Heya there guys! I've been lurking in this forum for quite some time now, and I finally pulled the trigger on a Black Wrinkle LP Reo Grand last Friday. It shipped Monday, but unfortunately it was stuck in Scarborough for 3 days, so it got here today (Saturday) instead of the estimated delivery which was supposed to be Thursday. Needless to say, I'm just glad I finally have it in hand
.
I sent my top-fed Odin to Chowderhead a few weeks ago for surgery, and It's nice to be vaping it again, it's a solid atty for sure, especially on a Reo. I got it built with some dual tensioned micro coils (Super X style at that) coming in at .6 ohms with an AW 18650 2200, loaded it up with my adv, and it's been chucking right along. I'm waiting on my Deoxit Gold pen to come in, so the included vial of Noalox was nice to have, I put a little dab on the firing pin and spring, and so far I see no arcing, so it should get me by for a few days. I also cut an inverted V in the feed tube (albeit a bit butchered), but it didn't seem to be squonking well, so I took it back off and just cut it at a slant, so the bottom of the feed tube looks like a needle tip syringe. It seems to be filling up and draining pretty well now, at least to my untrained eyes.
Lastly, just a little bit about me, I've been vaping exclusively for about a year and a half now. I've went through the standard progression of gear, from pre-filled cartos/901's, egos, cheap China mods, a provari, mechs, and recently a regulated box mod. After trying tanks and gennies, I realized that they were not for me, so dripping has been my go-to for about half of the time I've been vaping. I've always loved the simplicity of a good mech and rda, so I figured a Reo would be the only logical "next step" for me.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, I've been lurking here long enough to know what you guys really want to see...PICTURES
