Chinook, I agree with the recommendation to get a dripping atomizer first. Get a small chambered rebuildable and learn how to build and tweak for flavor. I use an IGO S with a microcoil and cotton wick for vaping on the couch and flavor testing.

The Reo is what I use when on the move. It's virtually indestuctable, won't roll off the table if it falls over, and I love the form factor versus a light saber. You can tell when the wick needs to be rewetted by the flavor. I get three to six hits per squonk depending on the resistance of your coil, type of wick, how long you pull on it, etc. Squonking is a simple squeeze of the bottle which I do with my ring finger without changing my grip on the Reo. For anyone interested, there is an excellent Reo subforum in the Supplier section of ECF.

Thanks! I checked out REO's website. It looks like battery+atomizer will be about $200. It's a decent sized investment for vaping for me now. Are there any clones of it out there :)

Edit: Three to six hits per squonk is pretty reasonable... Initially, the shape of the battery looked "weird" to me but compared to the light sabers, it is more reasonable I think.

I haven't even started on my FVFRY4 bottle that I received from them. :facepalm:

Would going through 30ml hurt me in any way? I can stay away from it if needed, but don't think it's economical to ship back to them for an exchange..

I'll probably just write it off if anything.


MoV doesn't require you to send it back. I had an untouched bottle of FVF from a March 2013 order. I just gave them my order number and told them that I was willing to send it back. They told me not to worry about it. A new bottle of Sunday Morning has been packed and will be shipped tomorrow. That's some excellent and trusting customer service on MoV's part -- wonderful to see.

No clones. Reos are made by in the USA by Robert O'Neil. Build quality and customer service are far superior to the Chinese. Many Reos have been in use for several years with minimal maintenance so it is one of the least expensive APVs over time.

Well.. it's not a REO ... but the Vision Aurora BFT ( bottom feed tank ) does add a bottom feed system to a standard MOD and has had good reviews. GotVapes carries them for just under $26

I'd recommend checking for a blemished REO, these are discounted and the blemish may be very minor, and it doesn't affect performance.

No I can't tolerate any amount of perfuminess! From what I hear it there

Though TA is used in some purfume applications, their is nothing perfumey about TA, it lends an ashy/ smokey type element to juices. I've used it to compliment some Synthetic DIY Tobaccos, no more than ~2-2.5% is needed, too much TA or any other flavor isn't necessarily better.

Thanks! I assume that with this setup and also with REOs, one can just swap the juice tank half full with another tank to change flavors, right?

Here is one from boge, definately cheap under 40.00 but looks pretty good, like a bottom feeder MVP, only thing you'll have to find out is the size and how an rda might fit on it. A Phoenix would probably fit. It may be a viable option for your net with an rda

Easy to swap flavors with the Reo. Pull the bottle, blow juice from the tube back into bottle, throw new bottle in and go. I keep a bunch of 6 ml bottles filled and ready to go. Don't know about the Aurora.

That is really convenient! I got used to having 2-4 different juices in my T2 tanks. Sometimes I only take 3-4 vapes and then switch to a different tank and rotate back and forth. OK so to summarize, your REO set up can do these :)

1) Flavor as good as dripping
2) Dry burn with juice in the tank
3) Swap juices easily "on the go"
4) No leaks at any orientation
5) Easy coil build, wick alignment/placement etc.
6) Special massage feature that cures male pattern boldness :)

Basically yes! You can make it leak if you over squonk (easy to learn not to) or leave it in a very hot car and it will autofeed. You left out how well built it is. I've knocked over, dropped, bumped and banged, and buried my Reo in sawdust with no ill effects. They also hold their value well and can be sold easily in the classifieds should a person so choose. As a matter of fact there are a few in there today.

Do you think you might have the names reversed? You described Vita like GJ4 tastes and GJ4 like Vita. GJ4 has mild vanilla and tobacco that are each distinct (along with caramel). When it ages the tobacco comes out more. I liked it both ways, many prefer it aged. Vita has an eggy, custardy note that is sorta like vanilla but mysterious. It's actually from a unique french vanilla flavor they use.

Hey Jerms - you know by now my opinion is not to be trusted :2cool:, but I just retried both on a clean joye 306 lr at 9.5 watts and the GJ4 is definitely the custardy one (also completely without any caramel smell or taste), and the Vita is definitely a mild vanilla taste and smell. Maybe Nick switched my bottles?

Haha, I DO trust that your opinion is how your tasting them. Of course how we taste things depends on many factors: our set-up, how long we've been not smoking, yada yada.. we all have a unique brain and tounge. It could very well be that we taste these the same but interperet them different, but it's quite a coincidence that if we reverse those flavors, your description is much more in line to how most react to them. I wouldn't be surprised if they were mislabeled.

My money would actually be that they are mislabeled, because almost all people describe Vita as eggy or custardy instead of GJ4 that way.

For me, trying juices is the most enjoyable part of the hobby. Hardware is fun too, but mainly as a distraction when I have too much juice on hand so don't want to order more. Back and forth.. never a dull moment with vaping.

Jerms, I couldn't agree more. I'd also like to add that members like yourself, Billberst and Hangdude, just to name a few, provide great reviews and recommendations that make our hobby more enjoyable as well.

I've just written Steve about the two bottles I got last month. I'm literally vaping my first KFL tank of FVF RY4 at this time, and the second bottle is still sealed. I've asked what his plan is for International customers and have offered to send my bottles back in exchange for two more Southern Gentleman bottles.
 
Now that being said, I have found 1 out 100 that fits my pallet for a fine cigar, but it's not naturally extracted. It's an imitation flavor called "Cohiba" found in a small mall in Florida called (If Electronic Cigarettes) but I had to order it, and wait until they emailed me to let me know that I could come pick it up In Oviedo, Fl.

Not sure you will like it, but in my opinion MyFredomSmokes has some taste pipe and cigar flavors. Has anyone else tried these?
