Merry Christmas and a Thank You

[zero7starz]

Merry Christmas to everyone is REO Ville!!

I became a proud new mama today of a pink LP Reo Grand. It was a Christmas present from my Mom and Dad, both of which have been very supportive of me switching to vaping.
With it I got a RM2, and a slew of Reo supplies (a couple springs, a button cover, some extra tubes, bottles, and a repair kit [emoji4]
I was very excited and blessed to receive it, and I couldn't wait to get home and build it.

With this post of excitement, I owe Rob a huge Thank You for even making this gift possible. See, my mother, as kind as she is, knows nothing about vaping. So, she was quite flustered trying to get this, and to top it all off the pink ones were out of stock on the website! Hehe. She showed me a couple of the emails in her exchange with Rob and I was rolling laughing. Rob!! Thank you for being so kind to my mom and helping her make this a very special Christmas. She was also very grateful for making this very confusing quest much easier. As a veteran myself of customer service, it is truly touching to experience such amazement from a business. It may be your business, but never the less, you didn't have to do what you did, or go so far to make it possible. So thank you, Rob. You rock!

Now, for some pictures

Nice, congrats on the gift. Just so you know the pinks haven't been available for quite some time, so it's pretty cool to see one reappear in new condition. You have a gem there and are gonna love it.

On a side note, I'm assuming you use to drip. Next time you build, the coil looks perfect, maybe leave the legs a little longer so the coil is closer to the edge on the deck and reduce the amount of wick. In that configuration you have there less is more. You should be able to see the sqounk hole in the deck once finished with wicking.

Super_X_drifter has build/walkthru videos on YouTube Id recommend checking out and there's a couple for the RM2. Again, congrats and Merry Christmas.

Congratulations on your new REO and welcome to the forum.

 

[super_X_drifter]

Yep, congrats and welcome. Here's a good build vid for where to put your coil and how much wick to use:

Thanks guys!! I had no idea that the pink ones were so limited! Now I just feel even more blessed to have received one. And I already had that drip tip, but I was tickled to see how well it matched.

Admittedly I was not a dripper I was a Kayfun gal. And I also notoriously use way too much wick. I really had no idea how much cotton to fit in there so I just rolled some up and stuck it in. It is too much. I can tell by the amount of dry hits I get while Vaping. From my research I knew where to put the coil but not the cotton. It made sense tho that it'd need to go over the hole lol.
Ill check the video out tonight and rewick it!

I do have one question though. It seems like sk....ing is difficult and it takes several squeezes to get the right amount of juice back up there. Could that be from the new bottle, an overly extended tube in the bottom of the bottle, or too much wick? Or all of some? LOL.

I'm still learning the new quirks here, but so far it's been a great device and a great Vape.

The first juice I ever loaded in it was NT's ACB and man does the reo bring out the caramel. LOVE.

You might want to pull off the door and look in the bottle and make sure that when sqounking, the tube isn't being suctioned to the bottom or side of the bottle. If the tube is suctioning to the bottle, remove the bottle and take a pair of scissors and cut an inverted v in the bottom of the tube. It should look like this "^" in the bottom. I didn't do the inverted v cut to mine, I just cut mine like a "V" and it still works. Also, you don't want wick to cover the juice feed hole, the side of the coil should be just right of the hole and you wanna see the juice feed hole so that when you squeeze the bottle it will bring juice to the deck and coil and the rest of the juice should be sucked back down the hole to your bottle. You might have too much wick blocking the juice feed hole making it harder to squeeze.

Did you run some wick thru the inside of the coil? If so, you only need cotton wicked through the coil and then cut the cotton sticking out the sides of the coil so that there's only like a few millimeters on wick exposed on each end.

Also, when you pull wick thru the coil make sure it's not too tight and moved freely back and forth thru the coil. That's a way to tell if you've used too much cotton for the wick.

^ good advice. I always cut the inverted V in mine before the first juice goes in em. We just did grandpas last night. Also, when the bottle gets to around the 1/2 way mark you'll have to squonk a lil longer

 

[Mrs C]

Yes the bottles can be a bit stiff at first, some more than others.
Another trick is pull your driptip while you squonk and watch the magic happen.
It will help you learn how long and how much pressure is needed.
It's especially helpful to see the changes as the juice level in your bottle drops.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Good advice. I'm new and just learning too. Welcome!
