Deference between bottom feed mod or a carts tank?

[tj99959]

Got me interested in the reo mods now. But curious, how do they do with a drained batt? How much does performance drop off as the batt drains? One thing I love about the mod I use now is that voltage stays consistent until the battery is dead. How do these do?

With a Li Ion battery you will notice the drop off a lot. With a LiMn (IMR) battery you really won't notice the drop off until you should have already swapped out the battery anyway.
Drop off was more of a problem with the 14500 Mini because of the size of the battery. The V2 Mini with the 18490 battery hangs in pretty well.

And best enjoyed with an rba.

Do you mean like you don’t have to drip in to the drip tip on any RBA?

No dripping, you just squeeze the juice up into it.
Bottomfed RBA made for Reo, like the one on mine:

Works fantastically and building the wick and coil is really easy.

No, the juice is contained within the reo. You just 'squonk' to fill.

You can use an atty, a RBA, a carto, even a shorty carto.

Nice picture!

A lot of RBA's have a sealed connector, they don't work. RBA's like the Pegases A7 work well.

A7 on my V2 Mini

It’s getting better by the hour!
It’s a pity that I cont tray it out only buy it. 194$ is a lot !
but it looks like it solves the constantly dripping annoying in public places.

You could always get a less expensive bottom feeder to see if you like bottom feeders. Rob has blemished reo's on his website. If you get verified, there are sometimes Reo's in the classifieds. They hold their value pretty well though so you won't get a huge deal.

It feels like vaping is more like eating or wine collecting then smoking. Will have to start some were, keep busy
and playing to keep out of smoking .any way in a long run its cheaper and more fun than the occasional 5min breaks.

I'd rather wrap my lips around something box shaped than something that looks like a dildo.

Very sleek and elegant.

WoW you guys are great !!!
But is the price difference on REO justified? its almost double the price of VMOD XL

It's more than justified. The VV is a solid construction that uses the Buzzpro electronics. The vape remains consistant while the battery drains. The fixed voltage Grands are nearly indestructible and completely washable to boot. The REO subforum here is very active and has many long term REO owners who will be more than happy to help you through the learning curve and help you troubleshoot any problems that arise. Should something come up that you can't fix at home, pop it in a box and mail it back to Rob. He'll fix it cheaply and quickly and have it back to you in no time.

If you're leaning toward a REO, get the VV. Battery drop-off is a PITA if you favor a certain heat. "The Kick" is a variable wattage drop-in which requires slight scuffing of the anodized surface inside the REO to get a good negative contact. It's finicky, tho. The Kick can be used in a regular REO Grand or the VMod XL. While the REO is more durable and designed/built in the USA, the VMod XL is not a bad bottomfeeder. It requires a tip to feed system, so there's less chance of leaking. It has a slightly different feed system. It can also accomodate a Kick with some slight modification. My opinion is that the VMod XL is more comfortable to hold, is more pocket friendly and less likely to have the connector threads damaged by lateral force in a pocket. They both have merits. The REO has a more vocal following. I have nothing bad to say about the REO.

Variable Wattage mods and circuits read the resistance of your atty/carto and draws amps from a high-drain battery in order to boost voltage to attain the heat or watts that you have it set at. Basically VV without having to understand how ohms relate to watts and voltage.

With a Kick you sacrifice battery run-time as it requires a reduction in battery size from 18650 to 18500. As it draws amps to create the voltage for the watts it eats the smaller capacity 18500s in about 5-8hrs on average by my account.
