Ready to take the Reo plunge.. any advice on best 1st set up?

[Stacy1]

Thanks Barbie. After reading so many posts from people who love their Reos, I cant wait to get it. This will be my first true mec and that worries me a little but I do plan on educating myself more before it gets here. I dont sub ohm so I should be ok. A huge thank you to everyone that has helped me make this purchase.

Damn. Maybe I need to rethink the copper vein. Black with red looks pretty good. Ahhhhh I hate shopping lol

Lol - you can always buy more doors - later. Or the other thing you do is: buy another Reo and swap doors. Or... lol

Stacy, the thing about a Reo is you can sub ohm it all they way down to about 0.2 ohms - but you don't have to. We have cloud chasers with the whopper attys. We also have tons of people happy with single coil builds on the RM2 at standard resistances too. Or any place in between.

And... you can even use it with stock 510 & 306 attys or even cartos. (Every so often I feel compelled to mention that those are still legitimate options.) A stock atty or carto is even a better experience on a Reo because it eliminates a lot of annoyances in the process.

A Reo can be a flexible thing. And it's bottom feeding mojo just makes any device you use better and more convenient. You'll see.

Ok. I sent an email to make sure I get the lp rm2 because I cant get it to come up regardless of the amount of items displayed. Thanks to all the comments I think I have everything I need in my cart. Ive got two of the springs, 4 spring screws just because they are so small and would be easy to lose, 2 bottles, one extra tube/cap kit, 2 each of the orings, and a button cover. Did I forget anything? Now all that's left to do is pick a color. I like the look of black wrinkle/ copper vein. Anyone here have the copper vein? And if so does it tarnish like copper or is it just paint

Hmmm... This should be the direct link to the LP RM2. http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?p...category_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3

Thanks. That one does show up but it doesn't have "2" in the title so I didn't know if that was the correct one or not. That's the one I snet an email in on inquiring about. Now that it's confirmed that that is the one I'm looking for, I can go ahead and submit the order instead of having to wait for a reply to the email. Thanks again for all the help.

DOH! Lol - I didn't realize that until I just loaded the page - again - and carefully read the product description. All of it this time even. That is the LP RM2, but for some reason the "2" is missing from the description. (HAAAYYYY ROB!!!)

If you notice, all the RM2's have the same body - because they all start as the same basic atty before they get converted for bottom feeding and/or milled to fit a standard profile Grand or not. And the price also locks it in as a RM2.

Just to be sure: You can always put a comment in your order when checking out that you ordered the LP RM2 but the web site wasn't being all that clear about the product description.

Rob changed the designation to help with the confusion.

Reomizer 2.0 for non-LP model REO's
Low Profile Reomizer for LP model REO's

They are the same atty EXCEPT the Low Profile is not milled and is a better fit on the LP REO's

Well then I agree - things are definitely more confusing.

It is done!!!! Hopefully for a little over the cost of a one month's supply of cigarettes, I just bought a lifetime membership to REOVILLE I went with the wrinkle black/metallic red. Ooooooohhhh I cant wait!!!!!!

 

[Stacy1]

two more questions and I'm going to leave you fine folks alone. Where is the best place to get good quality batteries, and I have an efest LUC charger for my mini 134 batteries that will charge two batteries at once, has a switch for .5/1.0amp charging capabilities. Will that charger work or do I have to buy a seperate one?

You are going to love it! Congrats! The metallic red is very sparkly, my wife has an all-red Mini, its beautiful.

That charger will be fine. RTD vapor is the most highly recommended seller of batteries. You want to get AW IMR18650's, the 1600mAh ones are preferred. The 2000mAh ones will work too, but try to get the 1600mAh ones.

ETA: AW IMR 18650 3.7v 1600mAh - RTD vapor

Authentic AW Batteries - RTD Vapor is a really good place to get batteries.

Hmmm... Do you know which model LUC it is? Is it a 4 bay version? Reason I'm asking is there have been a couple bad chargers put out by eFest that definitely need to be avoided. I just want to make sure it isn't one of those models. The rest of them are ok. If you have a meter you can just check this out yourself: pull your batteries off the charger as close to the end of the charge cycle as possible and check the battery voltage. If your LUC is not over charging above 4.2 volts you have an ok version.

Badderies? A lot of us use RTD Vapor because you can trust them to be providing the real things. Best general choice for an 18650 is the AW 1600 mAh.

Good deal. Went to link and they had them in stock. I am a broke but happy woman now lol. I only ordered two batteries. Do they last a good while before needing to be charged?

That, right there. That is the right attitude. You're going to fit in just fine, Stacy.

You're also going to love that colour combo. The black wrinkle is excellent for pairing with just about any door - the metallic red is awesome, pretty much any other you get in the future (and you will) will work, too.

The charger I have is only two bays. I will look and see if it has model number on it somewhere. I ordered my mini 134 from a B and M out in California and the guy was a real pleasure to deal with so I ended up getting everything I needed at the time from him in a package he put together for me. He said it wasn't the charger that came with any kit he sold, but an upgraded version. I think I paid around thirty bucks for it.

 

[Stacy1]

There is no model number on the charger body itself, but on the wall plug it has a model number.HXY-120V1000A. On the charger body it says RoHS made in china by Shenzhanfest CO.Ltd LCD universal charger.

A rough guesstimate is 4 to 5ml of ejuice per battery change. Two batteries will keep you going well enough, see how you go and you can always order more at a later stage if you feel the need. I'd say your all set and ready to stalk the mailman

Can you cross reference it to the images here? Batteries and chargers This is also your source to find out the real dirt on chargers. Dude knows what he is doing when it comes to testing.

As I said, if you have a meter with leads on it - always a good thing to have here - the best thing to do is check the voltage of your batteries coming off the charger to make sure the charger is not behaving badly. A charger putting batteries above 4.2 volts is a charger that will shorten the life of the batteries. All chargers should be periodically checked in this way to make sure they are operating properly.

As far as your AW's go... Since you won't be building really low resistance coils you should easily get 8 hours run time off one of those batteries, most likely all day even.
