Want my advice? Gennies are a headache, skip that phase and go straight to reo's:) They dont brown your juice at all ever, every hit is fresh and clean. You already seem to be fond of box mods, it'll feel right at home in your hand.

Hahaha! She has a real purdy purple one!

Ahlusion or Plume Room, people? I want to make an order. Brett.. was it you that liked the Banana Mint Milkshake? Did you get that from Plume Room or somewhere else? Sounds good. I mainly like fruits and I am looking for a good coffee. Was eying up Peppermint Mocha by Ahlusion. Help me decide. Especially Lavender and the lady that vapes no nicotine... as I don't vape nicotine either.

As Brett already said...if you don't mind waiting on maybe a week steep (TPR) or sometimes up to 3 months steep (AHL). Although steep time is shortened if you get the express line from AHL. I'm going to try AHL again, but I PIFed a lot of the ones i got from them.

I saw lots of kudos for TPR's Burely and Candy, which I agree is good but I prefer their Candied Cavendish. Sooooo good!! If anyone likes GLVs ElKamino and AVEs Boba's , it similar but of course different.

I have yet to see anyone on ECF say they regretted their REO purchase

I really want to check a REO out bad but I had no idea it was a mech. Kinda nervous about using an unregulated. :oops: And I'm so confused on the different models and what a RM2 is that I heard I must get cuz it's better?? I check the classies a lot but I have no clue what I'm looking at and if it's a decent deal or what have you.

And is squonking hard to do? I got an Aurora tank awhile back...what a PITA!!!!! Flood, flood, dry hit, flood, dry hit. It was a nightmare. I'm just wondering how diff a REO is from a good Dripping atty like byLeo Dripper Pro.

I haven't tried it yet, but folks on the Ahlusion thread really are loving the Light French Roast, some like it sweetened (you have to ask) and some don't).

I love Kent's Blend sweetened. Light French Roast is on my list to try next.

And Tiramisu is also a coffee, and gets really strong with steeping.

Tpr is truly wonderful foob. No steeping needed and very flavorful. Angel sauce. Vanilla caramel cap, lemon chiffon, ginger snap, chai.

Allusions with the exception of the lime cream and pineapple cream have all needed steeping. I feel that ahlusiomd is not typically as flavorful as Tpr. Of course your taste buds may feel otherwise

I tried smooth criminal today. Subohm(.6 or .7). Tastes likea cognac cigar:) The tobacco flavor in this one is very similar to TPR toscano gold, just not as in your face with the cigar flavor, I think the cognac mellows it. TPR or AHL... Thats a toughie:) Id go with ahl myself, i stocked up on my tpr favorites, but only have 3 from AHL. I'm lovin both that I've tried , hope cherry wildwood is just as awesome:)

How long have you had the AHL? If you can make it last, save some Smooth Criminal to try at about six to eight weeks old. ;)

It was about 2 weeks after I got mine before I finally built it. Be careful mine does not like to be on its side at all. When I first used it I layed it down on my bed and came back to a big oily stain on my sheet.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a bad habit of laying mine on it's side. I'll try to make sure to keep it upright. I doubt I'll even get around to building it this week. Tonight is the last night I'll be at home this week and I know I have other things I need to get done, so it'll probably be next week before I get to it. Unless I take it to work with me and work on it while my boss is in court! :)

Squonking with a REO is NOTHING like an Aurora - which I had and HATED!

The RM2 is the rebuildable bottom fed atomizer that Reosmods sells. You don't HAVE to use a rebuildable atomizer, you can also use a carto or disposable atomizer - that's what the REO's were originally intended to use, prior to RBA's coming out on the market.

Squonking is simply pressing on the bottle to feed juice to the atomizer. With the RM2, any excess drains back into the bottle, so you don't have the flooding issue you and I had with the Aurora.

Being all mechanical scared me as well, but now that's all I use these days. I don't have anything regulated, and I like just building coils to my preferred resistance, rather than fiddling with VV/VW's.

My very first build was on my first REO's RM2. There are great videos to help you - you can even buy pre-made coils/wicks online if you're more comfortable with that. :)

Thank you for the info!!!!! So obviously the atty needs to be any kind of bottom feed atty in what, a 510 connection? Would you then describe it as like dripping but just not having to drop 2-3 drops but just squonk? I have the byLeo Dripper that I LOVE and does take more drops than a normal atty which is awesome.

So I'm thinking I'd really like a REO as long as it's not real fiddley if that makes sense. Well I guess as long as the topper isn't real fiddley.

Does anyone else find Figian Nights really thick and not clearo friendly? I love the taste but I find its temperamental in a clearo (that all of my other juices vape well in). I find it very thick with a tendency to give a "burnt taste" at higher voltage. Just me? Maybe it would do well in my Nautilus?

Hmm I only drip so I can't help you there. So for those of you who were saying you don't like coconut, I don't either. There's not too much of it in this juice or I would gag. It's really good. The vanilla and banana are what stand out to me. Teeny bit of coconut and pineapple maybe? I forget - I'm only on my first few sips of coffee ;)

Nicoticket short run, Jenna said only 4 liters. Get it while gettins good if you want it. Personally, I hate when vendors do the short run thing.

I think it sold out in 3 hrs, I'm surprised it lasted that long. Yeah idk why he's been doing that lately. There's another one coming out in a couple weeks but I'm not sure what it is. AngiBe - Frenilla will be released again next tues!

Yes girl just get a dang REO. Then you'll have both :) Trust me on this ;)

Here is a snapshot of my collection about a month ago. I've added some and sold/loaned out some but am too lazy tonight to take a new picture.

View attachment 326630

So I ended up getting Banana Mint Milkshake and the Burley & Candy that *someone* is always raving about : P I didn't see much else that I really felt I needed to try. Figured those two were a start.

ohh The Burley... you will not be sorry...so much plumage and mouthfuls of flavor...going to vape some now. I got a big bottle on the way

So in case I don't get a reo before or maybe even if I do. I need a good idea for a summer mod. We are busy in the summer so I want something that's not terribly delicate. I looked at a waterproof mod but that's $60 that could go to the reo fund. Should I just pick up an ego twist or 2 or a mech that's cheap like a bolt or Jamey. I don't want to spend much in case it falls out of my pocket during a barrel roll on a roller coaster or something lol...with me you just never know it could happen.

I hate fiddly. It's why I'm almost exclusively REOS.

YES, 510 connection, and it's bottom fed juice on demand dripping. Once you find your own squonking interval (depends on your coil resistance, how long you draw, etc) then every vape is like fresh dripped. I squonk every two to three draws but I take long draws.

I may try a small bottle of it, some coconut is ok when done right. Will need to wait until I'm ready for a banana again though. Loved TPR banana too much one week and want no more of it for awhile.

I don't like the short run stuff either. If I find and like something, I want to just order it without stalking some website hoping they bring it back.

Agreed on the REO! Worth it. I don't find it to require much fiddling at all. Built it once, dry burn and new wick once. That's it for a week. Never flooded and never dry hits.
