    I finally found the nads to do the "bottle mod".

    Took about all of a minute apiece to do each of my Grands and it works perfectly. No more o-rings to fart around with. I'm still a little concerned about having the dexterity to pop the bottle loose every time but I guess I'll pick up on it just like wicking and coil-building and all the other...

    Is it beneficial to replace a coil just because you feel like it?

    No, I'm dead serious. I wick with cellucotton so I re-wick every 2 or 3 days and dry burn my coil while doing so. I always try to check the ohms on my coil at that time and it always seems to remain right at 1.0 ohm where I like it. However, when my coil has been on for a couple weeks or more, I...

    Collapsed my first spring today.

    After roughly 4 years with a REO Grand, I thought I might be dancing between the raindrops and today I got soaked. I'd vaped on it today for 8 hours at least and then it went down. With my spare Grand in for an upgrade, I was in a bit of a panic. Came home, metered my battery(ok), metered my...

    Preparing for winter storm Neptune?

    I'll bet more than a few REOnauts(including the Modmaster) are battening down the hatches in preparation for this monster. If all goes as badly as predicted, we might not hear from some folks for a few days due to power outages and such. After the beating the East Coast has taken this year, it...

    Any word on new stainless 510 inserts?

    Have I missed any news about the new 510 inserts or sockets or whatever they're called? The one in my Grand wobbles around pretty severely and I've more or less shelved it until I can send it in for repair. No biggie since I have a spare Grand. I haven't heard anything about this upgrade for...

    Rubber band around your spool?

    Now maybe everybody knows this tactic but just in case--ya know how your spool of wire likes to go kind of wild if you don't pin down the end after snipping off a piece? Just wrap a wide rubber band around the spool before you ever use it--or after if its already too late. Those blue rubber...

    Breather hole no longer aligned with coil

    For some reason, the cap on my RM2 now migrates around past where my coil sits(when the cap is tight). Do I need to find a proper sized o-ring and place it under the cap? I'm sure this has happened to other REOnauts. Anyone?

    Ever rummage through your old vaping stuff?

    I did when making a little room in my "possibles" storage box. I must have at least 40 new LR atomizers from the old days. Don't know what to do with them. Just taking up space. Anyone know if there exists a Goodwill or Salvation Army for vapers? It makes me feel guilty seeing them. I never...

    New AW IMR 2200 Mah batteries?

    Has anyone seen or seen any kind of review of the *NEW* AW IMR 18650 2200 Mah batteries? I see RTD has them listed on his site but they're out of stock. Supposed to be a max continuous discharge of 20 Amps. I'm due for a complete overhaul of my battery stock and have just been putting it off...

    Burnt cotton wicks.

    I sure burn a goodly number of my cotton wicks off in the coil. Never any doubt about it when I've done it--the taste is obvious. No mystery about why it happens either--always when I'm below a half-bottle in my Grand at the end of the work-day and I get lazy with my squonking. I used to get...

    I've been doing it wrong all this time(for cotton users).

    I feel so stupid and ashamed that it boggles my mind but I'm baring my idiocy in the scant hope that it may help someone with equally deficient mental capacity. Ok, I'm ready.....I can do this. I twirl my cotton wick to a fine enough point that I can insert it into my micro-coil. Being...

    Today is olwildbill's 4-year anniversary as a smoke-free man!

    Way to go, Bill! Another vaping/REO success story that should help motivate all of us. I'm proud of you, Bill.:)

    Applying Noalox.

    When I received my first Grand, it was made apparent to me on the board that applying Noalox was an important part of keeping my Grand healthy. I received the little ziploc of the stuff with my Grand, of course, but I figured I'd just go out and buy a full tube of it for a lifetime supply. The...

    Lost my Grand #1 down by the campfire at the river tonight.:(

    I can't imagine how it happened but it did. I took my metal detector down there in the dark and had zero luck finding it. The river is only a couple hundred yards from my back door and I'm heading there again. Wish me luck.

    I'm always last.

    I hung on to the very end using the Chinese attys. I finally expanded my comfort zone, purchased a couple RM2's and commited myself to learning how to make coils and wicks. It's worked out better than I had hoped. Today I got a wild hair and applied a 1/16th inch drill bit to the breather-hole...

    Vaping in sub-zero temps sucks!

    Zero degrees at the house this morning--10 below up on the logging site. Skidder broke down just about at daybreak and had to mechanic the rest of the day. My REO bottle was stiff and my juice flowed like sludge to the point where I unwittingly burnt my cotton wick in half. I thought my REO...

    When we speak of steeping juices.....

    I understand the necessity of allowing flavoring additives to permeate the solution when diy'ing. I don't really diy other than to mix overflavored juice with unflavored nic to arrive at a less expensive but enjoyable vape. Do you think that mixed juices of different flavors benefit from...

    Going back to my trusty Pila charger.

    I recently bought the Xtar VP1 on a whim even though my Pila worked fine. I've been using the VP1 since I received it and today noticed that the springs I compress when inserting the batteries into the charger are so powerful that they have inflicted a substantial indentation in the bottom of...

    What is the advantage to having long legs on your coil?

    I may have asked this before but as many of you know, my mind is going, so bear with me. I notice the coil gurus have the coil extended out near the barrel of the RM2 whereas I usually pull mine in near to the posts. No reason--just don't know any better, I guess. What is the reason for...

    Ever have a REO juice bottle air-lock?

    At least that's what I'm calling it. I gave my Grand a bath and its bottle too, so I put a new never-before-used bottle on the spare Grand (also recently bathed since last use) afterwards. I couldn't get the juice to go back down the drain hole in the RM2 after the excessive squonking I apply...
