Yeah... hmmm... I haven't been around alot lately, but after a quick review of the situation (post history), I agree.

Seems pretty brazen of the OP:

1.) Playing the sympathy card
2.) Receiving free Reo setup from people so giving that they can be (at times) taken advantage of
3.) Buying a Hana setup with the money that could of bought the Reo setup in the first place
4.) Trading free Reo setup for a dual 18650 wood mod setup???
5.) But not without coming back to Reoville and brazenly rubbing it in people's faces?

That's what the quick re-cap is looking like to me. Am I wrong? I could be off of my horse... if so I am sorry. :unsure:


I would like to address some of the negative statements from Funk Dracula

• Reo was not given to me, I owe $120.00 for it
• Super X, who I owe the money to, is out of town and cannot be reached for a week
• Before I sold or traded anything items would have been paid for or sent back
• The Hanna mod is a clone from Focalecig group buy $43 the price of a RM2
• The Magma that Ian444 refers to is a smok Caterpillar rda I got off Ebay for $11.00
• How can a plea for help be called “brazenly rubbing it in people's faces” ?
• “Your review of the situation (post history)”, could not have been read
• After my quick review of Funk Dracula’s profile it was apparent where all the negativity comes from. 1132 posts and 0 likes given & 1 friend

Mr Funk Dracula if you have any other concerns, please feel free to address them here.

If anyone feels like I “Playing the sympathy card” or took advantage of them please PM me with your contact information and I will gladly send the items back.

Okay.

• Reo was not given to me, I owe $120.00 for it
Okay.

• Super X, who I owe the money to, is out of town and cannot be reached for a week
Okay.

• Before I sold or traded anything items would have been paid for or sent back
Glad you cleared that up.

• The Hanna mod is a clone from Focalecig group buy $43 the price of a RM2
Hana clones are typically called just that; Hanna clone OR Channa. "I just got my Hanna mod" says $200 to me. Good you cleared that up.

• The Magma that Ian444 refers to is a SMOK Caterpillar RDA I got off Ebay for $11.00
Then don't call it a Magma.

• How can a plea for help be called “brazenly rubbing it in people's faces” ?
Because you wouldn't be the first whipper snapper to manically waltz into ECF and slip up after charity was given. I've seen people post "I'm so poor" to up their collection of goods, only to learn later that they were full of it. People lie. Dude last week was giving a sob story looking for a free Odin.

• “Your review of the situation (post history)”, could not have been read
I read the previous post to my response in this thread, scanned your post history, and confirmed. The Reo "donations", the "Hanna mod" (which is apparently a $43 clone), the "Magma", and in this threads OP the "dual 18650 wood mod." I'm confused about this point, but oh well. In any case, the evidence looked like what it looked like. It needed clarification. I don't apologize for calling out bullcrap when I see it.

Address the post, not the poster. You want to make this personal have at it, I promise you that I possess the skill to troll you into oblivion. Approach with caution, sir.

Mr Funk Dracula if you have any other concerns, please feel free to address them here.

Sure:

I said in my post if I was mistaken, that I was sorry. That still stands.



- Have a day

Looks like it's all good, just a misunderstanding. (this I hope) OP have you tried any of the above suggestions? Is it getting any better? We can help you find the perfect vape but we need your feedback.

No, although a have learned a lot.

• First and foremost it is not the Reo (very happy about that)
• I remover the Igo S off the Reo and put it on a VV mod still no flavor
• Put tape on air hole, no vapor or flavor. Maybe hole is to small
• Wrapped a ugly coil, 28g 4/5 wraps on a 3/32 bit, 1.3ohm 11 watts, cotton, great vapor, flavor not so such
• Took the Igo S and put it on a freshly charged 1100mah battery, same set up, thinking less watts would help. great vapor no flavor
• Same juice in a FKL 2 clone 1.5ohm’s 7.5 watts great flavor (less air flow)
• So it is not me or the juice
• Should I try higher than 1.3 ohms or lower? Don’t know which way to go

I'm curious. What juices are you using? I'm VERY picky with my juice, and when I came to Reoville, some of my older juices I loved, tasted like watery cotton no matter what. Maybe try unflavored as many reonaughts love it. Me, I'm a flavor junkie.
I believe FB said the air hole may be too BIG, not small, so try adjusting that?

I just would like to add as an outsider, it did appear to be an end around from you post history. I saw your post basically saying don't suggest an REO unless you were able to help financially. I also saw the posts about getting new equipment other than a REO. Then I saw this post that you were giving up after a week and were (apparently?) going to sell it off to get a different mod. All of this after you said you were a 3 PAD smoker before starting vaping. It came off as if you were trying to scam.

Thank you for clearing up the situation. I do not like seeing kind-hearted people being taken advantage of. My personal suggestion is stick with it a month or two before throwing in the towel. For the most part there are regulated, mechanical, and bottom feeder type Mods. You have arguably the best of two categories in the REO it is both a mechanical and bottom feeder. I mean if you wanted to use it as a Mech. You could then use the compartment to store your drip bottle, and that would be a nice setup.

OP some folks when trying a Reo for the first time have found that they not only need to drop their nic because of a better delivery but also their % of flavor. There are posts in the DIY section that back up the idea that there is a point where to much flavoring added seems to shut down the taste.

Following that it's possible for your juice to do well in some devices and not so fine in others. Try diluting whats in your Reo by dripping a drop of plain vg or some unflavored if you have it directly on your wick after squonking. That just might unlock the flavor for you.

Sorry about the name RattlerX.

I am still trying different things I read on this thread, a lot of good advise, thanks.

Sorry about making mistakes and overreacting, just so you know I am on a lot of Meds and get confused easily and make mistakes. See I used "and" 3 times in one sentence. Some days are better than others. Bare with me if you can.

Thanks for all the help

Sandy,or
Keep at it J, the rm3 is a little tricky. Heck, I rebuilt it and drilled it twice before I got a really good combo of vapor and flavor, and I'd like to think I'm no slouch at this! I had to open it up, as I am used to lung hits now, which probably isn't your direction coming from clearos. I did wind up raising the coils higher than what I was used to on the rm2, which is basically on the deck. Air going under and over the coil definitely gave more flavor in the rm3. I wound up with duals at .5 and it is my new favorite.
