    Reo p67 Written/text Review? and request for opinions

    I've been vaping on 2 reo grands I've had since around 2012 or 2013. Both are now having some trouble. I believe it is the firing pin on them and I'm going to send them in for repair. However, I just noticed the p67 on the website. Is this a new Reo model? What makes it different from the...

    Educate a vet on sub-ohm

    It's been a real long time since I've been on ECF. I left right as the whole sub-ohm movement was just getting started. I've actually built a few sub ohm coils and did fairly well with it but to be honest, when this all started I was a bit nervous from a safety perspective so I quit the whole...

    Has anyone made a new bottom fed box mod?

    I have 2 Reos which I really love and work well for me. Once I got these though, I really quit following vape technology and advancements. I've been off ECF for a year or so. Is there anything new? Or is it still just Reo and a few custom bottom fed builders?

    So I've become a Reo douchbag

    It's not like I set out to do this. I just bought a Reo and it completely game changed vaping for me. Then I bought a second one and I've not used anything since. So now, whenever I see anyone either here or on FB or anyone who is discussing vaping. I'm just all...... BUY A REO ALREADY YOU...

    Why I'm fed up with the vape community (mostly)

    I'm not fed up with all of you. Just most of you. I joined in 2011, have been vaping 3 years now. When I started, the cartomizer had just been invented, people were still for the most part using egos and cigalikes and the variable voltage mods has just taken off. Now, vaping has descended...

    RM2 emergency wicking situation

    I really do hate to ask this and I hope no one is offended but here's my situation. Last night I rebuilt one of my RM2s. I tested it out and went to bed. This morning on the drive in i noticed some dry hitting and all efforts to squonk would not help. I feared that the cotton wick was...

    FDA Why is there no hardware litigation?

    I understand by reading certain releases from CASAA that they are of the opinion that the juice we use is in fact a tobacco product and derived from the tobacco plant. And that very little can be done on that front to fight these deeming regulations. I would agree, juice is obviously...

    Who else is a serial hobbier?

    So I'm about to hit my 3 year vapeversary (is that even a word?). When I started in 2011 I went all nuts and got into all manner of products, tried everything under the sun. Then the rba craze hit this place and again I went all nuts into that aspect of vaping. Finally I began DIYing juice...

    Simple green tea and pear

    I've done a lot of mixing and come out with some great juices but I've also had my share of total failures....i figure i have about a 30% success rate. Anyway, to make my post short, I just wanted to share a success that is ultra simple with the board. TFA green tea @5% E-cig express pear @3%...

    Are we winning?

    It's not very often the subject of politics makes me smile. The government in recent years isn't very sympathetic to its citizens anymore but I find myself today extremely happy in the way things have shaken our with regard to the FDA regs and the future of vaping generally. These regs are...

    Brasso?

    Hello again Reoville. I got a new REO about 2-3 weeks ago and ordered a brass RM2. It works just fine like the others, no complaints in the department but it seems to tarnish up pretty fast and look dullish/bronzish quite quickly. I know that a product is sold in supermarkets and hardware...

    Connection issues

    Hi again all, I've been off ecf a while. I have a reo grand here and I really love it. I'm having a problem though. It seems the button isn't always making good contact. Sometimes it works just fine. I get a nice thick cloud. Other times it's very wispy and feels like the battery isn't...

    RDA manufacturers-MAKE THE HOLE BIGGER!!

    I hate to all cap here but c'mon. Why does every single rda I buy come with such a small hole. I have a drill and have been somewhat successful in drilling out some of my rdas but why can't they just come with a bigger hole to begin with? It's hard to drill the things without scarring up the...

    reducer tube?

    I've been mointoring the Reo site every other day or so waiting for the reducer tube to be back in stock. It hasn't been since I got my Reo. This looks like something I ought to be able to source locally or at least online from a plastics dealer of some kind. Like get a 20 ft length of and...

    Um, why are people still dripping?

    It took me a very long time to try a bottom feeding mod. I'm about a month into this. I got a REO and a RM2, watched super x's video and really never want to ever again bother with sub ohm coils, dripping, the associated mess and/or hassles. Why does ANYONE still drip when they could just get...

    Preparations for freezing nic

    Hello again Friends, With fda regs looming at the end of the year, I'm at a point where I am considering buying and freezing a large quantity (for me) of nic in high concentration. I intend to buy a liter from RTS vapes (100 mg strength). My plan is to not even use this stuff until after the...

    Just some thanks for the help

    Just wanted to say say thank you to all the Reo vets who came to my aid last Friday night. If you didn't see the post, I had a clogged 510 connection on a brand new Grand. I'm a fairly impatient individual and was really frustrated over the issue. I had actually squonked so hard that I had...

    Voltage Drop-the concept

    So I do a lot of reading here and I continually see the term "voltage drop". What I think it means is this.... A fresh-off-the-charger 18650 will be at 4.2v for example. When you stick that battery into a mod the mod itself will have some internal resistance like between the contact point of...
