Is a Reo for me?

[RedhatPat]

So I love bobas bounty but it's a pretty complex liquid, baditude suggested maybe I look into bottom feeding juice mods. You know I have like 3 provari's. I figure I had the battery covered so I've have been focused on delivery devices ever since falling in love with this juice.

Any reonauts using BB as an all day vape without much upkeep? I have a lot of ciscos and even an hh357 long barrel but it clogs that up too so I understand the idea "hey why not try dripping from the bottom up instead" but be honest with me, will it really make a difference?

Look, I'm gonna probably buy a reo anyway. The way I see it, every dollar spent in this enviornment could lead to adding years to my lifespan by quitting stinky sticks. Plus I'd rtather spend money here than on my woman. Yea that sounds cold but you should see her when we walk by Kay Jewelers or Old Navy. I give her more money for clothes than what I spend on rent each month! Whatever, her smile and that glimmer in her eyes makes it worth it.

Although, I can't think of a better gift to give her than to have us both grow old and wrinkly together, healthy.

Is the a reo for me?

P.S This is literally my first visit to this sction of ecf. I'm going to read everything, especially the stuff for reonauts-in-training. But I can only absorb info in doses. Too cluttery, got burned out so I took the easy route and added to the clutter with a new thread.

Bro, i dont vape bobas but I can't think of any reason why a REO would not exceed your expectations with regards to improving the simplicity of your vaping dynamic

I run 70% VG liquid and it feeds perfectly. I hear that Reos were designed to work with 100% VG.

You can make your decision with confidence when it comes to a REO.

Additionally, your girl will probably appreciate the increase in manly factor gained when your hitting on a tight box rather than that blinking pimp stick you been putting up to your mouth!

I also don't vape Boba's, but I do have a few juices that gunk up cartos and atties fast.

As much as I'd love to tell you that Reo will solve your problems, I don't think I can. You need to change your atomizer to either something that takes longer to gunk up (I don't know what does), or to something that can be easily de-gunkified.

My suggestion on the latter would be any small dripping or bottom feeding RBA, where you can remove the wick, dry-burn the coil, and put in a new wick without much hassle. Since dripping can be a pain, that's where bottom feeders like Reo would come in. There's a ton of different RBAs that work with a Reo. I replace my wick about every morning, and got it down to under a minute, for fractions of a penny per wick.

And yes, if you do decide on a bottom feeders, Reo is about as good as it gets. Simple, bullet proof, small, nice in the hand, and vendor support is hard to beat.

I think a vv would be good for you because you are using a provari and made mention of the complex flavor of bobas.

 

[rudy4653]

I have used Boba's for quite awhile now. It does funk up attys quickly but a great vape. I have used with no problem on my REOs. Little harder of a squonk but feeds fine. If you get an RBA which I HIGHLY recommend you can easily replace your wick every day if you want and dry burn your coil as needed. So easy with a RBA and you always keep it clean and have great Bobas flavor!

If you're clogging atties with 100% VG why not thin it out with a couple drops of distilled water?

 

[jwhorner6]

I run BB in my reo with a vapage 1.5 ohm atty. They come in a 2 pack for like $18. I get about 2 tanks worth (12 ml) out of an atty before I soak it in ever clear over night. Comes out good as new and I think the vapage atty performs better than the HH .357

I don't use Bobas, but I have used ejuices that can clog an atty in one day. Honestly, a REO won't help with that, your best bet is to investigate rebuildable attys (RBA's). They allow you to basically start with a fresh atty in a couple of minutes, at a cost of pennies.

That said, what the REO *will* do, is free you from the dripping, leaking, refilling, recharging, seemingly endless fiddling, that most of us just came to accept as part of vaping....before we found our REOs.

My daily routine (with a standard Grand) is: Fresh battery in the morning, (maybe) fresh bottle of juice about every 1 1/2 to 2 days, fresh battery again around 9ish, depending on how heavily I'm vaping that day, and a fresh atty every few weeks or when I feel the flavor isn't there anymore. That translates to most days, pop in new battery and vape all day and well into the night. With the grand, I can leave the house for hours on end and not worry about battery, or juice.

I'd pay close attention to the advice above about a VV Grand. If you're spoiled by VV, you won't want to go back, although, the regular Grand (IMHO) outvapes any other 3.7 device, hands down.

