Battery life usually refers to where the voltage output of the battery from use drops to a point where the quality of vape falls off. Most folks run from a fully charged battery at or near 4.1-4.2VDC down to 3.8-3.7VDC, then recharge it or change to another fully charged battery. I don't find it as critical as some do, so I run mine lower. In a short time you'll know when to recharge/change your battery based on the vape you are getting without checking the voltage the batt is actually putting out.

If your Reo uses an 18650 batt, it is a Grand. The aluminum button added to it is an accessory Remosmods offers.

Some folks have negative reactions to PG, so not all that uncommon. I'm not one of them but I still do not use PG except via some of my DIY flavor concentrates that are based on PG (and are being replaced with VG based concentrates). Living on a true desert my climates temperature extremes are the opposite of yours in the frozen north. So I can vape my preferred 100% VG or VG Heavy year round with no viscosity issues at all. But I lived in the frozen north for nearly half my life and well remember liquid viscosity issues of other things. So a thought from those days that I did with some of those other things... you might try carrying your Reo in a pocket close to your body, let body heat help keep the "juices flowing" in your Reo so you can use less to no PG.
Ohh, i didn't mean that for a battery life, i know that :) I usually run my batteries down to 3.6 or if my resistance happens to end up very low then i'll take them to 3.5V but never lower. The only batteries that go lower than 3.5V are the 14500 ones, i'm using those for my Silver Fox when i need a stealth vape or when i'm going somewhere out but knowing i'll be right back. Those batteries if i do the standard 0.8 Ohm setup are going down to 3.2V without any kind of a loss in performance. Vape, vape, vape, and suddenly no more vape. Check the batts with multimeter and they are at 3.2 lol.
A far as Reo goes, and the bottles, it remains to be seen hows that going to work for me. I'm currently on a vacation, starting again on monday, and thats going to be true test for both of us :)

So, i need an clarification. Reo Grande uses 18650, and Reo Mini would then use what, 18500? I just wanna know what am i dealing with here, since the shop that sold me this one obviously didn't have any idea of what they sell in the shop...

Yep - the mini 2.1 uses 18490/500's. The original mini uses 14500's.

You, sir, have a grand.

ETA: ... and the new soft bottles would work just fine in it.
Thank you very much for the info :) I was a bit exhausted from a New Year, and while i was trying to find some info on Reo's site, i skip the most obvious part, the home page where everything is explained lol :D

    Arrived at USPS Origin Facility
    SCARBOROUGH , ME 04074
Yup.. was expecting my 7 bottles plus extras to show up today as the tracking shown but nope!! Lost I guess before it ever made it out of maine!

Thanks usps and first class mail (first time from reosmods in 5 years). And thanks reosmods Web site f up thst only had first class as an option..


Just got done taking all the Christmas lights off and on the last branch of the front tree I wrapped here I see the mail lady pull up. My neighbors and my mail boxes are right next to ea other and I seen her scan an envolope and slap it in the mailbox.. yes! Perfect reward for all thst work outside in the cold and not! Neighbor gets the package.

So I'm sure it's one of those will update Tuesday and I'll see it in a week.. but crap!! If it was priority mail I would of had them to play with over the weekend. :/

I just got mine in the mail from Rob - question though. Am I supposed to trim the tube? it looks really long at first glance. Was curious before I put it on.
Have to trim it, yes.
The tubing is softish. I use spit to lube it up and muscle it onto the squink pin. Dont use a tool. You can even tear it with a finger nail.

Thank you! So, I did mess mine up with my nail and now it's a hair too short. It dangles. Will this be a bad thing? It's like it's feet don't touch the ground! hahah. So far though, it's so much easier to squonk. No more cracked nails hopefully!

It won't hurt that it dangles, but it just won't get every single drop out of the bottle. I have some extra tubing, so if you find that it's just too short and you want a do-over, PM me and I'll stick a little in an envelope and mail it to you.

Thanks Jan! I will let you know. I might take you up on that but I typically don't leave the house without the bottle being full so that might not be much of an issue. Thank you! Currently the tube is all the way at the bottom of the bottle actually, but now the bottle doesn't make contact with the bottom of the mod. That's the part that dangles a bit.

I did that (snipped too short) to one of mine. I went ahead and pulled the bottle down to the bottom (leaving the tube a little short of hitting the bottom of the bottle) because I didn't like it dangling. It's a choice....

Edit: that's why I went ahead and ordered some extra tubing....

Put a little cushion under the bottom

Sorry, Steam. I feel for you. Delayed vape mail is frustrating and disappointing.

Hope they arrive soon.

Ordered mine on New Years Eve and got them today, which I thought was very fast, given the holiday/weekend in there. I took the opportunity to give both my Grands a nice bubble bath before putting on the new bottles, giving them a dose of DeOxit, and building new coils. (In the process, I discovered the best tool in the world for getting the button covers off....a wooden clothes pin, the perfect thickness to go under them and pry them up).

I did have a bit of trouble getting the tube onto the mods due to the small diameter tubing combined with my fat fingers, but eventually got them on nice and snug.

These bottles ARE nice, aren't they! I was hoping they would help with my high VG juices and do they ever. Just a little squonk and that thick syrup loads right up!
