back to vaping again

[gatorfan1982]

Hey everyone, nice to be back. I have some questions but first just want to say that I started vaping about a year ago and did so for a couple months. During that time I didn't smoke any real cigs which was great but over time it started getting more difficult to vape, having to carry juice everywhere, making sure batteries were charged, carrying juice in my pocket everytime I left the house. Just started to be a pain so it was just easier to smoke, so I started smoking again for about a year and now I'm back. I want to start vaping again, really want to stick with it this time

My biggest issue was when I wanted to change juices, how do people do this when they are away from the house? Don't you have to clean your cig before changing juices? How do you clean carts, or do you just throw them away? What are dual coils? Just seems very time consuming

By the way I have a riva but thinking about getting the reo mini.

With the REO mini you can have your "all day" in the bottle and drip your extra flavors.....all your 510 supplies will fit....and it is built for life !

Yeah, the charging batteries thing is a bit inconvenient, but I solved the problem by getting more and bigger batteries and a PCC. The PCC also holds cartridges/cartomizers &c and I just put it in my purse. (A briefcase would work too.) Actually, I have two PCCs because I use both the 510-T and the 808 systems. 4 batteries (XL and Mega) for each system and a stash of cartomizers/cartridges and no fear of running out anytime soon. Plus I can plug the batteries into USB chargers in my car while I work, drive, etc.

One of my PCCs holds 6 cartridges, and I have two in each of three flavors. The other holds four cartridges and I only have two flavors. Still, that's way overkill for me since I only go through maybe 1.5 ml of juice daily.

So with a little planning and organization and the right accessories -- you need not fear being unprepared!

The Reo Mini sounds perfect for you.

REO Mini with a pocketful of cartomizers with different flavors to switch off if you want to change flavors.

Had a Reo mini... I don't need to list off the positives because there are a thousand people who will. So, here are my criticisms:
1. The drip cup is a magnet for lint if you carry in your pocket.
2. Bottom fed system is not as flavorful IMO than top fed system ala vapemate (which I have and wouldn't recommend)
3. Definitely takes skill to not flood your atty on Reo. You will be constantly checking for flooding if you are not a PV master.
4. Doors are a bit loose and clacky
5. Changing the fricken bottle is a pain as the tube pulls outta the cap at times and affects the way the bottle sits in the unit
(you have to have one to know what I'm talking about)
6. Most important of all. You almost HAVE to use a LR atty. Standard atties on the Reo suck. simple as that.

Anyway, the Reo Mini is great. But, no PV is perfect.

OK, hellfire to commence in 3... 2... 1...

Thanks for the advice everyone, ok I have actually misplaced my riva somewhere. If I can't find it, what else do I need to order if I get the reo?

Really, all you need is two batteries (one for backup) and maybe an extra bottle or so. Noalox may be a good idea too since the pin can oxidize from time to time. I think the website even suggests picking up a bit of noalox; although, the reos come with a tiny bit of noalax to get you started.

Also I haven't had a cig in 4 days, eating a lot of sunflower seeds lol. Has anyone here tried juice without nic?

 

[Civitasdei]

I love 0 nic juice. It's a super clean vape. No throat hit, though.

As you can tell from my post I'm still a newbie, so do you think the reo would be to much for a newer vaper? Don't want something that I'm constantly having to fix

Hmm... people who love the Reo are evangelical about it's awesomeness. And, it is awesome. As for myself, it was not for me. There are too much fiddling involved. But, PV choice is incredibly personal. I'd say at least try it. If you don't like it, there are about 50 people here at any given moment who would be willing to take it off your hands. Not much to lose.
