Well, this nightmare this thankfully over. Mod came in yesterday afternoon. Just barely caught the postwoman too. She was already two houses past mine already when I had gotten home, so I took the pink slip she left on the door and walked over.
Unit's been performing great. Very pleased with it.
Currently using a Volcano brand 1.5 ohm 510 atty on it with some cheapo drip tip I got from primevaping. I've already managed to flood it once or twice, and holy ...., when these things flood, they flood! Popped the drip tip off to check it out and only the very tip of the atty bridge was peeping through a little lake of fluid!
I've noticed that there's a certain amount of fluid that never gets sucked back up from the cup if you do a "visual squonk". I have to be careful to stop JUST as the fluid appears in the breather holes, because the holes don't seem recessed enough to suck absolutely all of it back up. There's always a tiny drip of fluid in there.
Blind squonking never seems to release fluid into the catch cup, but it also seems like its far easier to flood doing it this way. Almost like the drip learning curve, except not as hard to figure out.
Very stoked though. Don't take it to the heart, but to be honest, I always thought you guys were total goons for worshiping these devices like they were the second coming of christ. The whole "reonaut" label, naming your mods, and taking pictures of your "Reo family", all struck me as very lame. But now, I can definitely see why people get so hyped on these mods.
Here's a picture of my lonely Reo with some equipment at work.
