It came! (and a couple questions)

[Intervap]

YAY! It finally came and I'm loving it! I was honestly very skeptical on how great this mod would, especially since I was never a dripper. My all-day juice tastes A LOT better and the throat hit is supreme, not too harsh but quite the thump I knew it looked smaller in person, compared to pictures, but the Grand is TINY! Holy cow. I honestly never thought I would get into a mechanical but I love this thing...
Anyways, just a couple questions.
How long does your 18650 last you in this thing? (are you a light, moderate, or heavy vaper)
Do you find yourself using more or less juice in this mod compared to, lets say, a tank?
Why did I not get one of these sooner?!
I have the bug...thank you all so much for the help!

Welcome Intervap As far as how long your batteries will last it is different for all of us . You can get through 4 or 5 ml of juice with a 18650 if you dont mind the voltage drop . I tend to change mine out a couple times a day . If your a regular vaper 2 to 3 ml a day your battery will go all day no problem . I would still change your battery everyday

Congrats!!!
I'm only a week into having my REO Grand so far, but I'm loving it.
For me, one 18650 lasts me ALMOST all day. But, I'm a hardcore chain-vaper.
I think I'm using roughly the same amount of juice as when I was using my Protanks.

And believe me, I had the same question of "why have I waited so long for this" when I first got mine.

Great .
My 18650 stays in for the day but I usually rotate between 2 other models too. It seems like I run thru about 6-8 ml a day but I think I vape allot

I would consider myself a moderate vaper, 6ml per day (about). I go through 1 18650 per 6ml.

Do you find yourself using more or less juice in this mod compared to, lets say, a tank?

Using or consumption? I am vaping about the same amount of juice (maybe a little more) but have considerably reduced the amount of juice that went to the paper towel or kleenex. I have also cut down on the amount of paper towel/kleenex, as I do not have to wipe up drips and leaks. If I take into account the amount I vaped AND the amount I sucked up in paper towel, my juice usage is about the same. We were at a vape meet yesterday, and a lady at our table had a brand new spinner. She filled the tank, and the juice promptly leaked out of her brand new cartomizer. She had to go buy another one.

Why did I not get one of these sooner?!

You did not know any better?

I have the bug...thank you all so much for the help!

I hope you enjoy your REO for the remainder of your vaping experience.

I use about the same but with a big difference and that is not losing any juice. All the juice that i wasted on using other devices not a tank but clearos and cartos is over now.

With a REO i am happy vaping. I change my battery when the bottle is half empty. I don't count how many mls used since i don't inhale the vapor

Oh yeah and since i stay at home i REALLY chain vape

Welcome to the wonderful world of REOs

Are you using the AW IMR batteries? If they are new they will need a few cycles to be at peak performance.

It is best to not let them discharge below 3.5V. They will have a longer life of use if you charge them early before they quit. You will probably notice a voltage drop around 3.7. That would be a good time to change them.

The AW IMR do not have a memory. So charging them early is good.

When I just had one Grand, the 18650 lasted through 5-5.5 ml (full bottle minus tube volume) and was at 3.6-3.7 volts when I pulled it for charging at night. That got me through wake-up to bedtime. Now I'm using two, one during the work day, going through half a bottle, and one in the morning and evening, also going through about half a bottle. The batteries are coming out at night between 3.8 and 3.9 volts.

I checked my 1600 mah aw imr when i pulled it out and it was 3.7 and that was before i went to bed and a nearly empty bottle. if you need more juice, you need to charge your battery. Results will vary i'm sure.

 

[debzcf]

If at home, I tend to switch out batteries when the bottle is half-full. When commuting, I will vape on a single battery. I choose not to be encumbered with extra batteries and juice.

 

[Intervap]

Hmm, I plan on charging my batt after a day of use since after I got home from class it was around 3.9v. For a full day of use it should be around 3.5-3.7v.
The reason I ask about the juice use is that it seems a much more efficient delivery system than clearos, cartos, etc. I can definitely see how there could be less juice waste with this, even if it is unnoticeable.
