What your missing is:

Dripping directly on an atomizer coil gives the best flavor and vapor vs. a tank and or carto setup.
Dripping on a regular atomizer can be a pain to carry the bottle and do 3 drips every few hits.

The Reo solves both problems. The flavor and performance of dripping without the hassle.
Perfectly wet coils without the flooding, leaking or dry hits problems of a tank.

Press the bottle, coat the coil and wick in juice, release the bottle and all excess juice returns.

Then add in it's the toughest mod out there, drop it, kick it, throw it, dunk in a hot tub, drop off a motorcycle doing 45. Wash in the sink it just keeps working.

Full rebuild kit for anything that could go wrong, spring, firing pin, button, feed tube center pin and gaskets cost $25 dollars.

Stellar customer service and presence from the mod maker himself and of course this great group of crazies we call Reoville to help.

The biggest mistake I see people make when they first try making coils is not practicing, They make a coil and try to vape it for a few days and try to make another one, this really drags out the learning curve.

Kathal wire is cheap. Make coil after coil, ohm them and toss until you get consistent, should take at most an hour or two and waste what $1 or 2 of wire to make 10 to 20 coils. you can become a pro in an afternoon, just practice it.

It's fun you might become addicted to making coils.

Given all of the expensive generics of the real thing that leaks & has to be replaced often, if one were to master this, it could be a very profitable hobby.

Because quality coils are hard to find locally.

Once you get into RBAs and making it coils it so easy you won't pay for it. Plus everyone has a slight variation to their personal preference. I have different coils I use regularly depending on the RBA and the juice I'm vaping. It's just so easy to dial it in to perfection when you start building them yourself.

I don't pay $3 for a coil now,

I'm amazed that you ever paid three bucks for a coil. I buy them in bulk for sixty cents. The cheapness is one of several reasons why I never saw much percentage in making my own.

They're only that cheap if you buy in bulk, of course. I picked up 200 last time. I generally change coils every 2-3 days -- since they're so cheap, why not? It beats all the screwing around with vinegar soaks and dry-burning and re-wicking and all that other stuff which is supposed to restore them to like-new but never actually does.

Well . . . I am definitely starting to outgrow the Kanger set, but the REO is a big investment and seems to appeal to a pretty DIY crowd. If the REO does take any 510 coil, could I just keep using the El Cheapo Kanger coils? I don't see any reason why not, but there must be some reason why nobody else is doing it that way.

Maybe I should just hire one of you folks to make REO coils for me. :unsure:

Look at it this way..... If you get a Reo/Rm2 combo try it out for a while and it doesn't blow you away with the flavor, vapor, and how easy it is to use you can sell it in the classies very quickly (usually within the hour) and get nearly all of your money back.

No clearo can come close to the vape that the Reo/RM2 can produce, it simply puts them to shame.

Not to mention that Reoville is full of coiling experts who want nothing more than to help you perfect your coil/wick setup, success is nearly guaranteed.

I just got a Reo last Friday. In a hurry to leave the house so I filled up the bottle and screwed on a Cisco LR306 atomizer. Enjoyed it enough that I didn't bother getting the RM2 out of the box until Sunday. I figure the LR306 will stay in the car as an emergency backup when I'm away from home.

So, if you're not up to wrapping coils yet, you can always go with something like the 306 or a cartomizer.

Sounds like a lot of work, my home made coils that I use on the Reo last at least a month with a 5 minute dry burn once a week. I never had to change one for any other reason than I got bored and wanted to make a new one.

ok melissa... im gonna make you a deal... get a reo, get some of the attys that have been brought up prior... but i want you to get a rm2 as well, (if you can swing it, or later when you can) i host a show on vapeon.tv... i am on saturday nights from 8 to 10 pacific time, if you come watch i will show you how to build... and install, we can focus extremely on installing, if you arent comfortable keep using the disposables and i will send you some built coils to add to your rm2 or igo-bf from reosmods.com... and i will continue to send you coils for the ohms you would like as long as you work at and on making your own coils...

the most satisfying part of my vape is i made it!

