A new Reo(used) owner

[oplholik]

Just picked up a slightly used Reo mini, my first. Just have to wait for it to get here. Man, I'm jonesing to try it. Not sure what to go with when it gets here, a carto or an atty. I have two 306's and one io6 attys, and a slew of Resurrectors. I've never used an atty for anything except to test juices. I like the flavor, th, and vapor from the 1.5Ω io6 over the lr 306's. So just may go with that at first. I'm curious to find out just how long an atty will last, at 8-9 dollars a pop, they better last a good long while. If they turn out to not last too long, I'll probably stay with the cartos. So, I'll be watching for the mail person in a couple days.

Congrats new Reonaut! We are all here for you! Welcome to the REO family!

Excellent! Can't wait to see it arrived! Keep us posted!

Congrats! I know you will love it!

I have only used cartomizers since the day I started vaping. Like you, I just used attys to test juice and didn't do a very good job of it. I gave most of the attys that came with kits away but did manage to find one the other night. It's old- very old. But I really liked it. It wasn't a great atty, just the joye atts that came with a kit. I imagine one like you're talking about with definitely be much better.

I have only used my atty's to test juice, hated how often I had to add juice when dripping. So I have an older atty from a kit that I only use to test flavors-it is now on my reo. Pink atty does not quite match the silver and blue of the reo, but it works and that is all that counts!

Hey, anyone know where you can get a blue atty? That would look neat lol.

Here's one place that sells them.

Just sitting here wondering, and I'll probably see how when I get it, but just how does the juice get into the atty or carto when the bottle is squonked? Oh wait, does the tube extend up into the center of the atty?

The atty or cartos has a hole in the middle of the bottom. The juice travels up the tube in the bottle and up into the atty. Through the connector. Pretty sweet huh!

There is a hole in the bottom of the atty connector and the juice feeds from it through the hole in the bottom of the atty. Excess juice will drain out of the atty from the air holes just above the threads of the atty and into the reservoir. With a little practice, you'll learn to feed your atty the right amount of juice every time and never have juice drain into the reservoir.

jonesing I did too!

In fact, I downloaded pictures, and looked lovingly at it every day -- good thing it came pretty quickly, or I might have gone on to an arts & craft project and made a cardboard REO to hold and dream Seriously, I woulda!

Congratz & Godspeed!

CCV is gonna be carrying Resurrector JR's, I'll have to get some of those when he gets em.

Congrats and welcome to the team. I would suggest you start off with a carto before you move onto an atty. Just gives you some time to get used to squonking.

Generally, an atty can last for 3 weeks to a year. Depending on how well you maintain it and the quality of the atomizer itself. Other times it will be out of sheer luck. I have a few atomizers that are about 6 months old and older.

I recommend de-wicking all of your atomizers when you attempting to use them the first time (your choice of course). Then I would prime them with 6 drops. Let it sit for 10 minutes before you vape it. If it still tastes a little dry then do a little blind squonk. That should eliminate the taste issue.

Afterwards, then all you have to do is squonk it every 5 hits like you would with dripping. Or when you taste a decrease in flavor. If you taste a slight hint of a burnt type flavor then that's a good sign to feed your atomizer. Since the next hit will be full blown disgust. As always, I suggest trying the blind squonk method:

1. Lightly squeeze the bottle while taking a dry hit.
2. When you get a slight gurgle then you can stop.
3. Do a couple of primer puffs and then vape.

Be prepared to use all of your atomizers that you have in rotation. Clean them after a day or so and this will make them last a bit longer. Especially if you use primarily VG juices.

Hope that helps

Expected delivery date is tomorrow. Ooo boy, that mailman is gonna catch h888 tomorrow if he doesn't have it. Won't be his fault, but....

 

[oplholik]

I'm gonna have to get a couple more attys ordered to try, just have the io6 for now. I don't really want to put an XL carto on it. Have to wait till CCV gets the Resurrector JR's in.

 

[oplholik]

My mini got to it's new home today. It looks great! Original owner said it was 2 months old. He put the carbon fiber decals on it, and I kinda like it that way. It has a nice feel to it.

Looks good! Are you experience vaping nirvana yet?
