I guess the REO is really the best answer. once i get coil building down i'll get one with a reomizer topper. Then i suppose i can just redo the wicking daily and rebuild the coil every week or two or i've seen some say they only do it once a month.




well...i use a protank with a 2.0 coil mainly, sometimes 1.8 or 2.5.
I have this IGO but I still haven't done a lot of coil building, but I have a coil someone made me and i just got some cotton and wire. I love the taste but hate the fiddling and the IGO is messy too.

As adventurous as you are firephly, I just assumed that you already knew how to rebuild, lol. I replace the coil on my a7 anywheres froim 1 week to 1 month after I install it.. Depends on liquid, some will wreck your coil quick, lol. Bobas bounty is one. MBV cookie blaster will do it in fast. The darker the liquid the less coil life you'll get is the general rule. You will have no problems rebuilding, I'm sure:)
As far as a REO goes, I used to think it was stupid to pay this much, and look at all the things my zmax can do that a reo cant.. That was early on in my vaping experience and I hadnt a clue what I was talkin about yet, lol. Know that I've had some time to form an educated opinion(instead of goin for the one that looks the coolest or has all the different bells and whistles), I chose a reo because its solid, reliable, and doesnt oxidize my juice or need to be dripped every 5 puffs. Low maintenance, reliable, durable.

you and me both, i had some burly and candy from a trade but it was so mild to me traded it. i guess i'm the only weird one that got no flavor there and it makes me afraid to try others. but i have heard great things about them for so long.

Did you try it at 11.5 watts? Thats the sweet spot for it on a zmax. If you go tto low you cant taste the burley, too high you cant taste the candy...

It's hard to get some to understand that. I have a VV device and have used carto tanks on it. Tested the difference in the way juices taste different from dripping to tanks. Man there's no comparison imo. I guess most ppl have to find out for themselves. I know I will never use tanks again. I don't even like Kayfuns anymore.
Aint that the truth, lol. I found out the hard way myself several times, lol. No more tanks here either. no more VV for me except for testing every now and then. and thats only because I'm low on rda's right now. VV route is better for those who never intend to rebuild, mech is better for those that do rebuild, IMO. But almost everyone sees VV as the better option at first, it just seems logical at first, and most good mechs are very pricey

Nice stand. Looks like a marshall badge in the center, lol. I totally get havin a setup like that to taste new things. I tried carryin a bottle of juice and kamry w/ dripper, but they leak sometimes, and the caps come off a lot if you pocket them. All roads led to reo for me, lol. I fought it for a good six months too, I'm never one to buy into hype.

lavender - did you mod your Igo L , by drilling out the airhole or adding an extra airhole?

I absolutely love my Igo-L, I bought a w4 trying to move up and hated it I actually just traded it off for a different one that's dripper/tank. The deck looks just like an igo-L though so what does that tell you lol.

Thnx -- It's a Texas star not a marshalls badge. I haven't got a Reo yet. I wanted one until the Hanna clones came out. lol
I'm a clone-iac for sure. Can't see spending $300 for a mod. Any mod. Oh I know Reos are not that expensive but have some limitations to what I want. If I were going to spend that kind of money it would be for one of these babies!

cool, i'll send them over! I don't have queens choice yet but that will be on my next order. I haven't seen a lavender tobacco any where else but since liked the other ones so much i bet it's good.
have you tried mother's milk-suicide bunny? I hope 18mg nic is ok

Strong for me but it will give me an idea of the flavor

Ok so I ordered a 30 ml of Blueberry Vanilla Cake, 10 ml of Kona Coffee and asked for a sample of Lime Cream-have to see what happens with that. WHY I am even ordering with the amounts of e liquids I have is beyond me. However, since this is so good with a long steep, I may just hide if for a few months.

It will take a year of "heavy vaping " to use up what I've got as it is.......but, that never stopped me from ordering more!!:blink:

i've only built 4 coils so far, lol, I'm the kind of person who loses interest in something if i don't excel immediately, bad trait. but if i want that ultra experience i'm just gonna have to do it.

On the MVP w/protank if i go above 7watts everything tastes burnt.

It's pretty good, but it doesn't pack a punch like fifth rank does. I think you're really going to be wowed by that one! At any rate, with Lucena, I'm getting a lighter gentle peach. The rummy notes seem to be more dominant. Not really getting the hazelnut, which is good for me because I don't care for nutty vapes. My first reaction to this one was it may need a little steep. Don't get me wrong, I like it, unique flavor, but it didn't wow me like fifth rank. Probably not fair to compare, but after fifth rank I'm waiting for other five pawns flavors to smack me in the face, haha. I'm still on the fence with Lucena.

I wonder if steeping does much with them? Since the already come steeped a month even (according to the born on date on the ones i had)

well I sure hope you're right about Fifth Rank! Sounds so military doesn't it?

when i got my reo, i had never built a coil :X i tried rebuilding protank ones and failed miserably. the rm2 is super simple and easy to build.
i change my wick every time i change flavors, or every day or so. that's the part i like. is it as simple as popping out a protank coil and replacing it? no. but to me the vape is a million times better. but pulling out a little wick, dry burning and threading a new wick back in is that easy. :)

i have the belief that if *I* can rebuild them, anyone can :)

I'd be afraid something would go wrong eventually with all those features-that they might start to malfunction...do they have a warranty?
Too expensive for this girl anyway!

Good grief man, what does anyone need 100 watts for? Sounds unpleasant/borderline dangerous. But all my vv experience has been w mods limited to 15W, lol. Do you like vaping at extreme output? Like green sony's only type mods? I havent tried one. I understand these dna/hana type mods are for folks who like quad and octo coil builds who like to take the straight-to-lung hits..(not my thing at all, lol. I like to draw it like a cig but longer) Once again, I only know a little about those high output mods..
