Everything I needed to learn about REOs, I've learned from you guys!

Well I got the RBA in for the Woodville VV the other day. Built a coilt last night and wicked it up. Let it soak for a while. Started vaping and it was the worse vape I ever had. So, I changed out the wick, thinking that could be the problem. This time I let it soak longer, but had the same result. It was getting late and I was frustrated to the point of hating the Woodie. Got home today and started reading, I read your stuff all the time! So it was time to start troubleshooting! Took the cap off and juice was coming into the unit. Changed the wick again just for GP. Still got that awful burnt flavor. That's what's great about these units; it will turn out to be something simple. When I put the door back on and squanked, I didn't hear a sound. Now I know the sound is not mandatory, but it is a definite indication of juice flow. Then I looked at the wick, it was burnt and dry. I had a juice flow problem! I remember reading about cutting the V in the tube, so I did. Rebuilt the wick and made sure I had the squanking down pat. Some bottles squank different from others! Well guys, it works great; and it's all because of you guys! Thanks, you guys are the ultimate support team! Just think, an hour ago, I was looking for packing material to send the unit to Rob!

Reos are pretty easy to fix and there's tons of info here from a lot of people that have been using them for years. God knows, if i cannot wreck one that i use daily in a month (it has been 7 times that already and still going great) - it's hard to do!

I reckon when it's time in my FDA zombie apocalypse video to give the leading lady a hug and tell her that it'll be ok - i might just sneak off for a beer, recoil a Reo and have a little vape!

I'm new to this, too. This is the first I'm hearing of the "V in the tube" trick.

We are very lucky to have found this fabulous bunch of guys and gals!

i am not allowed sharp knives to cut 'v's or angles - i just ram a pin right thru the tube as close to the bottom as i can!

If my wife had any idea how i drive she might be a little less concerned!

Brilliant, SuperTrunker. I never thought of that!

Yep, I learned everything I know from this helpful bunch myself. I think of y'all as my support group. If not for the REOsmods forum and its occupants, I'd have no one to talk vape with.

Thanks to Rob for shelling out portions of his take to provide us with this home

I love reoville because of the devout and friendly reonauts. I dont see no egoville. This is truly a great experience. Having people that know what your doing wrong. But dont judge you for not knowing. They just help out and mak3 life easier. Like the mods we use, the community is just as essential.
