure hemp. I'm still planning to try once I remember to buy better hemp. I heard that it is more burn proof than cotton balls, which is my only beef...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    The wick wars are solely due to too much time on our hands :) Honestly, if RBAs were not available, I would be perfectly happy with shorty cartos on a Reo, with unflavored nic juice. That would be enough to keep me away from cigarettes. Tiny unnoticeable wick improvements are similar to the...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    I keep switching between cotton balls and bamboo thread. Bamboo I think has a slight edge over organic cotton, but requires tools to be threaded through the coil. Cotton ball can be replaced when out and about.

    Do you have a linky to ecowool? I saw it somewhere, can't find it now :( And apparently my google-fu sucks
