My first IBM - built like a tank, XT motherboard, wonderful keyboard!

ibm5155.jpg

my first ibm as well.

this is the one that finally convinced me to stop building my own computers and to finally realize that my 8 inch floppies were unlikely to make a dramatic comeback :)

^Awesome stuff! I still remember my first PC back in 1998. What a tank, good ol' memories. :D

I've been messing with dripping attys. I bought 2 cisco attys, one bridgeless 1.5 ohms and a regular one 2.5 ohms. Apparently, I get more flavor, vapor and throat hit out of the bridgeless attys. I went to an Ohms calculator, to find out at what voltage I had to set the 2.5 ohm atty to produce the same watts as the bridgeless 1.5 ohm one. The results? Trying to vape the 2.5 ohm atty producing 10 watts would almost always produce a burnt taste. I had to lower it to 4.3 volts. It had decent vape, good flavor and TH but lacking compared to the other one which didn't get a burnt taste unless I took a really long drag.

To be fair I should've bought 2 2.5 ohms attys, one bridgeless and one regular. That would have given me specific results, because now I don't know whether it's the bridge or the resistance what is making one vape a lot better. My guess would be that the resistance matters the most and the bridge influences just a little. Odd though, since I literally vaped both attys at the same power (10 watts), the performance is worlds apart.

So what's your preferences? LR, SR, bridgeless, etc in terms of dripping attys (not RBAs)

Well, so far I've gotten the ohm/volts meter and the battery/charger. That big bad boy REO is on its way. I'd say most likely it'll get here on Saturday which would be nice because I'll be at home. But it could also surprise me tomorrow.

P.S: I don't check the tracking status 100 times a day. Not at all *cough*

Today the sun shined stronger than usual, pointing to the distant land of Reoville. A hint, perhaps?

I get ready to go to work when I see a letter under the door, from RVPS (<-:D). It said the three magic words that every Reonaut in training awaits:

"It is with great pleasure that we inform you that your key to the grand gates of Reoville is...
*OUT FOR DELIVERY* "

That right there, is persuasion at its finest. LOL

I managed to make it home, although I only got like 45 minutes, hopefully the mail will be here in that time frame. Fingers crossed!

PS: Add another one to Florida :D!

I have a REO Grand and a DNA20 bogger box. I can tell you that there is no room in the Reo for a DNA chip. OTOH, my wife has a VVG. The Reo has an area that is set aside for the chip and other electronics. The chip that is in the VVG can be replaced with a DNA chip. You would need to use a different cover for the electronics bay so you could see the display of the DNA. The size of the bb and the VVG are about the same, so there should be room in it.

Even if you could mod the Grand to add the chip, the firing pin setup on the Grand would not work well with that mod. You would (more than likely) end up using a different battery, which is one of the selling points of the Grand (IMHO).

So, bottom line, if you want to mod a Reo to add the DNA chip, I would suggest that you use the VVG as your base model, rather than the standard Grand.

Wonder about a VVW. :laugh:

Road I Land
I recently became the proud owner of a Mini 2.1 and one thing that has intrigued me is how "pocket friendly" it is. I work full time as a Federal Technician and I am in ACUs all day and I can hardly notice it in my right pocket. I own a variety of Mech Mods (Currently collecting dust) which felt like a roll of quarters and they are just generally uncomfortable to me.

When I put my REO down on the table I know it's going to stay there. I can't tell you how many tube based mods I have knocked over/dropped just by looking at them the wrong way.

There is a beauty to simplicity, ease of use and low maintainence I have come to love about this little box in the short time we have had together and it reassures me every time I use it that it is the best vape purchase I have made.

So pull out the lawn chair, lean back and vape on. Welcome to the neighborhood.

False alarm! The package I got was the one with the cartomizers. Kinda odd since it was First Class Mail and the REO is Priority Mail. But that's USPS, no surprises lol.

I was assuming they would arrive together since USPS did that before, I ordered twice from the same vendor, one Express Mail and one First-Class Mail and they arrived together. Actually the tracking information for the REO Grand order hasn't updated at all, it's still stuck at "Received Electronic Info". I didn't even bother going to the P.O. because they'd tell me that the shipper has not shipped it yet, just printed the label (and, to be honest, as far as they are concerned, that's all there is to it) Most likely (hopefully), since it's Priority Mail, tonight it'll update completely and it'll be here tomorrow. Fingers triple-crossed!

Don't let my calm attitude trick you, I'm screaming inside LOL. I was so convinced I'd have today in my hands that piece of mechanical beauty, and when I checked the mail and see only the cartomizers, what a slap to the face :D.

On the bright side, the more they delay it, the more I'm going to enjoy it once I finally have it. I don't know about thunderstorms, but I predict a room full of clouds for that day. It'll rain PG/VG I tell you!

PS: This is all your fault, my dear soon to be neighbors. Why must you make me want to have a REO so bad?!
