I think I've settled in with my REOSMods. Love the durablilty, and I think Rob nailed it with the RM 2.0 rba. Roomy, easy to rebuid/ use, and durable enough to handle life on the road. Squonking is foolproof now. REOS and HHV- A Winning Combination !

You and me both, my double threadmate:toast:!

Are you sticking with the Vapage Hybrid Chak? Ever try the 357 yet?

Yes, Bronze, I have two .357's and love them!!! Only thing is they don't feed well from a bottom feeder. IMO The Hybrid is doing an outstanding job so far and on the same plane with .357 as far as taste goes. I use .357 mainly for dripping new juices for a taste test.

I really like the Vapage hybrid atty's but like the Avidvape Cisco spec best. Go Reo and Vmod!

Big-time +1 on what bappo said. I don't see why people are quite so gaga over the .357 when the Cisco specs are as good as they are at such a better price.

May have to try those soon. How do they work on a bottom feeder?

Chak, I use a Cisco and a REO all day long. That's pretty much my only set-up at the moment (one more :facepalm: for me). Try 'em out!

Go Becky! You know of what you speak:toast:

Ciscos, like the Vapage shifus, are made for bottom feeders. Maybe feed a little smoother than the vapage. I use both 1.5 and 1.8 ohm, either ciscos or vapage, in four different bottom feeders. Other than sitting around the house, the Reo and Vmods are all I use. Next to the TV chair are my gennies:)

Lent my bud my reo today for his tec. It's ugly but figured I'd get used to a mech this way.
I refuse to use it. Chock it up to poor chinese workmanship the threading on the 510 is horrible horrible horrible. I'll end up breaking it then having to pay him.
Hopefully he likes the reo though.

Hopefully you'll at least get your REOS back...

Honestly He's even more picky then me and already told me he's done! :p
He loved the build but the vape for some reason he didn't enjoy. I'll have it back tomorrow and maybe I'll get that 2.0 this week instead of a mech mod.. I want something high end so it'll be a while till I get the funds for one.

Damn that was quick. I love my Reo with a 1.5 ohm atty.

A Reo and bottom-fed RDA are going to be my next major purchases. I would think that setup (or a Billet Box - have you looked at those at all, btw? Just curious what your thoughts are on them) would be the perfect mix of a quality vape, low likelihood of leaking and durability to just throw in my jacket pocket when I'm out on the motorcycle all day.

Gandy original July vintage so no cherry notes. Actually my October cherrydalf has lost most of it's cherry notes.

Oh Bronze, Drug up from apocalypse storage my last 30 ml of last fall vintage Pirate's Booty today as well:D

Speedy, bottomfeeders are perfect from motorcycle jacket pockets, jean pockets, shirt pockets, murses, well anywhere!

More than likely that was Gandy 2 (I still have 5ml left that I haven't touched since September).

Covet that Booty like no other Bap!!! April said she unexpectedly found an unopened bottle of vintage Booty in the back of her fridge last night. I'm sending her an RBA she can dedicate to vaping it from. I still have 20ml of October Booty left myself. Enjoy, Friend.

I'm not too proud to brag...I made a half decent mod today all be my little old self!

0505030128.jpg 0505030126.jpg

Sorry for the poor picture quality. It's not 100% done yet. I might post better pics, but it's just a $5 flashlight mod with less than $10 in parts. Meh. Comments would definitely be appreciated though.

Specs from my FacePlant page...

"$5 aluminum 3xAAA flashlight. Battery, lights, springs, and switch removed. 18500 IMR battery, C&K 3 Amp switch, polished copper plate strip contacts from bottom to top, purple LED behind switch made from carto condom, 510 connection with drip well. Drunker tank on top. Works perfectly." Edit: To the left is an 1000mah Ego passthrough with a Kanger T2 on top.

BTW, Drunker Tank is full of Oompa, Kanger T2 is full of Legend/Oompa. 100% VG for me.

Now I can vape for as long as my lungs want and make a proper vape face!

Edit on the last post I made. It's an 18650 battery. All it needs is a couple more vent holes in the bottom and some hot glue or equivalent to get the LED to stay in the perfect place. The 510 connection wobbles just a little, so it's going to get some epoxy or something like that. I don't have to put Noalox on the flashlight threads since they aren't used to carry the electricity. It might not last more than a couple of months without an overhaul, but being my first try that should be expected.

BTW, I had not slept for 30 hours when I started making this. Right now I've been up for 40 hours, typing has become challenging.

Warning , do not operate vehicles or heavy machinery when high on success and far behind on sleep.

Tonight's been a Reo, 1.5 ohm atty, and Gandalf #1. Mmmmmmm good.

Ok, ok, you've convinced me, but the Ciscos will have to wait till next pay check. :D Maybe I'll start breaking even in the fall. :laugh:

I've had El Toro in the Vmod the last couple of days. Good stuff, but had to switch out the atty once already. Guess El Toro doesn't vape as clean as HHV juice. :blink:
