This is gonna sound ridiculously basic, but I'll ask it any way. If I want to swap flavors after I kill the bottle, heck even mid bottle, do I HAVE to rewick, or is it truly like an rda where the flavor "bleed" is only temporary and sometimes even enjoyable?

All in all an awesome little device and it's treating my very nicely right out the gate. I like it!! I can't say love at first vape, but tomorrow will be a true test to that. I'll take it and some spare batteries and a refill bottle out on a prolonged day out with my daughter. If I don't switch back to a mod for flavor or a regulated tank for convenience I'm 100% sold.

Congrats, post pictures. Most of my juices are complementary and I just change the bottle and vape away. If I just want to change it up a bit, when it's time to squonk I drip a different flavor into the RBA instead of squonking . Then on subsequent squonks the original flavor will start to come back.

Yay! New Reo person!

Totally up to you about the wicking matter. No need to change out the wick unless you know Flavor A and Flavor B are going to be grossly uncomplimentary. And you can't blame the atty for that one. :p If you are really concerned about uncomplimentary flavor transfer, squonk a couple bottles of hot water through the Reo to clear out the feed tube and atty before changing the wick.

Actually you now have a funner way to do things. Squonk a little from here, drip as per usual from there... I like to wing it and make up flavors as I go.

I'm not 100% attached to the drip tip, but I thought such a pretty mod needed a nifty tip.

I mostly vape fruity juices, but I don't change wicks or even clean out the bottle really if I vaped it dry, or poured some out. If it was a really strong flavor that might be good to do, but mine switch over very easily. when I first got it, I'd rinse the bottle out, then realized I really don't need to do that with my juices.

Hope your reo outing worked out well for ya and you're 100% in love with it now!

While it seems stupid to ask now... Reos don't have to worry about tank crackers right? I mean the bottle is the same we use to hold the liquid and kept away from the direct heat that comes into play in tanks. Just double checking. For what it's worth I've got a handful of spare bottles, a replacement firing pin and spring, and a vial of noalox on the way from Rob.

Most have said that the bottles hold up pretty well......but the Orings are another story. I've used some lemonade for a short period with no issues, but for the most part don't use tank cracker juices.

UM...forgive this question in advance if it's wrong...but is that a 510 atomizer on your Reo and not an RDA?

If so, then just put a new attie on
If you use RDA's then vape the wick just about dry, drip a new flavor on it and fill the bottle with the new flavor. If it's a strong flavor I'd suggest running a gentle stream of water down the tube and give the bottle a quick rinse then refill with a different juice.

Or better yet...get another Reo:)

He'll no!

You'll forget all about tank attys and like many others wonder why anyone would want to mess with "tanks" after using a reo! This is like vaping in heaven! The way it ecigs should of been originally designed.

No wicking,flooding,cracking tanks issues over here in Reo ville!

The Reo is simply built for your simple easy vaping pleasure! No voodoo or hocus pocus magic crap with wicking that defys gravity were you hope the juice gets to were your hoping.. squeeze and whalah! Vapolishious!

If you found reoville and have a reo on the way get ready to be thankful you did! I can still remember someone mentioning a reo mod 5 years ago and boy am I glad I went and did a search for a reo!

Word of mouth advertizing. Could you imagine how hot the reo would blow up if there was a Comercial for a reo on tv? Heh

It would be awful, cuz Rob would be forced into mass production, factories, and they wouldn't have the touch of the master, or the appropriate amt of magical porky dust! lol

I really don't think Rob would go that way Deb, if you're serious, he's too standup hands-on a kinda guy...he'd prolly just try to work 20 hrs. a day seven days a week!