BB is my main vape (tho mixed with Lava Juice) and use it with my Woodvil & VVWoodvil. With both REOs I have ran it thu RBAs and my favorite Cisco LR 1.5Ω bridgeless atty with zero issues.

Great minds think alike. That was one of the first things I tried, some distilled water. Even tried a few drops of scotch. But it runs deeper than those remedies unfortunately. Basically any juice that has more than 50% Vg and then those ejuices that have a high sugar content( real sweet) real dark flavours and NET ( naturally extracted tobacco) tobaccos . the coil will get real gunky and dirty. If using a cartomizer you will notice it choking up and gets hard to take a draw. If you use a wick type of atomizer you will atually see the coils get blackish and the taste will get sort of harsh or burned tasting. So it's not that it is a thick 100% vg liquid, but the fact that it has so much particulate matter suspended in it. Those particles do not get vaporized, and tend to quickly accumulate, ya know.

I only DIY. I have tried BB in the past. It pales in comparison to what I mix in the color. Mine are dark, very dark! Only use 100% VG too.
REO's don't have a bit of a problem with thickness.

With a cartos on a REO you don't have to prefill. Just squonk a little juice into it and vape. With my juice a cartos would last me at least a week. I don't use them a lot anymore, love atty's and RBA now. My Joye L.R. 510 1.5, and L.R. 306 1.5 do just fine with my juices.

I see no problem at all with your BB and a REO!

Great idea, Ben (the dude behind BB in case anyone doesnt know) told me he's been experimenting with mixerstoo. He's been likeing 80%BB w/ 20% pgsweettart. Next on my list to do, I'm gonna try this lava juice u speak of

 

[FeistyAlice]

Agree with much above. My mainstay very few juices I've been vaping over two years gunks up ALL coils no matter the pg/vg ratio. This is the only reason I keep going back to good quality silica wick as I can dry burn and/or torch the coil daily or even more often without the interruption of having to rewick every single day or even more often.

I did BB early on as I was transisitioning off tobacco flavors. The juices I moved to, and still using, gunk coils just as much ss BB.

Thanks for the thread. I have a newly purchased Reo Grand. And I just ordered my first bottle of Boba's Bounty. So I also need this information. I am a newbie and have never tried a RBA. Right now I am using a Cisco 306 LR atty. I guess it would help if someone could tell me which rebuildable atty would work best on my Reo if I also plan on using it strictly for Boba's Bounty? Something that is easy to replace the wick/coil or whatever needs to be replaced on a regular basis. Also when I would know when to replace it and if there are youtube video's to show me exactly how to do this. If I can find a good atomizer that will last a long time cost would no be a factor vs. buying new ones frequently.

 

[Mudflap]

A Reo Grand or a VV Grand plus a durable bottom feeding RBA would solve your dilemma, IMO.

You'd just have to install a new wick and coil as needed, which will only cost you a few pennies at a time. The Reo would give you great battery life, juice capacity, and freedom from leaking and dripping.

One of many.


Just google how to and take your pick...good luck!

Easy there buddy. The closest I've come to DIY is clicking buttons/dropdown menus at ECBlend's site. It's not safe to DIY yet, FOR ME, I mean. Just ask my fiance what I do to our kitchen when I try to cook, if you don't believe me.

Anyway, I'm sold. I think by time the first guy with a monkey in his avatar responded, I was sold. So when you posted, you're now preaching to the chior!

 

[clyde2801]

Number one, love your ...... off looking 10th Doctor/David Tennant avatar. Sorry, had to get that out of the way.

To repeat what others have said, I think a Reo Grand or VV Grand using either cartos or (preferably) a good RBA would be the way to go. With a regular atty, you're using the same holes for juice and for air; a thick dark juice would gum them up quicker than dripping in them.

Thanks for the info. I diy at 60/40 and rarely have these issues except for a few of my sweeter mixes - chocolate mint mixes specifically. Tried BB at a meet though and plan on getting some.

I put that same image on FB the other day! Loved it!

So, by Bill's post you were sold! That is terrific!

Sometimes I tend to go a little overboard. Didn't mean to do a hard sell.

It is just that I have not seen a juice anywhere that is as dark and thick as what I use. Thought that might help.

As for buying REO's, well, don't expect many to have the amount I do. Just would like to see everyone try one.

Oh, my name is Karen, just an old REO loving granny here!
