    Video About Mods On The Verge

    I don't think this has been posted before, but if it was, my apologies: www theverge com/2014/5/28/5755442/this-is-what-vape-hacking-looks-like-video Quite a bit wrong in my opinion. Also, most of the e-cig "explosions" I've read about weren't from mods but from cheap stick batteries with bad...

    How Has The Reo Grand Changed Over The Years?

    The Grand has been around for a fair bit of time now, so I'm wondering how has it evolved over the years? I'm fairly new to this whole Reo thing so it would be nice to have a little history lesson. From what I know: - Originals came in anodized or powder coat finishes? - Button covers came...

    Vape Shop Reactions

    Funny, whenever I visit a vape shop, it's almost certain that someone there would ask what my Reo was. When I say it's a "Reo" they then exclaim "oh so that's a Reo Grand?". Then they start talking about how cool this little box looks. So it seems, in the land of tube mods, they know the or...

    Are all Reo Grand Door Magnets Oriented The Same Way?

    I'm planning to buy a new Grand and an extra door of a different finish. I plan to use the extra door with my current Grand. I'm hoping to interchange the two doors depending on my mood. Are the magnets on all Grands oriented the same way or would I need to remove and re-install the magnets...

    Poor Little Reo Needs Some Attention

    Hello! Bought a used Reo (just started using it yesterday) and this evening after dinner, I went off to my usual vape spot and it wouldn't fire. So I reckoned I should have cleaned the positive contact first before using it. I did what this thread instructed sans the Noalox (still searching...

    Repainting a Reo

    Hello! Newbie here. :) So I got a used Reo Grand, it's vaping like a champ but it's got some minor cosmetic scratches on its black wrinkle finish from its former owner. So I wonder, would it be a good idea to repaint this? Has anyone done it? What kind of paint does the Reo come with and...

    Solid Copper Contacts - To Plate Or Not? Advice Needed

    Hello, A local vape shop is offering plating services for contacts and pins. My mod already has solid copper contacts and pins. Would it be worthwhile to plate it? Plating options include gold, silver and rhodium. The prices seem pretty cheap enough, about $2 for silver, $3 for gold and...

    Vinegar for copper contacts

    Anyone use vinegar to clean copper contacts? I tried it on mine, quick 3 minute soak and the contacts were pretty shiny afterwards. My mech hits like a mule now. I wonder if there will be negative long term effects on the threading of the copper pins on my device. Vinegar is an acid...

    Nimbus RDA Twisting Center (Positive) Post

    Just picked up a Nimbus from a local vape shop and after uninstalling the rather badly built dual coils it came with, I noticed the center post was twisting with my screwdriver. The entire post moves up and down. Is this normal for this atty? Is this still safe to use or should I try to get a...

    What Will I Gain From A Mech?

    So I'm happily vaping along with 1.5 to 2 ohm builds on an eVic at 8W. But with all the talk about mech mods, I decided to check them out. There's a nice modding community here in the Philippines and I'm starting to like how our local mods look. The build quality on some of them is really...

    First Atomizer Rebuild, Will My eVic Protect Me From Stupidity?

    So I rebuilt my ERA the first time. The old coil was curiously creeping up on resistance as registered on my eVic. At first it was fine at 1.9 ohms. I switched liquid so I flushed the wick on running water then I air dried them. Did some dry burns and it was now up to 2.0. Later it crept as...

    mAh settings - is it only for the puff counter?

    Hello! I've just gotten a short tube and I plan to use the 18350 (800mAh) for usual operations. I have the 18650 (2600mAh) as backup. Do I need to reset the mAh setting everytime I switch batteries if I do not use the puff counter feature? Thanks!

    Drip RBA Recommendation

    I'm looking to get a decent drip RBA. Is the Bully good? Seems cheap enough at Green Puff Megamall (unless my poor eyesight was betraying me). I'm not looking to go for a dual coil setup. I'm not really chasing clouds, so one that has good airflow and good flavor would be nice. A simple...

    Anyone Using A Vision ET RBA?

    Anyone here using a Vision ET RBA? I've got one and I'm wondering if anyone else tried some different wicking configurations to stock and what kind of wires and how many loops you've done and what resistance you ended up on yours. It's my first time around rebuilding an atomizer. I could just...

    Buying Online

    Hello! New member here hailing from Pasig! :) A quick question, have any of you bought any vape items online and shipped them over here via DHL, UPS, or FedEx? What did you purchase and how were the import taxes (if any)? Thanks!

    Does Anybody Use The RVV or RVW Feature?

    Hello! Finally able to post here! I'm a new eVic user and so far I am loving it! As a gadget lover, the ability to update firmware and tweak stuff was really what got me to buy the eVic. That said, has any of you used the power curve function of the eVic? It seems like a good way to kick...

    New To Mods, Thinking of Getting an eVic. Is the old version worth buying?

    Hello! I'm new to mods. Based on my research so far, the eVic seems like a good choice to get started in mods since it's simple and has some (conservative?) safety limits set to protect me from newbie mistakes. I also like the pass-through battery and the option to update the firmware...
