I have reached vaping Nirvana

[tmel]

After almost 4 years of vaping, I finally did it.

I started vaping because I met a lady and she hated smoking, I had tried quitting before but never really wanted to.

Got a Blu Cig starter kit back in the day with an actual cartridge, cartomizers were just coming out at the time. Worked out for a bit, moved to a Revolver Elite, then to a Totally Wicked Ego-T setup and finally to a Silver Bullet!

My SB broke after 2 years or so and I went back to a normal 1000mah eGo and a low res carto.

I finally decided to get a Vamo, meh....

I am now a happy owner of a Reo Grand and Ibaloi, what I would consider the perfect setup.

The Reo is my all day everyday and I run 12mg 50/50 unflavored in it. I've seasoned my Reo by running enough pure Menthol in it that anything I put in it has a hint of Menthol and I'll never have to add it to my liquid again.

I run dual 0.6 ohm mirco coils stacked on each other with cotton wick in my RM2 with the air hole at 3/32, with bottom feeding it is complete heaven.



For my Ibolai, I have an Omega, an IGO-W2/3 and Trident, all clones of course. (I'll post Ibolai pics when home) Here is a review by a fellow Reo User, Ibaloi Mod by Xobeloot - YouTube

The Ibolai is so solid and amazing, the threading is perfect, the weight and balance feels perfect in the hand. I have felt almost every clone at vape shops and they feel like cheap .... compared to my Ibolai, I am sure they work great...but so light weight and the threading is never as good or thick and beefy.

Not to mention it is 100% telescopic and ANYTHING sits flush on it, I can just twist a touch and adjust everything to my liking!

Here is my first attempt at quad coils on the IGO-W3, I didn't realize what I had created until my girlfriend started calling it my nazi stick. I think I am going to make vertical coils instead when I get home.



These two devices coupled with 500ml of 12mg 50/50 unflavored nicotine, a gallon bag of sterile rolled rotton and 100ft of Kanthal and some random flavorings for dripping is what I consider to be my end all be all.

I'll just experiment with coils from now on I think


Reo Grand + RM2 = 150ish after shipping
Ibolai was 250 local, all the way from the Philippines
Various random RBA's 50 bucks
Another 50 for kanthal/cotton/bulk nicotine/flavoring and you're at about 500 bucks total for vaping nirvana too.

Compared to that over huge number in my sig, I think I am doing OK!

Most excellent sir! I'm going to have a look at that atomizer.

I really love the AFC on it, quad air hole slits are so great!

I've learned that I can further control the air flow with how I position my cotton inside as well .

However, the Omega for sure has best quality AFC I have ever used, it is super slick to adjust and I feel totally confident with a locked Ibolai and all holes closed on the Omega for a dry pocket.

I was thinking about getting a Reo somewhere down the line... So if I get one and put a strong flavor in it, it'll "hang on" to that flavor... forever?

Not exactly.

You can wash the entire Reo in the sink and scrub it with a toothbrush if you wanted to. The O-Ring in the bottle cap retains most flavor, you can change it or soak in Vodka.

The tube can be blown out and cleaned or replaced, same as bottles.

I wouldn't put Pluid in my Reo and expect to ever not taste it however. That being said, most people will buy a Reo for every flavor/day of the week.

THEY ARE THAT GOOD

Loving it. I myself am considering picking one of the two up.
