    Micro Coil for the RBA on your REO

    I usually tell that to people too, fully knowing that it's a ploy. However, when I was buying my first Reo, it was a great comfort to know that if I don't like it, I'm not really out much money. Come to think of it, I did sell one of my Reos, but that was just to buy a different one from Rob :)

    For those of you that own a Grand and Mini

    I currently own a Grand and a Mini 2.1. The Mini 2.1 replaced the Original Mini, which was noticeably smaller. I do carry both with me for any long periods of time (to work), but mainly due to me liking different flavors. If I had to choose just one, it would absolutely be my Grand. Sure...

    Genesis Reomizer 2

    Sorry, but the best pictures I had of it are already on this thread, post 22 :) I found that to get it working, you want a not overly thick wick, no more than 3mm. I ended up clipping a chunk off my AGA wick for these puposes. There are two different ways you can go about the coil. 1. 28...

    Need help deciding between the bogger box and the reo

    Hmm, there's something wonky going on, but I'm not sure what. I use 28 or 30 ga kanthal, and that is thick enough not to move anywhere. As in, when I try to adjust the height of the coil, it actually takes effort to bend the leads :)

    Highest safe nic level?

    Thank you guys! 30mg seems to do the trick. Since I have two PVs with me (for paranoia), I can have one for the prolonged vaping with 12mg juice, and one with 30 for when I feel like an analog :) Thank you so much for the advices!

    what do you mean by "alignment" with microcoils?

    Highest safe nic level?

    Thank you folks! I'll try to mix 30 mg tonight and see if it does it. Kinda sad -- haven't craved a stinky at all in a year. And suddendly I feel the need

    Highest safe nic level?

    I started vaping at 18mg about a year ago, lowered it to 12 so far. Lately had some extra stress in life that pushed me to the stinkies, as disgusting as they are :( Tried raising the nic level to 20 so far -- doesn't cut it. So, what level is the highest relatively safe to vape? Thank you! Commie

    No. His headband is microcoiled though :)

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    I word Rambo occasionally too. But I still give preference to content over delivery. For example, Rob of Reos Mods makes a few typos occasionally. He also happens to make great mods. SuperXDrifter happens to misuse some words that happen to annoy people. He also happened to have pioneered a new...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Absolutely. Just, for the love of god don'd pulse it on a Reo. Use some mech mod without collapsible spring

    That's the beauty of the state of vaping these days. You love your VV, I love my mech Reo, Tom swears by VV Bogger Box. Everybody happy :)

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    I know... Luckily, my wife doesn't do RBAs or bottom feeders (not counting myself). So I get to do research on her behalf.

    RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

    According to Russ, it tastes exactly like cigarettes. I tried it. Depending on amount of nicotine it ranges from nothing to nothing with a dash of pepper. Had a cigarette yesterday (stress, and my first vape-aversary). It's disgusting. Definitely worse than unflavored nic.

    Need help deciding between the bogger box and the reo

    Oh, no, the usual 33Hz PWM is not specifically bad. It just creates an audible rattle in some atomizers as they heat up and cool off very fast. Probably not noticeable with 27gauge kanthal though. DNA doesn't have that problem, and most people don't really consider it a problem.

    Need help deciding between the bogger box and the reo

    VV bottom feeding may be preferable to some people. Somehow I can't taste very noticeable difference when the battery discharges in a mech. Or at least it doesn't bother me. So, at that point, adding VV for me would only mean larger size and less battery (VV circuit eats some). Some of the VV...

    Need help deciding between the bogger box and the reo

    I can see your point, Tom. I'd like to clarify though, please correct me if I'm wrong: Reos are very well built for most people's purposes. That includes RBAs. Many use a whole lot of different RBAs on them with great success. Some of them use low resistance coils. The problem is in the...

    RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

    I actually have a few o-rings. One (that came with RM2) under the atomizer, by the connection. One bigger, wider one, to cover the exposed brass, just for the looks. Since my air holes line up with the coil by themselves, I haven't used O-rings under the cap like Russ did.

    RM2 / RBA 2.0 / Reomizer 2 Rebuild Tutorial

    I have a theory, though it's hard to prove. If you have a lot of *touching* loops, they support each other like a heat sink. If they don't touch, some will heat up more than others. Some parts of your wick will be overheating, and some will be doing nothing. With touching coils, they all heat...

    Xc-116 vs ekowool

    Well, the flavor improvement is relatively negligible, at least with my juices. I'm loving how it wicks though -- that's a big sell to me.
