i have a bottom feeder that i stopped using almost a year ago for many reasons, in my experience mech tubes and batteries need far less cleaning and upkeep, i was using 0.2Ω coils on the BF and needed to clean the battery terminals/batteries every 4 days or so to keep it performing without gaining to much VD, i could go atleast a month on tube mod without needing to clean and i dont get pitted battery terminals like i used to & i'm even vaping higher wattage now(0.15), at a guess i'd say the dif in cleaning is about 90%, and yes i used to use noalox and no i dont use it anymore
Also harder to change flavors, which I do regularly. With a mech or good regulated, just change between tanks/rda's, ready to vape next flavor. Of you only want to vape one flavor, or don't mind carrying around a separate mod for each flavor toy have going bottom feeders could be great, just not a setup for me. I like that I can carry around one mod and switch tanks
Still more involved then just swapping a tank

I honestly never tried Reo. I'm not sure why do I need it.
This Panzer stock was NOT the best vape I ever had. The Airflow was too tight and it was leaking a little. Long story short, I had my way with it. I drilled horizontal air holes 2.5 mm and drilled vertical holes to install 10 Gauge hypodermic needles 2.5 mm. The vape is great now and it no longer leaks.
Do not get me wrong. I do love my regular RDAs. That said, there is nothing like a REO!!
Like any RDA you learn just when to feed it. Whether you call it squonking or have to open a bottle and refill it. This one just happens to give RDA taste and plumes, with out having to open a bottle, making it safer for EDC (every day carry) especially when driving.
I have never had problems with it that I sometimes get with RDAs. It is next to impossible to over feed as when you release the bottle after saturating the wick is drawn back in to the bottle.
If you have a friend that owns one, borrow it, you will order one or at least put it on your short list to get a set up.
I'm not a cloud chaser, so I'm happy with my dark horse with dual stovetop coils for the rare occasion that I do want bigger cloud. My kayfun and aerotanks produce great flavor with the right coils built (Clapton on the kayfun, bvc on the kanger heads)

First time I ever liked a "show type" build... 24g.ka, 4 wrap then that section followed by another 4 wrap, dual coils coming in at .4....I shrimp you not, actually improved flavor! Usually a macro guy, this trumps macro's...
i
This one is going into the coil arsenal...fyi, got coils firing evenly, took a lots of work to do so, the one "coil" looks like poop still...gotta get back into "show coil" builds to sharpen skills... Would recommend GOOD airflow with this build(not because of hot build, because of coil length compared to stock airflow...apv user's would recommend ramping it up to 70w(with good airflow) For full flavor

Those type coils worked well back months ago when I first tried. Had kinda slow heat up time on my mech tubes, but on Sig 100 watt box should do really well. Will have to try this again soon.
Nice build!
F'in rocks!!! And with this build and Pino....im sailing

No doubt, literally no need for mechs(coming from a die hard mech rocker) this build just satisfies...apv's for now on...
I went to a new to me local B&M today and spoke with the owner. Pretty soon we were comparing coil wraps. It appears what I have been calling micro coils he calls nano?
5/64 or 3/32 is micro. 1/16 is nano. at around 1/32 is a super nano. I have some 1/32 dremel bits for these, but I prefer my micro coil builds so haven't done it in awhile. 1/8 is a macro coil... i don't really do these anymore either. My favorite builds are standard 24g micro coils.
So 1/32" ( 0.03125" ) is super nano then I guess what I did counts as super duper nano lol.
I wrapped on 24g Kanthal that's 0.02007" (that's just 0.00007" bigger than 1/50"

I combined two different builds for this and made a triple 32 gauge twisted wire sleeper coil (dual coil on one wire). 13/12 wraps for 1.2 ohms
(always build on my DNA...nice stable platform)
Here it is in action off the little istick...

Sorry for the coil being gunked up. Just built the coil yesterday and my juice made it like that lol. But anyways it's a single 6 wrap clapton with 24 gauge kanthal being the inner wire and the outer being 29 gauge kanthal. Came out to .52 ohms. Vapes nicely between 40 and 70 watts on my ipv3. Good flavor and decent vapor production. Also this is the most perfect clapton I've made to date! [emoji3]
