I have SO enjoyed seeing you struggle through all the subtleties of using a REO, and arriving at a happy place. You asked excellent questions and never gave up. I salute you!

I can't resist planting a seed here, though, just something to think about in the future. A LOT of us have switched to unflavored ejuice, and there are 2 really good reasons you might want to try it.

First, it *dramatically* increases the life of your coil/wick. I've gone easily 3 months without a change, and then just because I want to try something different. I "dry burn" maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks, but other than that, it's just squonk, vape, vape, vape, squonk, etc.

Secondly, is the cost. I buy a LITER of 24mg unflavored (I buy from Myfreedomsmokes) for about $45. You can easily dilute that down with pure VG or PG (around $10 a quart from amazon). I don't have the exact numbers, but I estimate total cost for my vaping is way less than $1.00 a week!

Just as an aside, buying the unflavored in bulk allows you to "stock up". I currently have about 8 liters here, enough to easily last a couple of years for me and my wife both (who, coincidentally, just this week finally decided to give the REO a try, after vaping an ego-t for years, and she's a believer now too :) )

Anyway, unflavored is not "no flavor", it actually has a very slight sweet taste to it, and your taste buds don't tire of it easily, like mine always did when I vaped flavored juices.

Something to think about, at least. You can buy 60ml bottles to try it if you ever decide to go down that road.

And I just want to say again what a fine job you did sticking to it, asking the right questions, and putting in the effort to learn it all. NICE WORK! :)

ancient...I like your idea a lot. I used to vape no flavor, just PG and very little VG. And you're right, it's mildly sweet. I can even see buying a big bottle of your favorite flavor and adding just a pinch to your mostly base liquid.

Can you tell us which PG and VG you get from Amazon? There are a lot of choices. Which are the safest? :)

I bought this PG and this VG and have been quite pleased with both. :)

What ohm coil do you like? Do you mouth or lung hit? Do you want massive clouds or most flavor?

In general: For single coil flavor RM2 LP or RM3, For dual coils, RM4
I have been working on at least mouth to a small lung, instead of lung hit. Long time smoker..so I had no idea when I first started vaping it was different.
I like the vape cloud, but it doesn't have to be ridiculous. I like some flavor. It was doing real good today on the rm2 at 1.0 ohm. I tend towards the lower ohms even with my tanks..like the 1.5-1.6 vs the higher ones like 2.0.

I didn't have other mods to compare my REO. But I did use atomizers! I will say the RM2 has ruined any other atomizer for me.

Sent a RM2 to a friend. He called and said he was mad at me. All because the RM2 totally ruined his other RBA!

Flavor and vapor are just so good I can't believe there is anything better!

Yes! My aspires both taste like metal now, and they were both my favorites.Now the kangers taste ok, and they were very muted once I had gotten the aspires.
I have a mega tank I have not even tried yet, as well as an ibtanked carto. I also have a vtr I won't have a use for.
I see a classies ad in my future, or find them a good home maybe.
