Reos dont like Canadian weather!

[C_Webb]

So winter has started and unlucky enough I work outdoors with my Reo always equip, the last few really cold says my juice started thickening up and the magic squnking of the Reo is no longer working as it does not all drain back down the bottle, there is no clogs, just the cold juice is too thick!

I am thinking of getting some insulation wrap or something of the sort to wrap around my bottle to see if that helps any!

If anyone has any good iders of something I could use to keep the juice viscus enough to drain then it would be greatly appreciated!

If you don't have any means of warming your Reo, you can try thinning the juice. I wouldn't suggest distilled water as it can freeze, but maybe a little alcohol or higher PG.

I'm a logger and have the same problem. I try to keep my Grand in a shirt pocket close to my body heat but sometimes that isn't enough. Its easy to burn up a cotton wick when you think you've squonked but haven't. I haven't had problems with the juice not draining back so much as not saturating my wick. Either way, it is a problem. I'll be watching to see if other Reonauts have any helpful hints.

Yeah I dont want to go to a higher PG, witch would probably help a bit!

I seen some thermal tape online that I might try out !

I use 80% PG--still a problem.

I used to throw a carto on it when I went out skiing or winter camping. That way I could go 30 or 40 hits with no squonk if needed.

Now I just try to keep it in an innermost pocket and hope for the best.

Seems most of the Canadians are down here in my RV park or near me somewhere. You could always spend time as a snowbird.

Now that you have me thinking about this, I wonder if something like a neoprene cell phone case might preserve the heat. Neoprene material is flexible enough that one might be able to squonk right through it rather than needing to cut out the squonk hole. I might give that a try.

Im wondering if a cast iron skillet insulated handle sleeve is big enough for a grand to fit in. Maybe you could find something like this (see pictures), it says the measurements are 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Or maybe get a glove and put the grand in it with one of those hand warmer packets.

I know they sound like goofy ideas, but they just might work. Let us know what you think, good luck guys.

Isn't great .... ? My Reos never get cold, I never take it to QC before early May when that white *$%# is has melted.

I was thinking something like this!

They also have mini heat packs, the ones you shake up and put inside gloves/boots!

Ill Macgyver something crafty up!

I was thinking pretty much the same thing alone those lines using those hand warmers, just put the hand warmer and grand inside a ankle sock and stuff inside your pocket.

You need to figure out a way to rig up some resistance wire that wraps around the bottle with some way to regulate the temp so it keeps the juice warm.

I would definitely recommend adding a drop of Everclear to the bottle. It will thin it down and add the extra no freezing value. I make my menthol with Everclear and menthol crystals and just add drops of it to my unflavored liquid. I sure hope some of these suggestions work. I wonder if using one of those little heat packs that last 10 hours or so would help? Good luck to you and I hope you find some solution to be able to squonk in the cold.

I live in Buffalo (basically canada) and keep it in my pants or shirt pocket under my outer layer, 50/50 pg/vg and the only time I have a problem is if I keep it out of my pocket for more than 10 minutes or so...

The cold weather makes my bones ache. I would just live in a bar for the winter months sucking on my anti-freeze of choice.

Mine might freeze but sand will never clog my RM2 air hole. I'm feelin' sorry for ya.

I keep mine in my top shirt pocket under my down coat and so far the juice flows fine.

we don't get a lot of real cold on the west coast here but the time I have spent in it and just my regular life outside all day this works real good or when thats not accessible due to extra clothing just having it an inner pocket is all it takes and I run 60% VG

Ahhh, that basic flaw in the "want" verses "need" way of thinking thing again. When you live in the frozen north you do what you gotta do... (I spent a little over half my life, around 35 years, in the deep snow frozen north).

I find keeping mine in the inside pocket of my vest or jacket keeps it warm enough to still vape well, but if it is just sitting in the truck it is hard to squonk for the first vape... Amazing how the VG thickens so quickly...
