Like a boss Alex - congrats on your new toy. Pics?
Better late than never!? BOOM
This thing is just absolutely killing it on flavor! I need to get a bigger atty so I can have more airflow, but I really love this.

Edit: those pictures were taken in my hotel room outside Boston. (I'm from right outside NYC, business trip.) Picked up the reo first thing this morning, and drove all day with it on the passenger's seat. I kept thinking to myself, "should I stop and build that thing or wait till I get to the hotel?" I ended up waiting, just built a coil and now I'm clouding up the room!

Niceee! Is that a strawnilla companion with that reo?

You can drill out your airhole a little bit. I don't have the RM2, but Ive read that its SS coated brass, so it should be a breeze to widen.

I started with the RM4 which has an AFC and can do single or duals and has great flavor and vapor...
I got a second reo and got the Odin BF by Loki labs, which is amazing and super easy to do dual coils on, or singles, and has AFC... I just ordered a second one to replace/swap with my RM4...

Also, check out CH's modified attys: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...plier-forum/581604-catfish-atty-mods-124.html

He does pretty much everything...

Love the look of you reo though...super shiny brass button too...Ive gotta clean mine up soon :)

With a reo, when you squeeze the bottle to bring the juice up, how do you know how hard to squeeze? Or how do you know when to stop squeezing? Are they safe if you Don't plan to sub ohm? I've never used a dripper but I know how to build a coil in my kayfun. Would coil builds be similar in a reo? I could have asked all this in the reo thread but I trust my nicoticket people :)

whoa, rule #1: never refer to squeezing the bottle as a squeeze, its called a SQUONK.. :)

Its pretty easy to squonk. At first, I took off the drip tip and watched the juice come up and then let go of the bottle and watched it drain out. It depends on how thick (higher VG takes longer)... and how much is in the bottle... But eventually, you can just picture/feel what is a good squonk. ;)

All new reo's come with sub-ohm, gold plated contacts, so you can go SO if you decide to eventually.
Edit: oh yea, and there is a collapsible spring, so if you do happen to have a short for some reason, the spring will collaplse, instead of you... :)

I found it easier to build and use a REO, rather than a kayfun, and I think most would agree that it is... basically you'd be doing the same thing...build coil, check ohms, pulse coil to get rid of hot legs, then wick, and squonk away!

Here's a video that might explain it better than I did, from dude on the Reo-subforum...all of his other videos are informative too.

I highly recommend getting one... I haven't used my kayfun since I got one and IMO, juice taste better in a dripper..

It's frenilla! I dispense out from a bigger bottle hence the no label, but that's the last time I will I guess since I can just go into the little reo bottles!

About the airflow, I actually added a second hole of equal size right to the left of the original. I like to watch the airhole during squonks, that's how I personally know when it's saturated..you see a little shimmer of juice and know when to release. I figured if the hole was any bigger, liquid might start to leak through it. So I added a second. I might do a third. Hits much better now though imho! I'm definitely going to pick up an odin (sp?)

Thank you! I'm all about flavor so I've curious about dripping but didn't know where to start. I'll check the video out and the reo threads as well. Maybe I'll be squonking one day soon!

Now you do :)

Squonking is sexy, btw. I admit it.

To be fair - you don't build your REO - just like you don't build your pro-thingy. You build your atty - and the RM2, at least, is easier than a Kayfun to build on :)

I want to try an Odin as everyone keeps raving about them - but haven't heard much about them in terms of flavor, just vapor?

Fwiw, I am hearing that the odin performs pretty much like a bottom feeding tobh. The people (like me) who come to a reo after using 22mm attys mostly find rm2 and the like to be a little restrictive in terms of coils and airflow.
I must say the flavor is probably better with the rm2, the small chamber is a huge advantage in that. But, I really like the overall performance of the odin form factor as seen in a couple rda's...for me the slightly less flavor is worth the trade for better airflow and more room for different coil builds and a juice well built in to the deck. I like vertical coils for tobh type attys and I probably don't have room for it in the rm2..
