Or just congrats lol....

2 questions, 1, what are the optimal setups, carto? Bridgeless atty? Any suggestions, i have been using some run of the mil brdged atty i have, and it is awesome so far, what would you suggest?

2, dripsheilds, do they work on the REO Grand?

Anyways, i always thought you people were kind of nuts, now I see why, this thing is awesome, I havent touched my Darwin or my Provari, or even my wife since I got it earlier, and it passed my lawnmower test with flying colors, i love it.

Thanks for the responses guys, it means alot.

I'm not big on 306s, but I am a fan of the IKV stuff, I've got a couple of Cannons around here that i love to drip with, I may dig them out.

And Cisco makes some awesome stuff as well, haven't tried the HH357 yet, I may give it a try.

Oh and anybody else doing 5V on their REO? Just wondering.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM!!!

1. You can use any type of carto or atty that you want. Just be sure to match the corresponding atty/carto to the voltage that your using it at. For example:

At 3.7V you would want to use 1.7 - 2 ohms. Since any higher and your vape will not be up to your expectations.
At 5V stick with 2.5 ohms
At 6V; 3 ohms or higher if you want a cooler vape.

If you already have experience with atties. Then it shouldn't be too hard but, I would start off with 1.8 ohms until you get used to things. Although, if you are into cartos then that will probably be the best. Since they are more forgiving if you make a mistake. Plus, they're cheaper and so, it won't be too bad if you kill a couple of them.

Start with a blind squonk first since it's easy and you don't have to take attention off of what your doing. Lightly squeeze the bottle while taking a dry hit. Once you hear a gurgle then stop. With cartos, it would be a second or two longer.

Glad to hear that your enjoying your REO and hope that you enjoy it here!

i love these: AMG Hybrid Bottom Feeder by vapage.com

available in all ohm ratings for 4, 5 or 6v vaping.

dripshields: they are originally designed for 901 cartos (because they have a air hole that leaks). imho to put them on a 306 or 510 carto or atty is a pure cosmetic thing - they just look awsome, they have no other effect. and for the Reo you may have to experiment with an 510/510 adapter to extend an atty ... it's more something to play with, but looks very nice :facepalm:

and yes, all of the above posts mentioned is truly true ...

I'm doing 5v with my REO right now and enjoying the heck out of it. I had to experiment around with it though because I don't like all juices at that level. But it certainly does rock some of them!

yes, same for me here, and in the mean time it's always worthy to come back to 4v or rise it up to a little hit at 6v at home (carrying 6v stacked batteries with my Reo on me is something i avoid, so 6v is nothing for on the road for me).

Welcome to REOVile'! You don't want or need a drip shield. Catch cup does that for you. Any LR atty works just fine. Seems to be a general consensus here for IKV, Cisco & HH.357's. They all rock well on the REO. Fog On!

A drip shield would only be needed for estetic (sp) purposes.

I've actually re-thought that. If an adapter and a 901 is used, then on would be needed. Just due to the 901. I hope I'm right about that, but maybe not.

I would think that the drip well would still catch the juice from the hole in the 901. I'm not sure with an adapter but I don't see why that would matter.
