complaint department...

[oldbroad]

I understand your frustrated this is more like a first date .You will get it it takes time no one masters the mod on day 1.Give me a call we can talk maybe I can help I am better on the phone then typing

by golly, I think I'm in love

Talked to rob a few hours ago and he took the time out of his incredibly busy life to advise me about all things Reo.
To make a long story short...
HEAVEN!!! I'm in HEAVEN !!!! NOOO..not cuz I'm in love, sillies
I'm in vaping heaven!! Guess it just took his magic touch, so to speak, to make my Reo behave like the lovely lady
she is.
And, Rob, acouple of hours after you talked with me, I started getting AWESOME TH!!!!

All you Reonuts that were so generous with your advise and so patient with my ranting and raving and cussing,
I offer you apologies, and a special huge thanks to Karen, who spent over an hour on the phone with me last nite trying to figure out what the problem was I was having.

Could it possibly have been user-error?!!

God bless all of you...I am now a REOfangirlcultist

Hey I've been through it too- I understand. I, like Lisa just replace my Ultrafire charger...My WF-188 sparked and shorted on me while I was trying to insert batteries- boy that was scary! And, I have run out of juice and had to vape no flavor nic/VG mix I was able to throw together. On top of that, I'm constantly killy attys and I've had days where nothing worked at all and I had 5 Reo's in front of me....then, there are days that everything is vaping BLISS!!!! Anyway, glad you got it figured out. Just be aware- there will be other frustrating times but we're all here to help you and help each other!!

Tenn...what charger do you recommend?

 

[colt45]

for a cheaper one the trustfire 001 is about as good as it gets. if you can afford it the xtar or pila are the best

 

[TennDave]

Tenn...what charger do you recommend?

Just got the Xtar WP2-II...it comes w/ the charging cord for the car too- it's a smaller form factor (and seems sturdier- but the 18650s fit in it very well w/o rattle or looseness)) than the trust/ultrafires and uses the same charging method as the more expensive Pila charger- cost is $19.99 from Rtdvapor. I've been very impressed with it- all batteries come off the charger at exactly 4.2V. I had used the WF-188 (which is the one that sparked/shorted on me) and I also have two WF-139's but they were over-charging my batteries (was noticing that batteries were coming off as high as 4.35V) and decreasing the vaping life of my AW's.

I just got my Xtar today so I can't say anything about how great it might be yet. I'll add it to the list of good buys if there's good feedback on it.

I'm so happy for you! I love it when things turn around. Rob is fantastic like that! and so is Karen Welcome again, oldbroad....May you have error free vaping for years to come!

 

[doots]

I am so glad it worked out for you.. I love to see happy endings!

I have several of those icky TF chargers that sit in the closet, they either made noise like a screaching alien or my AW IMR's wouldn't charge all the way, I picked up a Pila at RTD and have never had an ounce of problems with batts since then.

I went through some pretty grouchy/very frustrated beginnings as well, I was about to chuck it all in, but why I keep buying and trying stuff only to set it back after an hour and grab the reo, well I guess I am a convert. I just need to accept that there is no better mod out there for me and stop spending money, but there are no Grands or 18490's to buy right now

 

[kabonk]

I just got the XTAR WP6 II on Monday and I'm thinking I don't like it, I've been using a pila but now that my mods and future VV woodvil all use different size battery I thought it would be nice to have a 6 bay option that I could have the spacer preset but there's something about it I'm not liking I'll give it a few more days

K....*wiggle* I'm ready!

 

[TennDave]

*wiggle* I'm ready!

I just love it when there's a *wiggle* on the Reo sub-forum....sort of brings a tear to my eye.

 

[oldbroad]

no, seriously, I do have some questions on what to purchase and from whom....

I think you n tenn have answered the battery charger " ?" But I've been on the forum all day, reading all kinds of stuff, watching all kinds of videos ( I'd sorta remembered from yesterday about a strange condom way to fill cartos, but couldn't remember where I.d seen it0
Then I got on the site you put together that has a plethera of info., which I should have read more of, most of my so-called issues might have been cleared up,lol.
ok, here i go:
I like strong TH, what ratio pg/vg?( I'm currently using 60/40 or 70/30)
What type atomizers for strong TH?vendor?
What type cartomizers for strong throat hit? vendor?

I just ordered some 10ml juices from BWB, what's another good company?

thanks in advance

Well...I'm not a throat hit junky so I may not be the best person to answer this...but here goes:

To obtain better throat hit you can use a higher concentration of PG, you can add a few drops of distilled water or PGA to your juice, use a higher level of nic, or use a lower resistant atomizer. There are also certain flavors that carry more POW like cinnamon, menthol or some of the tobacco type flavors.

www.ecigexpress.com has a Mint Menthol mix that puts me on my bum....its a mood thing and I can't vape much of it before my throat begins to hurt. But I'm a pansy...
Alien Visions E-Juice has Havana Gold that has a really nice sweet bold flavor with tons of burn to it at 18mg or higher. It tastes like a fresh cigar right out of the tube that has never felt the kiss of acrid flame. I mix this with my sweet juices to deepen their flavor. My husband vapes it straight up at 18mg on good days and 24mg on bad days. It has a definite kick to it. I'm not normally a tobacco flavor fan at all, most of them taste like old shoes to me. But this one is fantastic, IMO.

I will let others fill in the blanks as I know we have some REAL TH junkies that hang around here

I can't make any recommendations about cartos as I don't use them. I've used the Boge 2.0Ω cartos and they were nice, but really smooth...no TH.

I prefer Cisco atties and specifically the 306s from www.avidvaper.com. I've had good luck with his original ones AND the bridgeless ones too. Not a fan of the Aeros though. If you are looking to achieve better TH then I would suggest using 1.5Ω for your tobacco flavors and a 1.7 or higher for your sweet flavors.
*edit* I see his site is down for maint.
I sure hope this helps some.
