jweavers; just an observation here. In your last post you mention getting a RM2 fitted for a mini. Done that. I carry a 14500 mini and a 2.1 mini to work everyday. It is my opinion the 2.1 is an upgraded version of the mini. The larger battery makes it though the 12- 16 days and your rba does not have to be modified. I believe the mini 2.1 is better, though I keep the old mini around too !

Okay,
I'm officially dripping in guilt!I simply cannot remember the last time I dropped this much dough on myself.Boatman, I was able to find the charger you suggested and the batteries at sweetvapes so that is taken care of.Now I will just sit back,and......wait.Yes the waiting game.We all know how it is.
I even ordered a fancy drip tip-never done that before!I will be the only one who sees it!What has come over me?
I want to thank everyone who put in their opinions and advise.It matters....and it helps.

I hear ya... I'm looking to get one and my order total is already $200+ :unsure:

Thankfully I have an amazing fiance that has no problem with me making this purchase.

I remember vaguely :) that it didn't even take me a month to spend that much on regular cigarettes.

That's true for me as well.
But it's been awhile since I spent that money,THAT way.
My husband still smokes everyday,but not like I did and he sneaks his in.Five bucks here,five bucks there.
I'm like,gotta get this juice while it's on sale,gotta have this mod because my other broke.I told him this would be it for awhile,and hopefully,it will be!
Well,except the reomizer in the near future.

Seems like every week I'm saying "Okay, I shouldn't need to buy anything else for a while" I actually am beginning to believe this will truly be the case with a Reo.

Just for future planning, you can save a TON by switching to unflavored nic base. I get an entire litre of 24mg nic (roughly 166 refills for the grand) for around $43.00 plus shipping.

"Look, honey, I've spent $0.00 on vaping in the last 3 months" (as you exhale huge plumes of vapor) ;)

I saw that on some other posts.I've never tried the unflavored nic base myself,but you all have me interested in trying it.I am a little sensitive to all the flavorings and the juice I use now is very...light,.It's 100percent pg,thin,very little color.I keep trying other flavors but always end up back with this one.I should be set for awhile as I just ordered a ton of juice,but I'm going to look into what you are saying about the unflavored base.Someone had mentioned Wizard's something or another,can't remember right now,as being good,also unflavored nic base.

THAT's where you can really save some money. By mixing your own juice. Even if you don't want to vape the unflavored, buying the nic base in bulk then just adding flavoring to it is W-A-A-A-Y cheaper than buying pre-mixed. DIYing my own juice is the single biggest way I save money. And it's so very easy.....and fun. That certainly might be something you will want to look into one of these days.

I believe you are correct.I spend alot of money on juice.I go through around 120ml mol per month.It would be very nice to have this dependable reo that is coming and have a chance to enjoy not having to always mess with equipment-at least for awhile.It may free up my time to focus on juice.

I really like the flowers on yours,it's pretty.I'm kinda excited about my reo that I picked.I so hope it is everything and then some.

I tried to pick out some of the extras that have been mentioned in other posts.The 510 to 510 adapter that I purchased I'm not sure about but I guessed it would be good to have to protect the reo from shorting if the center pin everyone talks about on certain attys is a problem on my vmod atty's.I hope that's the case.I guess I don't have to use it with the ones I ordered off his site.I did notice on one thread where they showed a picture of the center posts that would work and some that might hurt the reo.Seems like it needs to be very low profile.I guess I'll know more once I get it.

I still cannot understand how any ex- non menthol smoker could like anything BUT unflavored nic base.

I'm not vaping it for budget reasons - I'd still vape only it even if it were the same cost as the flavored varieties. It is the same as a Marlboro light to me.

Our community pool is open now. Last year this time I was a pack and a half a day smoker. Damn a lot has changed in just under 9 months.

Life is good.

That's the thing, Russ. As an ex- non menthol smoker of 25 years, I could tell you that now, a Marlboro tastes horrible to me. As in, I can't finish more than 1/4 of it when I try to (I tried for purposes of mixing marlboro tasting juice for my wife). Give me my foo-foo strawberry cheesecake over ashtray any day :)

Provided, you're wrong twice. Nic base does not taste like Marlboro. To me, it tastes like very slightly peppery nothing.

Don't compare your slightly peppery nothing to my delicious Orange chocolate!

:vapor:

i thought banana might be ok - but my god it takes on a life of it's own! I had to vape thru a bottle of it just so i could mix something else in it to knock it down a bit!

And 2 more bottles of ry4 - to get rid of the taste anyway. Only bacon flavour was more dismal. As soon as i get my new flavours i'm mixing recipes friends have sent me - that i have already tried.

Orange sounds ok, but plain liquid has only one advantage as far as i can see, it doesn't clog coils.

BTW 2.1 is better than the 2.0! But a grand is the best! :p
