Never thought I would go this far...

[rc10mike]

I started with a Blu in 2010, but quickly gave up because well...it sucked..then went back to analogs...

Slightly over a month ago I decided to give e-cigs another shot, this time I gave it some more thought, did some research, and decided to try the Volt. At first I was amazed, 10x better than the Blu, I finally felt like I could give up analogs. After a week I noticed it was annoying to fill carts all the time. I searched for "the best".

Found out about the Reo, but couldnt buy one since they were sold out. In the meantime I bought the Volt X2 battery with clearomizer. I was very impressed at first, but it was too big to carry around all the time.

Finally the Minis were in stock, so I grabbed one. When it arrived I was somewhat disappointed, it took some getting used to and learning, but now I love it!

Now, only after a week of use, the Mini might have to go, my Reo Grand will be here tomorrow, as well as 4 HH357 attys, followed shortly by the Kick which I just picked up from Super-T...

I cant believe I made it this far in only a month, the MASSIVE amount of info in this forum is amazing!

Hopefully, I can stop with a Kicked Grand!

(mini might be f/s soon)

Congratulations, fellow Jacksonvillian! You have certainly gone hog-wild with equipment! I'm just doing ego batteries but I have 7 of them loaded with different flavors in clearomizers...but I've gone hog-wild with JUICES! And starting DIY...ANYTHING but cigs!

Congratulations!

It only gets worse when you memorize your credit card info. Or spend your free time in the classifieds, I don't know why we need so manny mods, but I know I have 6 on my wish list rite now.

Thanks! I have to say though, with each purchase i get more and more excited, but I really need to just settle with the right hardware, then Ill be happy.

Thats the issue! I have mine memorized! I need to stop!

Now I have a bunch of barely used Volt gear I need to offload, but probably wont get much for

So, this is a bad thing? Never had it memorized until shopping at EC Blend.

Actually, Im glad I had it memorized, If I didnt, I wouldnt have been able to get the Kick, which sold out in 10 min or less...but they will be back on sale this Saturday 11 central/

I Never said it was a bad thing, as long as you don't spend your bill money lol.

Glad to hear you're doing the thing w/ the Reo and off of analogs!!!
I saw you got the Kick (been waiting) and so went to Super-T but they are out of stock already.
I need to buy one and a couple of 18490's (correct size right for the Reo?).

18490/18500 is correct. I ordered two of them from Super-T as well. They will sell the Kicks again this saturday.

 

[rc10mike]

I believe the Reo w/ Kick will be better than the VV Reo, simply because of its regulated output and low voltage cut-off. Only downside is you cant use 18650's

Okay, thanks- I can wait...in the meantime, I need to figure out the little block that goes in the top of the Grand to push the kick against the sidewall. Is there a Reonaut making these for others? I know this isn't the classies, but would like to know. Someone PM me please!!

The Kicks needs to ground against the case of the Reo, so you just need to sand off some anodizing to make the contact.

(thats what Ive read so far, but In my experience, anodizing doesn't prevent electrical conductivity)

 

[pianoguy]

Great to hear - the Grand with a Kick should be a great setup! I would suggest, though, that you keep at least some of your other gear - it is always important to have a backup. And if I had to choose between them, it would certainly be the Mini since atty's, cartos and some parts are interchangeable.

Congratulations, Mike! I'm so glad you found that "rhythm"....the tough part is that it is so hard to instruct someone how to use it with the written word, especially when each person's technique varies. But once you get it...its a smooth ride.

Congrats and welcome to REOvil!

 

[Jeann]

congrats and welcome!

 

[ltrainer]

You'll need some way to hold the Kick in place as it will move around in the Grand thus losing ground contact. Some people wire it, someone made a nice piece that sits atop the Kick and holds it in place, some modified an eraser. Some said they dropped it in and it worked (afte rremoving the anodizing) but that wasn't my experience. You have to have a tumbled raw Grand or remove the anodizing on the inside or wire it.

Congrats you made a smart choice sounds almost exactly like my story except I got the Grande 1st
