Help with bottom feeder please

[harleybluz]

I just got a Reo and never had a bottom feeder before. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I seem to either have too much juice and get a mouthful, yuk, or too little and burn the batting in atty. I am not a heavy vapor and after I take my 3 hits off this I "slowly" squeeze the bottle until I just start to see a little juice come through and let it sit until my next hit off it (approx 15 minutes later). Not alot just a little. It either gurgles, or it's not putting out any vapro. When I get it working right, I absolutely love it. Can someone please give me directions on how to use this the proper way?
Thank you very much,
Harleybluz

You are probably juicing it too much and it's flooded. Take the atty off, blow it out, wipe off the overflow well. Now, just gently squeeze for a couple of seconds until you begin to see juice in the little holes in the overflow well, release. It is ready for vaping.

Hi Harleybluz
I also have a Reo Woodvil. =) Ok, when your feeder bottle is full you barely have to squeeze the bottle, (squonk) think of it like you're dripping. 2 drops. If you flood the atty it will gurgle, just take it off and blow the excess fluid out like ur tail-piping it then put it back on and just barely squonk it again. before you take a real toot, toot it unlit first, like a real quick, sharp lil suck to pull the juice thru the wick but not too much that your sucking juice into your mouth, which happens sometimes anyway. There's a lil bit of a learning curve with each individual. You will find your 'sweet spot' with your Reo and never want to put it back down again. If you still find you're having issues using an atomizer you can use a cartomizer instead. I do both.

Should I do this evertime I finish vaping or should I wait until it gives off little smoke/vapor? Sorry but just trying to enjoy something so expensive. lol

Hi harleybluz. Good name!

When it gurgles, that's a sign that it's flooded. I would not squeeze the bottle until you are ready to hit it. I don't know how a Reo is set up, but can you see the drops going into the atomizer? You don't want more than a couple drops at a time in there, so maybe you are squeezing a little too much at a time.

Hopefully, a Reo owner will see this and be able to give you a little more help.

I must type really really slow. There were no replies when I started typing.

Actually, you should vape most of the juice when you squeeze it. If you let the atty regularly sit with lots of juice in it, it will clog up.

I, personally, squonk and then toot it til I start to barely taste metal, then squonk it again.

You are not looking for drops in the atomizer, just look for a little liquid to peek through the holes in the catch cup/overflow well.

You shouldn't need to blow out the atty every time you finish. It just takes a little practice to get the right amount of juice in there. It's a like dripping...just a couple of drops will do. Vape until the vapor production starts dropping off and the flavor starts to change, then gently squeeze just a couple more drops in there.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! You guys are the best at getting replies out to us who need help fast. I will do as suggested and I WILL learn how to find that sweet spot. I knew they'd be a learning curve to it but have no one to talk to about it who vapes. Again YOU ARE THE BEST.

I re-read your first post. Most of your problem is juicing before you put it aside.

YW Harleybluz, hope we helped a lil bit. Gotta love ECF! So what kinda Reo did you get? I got a purpleheart/purpleheart Woodvil and I love this thing. I took it to Austin with me on a trip to visit my daughter and 1 bottle of juice lasted me 4 1/2 days and that is even with vaping in the car all the way there and back. I only had to change out the battery twice. 2 days in then the night b4 we left. While in Austin, the Reo swelled almost completely shut. The humidity and heat, I guess. For a whole 2 days I could not slide the door on it then the humidity and temperature dropped and I was able to open it again. It was crazy.

It takes a little practice and getting use to. You'll see eventually how easy it becomes. Not sure of the required post count to visit the REO forum family...which btw you are now one but when you can come join us here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/95123-reo-grand-opening-sale-8073.html where you'll be welcomed and help with every question/need.

With my Woodvil, Walnut,Walnut when the bottle is full to about 3/4, I just have to draw on the atty without pushing the button and I get enough juice in the atty without squeezing the bottle.

Bonbon,
I got the jatoba/purpleheart 510 and it's truly beautiful. I love it. I can see where the door would swell shut on your. Texas is so humid. Believe me I know, I have curly hair and lived there for 3 yrs. Talk about the bride of Franenstein. lol I'm glad you love yours too. The battery last forever and I don't go through as much juice as I do with my 510 e-cig. And yes (!) you all helpled tremendously. I needed someone who "knows" the ins and outs of these things since I don't know anyone who has a pv. Thanks so much and enjoy yours. I know I'll enjoy mine.
