Ek like die Jo GSA niks nie - only vaping for a month and he buys a Reo!!! - that's just rude
and I am still on eGo and eGo clones - just check my signature - almost 2 years :facepalm:

Come xmas bonus, come.
But at more than 50 cigs a day, you prolly need it more than I do --- attaboy
Enjoy it - how does it feel to be off the "analogs"

Ok... so my newest addition to my Leo is the 510 dual coil tank from smolk tech...

Initialy nothing wanted to work...... I couldent get n carto 1.5 ohm or 2 ohm to fire on the Leo. So MAdvapes told me to pul out the center pin from the Leo to 510 adapter...... can you imagine......

Any ways..... after a long strugle and some pulling on the centre pin(wich is now bend and in raffles) I got a 1.5 ohm carto to work on the tank.

Taste is moderate, not like the Leo Carto, Vapot is moderate, but this can all be because the carto is still new....I hope, because the hole setup make sense to me that is alot on the road. Much less filling, much less time wasted.

I am now confused. I have a Leo Sport from Electronic Cigarettes and Supplies | Vaper
No mods nothing. Yet I get a TH and lots of vapour with every puff. Only prob is that I have to refill continuously.
My bat is 4v and my atty is 3ohm.
My main aim is to get a TH and lots of vapour. Does your 510 tank do this? And if so, does it fit as I see the length from my flange to the end of the brass is much shorter than what you guys show.

Yep.... the continous refilling is one of the Leo's draw backs for me too.

Isn't the Leos batt a 3.7v ???

My 510 LR tank still does not give as much vapor as the std Leo cartriges and not much of a TH either, never mind the atty, but I must say, not refilling them for a long time does have its advantages in my line of work.

The tank does fit, e=and it does work on the Leo batt, that is with a Leo to 510 adapter that I had to grind a bit off so that it make contact.

I checked my bat voltage after charging. 3.97v
After 5 hours of heavy vaping it dropped to 3.88v
Until I get more feedback as to TH and vapour with the dual coil 510 tank stuff, I will stick to my original Leo as I get a good TH and lots of vapour. I can put up with constant refilling as I am not on the road as much as you.
I checked that video out that you posted and was not very impressed with the amount of vapour. I get the same without a dual coil. Bigger toys for big boys I think.
I learned to optimize mine as it does decline after about 50 puffs.

Over time, I have learned to optimize my Leo Sport.
When the TH diminishes or the amount of vapour lessens, then I;
1. Blow out the atty from the mouthpiece side onto a tissue. The dark residue is what gave you that burned taste and heartburn.
2. Clean the atty with the tissue. The bat side. You will see dark liquid residue.
3. Drip 1 or 2 drops into the atty and 3 into the cartridge.
Now you good to go. Strong TH and vapour for hours.

Johnny... my new REO mini arrived on Sat, but the batt's come from another vendor, and it will only come this coming week...I hope.

With the REO mini, I got some 510 cartos and attys....

When I bought the 510 LR tank from MV(for the Leo), I bought a Leo to 510 adapter to. Leo Battery to 510 Atomizer adapter

So with all these spares, and a REO that will not work without its batt's I came up with the plan to put the 510 cartos on my Leo, because both the Leo and the REO works at 3.7v, thus the flavor and everything else wil be se same on my Leo..... exept for the bottom feeding part that the REO does.

Just to clear up my earlier post about the Leo Bat voltage. Yes, it is 3.7v when under load. That is the voltage when the button is pressed. When measured without a load it will be more like in 3.98v. Same as a car battery. 12v will be 12.9v when not under load. If it measures 12.4v it will be flat and not start your car.
Same with 1,5v torch bats. When it gets to 1.5v, it will be flat. It must be 1.68v at least and with load will drop to 1.5v.
Also JO, the 1000mah will give you longer puffing as YOU need being a traveler than the 650mah. Not more wattage (heat).
Just my 2c worth.

So let me get this small.
I must get a 510 to Leo adapter and a DC 510 tank Cartomizer or is it a LR tank Carto to fit my Leo Battery. Plus the Atty. Then I'm good?
After that, I get a Reo Mini when I'm rich like JO?
Is this correct?
The Reo is over R1k and I need 2. One for me and 1 for wife.

Johnny, no you dont need TANK cartos, just dc dc cartos, the tank cartos just have a flansh on the bottom when you have a smok tech tank.

But on this topic of tanks, I read some reviews on tanks today, and realized that it could be that the hole in my tank cartos are to small and I punched them duble the size that they where, so now the dc 510 cartos 1.5 ohm inside the smok tec tank on my Leo does work amazingly better since my last review, worth a try if you dont like the shlep of refilling the hole time or dripping.
