    Recommendations for an old school vaper

    Hi all, I’ve been out of the rebuildable game for a while now, and am getting back into it after getting a Kayfun Prime. I’m looking around, and all I see are cloud chasing atomizers... which I do dabble in when I find aesthetics I like (recently got an Entheon) but my day to day vape is...

    Wire rope and hotspots galore

    Hello all! I'm not new to the rebuilding scene, but I am new to the wire rope party. I'm setting up my Bliss with two wire rope wicks. The tops are covered with a decent thickness of regular mesh, and just enough so the mesh barely enters the wick holes. I'm wrapping my 30g coils, intending...

    A few questions...

    ... about my new Provari. First off, I'm absolutely loving it. But, like any mod I own, I want to protect it from harm's way and the treacheries of a harsh world. So I have a few questions about the durability and longevity. First is about the 510 connection. The threads are stainless, so I'm...

    So something funny happened today...

    So today, I went to my local vape shop. Only the second time I've been there, I just wanted a few bottles of juice. I walked into the door, and saw a few Provari's in the glass showcase. I said out loud, "Oh, you have Provari's!" Then I saw it, and said, in a much lower, more contemplative tone...

    Re-wicking a micro coil

    Hey guys, So I've been using micros and cotton wicks for a little while now (6 wraps of 28g for 0.9-1 ohm), and it's working really well in my Hornet. However, whenever I rewick the coil (remove old wick, dry burn, rinse, dry and rewick) I tend to get a weird metallic taste. This doesn't happen...

    A very quick question...

    Hello my friends! I've got a Reomizer 2.0 snugly in my cart over at Reos Mods, and I have a quick question before I check out. I saw on the site "Magnets Metal Reos", and I'm curious what these are for. What I'm guessing these are for are batteries, and I'm wondering if these can make a flat...

    A real introduction!

    So, I posted a question about the 510 connector about a week ago, but here's my real introduction into Reoville. I originally got my Reo for the car, since I drive up to Massachusetts about once a month to see my (lovely) girlfriend, but I've been using it more as an all day vape lately...

    Question on the 510 connection

    Hello all, just got a Reo Grand yesterday, and I have a quick question about the 510 connection. Is it cut directly into the aluminum, or is it some kind of insert? I'm always wary of aluminum threads, especially on 510 connections. And if they are, has anyone managed to wear theirs down, or...

    The Digital Cig - Fantastic!

    About three weeks ago I ordered a Lavafire Lock (a Titan clone) in stainless steel from The Digital Cig. It shipped promptly, and securely. However, I was in Massachusetts when the package arrived, and a day or two later I received an email from Tim himself about a mistake that was made. That...

    Damaged the wick hole insulator... help!

    So I got a Somnium second hand today. Gorgeous little atomizer... I've always wanted one. I set it up, wrapped a damn fine coil, it fired perfectly. I wanted to play with it some more, so I went to take the wick out, and... it was stuck! I eventually had to grab a pair of pliers and yank the...

    VHO Helios Question

    So I've been tinkering with my Helios I just got yesterday, and have some questions. I've done rebuildable drippers before, but this is my first attempt at a dual coil. The Helios is capable of quad coils... however, I'm sticking with dual at the moment. Anyway, I haven't been getting the vapor...

    The Flavor of the Week

    I want to talk psychology. If you spend enough time looking at mods and RBA's, around the forums and on Youtube, you start to realize there's a "flavor of the week". Whether it be the GG line, the Kayfun, Chi-you, or Caravela, there are devices out there so sought after they become almost...

    Charred center post with Cobra genesis?

    I was just wondering if anyone has experienced blackened/burned/charred-looking stains on the nuts around the center post, where you trap the wire? I ran about three tanks through my Cobra before deciding to rebuild it, and saw the stains and am just wondering if I'm doing something wrong? I've...

    How to care for your 510 connection?

    There are lots of posts about how to care and maintain the threads in a mod, but very little info on how to care for the threads of your 510 connection, which is what usually gets the most abuse. This is especially important with connections made out of brass, or a similar "softer" metal, with...

    20 - 21mm Genesis

    So I'm looking to buy a new genesis atomizer that will fit a new mod, which is (I believe) 21mm diameter. I've been looking at the Cobra (I have been for a while), the Bliss, and the Somnium. The second two are hard to come by it seems, but I decided to perhaps branch out and see if there's any...

    The VHO Cronus, or: I think I'm in love, but she'll be an expensive date.

    So I'm looking at getting a new mechanical mod. I tend to think about my mod purchases very carefully, and I only own three (EA Mod, Galileo, and Galileo USA). I did own a Smoktech Telescope, but I was curious how the brass underneath looks, so I kinda tore it apart real good. Anyway, I've been...

    Can cartomizer threads damage stainless steel?

    So I did something silly today... I dropped my EA Mod off the table and, with Murphy's Law in effect, it landed right on the cartomizer tank and BAM, the threads crossed right then and there; they crossed faster than the eyes of a kid just kicked by a mule. I took the tank off, and with careful...

    EA M Tank up for Beta Testing

    So, I was skimming around my usual checkups of my favorite vendors, and Electric Angel announced today that they're sending out 25 of their new tanks for beta testing. I'm a big fan of my EA Mod, so I thought I'd give Mika a hand in getting the word out. :-) Link on Electric Angel: EA M Tank...

    Kick gets funky below certain voltages...?

    I've had my Kick for about 2 months or so, and I've been using it mainly with my EA Mod and two 18650 EH IMR, flat tops I have (I've got some AW's on the way, because I hear they're some of the best). I've also just been using a carto tank, with a LR carto. The EH batteries are maybe 6 months...

    Galileo USA Question

    So I got this device a few weeks ago, and I really quite like it. The Italian Galileo was my first mod ever, so the design is very near and dear to me, and the USA looks and works perfect after a good cleaning and a new spring (the spring that came installed was far too stiff for my girly piano...
