X, I know I've said this before.. but I just reread my post and I wanted to make sure I was clear...

THANK YOU! You freakin rock, man. You REOvangelist, you!

Absolutely can not thank you enough for sharing your passion for the REO as readily, often, sincerely, and indiscriminately as you do.

I owe the epic vapes I enjoy every day to you sharing your passion for the device.

Those Tiny DT's. They are very good. :)

Thanks for the heads up on those X. I received a couple Friday from RTD along with a couple aw 1600's. Tip looks sweet on the copper vein, even got a couple compliments on it at work. Seems to give me a warmer vape also.

I loaded a fresh aw 1600 in the grand around 5:30 pm yesterday and it was still going strong when I arrived home from work around 6:30 this morning. Very happy with these.

Thanks man. It's inevitable that you would have found them one day. I'm flattered though. I definitely kept throwing them in y'all's face every chance I got no? And even when there was no real good opening, I kept (and keep) trying to tell people that there's a better way :)

I'm real glad that you joined us bro :)
I probably could stand not to gush so much about these vaporizers though. People probably think I'm weird :)

RTD vapor my brother. Damn. I should have ordered one for you too bro. Next time I'll get more :)

Here's the link: Drip Tips : 510 Black Delrin Drip Tip type B
Thanks for the thought. I just ordered from them last week too. I'll probably order an igo-s from them soon just to have something to tinker with and I'll put a few of those tips in the cart along with it. I keep my grand in a compact camera case which is almost perfect except that the grand is slightly too tall to be able to zip up with the DT on it.

I totally forgot to check the first MKNE that I've been using as I really didn't notice huge a difference through the battery life. Just checked it & it was just dipped into 3.6v. With some atties I can notice a big difference when the battery gets to 3.7v. The MKNE was being used wigh a .7 ohm coil. It was still hitting great, just a little drop in heat.

Popped it in the charger & took 26 mins to charge at the 4.5A setting & the charged capacity for that charge was 677mah. Great batteries, still buying AW 1600s though.

I hope they're genuine!



Can any of you electricity genuises advise what kind of tiny magnet I could use on top of these or my MNKE's?

I have some tiny rare-earth magnets from RS that are about the size of the button on top of the AW's but they cause a perceptible voltage loss.

I for one am not comfortable using magnets on top of flatops. I also wonder why you need them. My Sony 1600mah flat tops have no problem making contact in my Grand.

Also, next paycheck I am probably going to buy a few AW 1600's and MNKE's to compare against my Sony's. So far I love them and they hit like a champ.

I don't really "need" them, I suppose. I just prefer to not have to press the button down so far. My flat top MNKE's do work just fine, I just have some paranoid perception that I should avoid putting undue excess pressure on the firing bar.

So far the AW 1600's are still my favorites. I'll be giving these 20R's a go tomorrow, or tonight maybe :)

For what it's worth. Me, Stats, and darkzero all recently compared AW 1600s and MNKEs in an informal kinda way. bLAh BLah bLAh BlaH. For the REO, get the AW 1600s. :)

Just finished my third use cycle with one of those green Sammy's. I wouldn't be surprised if they are counterfeit. My highly sophisticated mouth meter tells me they must have greater internal resistance than the others I've tried lately. Just not hitting as hard at same no-load voltage as the others. Maybe they don't shine until you start draining electrons at a rate closer to their limit? They're not performing as well as the MNKE's, and can't hold a candle to the AW1600's.

FWIW... I'm still there too. I've still been using the MNKE's but if anyone asked me which 18650 batteries are best for a mech my :2c: is get the AW1600's.. and don't look back.

Trading the EA for this...





The guy I'm trading with is a totally cool cat. We ended up chatting about vape stuff for like 2 hours after he texted me those pics. He has (among others) a Wizard, a Wizard's Apprentice and 3 Chalices.. I was unable to talk him out of one of the Chalices.. lol

Hey stats, is that the tumbled finish? In those pics it looks a lot better than on the reosmods site. Let me know!

Mmmmjm, i wonder if i still have time to change my order for the tumbled one then.... Wife pushed me into the white / black and it certainly looked better there than the tumbled one

Btw, when you order from reosmods, do you get anything besides' paypal confirmation from the site?

Btw, what wrong with the pannys? I use the gray ones and i feel they are much better than the AWs (and lots cheaper, 4 for 26 at amazon)
