Since Meg PM'd you a link I will just drop this here:

A picture, or screenshot in this case, is worth a thousand words. . . :D

And, it wasn't so long ago that there were only a handful of us using them.

I did some reading on the Reo. Looks like a very nice box mod and reasonably priced.

I do have some questions though:

Squeezing the bottle delivers juice to the Atty? So, it basically is dripping? Squonking is the act of squeezing the bottle? (lol bear with me here hahahaha)

What Atties are compatible (recommended) with this mod?

Rebuilding coils = something I can't do. I have JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - have been living with this autoimmune loveliness since I was little) My hands are pretty useless some days and at best the small wires, tools etc. would be frustratingly impossible. It's the reason I'm currently starting to hoard Nautilus tanks and coils :lol: Are RDA the only option?

How is the Reo mod vs. Provari in performance, ease of use etc?

Sorry for all the questions - I'd really like another mod and was pretty much set on another provari ... Until now!!! lol

Also - vs iTaste? Or other box mods? I like the look, shape, size of the Reo Grand - and the color options are -yay- lol

You could use cartos. All the squonking, none of the coil building.

Yep, exactly! I would be happy to make coils for you but getting them in the RM2 and wicked would be a problem. Head over to the Reo subforum and there are a bunch of great folks who can guide you through this! And yes, squonking (the act of squeezing the bottle to push juice into your atty of choice) is dripping without needing to drip as all those dripping atties would need coils and wicks built and applied.

I feel very good about the carto option for you! :thumb:

Thanks for the advice guys! A carto tank is as easy as it gets. My sister was using them and I thought they tasted really good.

That said (and change of topic) I watched a bunch of YouTube vids tonight and saw a bunch on rebuilding the Nautilus coils. It looked surprisingly easy.
So much so, I'm going to get supplies and give it a try.

If I can do that, it's quite possible I've only told myself "I can't do that" and in reality I can rebuild an RBA or RDA.

One of the best parts of vaping to me used to be the hobby aspect. When I lost that part is when I got bored, and started slipping.

I feel a bad case of hobby fever and the only cure is more cowbell...errrr..
toys, I mean more toys! Hahahaha lol :)

It's what Reo users did before the days of BF attys like the RM2, etc.
RA is definitely a BUMMER!!:( Some vendors offer pre-wound coils of varying impedance (ohms), but it can be kinda hit-or-miss...
Me...I wouldn't hesitate to grab a Reo....the carto probably won't perform as well as an RDA, but the ease of squonking vs dripping is worth it, IMHO..... Good Luck!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

I must be strange, Virus just didn't do much for me. Pleasant, yeah, good, yup, but "astounding"? Eh, sorry. I tried it right out of the mailbox, and then let it sit about six weeks, but...

Now, GCD, that's a whole nother story! I'll be putting in my third order for it this week. This is just one incredible vape! I was NEVER a bakery fan, but this converted me. My only nitpick with it is that I want it at 24MG. I'll still order it as is, but I'm curious why 24mg is not an option. Kent, you need to do some 24s for us degenerates!

We need to get you an Igo-W or something to drip on - you'll forget that 24mg on the quick.

We did one liter of Wakonda in 24mg and it was kind-of a flop... it didn't move nearly as well as we hoped, probably because the super-high nic vapers just know we don't do anything above 18mg, unsure...

I vape 18mg. I still bump back up to 24 sometimes.
It seems like most here have tapered down a lot?
Probably a question for a new thread - but... Why? Should that be a goal? Lower my nic level? I've been vaping for over 5 years (totally quit an almost two pack a day looooong time habit the day I started vaping - only had 2 very minor relapses - was headed for another...) But - it's making me stop to think now...

Did you guys start vaping at low nic levels? Did you bump down?

I was on 24 for a week.
18 for maybe 2-3 weeks.
12 for a couple months
6mg (or less) ever since a started dripping. I still tank 12 in one device (Kayfun or Russian 91%)

If you're game to try rebuilding a Nautilus, a Reo with a rm2 or igo-w may work for you. Get one of those artistic wire coil winding gizmos or have some of us make you some coils with a little larger diameter, learn to wick them, find a way to insert the wires in the post holes, and you'll be good to go. :evil:

I wanted a little dripper so I could taste juice. The guy at the shop tried to talking me into an RDA and I told him no it was too complicated. A week later I bought a mech and had him teach me to make coils. It really is easy but I don't have RA. You can try it and if you can't get them done on a bad day have a carto for a back up.

Hello!
I've been lurking for a while - reading through hilarious thread after thread and I suddenly felt compelled to pop out and post.

I left ECF a few years ago and on my never ending quest to find something delicious to vape I landed here.

I am still waiting impatiently for my first Nico-package. This morning something very strange happened to me. I woke up, made my coffee and was hit with a compulsive need to place another order. What is this Strawnilla and Frenilla that site unseen (or unvaped) made me order it??

I was dubious when I placed my first order - still kinda am... Yet, I ordered 2 more bottles?

What have I done!? I've not only ordered a whole bunch of juice, I'm posting now too!!?

Should I be worried?
Thank you in advance for any guidance, information etc.
