Those are good....I have a couple. Are you used to mechanical mods or regulated mods? For these mechanicals, you'll quickly learn to "feel" (cooler vape) when it's time for a fresh battery. If I'm going somewhere for the whole day, I usually stick an extra battery in my bag. If I'm just leaving the house for a few hours, I usually just make sure I have a fresh battery and topped-off bottle when I leave. You'll get the rhythm soon enough. Your vaping life just got streamlined. Enjoy!

Nice Fishwater! is it the pic or is that rogue sitting wicked HIGH on top of that beautiful blue?

Actually it is sitting high, I prefer a slight air gap ever since I had an Atty scratch one of my mods when I cranked it down. Just a little ocd on my part!

I have a well balanced collection really. Plenty of regulated and tube mechs. I've always gravitated towards mechs just because it's kind of my style I guess. Haha.

It's either the 510 or your fire pin is off kilter n not making contact w/ the battery? rather, hitting the delrin insert? check that out too. I've gravitated toward regulated mods most of my time vaping, but always idolized mechs. As I age, I am gravitating toward mechs a lot more. Idk why, but it seems like I like that mechs drain low. I HATE dry scratchy hits.

Welcome to the mad house of happy vapers. Congrats on the new Copper Vein. I love mine and use it often, now it's black. Should have listened to the masses and coated it. Any way Cut an inverted V into your feed tube it will keep it from suctioning to the bottom or sides of the joose bottle. Good luck with your new Reo and if you have any questions just ask. We love helping you find your perfect vape.

I understand. Gotcha. My ocd worries about my atty sitting too high…I worry about when I pocket my reo too much stress on the 510.

That's a great idea about the feed tube. I'll definitely do that! I'm at the point now where I just want to buy like 20 bottles just so I can always have different flavors on deck.

Welcome.

Another way to look at the flavor/bottle thing, buy 10 more new Reos to get the 20 additional bottles. :)

Glad you got it firing!

Life will all depend on your build - but in the 0.5 ohm range, I can often get through about a bottle of juice - or most of a day.
My longest run-time batteries are the brown LG HG2's.
Second-favorite are my (baby blue) Samsungs.



I believe you are right. I'm in love with this device. Hahaha. What kind of battery life do you guys get with these?

I throw an o-ring under there.
A throwback habit from back when I wanted a little flex in screwing down, so I could "aim" the airhole. No longer important with half my atties like Rogue or Manta that pull air from above and all around, but I still do it - and it can prevent scratching.

I've actually got a couple different thicknesses, so I rarely need to adjust my 510 - I'll just throw a thinner ring in to see if that does it, first...

I cannot believe it took me this long to get my first Reo. Unbelievable

Aaaahhh..the sounds of a new Reonaut.....always warms my heart. If you actually get 20 new bottles, I suggest getting the 8.5 ml soft bottles (on the Reosmods.com site.) They are sweet. They're easier to squonk, drain better, and hold a little more juice.

I'll definitely look into that.

What is your wick of choice? For one thing, with a squonker, you don't need tails. I clip my wicks about a mm on each side. Also, if you use cotton, it needs to be sparse enough that it can actually slide easily through the coil when it's dry. For rayon, on the other hand, I make my wicks pretty tight, but still no tails. The cotton swells, the rayon doesn't.

Take the top off and watch your liquid saturate your wick a few times. I usually get maybe 4-5 hits from one squonk..
