No I never got around to buying the 30.00 reo clone always said I would but my Smokless owl seem to satisfy my

need to try squonking.........I would have got a reo clone probably if they mounted the firing button on the side

and not on the top. I am a big big fan of side fire buttons like a trigger finger thing......

I am glad to hear you made out great with your 2 reo clones....30.00 is a nice price for a mod.

I never could see going over 75.00 for a mod unless it was something really really special and I could not

find it for less.........

Don't you worry. I have 3 authentics purchased directly from rob.

My clones even made him some money. I wanted button caps. The clones had smaller diameter buttons. So I had to buy buttons and caps from him and drill some paint out of the hole to fit them.

While I was at it I got extras (pretty colors for the wife), picked up o-rings for atty mounting, milled (grinded) the catch cup, installed a solid neg contact, solid copper pos contact and fancy Italian squonk bottles.

I'm an EOE. :D

It's different if you buy used car as is then you have to accept a lost if it mess up a month or two later no matter what the cost..if they start selling use devices then there's gone be bigger issue.. no matter how much you spend or what you can afford..and even if you can or can't afford..saying if you was in your budget and brought a good device then it bring on concern if it mess up. cause you spent in your budget and still end up with a device that cost $100 and then seen that same device after you brought it at another store for $70..its still bothers you cause you in your budget.. and some lost are from quality over price when some have flaws. There was a Bach of cherry bombers that was bad and there was another box mod my friend had went through 3 times sent back to the store three times.. I believe it was the Jellyfish box mod. This where you depending on the warranty provided and hope it resolve..have anyone had a hard time with warranty???
The 1st time I read this post I didn't get it at all. Rereading it 4 more times later I still don't get it but I can say my mod was NOT bought used which makes your car analogy senseless.

I'm not the Trucker but I do live up the road from him.

I got that clone. Put a Velocity clone on and off to the races.

Turns out I don't like mechs anymore but the unit works fantastic.

I'm all done with Reo's and units like them but might try a regulated sqonker someday.

Hi coolerat------how have you been------been awhile since we seen each other at the vape shop.......

what is your current vape favorite mod/atomizer/juice ?

I went into that same vape shop you and I were in---and bought a Nautilus Mini just to play around with.

I already had the full size nautilus from march of 2014......but liked the looks of the mini.

I did not like the draw it was 2 tite....and so went to YouTube and watched videos.

I found out how to take off the base and remove the AFC control ring and then I drilled out all 4

holes to one eighth inch and put it back together with out the control ring and wow it is a lot nicer now.

I can lung hit this thing.......

There alot of Companies out there that make solid devices for good prices and there's some Companies that make so so devices for extreme over price..especially for the quality of the device.. Have you ever run across this..
Haha, when I started vaping in 2008, I had to order directly from China, only one choice of manual battery, 1 atomizer, 5 cartridges, 1 charger for $ 100.00. Use it one month give or take, broken, burned out atomizer.
No vendors here in America, I don't even think we could buy the juice.
You all are very lucky now.

What I do not like in this thread - it is attempts to make people believe that the best vaping experience is available only with expensive devices. Pure bullmanure. We are talking about power sources. That's it.
Too many lurkers are reading forum. Too bad if they decide vaping is out of their financial limits.
Exactly! And to add to what you've said- most of us started off vaping with nothing more than an eGo & it did just what it was meant to do- keeps us off cigarettes.

I don't ever see threads giving mad props to the devices that started it all. Instead we get threads like this putting down those "cheap" devices.

Cool to see a couple Central New York folks. I works in Syracuse for many years, before retiring and moving to Florida.
Currently, the Orange are getting their butts kicked by St. John's.

This explains it perfectly.........thanks so much 4 posting this...........hahahahahahahahah
Yes it does.

Both sides.

"I will never spend that much."
&
"I only buy (expensive) authentics."

Sad part: Neither side thinks it's them.

And it's only vaguely related to the thread topic... by a stretch...

Note 5!!![/QUOTE may not understand metaphor or analysis comparison and if you read it 4 times then its not comparable situation that doesn't make sense..and never said you brought you mode used..the passage spoke on many topics..so before spassing and tryng to make sense..try holding a debate without aggression..I'm not here to argue bout your mod or what you brought..this thread is to better understand industry, companies, newbie, advance and social vapor of knowledge. Better shopping knowledge, knowing the device, and there budget, as well as just joining the thread to hold conversation..if you wish you leave this thread You may do so..if not then move on to something else and help others..thank you and continue to vape on...

I personally don't understand people spending thousands of dollars on provari's and kabuki's and authentic kayfun sand titanium stuff when my Istick30w and nautilus mini's are clearly superior and cost maybe 50 bucks at most!
:pop:

You are an instigator, David! :D

That's the funny part.
For many those were enough to get away from the stinkies and yet there are stories 'bout people not beign able to quit with WAY better gear.
Maybe we have WAY too much to choose from now?
