Hi Guys and Gals

I just got my Reo Grand yesterday and I can not really figure out the correct way to feed it. What I don't understand is squanking. When you squeeze the tube you push the juice up the tube but air isnt allowed to replace the liquid so you can keep on forcing the liquid up the tube and I couldn't get it to work. What I ended up doing was squeezing the bottle while I sucked air up from my drip tip. It works but I have gotten juice in my mouth a couple of times. Now I watch the cup for juice or I try to hear some gurgling noise to tip me off that I have got my atty juiced. Is this how it is done or is rhere a better way. I really love this mod. No more freaken dripping. Thanks for any help I might receive.

:confused:

It just takes a little time to get your rhythm down. At first look down at your juice well as you suoink and when you see the first glistening beads of juice you're good to go. If you're using a cartomizer you can suoink to your hearts content and the carto will absorb most of the juice. If you over squoink when you take your first toot or two it will either go into your atty or carto or back down your tube a bit. It really is just about finding the way that works for you through trial and error.

Well, you have just figured out one of the ways that I would have suggested. I believe your only flaw was that you took to hard of a hit. A "blind squonk" which will involve you taking a light draw without pushing on the button and also lightly squeezing the bottle at the same time. At the first sign of either resistance or a gurgle.

Immediately stop and you will be able to vape it. Might also help if you give it another sharp draw to make sure it soaks your atomizer correctly. It does take a TINY amount of practice but once you have done it a few times. You'll be golden.

This method is going to help you out a lot when your either driving or another activity that requires you to focus on that rather than looking to see if you have a slight amount of juice coming up when you squeeze the bottle. Honestly, I have never liked the regular method because it simply doesn't work for me.

Hope that helps.

yeh, my draw with cartomizers is normally pretty strong... too strong for a blind squonk. usually with cartos I keep my eye on the juice well when I can with cartos, but with my 306 atty's it is all blind squonking for me. You'll get the hang of it. I would advise not over squonking on a carto because the filler swells to pinch the tube, then inhibiting the cartos draw. GOOD LUCK AND WELCOME TO REOVILLE!!!! Happy squonking :D

Thanks to all of you for your help. The slow draw as your squeezing the bottle until you hear a slight gurgle works like a charm.I was doing this before but I always flooded the atty. Now as soon as I hear a gurgle I quit and it's perfect. I have apologized to my Reo and I take back all the bad things I said about him. My Reo has accepted my apology. :)->

LOL, you will find that REOs are forgiving sorts! Welcome new REOnaut (and fellow Kentuckian)!! :)
