Hi

Got one! :D

The maker says: AW 14500's. Those are only 600 mAh batteries. I think I get about 3 hours run time on a battery but I have four and just keep them in rotation as I go along, so I've never exactly timed how long I get per battery. Flat tops aren't recommended.

You really can't sub ohm a battery like that. 14500's just don't have the capacity to do it. If it comes to non rebuildable attys my personal preference for the 14500 Mini is the Ikenvape I06 (306 type) at 1.8 ohms. 1.5 ohms can be a bit harsh/hot. And for me anyway above 2 ohms is just a "meh" experience.

Anything i should know about the reo 14500..?

Im gonna pick one up.. Atties, safe ohms on it.. Battery life

Ty cheers

I use to use the 1.5 atomizers on my Mini's. Now I use the RM2 with a 1.0-1.2 coil. It does cut battery life some.

The Mini REO is a tiny little thing but it will run my coils and put out clouds of vapor and flavor.

Use the AW IMR 14500 for the best performance.

Thanks dude!

Which one? I got the Mini, just got a Mini2 with a RM last week, and yesterday a black with copper vein door VV Grand - should be here the first of the week. :) Been stalking and pouncing in the classifieds but I gotta stop for... at least a month.

Being old skool and starting with attys I've always preferred the experience over anything else I have ever used. Almost all cartos tasted like vaping air to me. Clearos like a PT are ok, but light on flavor and the coils gunk quickly. The Vmod was my intro to liquid feed and for 50 bucks it pass my likability test as far as the concept goes. Anything else after that you can blame on racehorse. She practically forced me to buy her green Mini. lol Not a cloud chaser so I haven't stated playing with the RM yet.

VV grands are sleepers. Think about that time that black Buick regal with shiny rims was sitting next to you at a stop light and you were sitting in the passenger seat of your friends trans am. You don't pay any mind to that 3.8 turbo sign on the hood scoop and that little grand national logo on the fender doesn't ring any bells either. Just another old man in an old mans car that's all black.

Your friend guns it off the line and gets a slight jump then that black regal blows by you so fast you wondered what the hell was that and what just happened. You just got GNX'ed :)

That's the VV Grand experience. One simple 2 ohm coil and a world of possibilities just by turning the innocuous little wheel :)

You're gonna love that VV as much as I love mine. Your also gonna love the size of the bottle and bit of extra space under the hood to work with the bottle.

Great to have you here man. Now we just need muzichead too :)

I have two mini 14500's, They are a great, nice little mod. I use the AW 14500 IMR batts. For a regular atty I like the 1.5Ω, but I'm getting away from that. Currently I'm using the RM2 on them with 30g Kanthal, 7 wraps, at about 1.4 - 1.5 Ω. Will be trying the 29g wire when I get it. At any rate, for ohms, I stay above 1.2 on the 14500 batts.
Enjoy your Reos!

You know, I actually like the 14500 Mini more than the Mini2. I was expecting a big difference in run time with the 18490 battery but I find that's... not so much. The 14500 just looks sleek. The Mini2 is more like it's fat ugly cousin.

Before I get into trouble - I like them both. But if I get any more Mini's I want 14500's.

Ahhhhh, so YOU'RE the one that got her green mini! I had talked to her in the fall about maybe taking that off her hands, but didn't have funds at the time.

I've since gotten a green mini 14500 through trade though, and I love mine. I have a purple 14500 one as well! Both are awesome little work horses!

Not so sure I like the way you spelled YOU'RE in caps like that. And honest - I really live in Sheboygan.

I just snagged a 14500 with a few bats in the classies. Can't wait to get my hands on it. How big are the wells on these? I'm assuming a Chalice will fit?

It has a smaller drip well and the Chalice will not fit. The milled RM2 will fit. A lot of people use the Hornet also.
