REO ownership/use questions

[Papa_Lazarou]

So, I've recently celebrated my REOmitzvah - my first little beauty: a nice black wrinkle grand.

I'm wondering, however, whether all you reonauts prefer to switch out juices (which is harder with the reo than, say, swapping out toppers on other devices) or get more reos. The obvious answer would be that you (we) would probably all want a fleet of them, but nevertheless I'm curious.......

Do you swap juices often?

How many reos do you have?

How many reos would you like to have?

 

[FEEDER]

Never swap juices, only use a Virginia juice,
I've got 2 grands
3 of the 2.1's,
& 1 of the 14500minis,
I've got 4 cyclones, that go about them all,& 2 surface rba's for the 14500

How many reos would you like to have?

All of them? I would *like* to have 2 Grands (one of them LP), 2 Mini 2.1s, and 2 Woodvil's (one each 18650 and 18490). Finances, however, dictate one more for now (debating over Mini or the LP Grand...for now). For dripping/testing flavors, I'm probably being blasphemous, but I'm looking at getting an inexpensive, but well done tube mech, like a Nemmy clone with an RDA (some flavor of igo) on top.

I swap flavors probably two or three times a day. I don't find it difficult at all. Just unscrew the bottle in the Reo, slap a paper towel under the cap/tube, screw in new flavor. Vape. There is a bit of flavor mixing for a few minutes, but I don't use flavors that linger very long with the next.

A few years ago I bought 100 bottles to mix my own juice. I just use a label maker and keep some filled up for when I want them. Easy as pie.

One Reo. Want them all.

I manage with one Reo Grand, RM2, and bf Cyclone. When out and about, I run one flavor and often carry a full bottle of another. I switch up flavors often when at home and use my Reo as well as an IGO S on a tubesteak. I keep several 6 ml bottles filled with a variety of tobaccos to make flavor switching fast and easy.

ETA: I have an IGO L, several other large chambered atties, and four gennies all gathering dust. None provide flavor like the ones I use.

I don't really switch out juices much, and I usually have at LEAST three REOs going at once, but when I do switch out juices, I don't fret it much.....I usually just rinse out the bottle (not the tube or even the atty) and fill it with the new juice. I have REOs that have had the same bottle for over two years, or more. Most of my juices are similar, so there's not much overlap. Or if there is, I don't mind it. Sometimes I'll like the new "blend" well enough to mix the two favors together on purpose.

How many REOs do I have? I have 4 woods: one of each size. Also I have 2 VV Grands, 3 Grands, 2 metal 18490s, and 5 original Minis.

I AM going to be contending for some (not sure yet which/how many) of the "new wood" that is in the works. One can never have too many REOs.......that's my theory.

I run three Reos, One will have Ikenvape RY4 Gold(been my ADV for a few years), one with unflavored nic and the third with what every I have an taste for. Most of my flavors are complementary, so I don't mind a little mixing. If I get a tired of Ry4 when the bottle gets almost empty I fill it up with something else, a nice coffee with a little caramel blends well with it.

so for me, i switch flavors every now and then, not very often, i dont mind running a flavor for a while... but when i want to change just dump the old back into the bottle it came from... and pour in the new... sure there is a little bit of mingling but i like lemony, and limey flavors... so for me most of my flavors are similar and switching there is some cross over for a little bit...

now if i had it my way, aside from having multiple reos, or if that were not an option, i would have multiple bottles, at least 2 or 3...

just have the bottles and a cap... this way you dont need to refill on the go, or when changing a flavor there is very little cross over...

and/or you can make change flavors at will and then just rinse out the "lingering" liquid...

but id prefer to have a bunch of reos... but youve given me an idea... caused my brain to work... lol... and i came up with something i probably wouldnt have done otherwise...

im going to order some extra bottles here (within the next few days) and going to take the spares full with me and when i need to refill just swap bottles...

thanks for getting my brain working...

