Hello Reoville! I have been away from the scene for a long time, just been vaping my reo grand with 510 cartos for the last year or so. I am getting tired of cartos and I want to try an rba. I see there are soooo many options, its making my head spin. E-cigs are evolving so fast its crazy. I would prefer to start with something on the cheap to make sure I actually like rebuilding coils and such. I stuck with cartos for so long because I got tired of fiddling with stuff.

So, any suggestions for something that works, with a VV grand, and has a low cost entry? I already have some 34g kanthal and cotton yarn from the last time I thought about getting into rbas. Thanks much!

- JT

I just started with rba's this month (from cartos). The RM2 is the easiest first step.

I am using a coat hanger (.086 diameter) to wind coils at 1.7 or 1.8 ohms using 30 gauge wire. A good starting point from cartos. I modified 2 older woodvils yesterday to work with the rm2, turned out to be a very easy job.

For what it is worth, after 2 days with an rm2 I boxed up my cartos & think I may have them traded.

How are they as far as leaking? Can I still toss my Reo in my pocket on the go? I literally take it with me EVERYWHERE I go!

Wait until you wrap your first coil and take the drag......gonna' blow your head off. SO much better than cartos. Be prepared to lower your nic level by quite a bit.

I want my head blown off! =)

Before you pocket the mod make sure you take a few puff . Its not much different from running standard cartos - atomizers don't fill the atty with juice and toss it in your pocket you will be good to go
