    Did my very first 510 tube clean today :D Thank you @Eskie for the tips.

    I used a spare bottle and tube full of warm water, took off the rda, and squonked. I then realised why Eskie had mentioned the shower being a good place to do it :facepalm: It damn near squonked the roof ;)

    Loved mine. The only real downside was the battery door if you have to switch.batteries out alot. It wears out quick

    Curious as to what wire out on the dual. Only door issue on the single is making sure the screws are tight...

    Attach a 510 refill bottle, squirt water back and forth between the 2 bottles as much as you like. And voila: clean without the mess.
    Edit: one last step
    detach bottles & empty, attach sqounk bottle, sqounk few times into tissue to get rid of excess water.

    Arg... I can't remember the name, or who recommended it to me, either Bomastinator or Baditude, but there is a British made squonker that has finger notches, gun grip style, that I think fits the bill. Although iirc, it was a 21700, so I'm not sure if that is acceptable...

    @AngeNZ the tube could be cut, and might work. Worth a shot. I'll have to give it a go...
    The SQ?

    If you didn't know this already, your Reo does have a hot spring which functions like a fuse and drops the battery away from the positive contact in case of a short. You might want to purchase a few spare springs and maybe some other spare parts just for insurance. Reos are built to last but sometimes parts do wear out, get lost, etc.
    There was a subohm kit with replacement springs and insulators. I could never get one, that's why I sold mine. If you vape above 1 ohm you'll be fine. We were crazy stacking 18300 batteries in 2013 (?)... Cartos were 3 ohms and above.

    Weren’t me I suspect. I’m not british. I may have aped @Baditude though. Are you talking about the Jacvapor sandstorm? It’s a single 18650 mod. I’ve heard good things about it from several sources. It’s supposed to be quite well made and it has a DNA75(not c) in it which makes it less expensive.

    I have again the same problem... Too many devices in rotation, when I go pick one up to vape it's stale. As of late, when I finish using a squonker I rinse the atty, pull the wicking out and rinse the bottle before putting it onto the shelf. What do you do? Does it taste stale if you let a wicked RDA sit for 2 or 3 days?

    I never ever bothered with one as I understood that the Switch was horrible on the clones. I don't know if that has changed any since they were released though.
    I remember seeing discussions about that.I may be wrong,but i think i remember a few saying the clone with the wording painted in white was really bad,but the one that's engraved like the original was pretty decent.I have the engraved version,and didn't have any issues with the switch,but i also only used it a handful of times because i just don't like the size of it,so that could be why i never had switch problems haha.
