Im not a complete noob, I have used Blucigs (it's what got onto ecigs...after I stopped using it and was back on analogs for about a year, that's the only good thing I'll say about it), I ot my wife, myself and my father-in-law ego style kits and have used that for about a month, then I got my Reo. The learning curve as far as the use is concerned is pretty gentle I think I only swallowed about a mil of juice from over "squonking" (still sounds weird) j/k, but one you get that aspect down it's almost automatic, squeeze bottle till you see liquid or do big hitters blind squonk (I'm getting there...) and then vape. It did take a while to figure out not to pump the bottle, no I didn't read the instructions... Only thing I'm trying to figure out now is what to do when the atty well is full from over squonking, I've tried unscrewing the atty and then gently pumping the bottle, that kinda works. Sucking it up into the atty doesn't work because it just ends up in my mouth anyway.

I love this thing, I still haven't found a great atty/carto solution, but did find that a 306 2.5 atty isn't too bad considering the choices I have right now, an EMDC, Ego mega cartos(pain in the .... to fill and it leaks but great vapor), some 306 2.5ohm attys and some 306 1.7ohm attys. The 306 1.7ohm atty is way to finicky for me, I either got liquid in my mouth or a burnt taste from the filler in the wick (ruined two trying to take it out...) and every now and then a perfect hit... I have some boge 2ohm cartos on the way to try out so I have my fingers crossed on them, but only ordered a pack of 5, and they are sold out:(.

I really like the sturdiness of this thing, although I wish the battery cover had a latch or something to secure it, I'm paranoid I'm gonna lose it:(

I definitely need to order som lower nic juice, the 18mg juice is way to harsh for me, how can people use 24mg:blink:? I also need to stop ordering tobacco flavored juices, I'm not necessarily looking to replace the tobacco flavor but man are there any decently flavored ones:confused:. I did order some bob as from alien visions so here's hoping.

Hello Njto7 I think you find the boge carto will serve you well. If you over fill your atty you can remove it and blow out the extra juice into a napkin. Here is a link to some cartos that work great I run them on my grand I never get juice in my mouth . You need to master the long slow draw

Best thing to do is either wrap a piece of electrical/painters tape around the battery, leaving about a half inch extending out to use as a "handle" for removing the battery (that will also tighten the fit of the door so it won't rattle or come off easily). The alternative (the one I use) is to use a piece of thick ribbon the same way. That has the advantage of no sticky stuff on your battery.

Your atomizers need much less juice than what you're feeding to them.

Here's a visual aid:

See the coil wrapped around a piece of silica wick? You only want to feed just enough juice to soak your coil and wick. If juice leaks out of your atomizer into your reservoir, then you've fed more than the wick can absorb and you've flooded your atomizer.

Keep working on your blind squonk. Gently squeeze the bottle and gently draw on your atty without hitting the fire button. As soon as you feel and/or hear the slightest bit of resistance or gurgle, stop squonking and inhaling. You now have a perfectly juiced atomizer. Depending on how long and deep you inhale when you vape, it should be good for 3 to 5 drags before you need to squonk more juice to the atomizer.

As Rob says, you need to master the long, slow draw to avoid getting juice in your mouth.

Hope that helps.