I'm looking to get a better PV than my current Kanger setup, and my two connectors for the Kanger are both gradually getting out of whack, so this seems like a good time. Folks in the general forum told me that the Reos probably suits my overall requirements best.

Apparently I have to build my own coils. I'm not sure about that. People keep saying that it's easy, but easy for others doesn't equal easy for me. I was never able even to rewick the Kanger coils properly -- the cotton tasted foul IMO, and dry-burning did not actually restore the coil to anything like new. I've watched several YouTube videos to confirm that I'm doing it right, but the results just weren't good.

Do I really have to build my own coils? With the Kanger, I've just been buying new coils in bulk and accepting frequent replacement as a cost I must bear. I searched for replacement coils for the Reos and found 1. Irrelevant stuff and 2. guides to building one's own.

I don't want to order one unless I know that I at least have the option of buying replacements.

Watch a few videos on building coils and go visit Elements in Beaverton. they will build one for ya (for a small fee) but they will also give you some pointers and show you how to build one yourself. Good bunch at Elements most of the time. I am not affiliated with them in anyway, just have visited all shops in the PDX area and see your in Beaverton so Elements is my recommendation to you. Dont forget to tip the coil builder, he will be more the helping on your following visit if needed ;)

Elements BVTN - 12690 SW 1st St. https://www.facebook.com/ElementsBVTN

Oh and coils are sweet and last a long time. Simple cotton swaps is all you need in between the new coil builds and usually weeks before you need to think about building a new coils. Way better and cheaper than the kanger coil way and even if you had to pay to have your first few coils built at the local Elements vape shop.

Look around, all of us have mastered it :D

I know it sounds like we're trying to talk you into something but we're really not, we have all been down your path, started with the cig a likes , then ego, etc etc now REO. We have all finally come to the conclusion that these just work and there is nothing easier to live with , and nothing gives a better vape... Think about it your coils cost you 120 bucks you could buy a REO for that. I have coils that last months, it you use ReadyxWick it will last forever.

That was not at all my experience with dripping, and I went right back to my genesis RBA, and have been happy ever since. There are those who are extremely enthusiastic about dripping, to the point of it being a religion, I'm not one of them. My IGO-W has been sitting in the cigar box for months now and I'll probably give it away.

That sounds like a heck of a deal. That's very generous of you. I accept. :D

Okay, today I need to make a list of all the stuff I'd actually need to buy, to find out how expensive it would actually be. I'm okay with spending money on stuff I'm sure I want, but if it goes much over $200 then I should probably wait until July and ask for it as a birthday present from my husband.

From other threads, it looks like most people are spending in the $200-250 range. I can probably handle that.

ok so your ideal spending is going to be less than 200...

REO Grand (pm rob about getting a blem if that's ok with you 115) or 150 iirc on my phone so can't check the prices...

Rm2 or igo bf 30 to 45

Efest Luc v4 (charger I have and use) 30 or less from triangle vapes

Aw imr 18650 or Sony vtc5 or 4 from rtd should run approximately 10 a piece.

Then some disposable attys... Or cartos


Its a little over your goal... But I'd encourage you to wait on the rm2 or igo bf if that's a deciding factor.

Then when you make that step to go ahead and get the rm2 or igo and some kanthal and on ohm meter...

This way you can practice and learn and might be surprised that its easier than you think.

In the end I want you to get to that happy vape spot and for me that is the reo... For you it may not but if its not it will sell in a heartbeat, so i want to make this decision as easy for you as possible.

Pm me any questions or anything you'd like... And feel free to go to Facebook and hit up vapeon.tv's page and mine, veni vidi vapi

This should be told to all folks curious about a Reo!

You dont NEED to build your own coils but should you decide you want to try then we will have you wrapping tight coils in no time ! :)

Thats the beauty of a Reo .Simple and will work perfect if you dont rebuild yourself and if you decide you want to it will be easiest and best vape you have had :2c:
