Reo grand opening help long post

[Kiznar]

Hello I bought my reo grand in the classified used.I'm having a problem with taste my juice taste off or bad. I loved the taste on the nuppin however if started to taste off after a week of use I rewicked still tasted off. I thought it was the coil being bad I vape very heavy 30mil in two to three days. I cannot build the nuppin yet so I put it away and brought out my mophesto which I don't like but the taste was better then it got really bad after a day just like the nuppin. I notice when I sqaunk hard juice leaks from below the atty I don't know what to do. Using my ipv3 with aspire Atlantis tank taste is very good in it but it's not as robust as a rda. Im in a position to buy another reo that thinking about a ordin with it but. I don't know if I should I just want a great vape honestly. I'm not good at building coils. I like a hotter vape trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I use cotton bacon usually trying ready wick right now same bad taste. Any information would be appreciated.

Hmm. You may be over squonking and cooking your juice. Take off your atty cap and see how well your juice drains. May also be that youre using too much wick. Let us see a pic of your build and well be able to help more

I second the build pic.
I can see bad taste coming from choking your coils with cotton.

checkout sxmxdrifter on YouTube he builds a lot of coils and shows a great way to wick that works. He even has Nuppin' videos so you can learn to build yours quickly
There are Odin videos as well if you take the step towards on of those

Thirded
Sounds like you're cooking juice and on the next squonk getting cooked juice back in the bottle.

Once get a bad taste it will stay of course....have to change wick right away and maybe coil too...might take some experimenting to see what ohm build you like.... I just do a single coil and stock reo atty and. Vapes great. For the first 20-30 vapes with new coil or new cotton it tastes a little funny then goes away completely. Some juice leakage where you mentioned is normal but when refill the juice a quick wipe seems to take care of things....also try taking the drip tip off when you squonk so can see the juice level raise while squonking and make sure it gets all the wick...also sometimes the wick blocks the juice hole too so when you think your squonking and sending juice to the wick no juice is getting through..... Sounds like a lot but once you get it will be easy peazy ... What the heck is a Nuppin?

Agreed - it MIGHT be over-wicked and/or over-squonked. A photo would help, but trust us, you CAN get the BEST flavor from a good build on a Reo for sure... Remember, the juice is RIGHT THERE, you only need enough liquid (and wick) to get you through a couple or a few hits...

Also - Nuppin is a "natively" bottom-feeding atomizer of the very highest quality.
A batch was just released, and may be gone...you could look/ask here if really interested...

Need to see a photo of your build. "Bad taste" combined with liquid getting forced out between the Reo and the atty implies you have way too much wick in your build. It's a common issue - needing to get away from cramming as much wick as possible into a bottom fed atty. This is no longer a contest to have as much wick holding as much liquid as possible. Too much wick in all the wrong places will block the feed holes in the atty and mess with squonking.

Any problems you have, just come see the experts we have in the reo lounge. I'm pretty much just entertainment there, but they have helped me out a lot and I have learned a lot too.

Hope some of the suggestions here helps you. I bet they will.

Lots of good info already passed on, but with pics of your build wicking issues can be seen. Squonking right has a learning curve, and can vary for different vaping styles, atty's, builds and even joose. Its a short learning curve though if you pull the cap and watch what you're doing at first.

I chuckled at your "I vape very heavy 30mil in two to three days". With my long lung hits I go through 30ml plus every day, and none of my builds are super low builds.

This may have been my problem, not sure. I had leaking in the same place with several atties. At first on the nuppin I had a dual coil, and ran the wick from one atty to the next so it basically encircled the atty. Just did a single build, and cut the wick, no leaks. Only other thing I can think of is that the 510 pin may have been up too high. I had to back it out a full turn for the Marquis, so was doing that for all atties, just realized it didn't have to be a full turn for all of em. Dunno if that would have made a difference or not with leaking. But now, no leaking with my nuppin and it's been several days. So that might be something OP is experiencing.
