Hello, my name is adam~ I'm not good at writing a review like the other forum members here, but here u go.....
I just recieved my lovely blue stabilize 18490 today!! I connected atty and freshly charged new battery right after unboxing....and all I can say about this 18490 is "WOW"...so much better throat hit than mini. Almost 4hrs chain vaping now but the battery is still powerful!! This mod is just perfect for me

Thanks so much, Rob!!!! you r my hero

What a beauty! Wow. Mine are at IN TULSA right now! That means I'll get them tomorrow! I can't wait. I can see this thread growing and growing in the next few days....thanks to Rob for getting them out to us so quickly. My notifications have been saying "December 23" as the delivery date, but until I saw that they were actually in town, I didn't want to trust it then get disappointed. But....now I think it really WILL be tomorrow....and this is MY Christmas to me! I'm so excited it's going to be hard to sleep tonight! I have my batteries charged and my attys cleaned. I'm ready!

Congrats on getting your 18490. Great choice and good looking pryex drip tip too. Doesn't look like I'm getting mine tomorrow since it's still in Maine.

If you are look at tracking I'm sure it is closer to Seattle than Maine. I bet it shows up tomorrow. I got a package several days ago and tracking still shows that it is in Federal Way.

I hope your right. Noticed that myself with a few packages that I had. Don't wanna head down to the post office tomorrow and spitting on a random wall. That wouldn't be a good thing at all.

I too have just purchased a Reo Woodvil 18490 and I am a relative newbie
Is there not a user manual for the 18490 ?
There is an avalanch of information on here but no basic instruction for an 18490 ?
So much to dig through I may have well missed it.
Even on the manufacturers web site there doesnt seem to be even basic instructions for the 18490
Vaping is such a huge learning curve !!

cheers

Hi Graham
Geez...I'm falling behind. I need to rewrite the care/user manual for the wood mods. I will work on that later today when I wake up so this doesn't come up again.

So out of the box, here are some instructions.
First, remove the door. Remove the bottle, and fill 3/4 full with the juice you wish to use. Then, screw the bottle back into the cap, being careful to make it firm, yet not too tight as to cause the o-ring inside the cap to buckle. Blow out any primer that may be in your atty or carto into a paper towel. Screw your atty or carto of choice into the connector firmly, but not too tightly. Be sure to inspect the atty/carto to be sure that the center post isn't protruding too far so as to cause a short in the mod. The following pictures illustrate the difference between adapters with a normally set center post versus a protruding center post.

then install your charged battery, positive side up and replace the door. Now, before you use your mod, you will want to prime your atty. You can either add a few drops directly to the atty and let soak for about 10 minutes or gently draw on your atty, while squeezing the juice bottle to bring juice up to the bridge of the atomizer without firing the atty. You do not need to fill the catch up with juice....if this has occurred, your atty is probably flooded and you may need to "blow it out" before you continue. Here is a picture of the top of a REO Grand showing the connector and center post.

And another to show the inside of a wood mod...

Once your atty//carto is juiced, then press the button and begin to vape. A juicing should last you at least 5 vapes before you need to juice again depending on the technique you use. I'm sorry if this is vague. I'm trying to keep it general and I'm up way past my bedtime . I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if there is anything you think I should add. I am happy to accept any criticism. You are welcome to send me a PM if you would like.
