New to REO, need some advice!!!

[deadheadharry]

Hey guys,

Scroll to bottom for questions or read my full post

So I was told in a private message by some other member to come here, introduce myself and poke around.

First things first, I started vaping about 2 years ago and then stopped, went back to analogs for a year and now am serious about vaping. My problem with vaping was that, everything I tried was too inconvenient. I disliked dripping due to have to carry the bottles and such, didn't like the foam cartomizers because of burning/taste and then was extremely happy to try the CE-2 cartomizers which ended up being the biggest pain and waste of time/energy/money.

Now that I am getting back into e-cigs, I figured I would plunge in the $$ and buy a REO Grand because of the bottom feeding idea. I figure I will have the juice always with me, no dripping and ease of use. Now with my questions:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I smoke about 10 cigarettes a day, give or take. When I did vape and enjoy it, I was using an ego at 3.7 volts. Never saw a need to go to 6 or anything. So, if I want to stay at 3.7 volts on the REO Grand, should I get a low resistance atomizer? What is your favorite combo for the REO Grand?

2nd, what exactly is the deal with the 6ml bottles? Can I buy some on this forum that fit the REO? Does anyone on this specific board have ones to sell me?

3rd, I have read some methods but what works best with you? Squeeze a little, give a dry vape and then puff?

4th, does anyone have extra batteries, atomizers and bottles for sale? I will be happy to take some things off your hands as a newb!

Thank you and I will report back on my success!

Harrison

I'm new to Reo's myself... (Just bought one on the classifieds a few days ago and haven't gotten any attys yet to fire up!) so I can't answer all of your questions, bu I just wanted to tell you that Rob sells extra bottles on his website. http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?p...&category_id=3&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=9

(.65/bottle)

Good luck!

Edit: Drat! Someone posted before I finished typing.

1. My favorite atomizer for the REO Grand would be a Cisco 306 LR 2.0 atty:

LR306 Low Resistance Atomizer 2.0 ohm (Cisco Spec) - Avid Vaper

With an XL Delrin Drip tip:

XL306 Contoured LR306 Delrin® Drip Tip - Avid Vaper

LR is intended to be used to "simulate" high voltage vaping and so. I'm not to sure if you like that or not but the 2.0's is going to be comparable to something like 4.2V but it does give you a little kick.

One question. Did you use any low resistance atomizers or cartomizers with your ego? Just asking since, if you liked them then. Your going to love them now since your going to be dealing with a TRUE 3.7 device.

2. Well, you can get the 6ml bottles from here:
6 ml LDPE Squeezable Plastic Dropper Bottles #25 | eBay

25 of them for basically 11 bucks.

3. The method I use is something called the, "blind squonk". Which involves you taking a draw without pushing the button while lightly squeezing the bottle. When you feel some resistance or hear a gurgle. Then your good to go. Works excellent while driving or anything else for that matter. I find it extremely annoying to do it the other way and it never worked for me.

4. Your best bet would be Classifieds. Always somebody trying to get rid of something:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/classifieds-swaps/

Also remember to read this to find out who you should NOT buy from:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...egative-feedback-classified-transactions.html

I personally never buy anything off of classifieds but a lot of people here do. Just be careful and you should get a great deal if you look around long enough.

What Sterno and Washvap said. Being new to REO's my own self I have to say they are the most durable and fleixble mods I've used so far. You can throw pretty much anything, within reason, at them and they'll just keep on working the way they're supposed to.

Hey Harrison! The Grand is a great choice.

For batteries, charger, bottles, drip tips, and atomizers, you can look around at RTD Vapor.

If you prefer cartos, check out Crystal Clear Vaping. They have drip tips too, and small selection of juice.

A general rule of thumb for choosing the right resistance atty/carto is 1.5 - 1.8 ohm for tobacco flavors and 2.0 to 2.5 ohm for desert/fruit/sweet flavors. You'll have to experiment a bit to discover what works best for your tastes.

The AW IMR 18650 is the battery Rob recommends for the Grand and you shouldn't let the lower mAh dissuade you from using it.

If you decide to try 306 atomizers, I suggest starting out with a transparent drip tip so you can see your juice when you feed your atty. They vape wonderfully, but are less forgiving if you run them too dry or flood them.

Happy vaping.

Get the 2 atty and drip tip special instead of buying seperate Cisco LR306 Atomizer + Drip Tip Special - Avid Vaper

And choose the XL tip option, the other ones are too short. Longer one helps keep juice out of your mouth.

1.5ohm for tobacco flavors
1.8ohm for sweet tobacco flavors
2.0ohm for sweet/desert flavors

 

[deadheadharry]

Really? 2.0 Ohm for desert flavor huh? Why is that? I always have been a huge fan of desert flavor and I am always so shocked when I try different mods how things taste different. One time, it will be superb and then next device, I cough or it just tastes nasty.


I am digging that 2 atty drip special, thank you so much!!!

Atomizers and cartomizers do not have to cost so much. These sites have deals on them that are really good. And many of us like that they are good and will last. This is where I get all of mine.
Crystal Clear Vaping
BULK 901 801 Joye 510 and 306 atomizers

 

[deadheadharry]

Why a 306 vs a 510? I have used the 510LR before, but it always seemed to burn up or create too much heat.

Hi and welcome, everyone has given you great advice all I can add is I got bottles for the grand from Honeyville vapor. I think their having a 99 cent sale on their 6 ml sample bottles. So you can try new juice and stock up on bottles at the same time.

I receintly purchased a mini reo and I have to say ...that was the best investment I have ever made. I too had the same issues as you being the whole inconveinience of it all and went back to analogs for quite a while. I also hated any kind of cartos...burn tastes...yuck...but I tried a carto on my reo after watchig a video.

I work 12 hour days and nights at my job. My uniform consists of pants with cargo pockets. I was having trouble with the atties spilling a little liquid while jiggling around in my pocket ( I walk alot stairs ect). I tried the cartos and No spills ...very clean and the reo makes them work perfect. I am one happy camper!
