I really hate to provide this without prefacing the situation, I was 20 minutes late to the meeting, I ran a 1/2 mile to the city/county building, got through security and then ran 2 flights of stairs to room 260. I walk in, see capt.n.coke from the ECF and they ask if anyone has comments. We immediately line up and wait for our turn. Everybody motions for me to go before them except another ECF member(eSC) while I'm still trying to just catch my breath enough to even speak. I then notice four broadcast news cameras that had been obscured from my vision previous to this moment. My chest seized and I never regain my breath or composer until I finished speaking. I will post 2 different links so you can see the full footage as well as the WISHTV footage that really just had an excerpt of me and a following close up of my REO in hand. All of my family and friends thought I was getting emotional over quitting but really I was just trying to get a full breath and not pass out standing there. I never intended to be a public speaker and now you'll ALL know why. Oh Well! Here they are:

Short piece on WISHTV channel 8 (Better REO coverage) Electronic cigarettes could be included in latest Indianapolis smoking ban

Rules and Policy video “in toto” Channel 16 in Indy( I am not CRYING...:cry: :laugh: Oh and the last guy who spoke made us all cringe when he mentioned the Horse and said Councilwoman Hickman probably didn't flush public toilets because of the vapors :facepalm:) Rules & Public Policy Committee


Does that news channel have that video footage uploaded on their website? I'd love to see it. :)

OUTSTANDING for a non-public speaker! You got your points across! Don't know that I could have done that under pressure like that!

I thought you made a great presentation to the committee -- I couldn't snip pics because there was a big arrow on it when I paused it -- I loved that you hit on vaping in the workplace, how it doesn't affect your wife who has asthma, that other cessation products didn't work, that this "amazing technology" helped you quit your 35 year habit! BRAVO BREW!!!!!

yep, you will now need 18650s but there are other options for batts too. good thing is you will have superb battery life with the 18650s over the 14500s

Just ordered them, three, actually...don't wanna run out of anything...'cept maybe Buttbold juice:evil:

Nicely done, Brew!! I like to think I'd done as well after running up the stairs like that.

Burns me up that they still bring up that 2009 FDA report to paint these as dangerous somehow...

I just had a thought for you veterans.... these Reos are like "dripping", aren't they, where U just need a driptip attached to the atomizer, no cartridge/filler or cartomizers?
If so, I just blew some more money...I'm beginning to feel like Miss Moneybags...
I've never dripped, so I just assumed i'd need the usual paraphernalia :confused:

You can drip if you want to - but the bottle delivers the juice to the atomizer with a slight press or squonk as we say round here :)

Reply from loophead....what i meant was that I just put the "mouthpiece" on the end of the attie( not also putting juice on the attie bridge)

Exactly! The REO lets you get the goodness of dripping without the drip. Perfect flavour and vapour. I personally use atties (HH.357), but cartos work nicely too. It's one of those "personal preference" things..

o.k.....loopy here...why would one use a carto ( at least one that has filler in it) if it's not necessary?

i use attys myself but my wife uses cartos on her mini. cartos are cheaper and more forgiving if you forget to squonk as they hold more juice.

The filler in the carto will hang onto a lot of juice, so you can squonk a little less frequently. I don't generally like 'em (I think they affect the juice flavor), but they are really convenient for blind-sqounking - cartos don't flood out like atties do.

thank you, rustybikes, i thought i just wasted money on a 5-pk of Boge cartos...maybe i have...I'm trying to get away from the dam cart/carto setup..:glare:

And I'd also like, after all this time of vaping, to REALLY taste, not polyfil or blue flival,lol my juice

Hey guys, out of curiosity I checked out the REO site, and it seems EVERYTHING except the mini is out of stock. How they heck to you buy one of these things? It is annoying that they don't list the ones IN STOCK first...I went through pages and pages of the wood ones and NOT ONE available :(

Rob does his best to keep Mini's and Grands available perpetually, but sometimes demand gets ahead of his supply chain. The Wood mods are in high demand because they're worth it, but take much more time and labor to produce.

I'd suggest you subscribe to this thread to keep up on which mods are going to be available and when.

This thread addresses the HOW part of buying a Reo.

This thread addresses the accessories you'll need to use your Reo, if you're new to the world of mods.

This thread is a compilation of tons of useful information.

And as always, feel free to post any questions in the lounge thread or start a thread of your own.
