Is your REO not producing as much clouds as you expected?

I'm quite happy with everything the REO offers, the only drawback, which is probably a user error haha, is that the amount of vapor it's producing? I'm using a boge 510, LR atty, with a 50/50 mt baker vapor ecto-cooler, my 80pg/20vg juice on my MVP produces much more vapor than my REO. Not sure what the problem is, I even tried a 20/80vg cherry limeade on my REO, and still the vape production isn't quite satisfying. Is it the atty? Do I need to move on to an RM2? Thanks ! Happy vaping

Make sure you are not flooding the atty. Too much juice and you will get just a little vapor.

An LR atty should perform well on the REO.

What battery are you using? Button top?

Vapor production is a governed by a combination of heat and airflow. Or to be more precise Ohms vs voltage and then size of air hole and location relative to coil.

My guess is your pushing the LR atty on the MVP to higher voltage than the Reo delivers, since you really cannot change the airflow.

So long way to answer the question:
The RM2 will allow you to build a lower ohm coil, thus increasing the heat produced by the Reo to be equal or greater than the MVP LR atty is producing.

The RM2 will allow to change the position of the coil relative to the airflow. Also many people drill a larger air hole in the RM2 increasing total airflow, but increase it slowly and in moderation, its hard to un-drill a hole.

Very good point - probably the biggest deciding factor when I opted for my reo. Whenever I overdripped my igo w I would get real scratchy hits, very little vapor, then the juice would be completely cooked and start tasting funky.

Or just "vape through" - just take a couple drags without squonking.

To avoid floods there is a technique called "Blind squonking" we used to use when everyone was using Ciscos and 510s.

Sheesh, it has been a while now =)

So, you basically draw on the atty while squonking lightly (without firing), when you hear the liquid reach the atty or feel a change of resistance in the draw, stop drawing and release the bottle. You should be good for a couple draws.

Agreed, TK. There is somewhat of a fine line between too wet of a wick and not wet enough. oDANo, to achieve true vaping nirvana with a mech reo, ditch the carto and get a proper rebuildable bottom feed drip atty and build a .7~1.0 coil. I get not only clouds that will choke a horse but flavor an TH as well. Even low resistance cartos can't compare.

BC, it is possible to get big clouds even with the VD which is really not that much of a VD. Sure, Robs upgrades will improve VD but the biggest advantage will be battery efficiency. The VD that you speak of is really just a mole hill and blown waaaaaay out of proportion. The right balance of resistance, air flow, coil position, atty chamber volume and juice composition is what is more important. Voltage drop has become a scapegoat explanation, IMO.
