i get that way too. i look at my juices and im like BLAH I DON"T WANNA VAPE ANY OF YOU. even though i have a handful of super favorite juices, i just get in a juice funk, and will litereally sit here at my computer staring at my shelf full of juice. i find myself in the shower thinking waht juice i should put in my empty reo lol

yeah juices did taste different in my reos, but to me they tasted better/different. i also never liked warm vapes, and now that i'm vaping around 1.2-1.3 they are much warmer, and i like it. honey pearry warmed up is sooo good.

Ive always preferred cooler vapes, I use a super long drip tip, hated the vape on a genny etc. What changed for you. Idk what the deal is with the REO, idk if its a learning curve on the mech aspect or what. I really think that's what it is I need to find like a fruity sweet spot and a Tobacco sweet spot, Im just recently getting into the really creamier stuff so I don't even know my regulated sweet spot so no idea for the mech. I keep saying I am going to just get a regular mech and another dripper that that may help me. I don't want to not enjoy my juices all summer even on a REO, yes I bought it for convenience its A number 1 purpose is for outdoor activites etc with the kids this summer because its convenient and tough, if anything happens to it internally all the parts are very easily and cheaply replaced. Fore example today my last bit of Angel Sauce is what I took to graduation (it was outside so we vaped cops didn't say anything so I guess it was ok?) and it tasted like just warm fruit. I typically run my coils at around 1.8 ohms and fruits about 7.5-8w and tobaccos etc at 9w so when I looked at the charts it looked like using the same coil I usually do would put me in that ball part. I guess its gonna be more exacting that I expected. I also tried micro coil on it, ive never had much success with micro coils in general but since this thing is so tiny I guess I thought it had to be a micro, finally gave up and just did the exact coil I do everyday......fruits really never come off right in it and tobaccos usually do kinda. I know it sounds crazy but the fact that this atty is so small have something to do with it or that I have a bigger airhole drilled into my others. I like an airier draw but its drawing fine and I don't want to make a mistake and have to replace my rm@ it its expensive!

So how is everyone tonight?

got the vape meh's and have for a few days, haven't even bought anything from any of these sales. I put a post out asking what others bought hoping for some ideas but I didn't get much of a response. People out having real lives, I am currently chained to my desk and no bs I think I brought 20 flavors with me tonight. I filled my usual little box up then started shoving bottles in the pockets lol. Maybe I do have a problem, all that for 10 hours

Good good. I need to go to bed but I'm rubbing the hubs feet and watching Full Metal Jacket. I was posting a lot earlier but decided to give them a break

I love that movie, I always (joking of course) threaten to beat my boys with soap in socks. They have no idea where it comes from but they are used to their crazy mama

Hahaha. We're way past the romantic movie stage. I rub his feet - I watch what I want. Those are the conditions.

Hey whatever it takes to get the remote right!!! lol

Nice to meet you btw! Welcome to the vape family:vapor:

Sorry to hear about the mehs. I'm awaiting trade vapemail, so at the moment I'm in the same boat kinda, just vaping my "I'll vape it, but I don't have to like it" stash. The incoming should be pretty good though.

And on the coil thing. Wouldn't a higher resistance coil make a cooler vape for you? sure seems that way for the ones I play around with.

yeah Im just not used to having it for more than a random day here and there its been days now. I have some stuff coming but not much. I went ahead and placed an Ahlusion order but didn't get much. couldn't pass up 20% off though I even picked up a sample for the hubby since he has decided he doesn't like Ahlusion to show him that he just made a mistake on his first order, I really believe that's all it is. Yes of course a higher resistance would and that's my next move is to try again but I really don't have time for equipment that every new juice I put in I am going to have to play with the coil to get it right, that's gonna get redundant real quick. I can be ok with 2 different coils but not every single time.

and for what it's worth, coming from a newbie like me, my 3 wire twisted 32g micro coil seems to give awesome fruit

Well I have never had a lot of luck with fruits so I am not happy that the few I like taste like crap on this thing! I really thought I would crave the fruits more since they are lighter and its getting hot. Some days that's true but not really the case so far. It just started getting hot here recently though.

Thank you. :). I usually stick with the ProVape peeps (although I'm no Provari elitist) but I have some awesome friends on here so I'm venturing out. Fun group. :D

Well heres to branching out. Its a great group we have hear. They get to arguing here and there but its because we are all passionate people and most pretty darn strong willed. That's also what makes these guys really great. I think most would agree we have kinda become a vape family but we welcome new members just like any family!! Glad you strolled in, seems like many know you already so you must be good people!

I have one that has been drilled bigger. I didn't know that when I bought it. I don't like it but I've never liked how airy all my drippers are so it's probably just me. Anyway, point is, when I asked about it on thee REO forum, they told me you can buy just the top from Rob but you have to send him the base to have the hole put in the right place. Just in case you do drill yours bigger and don't like it. It's less expensive than a whole new REO.

I do think this is why I don't use my pink and white one much, though.

I bought Chronos by Omega. I thought I posted that but maybe it was on the other thread. Might want to check out the sale at Elevated.

Welcome. I have a Provari and they haven't kicked me out of here. You're safe :laugh:

Ranger -- I spend more on e-liquid now than I did on cigarettes. I could buy $200 worth easy. I really need to start buying JUST what I need. I can't help it though. lol

Spending more on gear & juice appears to be the norm, but $700 in 3 months is more than excessive. :shock:
(I used to spend about $60 a month on cigs.)

I just ain't got that kinda loot and can't be rackin' up more debt. Hell, I coulda taken a trip! ;)

I saw the sale at Elevated it was one of the only ones that I was like well, maybe. I did pickup some Ahlusion though but I think all but 1 where reorders. I wanted to check out one cant remember now but I believe it ends at midnight and I need some time to look around.
its too late to get too many opinions but has anybody tried anything that I may have not heard of that knocked your socks of recently?....anybody? lol

I have a trade I thought was mostly set haven't heard from the person but they also haven't been on so Im not being ignored. I had someone else ask for one of the flavors they want so now Im trying to figure out what to do. I also was looking at my drawers and was about to put a bunch more stuff on the trade list but decided not to do it while I have the vape blahs. Gotta come up with a word for it like I did my vspot, I think everyone knew exactly what I meant with that. You know when you sit down with a vape and its so good that for a minute everything is right in the world and/ or you close your eyes and just enjoy....yep its hittin the vspot

Some guy at a vape shop drilled my lid to my IGOw to bog. I put a cut piece of duct tape over 90% of the hole. I hear you can use JB weld but I need one of those vape fairies (assistants) that would fix it for me. That would be the same vape fairy that came every night and built me a few coils. I am getting better at it and have mastered the micro now. Never did like using my torch but I just hold it over a candle with a pair of really long tweezers

I have one that has been drilled bigger. I didn't know that when I bought it. I don't like it but I've never liked how airy all my drippers are so it's probably just me.

Is that the first 3 months? lol because I think everyone goes a little crazy then. Otherwise I think we all go a little nuts when we can afford to. I have had a pretty strict vape budget for awhile now due to cutbacks at work. No more $100 orders that's for sure. The money I got cut took away every bit of extra money I had so now (unless I have extra for whatever reason) Im only allowed to spend what I did smoking and I try to spend less and lately have been. I also try to catch the sales and pick up juice when its around 50c per ml and under for the premium ones I buy. Unfortunately there are a few I love that don't really do sales Nicoticket and Alice in Vapeland come to mind. I never ordered from NT until a couple weeks ago because I kept waiting for a sale lol
