I believe (REO win)

[Papa_Lazarou]

My new (and first) REO Grand arrived yesterday.

I call it "Duran"...


She's a stayed girl, I know - not too flashy, but with a build that turns heads.

Now, as a backstory, I have issues with flavour. My palette is quite dull. The subtly of clearos are lost on me, and even dripping is hit or miss. Pluid in a carto, for me, is a nice faint vape.

So it was with some trepidation that I twisted my first coil on Duran, filled her with some green fairy and had my first - my hallowed first - toot. No taste. Nice (not great) vapor. No taste. Air has more taste.

A couple of coil adjustments later, I had better vaper and some slight flavour. Well, I was gutted.

Went to bed, woke up this morning and decided to either kick the little lady for more power or twist a new, lower ohm coil. I went with the latter - down to .7 ohm from 1.5 (single micro with cotton).

Bazinga - mouth full of flavour and more vapor than RIP Trippers' best day!

I sit here looking at her, amazed. I'm a believer. Where should I have the tattoo placed?

Papa, welcome to Reoville. Here's your new badge. Wear it proudly.

I like that basic black look. Goes with anything.

[CreepyLady]

She is one classy gal! Congrats

Nice! The badge will be worn openly to distract onlookers from the strange grin on my face.

And yeah, what's a women without something black to wear?

So when are you ordering Duran No. 2?

Love it! The build definitely can make or break the Reo-experience, can't it?

Heh - I'm actually looking at reosmods.com while enjoying a nice vape. Makes perfect sense that I should get a mini to pair her with, no? Then I'd have Duran Duran.

Apparently all the difference in the world. I was so worried about last night's tepid vape.

As I recall, congrats to you, too, and joining the cult... er, club.

On a mechanical mod, coils and airflow is everything. Make sure you have good batteries.

Follow the video on cleaning it and it's unbreakable - a few of us have tried.

If you do run into a problem, there is a wealth of information here and Rob is very fast on the uptake too to make sure it's taken care of and normal service is resumed.

I never did get the decoder ring or badge - must have been out of town that weekend.

Yes I am (got the siggy and badge to prove it, lol). Already have a thumb blister facepalm: Oh why didn't I buy the button cover?), but asmall price to pay for vape bliss. So, are our Reo's twins, since they were "delivered" on the same day? I call mine Vito (One of the rare, male Reos out there).

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Congratulations, Papa! Nice classic look.

Ya...it takes a bit of experimenting to find what works for each person....and it's different for all of us. That's the beauty of a Reo.

Indeed - twins from the same whelping box. You must have gone through dozens to find a male.

second reos...already.. if its a mini, will it feel like you and her had baby?

Hypatia, the button covers ARE nice, but if you're serious about it hurting your thumb, then you may be pushing the button too hard. Next hit, hold it up to your ear and fire it. When you hear the sizzle, you're good to go. It takes a very light touch to fire it. Congrats on getting yours....aren't they just great???!!??!!

 

[supertrunker]

i disagree with the button cover - they look nice, yes, but they led me to sloppiness and button mashing. Unless they are well positioned then they can slide and your next post will be "my Reo is not firing".

I have a (naturally) lazy style of vaping mine - left handed, where i just flop my left index finger over the button and press the button with the middle joint of my finger. It looks like i am throttling something but it means i can type and drink beer with the other hand.

win win.

Yep, I was mashing that sucker down. Karen kindly PM'd me the same advice. Voila! Pain-free vaping! PSA to all the other new Reo owners--your Reo may be a tank, but he (she) likes a light touch on the trigger.

 

[Matthee]

Thrilled the Reo solved those dulled taste buds. Enjoy

Coincidence? I think not.