I usually just vape until my bottle runs out, so I'll swap flavors every day or two. When I first started with my Reo I would swap more frequently and I would run the Rm2 under the tap, blow some water through the tube and swap bottles, as time went on I became lazy and just blow the tube clear, swap wicks, and fill er' up.

I've survived with one Grand and Rm2 for 7-8 months but this guy just sold his Pro-thingy in the classies so number 2 will be ordered shortly

Ideally I would like 2 Grands and a Woodvil 18650 but if I win the lottery that might change....

 

[Raynman]

With my first order I got 6 extra bottles. I now have 3 grands. The Silver Vein is my work Reo I switch juices when the bottle runs out. I usually pull the bottle use a paper towel to keep feeding tube from dripping into the Reo. I tear off a little piece of the paper towel and roll it up and use it to wipe out the inside of the bottle and refill with juice. I then blow through the RM2 covering the air hole into the paper towel to empty the tube and get whatever juice out of the RM2 I can. Put new bottle on and I'm good to go. My Copper Vein only gets Gorilla Juice. My hammer tone is not in service yet. I want a Wood 18650 and a LP TRA those are in my immediate future. I'd like to have a stabilized one day when Rob makes them again. Not too sure how many I'll have when I'm done.

 

[marsos52]

3 grand's here... one is for at work, another I use for pocket carry and the car, third is for when I'm at home...

I make my own juices. most of the time I vape one flavor for a week. when is finished, then I do a different flavor.

root beer for a week, a week with vanilla, a week with chocolate. there are times when I have overlapping flavors, and if I want to switch
to another flavor, rinse the bottle and fill her up. or just grab another squeeze bottle and screw it in.

Really quite easy...

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

This is fascinating. Love the idea of swapping bottles, not toppers, to get a variety of flavours - a shift in paradigm for me (I know, I know... it's a dead simple idea and obvious now that I see it).

Also very interesting to see people with so many Reos even though they're comfortable swapping juices. Even the vaunted Pro---- doesn't get this kind of devotion.

I do not feel so silly thinking about getting a mini straight away, even though I'm on, like, day 3 in Reoville.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

I love seeing post like this, I get a huge smile and think " Aah, now they understand."

We all know that the REO would be the perfect device for 98% of the people. But if we flooded the general forums trying to tell them, they'd just think we are fanatical fan boys and girls.

 

[AmandaD]

I only have one - an original mini - and I change juice often But I believe I there is mini 2.1 in my future very soon And, of course, I would love a regular grand for those staple advs (I seem to have a few)....long and short of it is you cannot have to many Reos imo

 

[rabernet]

I have 4 at the moment - 2 of the OG mini's and 2 of the 2.0 mini's. Hoping to pick up a Woodvil or 18490 Wood. Four different flavors and always changing flavors when they run out. Usually just change the wick out and vape through the little bit of mixing there is. i also have 10 spare bottles.

 

[mackman]

I switch flavors seems like 5-6 times a day. Keep those in "daily rotation" in extra bottles. I remove bottle and cotton wick, rinse atty and Reo, rewick and attach new flavor bottle and on my way in about 4 minutes; doesn't get any easier than that.

You would he proud of what I have done since I sent you a pm several weeks ago.

This a pretty much it.
I have 2 grands and a mini.
Both the grands come with me when I go to work.
One with a tobacco variant. Different one every day.
One with unflavored or unflavored plus menthol.
The mini usually stays at home and is used to try new juices and is my 'sweet' Reo, for fruits , bakery juices etc.

Bunch of stinkin' enablers...

Okay, I just placed an order for a mini 2.1 (silver vein) + rm2. At least this time I have the grand to bide my time while the little beauty is being shipped.

Oh, Papa! I will live vicariously through you for now. I sadly must wait a few months for my next Reo (well, my family likes nice things like heat and lights and cell phone service, lol). I will gladly wind more coils and our Grands can have a virtual "play date" while we wait for your next.
