If the REO is your first mod (what you will need)

[Rar]

I'm still a noob and want to upgrade from my Riva 510, on which I'm dripping exclusively. I would like to get away from the dripping. Problem is, since I am a noob, I am vaping many different juices. Since yesterday, I've vaped/dripped/mixed 10 different flavors. How can a Reo accommodate that? Would I need to switch out bottles all the time?

Yes, you would.

The Reo Grand & Woodvil are great in that they each hold 6 mL and the Mini holds 3 mL. They are designed to let you vape for hours without toting around bottles and napkins.

If you like to change flavors a lot, I'd suggest you get some G4 cartos for your Riva. After filling them with different flavors (label them), you just screw one off and then screw another on. Not a perfect solution, but feasible, IMO.

If you have a base flavor that you like most of the time, you can put that in your bottle and drip into the REO catch cup (or directly into the atty) to change it up. If you haven't gotten there yet, then I agree with Mudflap, get some cartomizers. The Boge 2.0 ohm cartos also work well on the Riva.

It's easy like Mlinky said, just drip into the catch cup. I do it all the time. There are Minis still left which is unusual, so it would be a good time to jump. If you find it doesn't suit you, you can always sell on the classifieds, they go pretty fast when there are no new REOs available.

A couple of posts indicated to check your batteries to make sure they aren't overcharged. What do you do if they are?

I have never had this problem...but I've already figured I'd set mine off to the side for a time then check them again. They will slowly lose a charge over time. Has this happened to you or are you just preparing yourself for the possibility?

LOL I'm just preparing myself. There is so much i don't understand. Though I really want a mini, I feel I have to educate myself or I won't have a satisfactory experience.

Good call

If it was a protected Li-ion, I'd replace the battery. The PCB is supposed to prevent overcharging.

If it was an IMR LiMN, I'd replace the charger.

How do you use a multimeter? How do you test the ohms on a carto or atty? Isn't it just as important to know the ohms of these also?

Any videos or step by step instructions on how to test the equipment?

Hey folks...my mini should be arriving either tomorrow or Tuesday. I am all set to go, however the one maintanance issue I am wondering about is noalox on the firing pin. Can someone quickly fill me in on where the firing pin is so I can take care of it when it arrives? I just don't want to be a doofus.

When you press the button on top, it pushes down on the firing pin, so that it contacts the positive electrode of the battery. You can put a tiny spot of Noalox on that, or as Rob has mentioned, on the nipple of the battery.

 

[bornagainst]

thanks buddy! That seems simple enough!

 

[ancient puffer]

No problem. And I hope you like yours as much as I like mine. Reoville is a nice place to live

Yes. Here is a link to a video that another member found useful. VapeTV | Basilray's Guide to Atomizer Testing With a Multimeter!

*edit....Thanks, for getting that Tripp.

Ancient Puffer is right. Here is a picture to go with his explanation.
