I recently got my 1st Reo LP/SL. It is great. I was a little skeptical in the beginning but I have since drilled the air hole a little larger on the lp rm2 and it is vaping great. I am a lung vaper and the draw was a little tight initially. I am saving my best juice until I get better cotton, probably Monday. I am considering getting the Odin - RDA - Bottom Feeder. Super X can't say enough good things about it and I eventually want to start building dual coils. I am thankful for all the help that I have gotten on here, and that I found there Reo fairly quickly without spending too much money on other inferior PVs. I love my Reo and I am sure you will too. Now I just need to find a good cheap juice since I am going through a lot. Here is a bad pic of my baby. I will have to take more pics tomorrow.

I have a MVP2 that checks ohms on my builds. For the forty bucks I paid for it, it has been an awesome device!

Perfect! That will work. If your charger looks like this one it will work fine. You're all set then. The friendly folks here will walk you through any questions you have when you start building a coil, do not worry, there is plenty of help right here.

Looks AWESOME!!! Have you considered doing DIY juice? I've only been vaping since june, but I found I liked the gourmet expensive juices a little too much for my wallet so I took the plunge and started making my own. It's alot cheaper once you get over the initial mentality of thinking you need to order every single flavor made, and it's very simple to do. There are some amazing recipes here on ECF and it doesn't take long before you're mixing up your own creations. Congrats on your REO.

Not yet. I will have to check out those recipes. I was thinking of ordering a big bottle of unflavored juice to start and just adding different flavors to little bottles, less for me to mess up. Thanks.

That's what you do. When you get started the worst mistake you can make is trying to work up over-complicated multi-flavor recipes. Get to know your flavorings one at a time before you delve into the complications of what percentage of this is gonna work with how much of that.

charger efest LUC is the one I have. Its like 12 or 13 down the list. I do not have a meter but after reading your posts I will be getting one. The idea of getting away from regulated devices already makes me nervous, so anything I can do to mitigate any risks is worth investing in

You mean this one? => Review of Charger Efest LUC

As far as the design goes, that one checks out as a good one. :)

We aren't trying to make you paranoid here. But a basic volt/ohm meter is a good thing to have in general, more so when you use mechanicals.

One thing you will need to get adjusted to is: Just how low are you running your batteries? For most people there is a definite "loss of feel" when your vape performance just drops off, telling you it's time to recharge. You may not get that right at first, possibly running the batteries under voltage. With the AW's you selected you aren't at risk for anything dangerous happening should that occur, but you want to avoid doing that as it will shorten the battery life if you do it on a regular basis. Down to 2.5 volts is ok for most IMR chemistry batteries, including the AW's you purchased. Chances are you will notice the performance drop-off long before you get close to 2.5 volts.

Got a Harbor Freight Tools nearby? They run a coupon - often - for a free $10.00 meter. It's fine for checking battery voltage and troubleshooting for shorts, but they are way off measuring resistance in the very low range we use. One of your existing APV's would do a better job for resistance checks on your Reomizer builds. But as a free meter for checking "everything else" - go get one if you have the chance. If you google search for "free Harbor Freight multimeter coupon" you can easily find a current coupon when they are available.

I have not been able to figure out how to post pics on this site. I even had another member pm me on how to do it shortly after I joined and I could not get it to work for me. Im at work on the graveyard shift for another hour but when I get home I will try again. I am definitely wanting to show this beauty off. Its like having a new sports car in the garage but cant get the damn garage to open for people to see it:facepalm:

The easiest way to load a pic is use photobucket. Copy the direct link to the pic on photobucket and insert in your post like this:

where "direct link link to pic here" is the web address.

If the web address were "http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa160/birdy81260/Bert1970s_zps3f02fa14.jpg"

Then when I put that web address inside the
bits it just comes up as the pic, for example:


Bert1970s_zps3f02fa14.jpg


This is what Bert looks like when the Reo is not in his hand.

Or when his pics don't turn out right in his posts...

Ive never used photobucket but I have uploaded some pics in the past on use.com. I didnt think about that but it should work. Im an idiot when it comes to computers so I will go ahead and apologize in advance in case my picture ends up posting as a link, or too big etc... but I'm gonna try to post from there when I get home. Thanks:D
