Readying myself for the arrival of my new Grand..any other suggestions?

[ego-sum-deus]

Hey everyone,
So I just did some mini shopping to prepare for the arrival of my Grand. Here are the three things that I have coming in the next couple days:

1) red with black door Grand, 5 6ml bottles, and a button cover
2) Cisco 1.5 ohm 510 atomizer: Cisco LR510 Two Atomizer + Drip Tip Special - Avid Vaper
3) AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh battery: https://www.rtdvapor.com/online-store/batteries/aw-imr-18650-3-7v-2000mah-detail
4) Short acrylic drip tip: http://www.avidvaper.com/short-contoured-twisted-acrylic-drip-tip/

I'm not ready to do a rebuildable quite yet, and already have a nice xtar WP2 II charger. Also, I know that the 2000 mAh battery doesn't holding an as high voltage throughout the usage but I decided to go with it anyways since it will work well with my other mods and figured it won't be a problem fitting into the Grand (only about 1 mm taller than the 1600 mAh). So, with that, any other suggestions for things to pick up?

Looks like you have most things covered. I would suggest perhaps some lower nic juice to work on when you first get your REO. It is not uncommon that you focus on your REO and "hyper vape" as some would call it. It is easy to go overboard and give yourself a little headache.

I'm also guessing you probably already have a multimeter on hand. While it isn't necessary to have, it certainly helps troubleshooting if you run into any difficulties.

Haha, that's an excellent point. I actually never thought about lowering my nic levels with this thing. I can definitely see myself going into an "enhanced nic state" the first couple days. Also, yes, I already have a multimeter...another really good suggestion.

Hope you got the button cover from Rob, it really makes a difference after vaping a while. My thumb and fingers thanking me for that.

Did you order just one battery? I think two would be the bare minimum and 3 would be better. A spare spring for the Grand is nice insurance to have as well.

Agreed. A couple more batteries, button cover, spare spring and also a spare bottle & tube

So, I forgot to mention what my order from Rob consisted of: red with black door Grand, 5 6ml bottles, and a button cover. As for the battery, yes, I ordered 2. Good looking out!

I think in a couple weeks after I get some more money, I'm going to get a repair kit (maybe 2).

Ha. You probably won't need that....these things are BUILT to last. But I certainly understand wanting backups....and backups for your backups. Instead of a repair kit, I just bought another REO....just in case, you know. LOL

Once you get going on it, you'll feel more confident that nothing is going to go wrong with it. It will last and last. Since it's all mechanical, there's very little TO go wrong on it. IF you have a short, you just (usually) replace the spring and jump right back in.

Oh, definitely. It's not because I don't have confidence in the Reo, its more of a "just have some extra parts" kind of thing. You mentioned just having other Reos, which to be honest, when I get my tax return, that may be happening haha (I've been eyeing the black with purple door mini).

Spares you should have:

> 3 AW IMR batteries

> Bottle and tube kit x 2

> Extra bottles

> Spare springs x 3

> Reo Rebuild Kit

> Delrin Button

> rubber O ring

You probably won't use these extras for some time. I had the same question before I got my reo. These are the things I got when I got my grand.

+1 on the extra 6ml bottles. I have enough so that I only fill them once a week. The rest of the time, the routine is: Put in fresh battery in the morning (regardless of usage), *sometimes* a fresh battery around 9:00 pm if it's gonna be a late night, and fresh juice about every day and a half (I also change the bat when I change juice, just because I have to take it out to change the bottle).

Have you all noticed that the juice in the bottles gets quite runny as you vape away? i don't yet have enough bottles to play with, I'm often dumping one flavor out in order to try another. My guess is that the heated rba internals heat up the juice a bit, as i squeeze it into the rba & then it flows back down.

In a perfect world I'd like to see a check valve that lets me squeeze the bottle & what I squeeze stays in place. This way my wicks would stay moist & no juice would flow back into the bottle.
