Hey, no worries about the change of subject. Any information is grist for the mill: I asked for opinions on the Rev, and a popular one seems to be to try it out, because what's $40 in the long run, and then get a Reo if I like bottom-feeding. I like the idea of it, but right now don't have an experienced enough palate to be able to commit to 10 (or even 6, as that seems to be the Reo's capacity) ml of one juice over a long period of time.

Perhaps once I've settled into a palette of a few flavours I know I can appreciate over a long period without tiring of them, I'll give 'er a shot.

It's all an adventure, and I'm enjoying every step I've taken so far. Well, except perhaps putting a 24mg juice in an LR carto. That hit me like a ton of rectangular building things. (Any other Pratchett fans here?) I'm gonna have to use up my 24mg juices in my regular eGo atties, 'cos that's the only way I'm gonna be able to enjoy them without getting all woozy.

That's why I'm solving my similar dilemma by shooting for 1 device per flavour :)
Seems to be heading in that direction naturally for me in any event.

Made the same mistake with high nic levels in my first order. I'm watering them down with compatible lower nic juices I got in my 2nd order. Works well. Only need to repair 2 more drywall holes from bouncing off the walls, and I'm done.

As I recall the Revolution V2 has a 6ml capacity too. With either device, You can alway switch bottles. If you want to switch flavors that often though, forget about bottom feeders and just drip. Personally, I'm still in favor of splitting the difference on the price and going with a Vmod XL. Get an old goat mod for $25, if you just want to dip your toe in the bottom feeding pool. I think it's better than the Revolution.

(snip!)<----- Whoa. Usenet flashbacks.

I don't necessarily want to switch that often, it's just that I'm still quite new to the whole experience and still have that sort of kid-in-the-candy-store mentality, I guess. I'm sure I'll settle into a particular flavour footprint (flavourprint?) at some point, but right now everything looks so darn appealing.

Old Goat mods, you say? I'll have to check them out. Sounds perfect for my needs at this point.

I bought a Boge Revolution 2.1 less then a month ago from www.CANVAPE.com as I noted you were in Canada for $38.95. Its alright as for what you pay but used maybe 2 bottles and then stopped using it its messy and I think I developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from constanly squeezing the bottle (I'm kidding but you get the point). I used 70/30 blend juice and that was not at all that easy can't imagine squezzing 100% VG through that little needle (i think at one point I was turning it upside down as I too was using Kanger Horizontal Cartos, I also used smoktech ego mega dual carto which made it look like a walkie talkie lol). Also why the 510-510 adapter cartos seem to fit just fine (I did use a ego-510 for the ego mega carto though). So if you are looking for inexpensive bottom feed sure why not but after checking out the others I would go with the REO Grand and VMod XL simply because of material used to make them and the ability to replace the batteries and other parts if needed. Plus using an 18650 battery depending on what you get an IMR up to 2250mAHs protected 3100 mAHs if they can take them will last longer then the 1400 mAH battery in the Revolution and most importantly you can change the battery which in the Boge Revolution you can not (Also if you go the REO or VMod route make sure to have 2 batteries). Yes they are more expensive and I'm not sure if anyone in Canada sells them (which means dealing with customs and duties) but they are better built. I bought mine (Revolution) as an impulse thing to try and it got what attention most of my impulse Vape gear gets then I place it aside. So do your research then buy what you feel fits your needs and budget not how it fits other peoples needs or budget. Good luck

Usenet!!!! Don't tell me you were on the web before there were web browsers too.

Here's a link for that old goat. Not the best but, for the price, they are highly regarded.

Actually the Revolution is a point and shoot bottom feeder. It won't feed right unless it's upside down.

just a tip: the vmod xl is supplied through happyvaper, which is a canadian retailer. it's more expensive (especially in comparison to the discount offered by the vapage coupon codes), but if you're concerned with customs/keeping money in the canadian economy it's another option to consider.
i also have to pipe in and say that the vmod xl is made of plastic and metal. if pottery can survive millenia then your vmod xl may also be considered for restoration a mere 150 years from now too. :p
/devil's advocate. i just don't see why a vmod xl wouldn't last as long as a reo, or take as much abuse.
