Oh Boy! Future VW Reo on the horizon?

[hildicat]

hot on the heals of the Reo VV's, evolve releases the dna 12.

Sure would be awesome to get variable wattage native on a Reo, powered by a single 18650, AND with an optional on board USB charging mount.
What d'ya say Rob?
(not that your VV's aren't AWESOME, just thinking about your next project)

I ordered a couple I can see a smaller vv unit for the little people in the making

You will make a whole lot of mini peeps very happy . Glad your wheels are turning

I wish I could slow them down just a whisker. There are to many mods to build and not enough time

Thats the problem with making something as awesome as the Reo! As far as Im concerned...if there was a YEAR waiting list to get a Grand VV or Mini VW/VV I would GLADLY wait that long!


Do what you can, when you can Robert...there is no rushing perfection!!

Always liked the idea of VW and what it offers. Will keep an eye out on any updates that's announced.

 

[SammyT]

We will be as patient as you need us to be Rob. Take a week, fly down to the beach, soak up some sun. Heck, stop up through auburn, my family has a great farm with an awesome B&B on it. I'll get you put up for free .

I'm actually still not enthusiastic about VV or VW at all... at least as a single feature of a PV. Until that feature is combined with a reliable feed system, it just isn't useful enough. I can see why others do appreciate it, but it's also really interesting to see how many people choose a VV device and then don't have other features they wanted.

Combined with a reliable feed system, it's a whole 'nuther story. I couldn't be much happier with my two newest PVs. Reliable and easy to use VV combined with reliable and easy to use feed creates unparallelled consistency.

I'm all for a smaller VV/VW REO if the battery life is good. Right now, I'm experiencing much bliss with all day juice supply and all day battery life. Taking a single device and no other vaping related supplies with me when I leave home is a real joy in and of itself.

So, what are you saying?
The new Reo should have an "Auto Squonk" feature?
Turn on "Auto Pilot," and it senses how wet the atty is and auto squonks for you....
Of course, for the more daring- you can turn all of the "Auto Navigation" off and use the "Manuel Mode!!" LOL

The newest Reo will also sense the atty's ohms, viscosity of the e-juice and will self-adjust to all parameters including ambient temperature, barometric pressure and atmospheric pressure ...

The future of the Reo- who knows?

Oh, and I want mine to have a solar panel on the sides to keep my battery charged!!

I sort of like the idea, but enjoy the ease and control of the current feed system... and there was (maybe still is, but no one really knows) a VV Feeder PV with automatic feed that was programmable. It came out and was immediately recalled never to be seen again.

Im pretty satisfied with the vv reo but If rob is goin to make this happen probably I cannot resist the itch to get more.

 

[sashwa]

Can someone explain to this dummy what the difference is between the VV and WV?

 

[SammyT]

Variable voltage regulates the voltage applied to an atomizer, from there you can adjust the vape by switching atomizers ohms.
Variable wattage regulates the voltage and measures the ohms and automatically adjusts voltage to produce the desired wattage.
For instance, if you have it set to 10 watts, and you put on a 1.5 ohm atty, it will automatically calcule what voltage it needs to supply to create 10 watts, and supply that voltage, and then you can screw on a 2.5 ohm atty and not have to adjust anything. It will supply you with a similar vape, but it does not factor in variables such as surface area of the coil etc.
I hope I made some sense

Reo and DNA, what a perfect cocktail, I'll sign for it !

Got it, Sam. Thanks for the explanation.

No prob

That was heart breaking. I had mine for two days and it was recalled. I hear its not a dead project, but only the maker knows.

Hey Rob,
I could see this being an awesome product offering with the main advantage being no stacked batteries. I was unable to get a VV Woodvil as I was out of the country when you had the last sale. I did try via a travel agents wifi but the pipe to the island is shared by all.
In any event, I decided to buy a buzz pro to get a better idea of what VV was all about. Using it for just the past couple of days I can say I love setting the hit for the juice and then having it maintain a consistent output. However, I hate that I have to manage multiple batteries. I travel a bit and already end up taking tons of batteries, tips, bottles, attys, cartos, chargers, etc. It would be really great to just have a small number of one big battery for the Woodvil/Grand platform and a few of a small battery for a Mini/Midi platform. Let the device decide what atty I brought or am able to scrounge up and adjust accordingly. This would be the ideal solution when traveling abroad as well. Swapping A1 for A2 on a daily basis to get balanced discharges and then remembering which way to start out after a charge is more than I want to do outside of my home.
Just my 2 cents and not a knock against a wonderful product offering. Actually in a round about way what I'm saying is I can see regulated REOs replacing most of my unregulated models. You've really hit it out of the park in adding VV to the game. I appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into making the REO the final destination for most seasoned vaping veterans. Brew

Meter those batts when you pull them out of your mod. You might find that they are not discharging unevenly.

mwa posted about this recently - he found that the batts were discharging evenly with his VV Woodville whereas previous experience he had with stacked series sets, he had found the top batt to discharge faster. I've read other people stating the same but have never understood how that was possible.

And, discharging evenly would be *normal* for a well matched pair of batteries. The battery with the lowest internal resistance in a series set will discharge faster than the other. If both have the same internal resistance, they should discharge evenly. Though I've read at least a dozen different people saying their top battery (no matter which battery is on top) discharges faster, I've taken those statements with a grain of salt because the behavior does not match what I learned in my very first electronics class back in the 80s. I can't think of a single factor that makes a PV is different than any other device that might use series batts.

@six: it defies what I know as well, but I have found this to be true to a degree while stacking 3v batteries. I can't think of a reason why, its just what I have found. I am so glad that the vv reo doesn't do that because I have a difficult time constantly metering batts. I have devised a system which will allow me to check the batteries without fiddling with a multimeter though, I will post pics when I get around to making it.
