    Since cell phones, laptops and tablets all use the same/similar battery tech, they should also be banned, yes?!

    Hell, even lawnmowers now!
    Power+ 21" Lawn Mower
    Wonders if joyetech makes it :lol:

    Are they going to want to confiscate the lil flashlight from my keychain?

    Time to get out the ole SD Keyrings I guess.

    Reosmods.com He doesn't always have all the blems up on the site. If you go to the bottom of the site, there is a contact us button with the phone number to call him....he answers himself and loves to talk to folks about Reos. Or you can email. I think it's reo@reosmods.com Ask him about budget devices etc.
    Thank you, Deb. After asking for the link, I was getting caught up on the Back Porch and saw someone, I can't remember who, had a REO signature line and now have the link saved. Dang, as my daddy would say, he is proud of his handiwork. I'm not sure I could afford even a blemished mod. Until then, I am really enjoying squonking on a budget with this Kanger Dripmod.

    Thank you for posting this, Tutu! The last time I wrote to a VA Senator, I got exactly nowhere; his office sent back a "blah blah bs" email, thanking me for reaching out and telling me about his (unrelated) interests. I'm now also going to write to Senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Marco Rubio (R- FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX). This is an election year; they may be interested :).
    As far as I know Cruz supports vaping. Cornyn on the other hand is a big feather blowing in the wind.

    Confiscation-ating at da air port. I hate that there is absolutely NO option to have it shipped to where you are going or even home. Sorry but I think that's theft.
    We are human. We forget. Thanks to a great guard in Slovakia I was allowed to walk back to the luggage area and put a pocket knife I forgot about into my luggage.
    I tried to board a flight about 30 years ago with handcuffs in my purse. A work related thingie. They let me go back & put them in my garment bag.

    I opened one of the other starter kits my husband bought, and decided to try the 1.02 atomizer instead of the point 5. I am getting lots of vapour, but it doesn't feel like I'm vaping anything. Should I kick the nicotine up? I guess over 1 is no longer sub ohm, maybe? And back up to 18 instead of 6 or is that too far up?

    Although there's a sweet spot for coil resistance and voltage, you can get a good vape at most any workable resistance. Wattage mode will adjust the voltage to maintain the vape. Then, there's the heat flux calculation. Wire gauge, number of turns, and coil diameter will change the contact footprint of the coil on the wick and make a difference in the vape.

    I felt that way while transitioning down from 24mg to 18mg to 12mg to 6mg to 3mg. There was no withdrawal backlash from the lowered nic, just a lowered nic hit that I got used to gradually.

    That said, when I tried to drop to 0 nic it was bland, so I went back to 3mg and stayed there. You eventually get used to the small burn of low nic. Stay there for a month and it will seem normal.

    I order juice in one month supplies, so I got to drop nic slowly and it was easy to get used to the new nic level. Been at 3mg for over a year now.

    I'm not yet trying to lower my nicotine levels, I'm just staying off tobacco. I'm ordering every 2 weeks, but takes longer to get to Australia, so I don't receive it every two weeks. Think I'll up the Nic in small increments, till I hit the right level. I can also swap it out for the .5 atomizer, it takes either. I may find that sub ohm just suits better.
    Going to buy in ready to use strengths as well, my 0% menthol base doesn't taste good with everything. More expensive, but until I find my fit, much easier to determine what I like. I'm not really a hobbyist, just staying off smokes for now will do. Don't have adjustable wattage or voltage on mine, so I'm stuck with fiddling with flavours and strength changes only. a vw with safety features, is high on my priority list. But with the kits running over 100$ aud, I'm 4 to 6 weeks away from ordering. No diy for me. Lowering nicotine worries I'm not ready for yet. Nor learning the finer points of how it works. I need one with an on off switch that I can turn up or down, without really understanding how it works. I've been told there are such to be had. So I hope.

    IIRC, your device somehow adjusts power with the airflow? If so, perhaps trying some different settings on that may help.

    If it's truly a fixed voltage source, then the higher resistance coil will be running at a lower wattage, so giving a less "substantial" vape. Smaller cloud (although maybe not much), less TH (throat hit.) Upping the nic will restore some of that TH, but depending on your nic needs, may be too much. If you've vaped at 18 before with no over-nic issues, that may help.

    yeah he is.....but they're made in USA, will last longer than you do, you literally can't kill these things. One guy found his in the road, it had been run over several times..... the door wouldn't go back on.....but he cleaned it up and it vaped just fine! Not sure if he had to replace the atty or not, but the reo worked! The door had just come off and gotten bent. He'd put it on top of his car so he could put stuff in the car......forgot it and pulled out. It fell off when he turned onto the road. I'll gladly pay for something like that than 30.00 or 50.00 for something that will die in a few years or break sooner. He has a CNC that makes the mod body and doors, but the 510's he presses in, contacts, springs, delrin cover etc are all put in by hand.

    I tried to board a flight about 30 years ago with handcuffs in my purse. A work related thingie. They let me go back & put them in my garment bag.
    wow, they thought you were gonna take over the whole plane with one pr of handcuffs? Or cuff yourself to the seat and demand to be taken to Hawaii?? hehehe

    I would definitely up the nic. To avoid having to buy tons of nic levels, I would get a 24mg and a 6 mg of the same flavor. If you add equal amts of 24 and 6 in a tank, that will give you 15mg. 24+6=30mg divided by two = 15mg. You can add more of the 24 and less of the 6 to make it higher if you want. Someone else will have to do that math. or you may end up liking the 24 mg. I doubt you'd want to go lower than 6 with above a 1 ohm coil.

    @Vape? Yes, raise your nic level. 1.0 & up is no longer sub ohm, & you use more nic, lower power, & go thru less juice, & still get good vapor. Are you still smoking any or strictly vaping? You can raise your nic as far as you need to satisfy that craving, but 18 to 24 mg is usually enough.

    vape?. Why do you need a kit? Most mods have a 510 connection, most tanks use a 510 connection so they're interchangeable. Just need a way to charge the mod. If it takes a usb charge you need a usb cable. If it has batts, you need batts and a charger. You can find vv/vw mods for under $30 (US). Just because a kit comes with a tank doesn't mean you have to use that tank exclusively.

    I've already sent Cornyn and and got the opportunity to vote against Sessions in the recent primary, he still won.....I've told 'em both they could KMA from now on.
    I got the required Non-commital form letter response from Cruz, but it at least was 'personalized' enough to be able to suspect that it may have actually been read (not by Cruz, of course).
    My plan at this point is if they are in Washington now, they need to be gone. Sick Of Business As Usual In Wastington! Govment By The Money And For The Money Has Got To Stop!

    That reminds me of a story. I got set up on a blind date with this gal that had a great bod but she looked like a frog but with enough booze you become blind. We were doing the dirty and in the middle she said "Spank me spank my little ....". My first experience and last with that but I tried to oblige her just couldn't get into it.

    I completely agree.......but it aint gonna happen unfortunately! If you did get an honest man in there, they'd either corrupt him, or trump up garbage on him and boot him out!
