Has the REO changed your e-liquid preferences?

Back in my pre-REO days, I used to drip some 12-15 flavors a day. Now my flavor preference is determined by whether I can vape 2-6 ml of it in without tiring of it. While I know you can drip with a REO, I've gotten spoiled by squonking. I have 3 REOs and can put different flavors in them, but not the same as just hitting a few drops from a bottle and moving on.

Now if I can't vape at least 2ml of a flavor, I don't bother with it. For me I've stopped ordering some of the fruits, special flavored tobaccos, and the odd dessert flavors. Watermelon is a good example. I find it refreshing as a change of pace taste sensation, but after about 1/2 ml I can't wait to finish the bottle. Is it done yet? I keep checking. As I vape through it I actually get sick of the flavor. Now I have to really, really love a flavor to order it.

Has your REO or other bottom feeder changed you e-liquid purchases? I'd love to know some flavors that others consider REO worthy.

I bought a bunch of the 3ml bottles and label them with a label maker, so switching when I'm tired of a juice isn't a problem, but I always have Boba's in one of my REOs. Others I love are AVE's Gorilla Juice, Blend 4, Caramel Kicker, Butterscotch, Strawberry Cooler and English Toffee. Also, TVR's English Toffee, BWB Vanilla Bean, and VB's Oba Oba.

I can say yes. I am still searching out my flavors but just by having a grand and a mini it has changed my outlook. At first I thought I would never be satisfied and would always be switching flavors. I have found however, one juice that is going in my grand. I will continue to use the mini to switch around other flavors, but having a reo has definitely helped me narrow down a routine.

I kinda started on a menthol tobacco flavor, and now, on occasion I'll mix a little bit of peach or pineapple into it, but for the most part, I only keep my menthol tobacco base. I also find that with the ease of use, I tend to vape more, so I lowered my nicotine content by ordering nicotine-less flavors to add to my base. Today, I must have been vaping around .6 nicotine all day, and still ended up getting a headache from it. The original goal was to cut down, eventually stop, but this thing gives me a throat hit at even low nicotine levels, so I might be able to get off nicotine sooner than i expected.

I find myself sticking with Mt. Dew and Pepsi clones for some reason. Occasionally I'll vape an english toffee, choconilla, or vanilla bean, but those flavors tend to give me heartburn/headache if I do more than 1ml. I'm guessing I'll stick with the pop flavors in the Reo until I find my personal daily vape flavor.

Probably because I quit drinking pop a month ago!

I tend to go with "condiment" flavors as a base: my main vapes are (alone or combined) cinnamon, lemon, and menthol. Then I like drink and fruit flavors, usually with one of the prior flavors mixed in (ie: apple cooler, black tea and lemon). I have discovered that I don't care for dessert or bakery vapes, no matter how accurate they are. I am still undecided about tobacco flavors.

Yes, I tend to stick to one flavor too, or mix these up: Bobba's Bounty, Flue Cured and Gorilla Juice from AVE
Or Cuban Cigar from Honeyville Vapor with some of the above. I do like Havana Gold in small quantities but it's too much of a cigar- the Cuban from Honeyville is less powerful and makes a good, morning wake-up blend. Oh, and I recently decreased from 24mg to 18 without any issues and without increasing my vaping!! Yeah!

I agree Dave. Yesterday was my first day trying HG. It's too much cigar for me. Quite acrid, an awesome cigar match, but just not right for me. I can see however why it would be so popular. It's a really good cigar match! However, thats strike two for AVE with me. I didn't like Boba's either. Something about vaping a whisky beer soaked sweat sock (Sorry BB lovers) didn't tickle my fancy. Gorilla is still waiting in the box to be tried. All tastes vary but I was surprised I don't favor AVE so far. Maybe it's the VG, as I really like about an 80% PG mix.

Give it some time Bogey- I didn't like AVE juices my first time either...also, it makes a difference in atty resistance. What might not taste good at 1.5ohms is really good at 2.0, etc. I'm currently vaping these at 1.8. I find that at 1.5, there is hardly any taste at all and at 2.0, they are too sweet. YMMV
