So I am doing a drip-test-marathon of all my NT juices tonight, or at least most of them. I was just going to post short reactions to each in a different thread but decided to start my own. Why? Two reasons...one of them being that we have several family members that just got or are getting REOs soon, and maybe some of the information on this thread could benefit them, just maybe :) and two, I don't want to run the risk of a non-REO user thinking I'm hijacking a thread trying to enable, because quite simply I'm not.

If you are for any reason against REOs this thread probably isn't for you as it will contain lots of REO praise lol.

As I drip NT juices I will post my initial reaction to them and review of what I think of them as opposed to in tanks--keeping in mind I found REO quickly, using only iClear16s, rebuilt Protank 2s and ehPro KFL+ prior. I invite all of you REO users to share your thoughts on NT juices in the REO as well.

If nothing else this thread can be a late night laugh for some of you..."look how flipping crazy the Sloth is"

Oh, this doesn't have to be limited to REOs--as a REO is a dripper, so, more broadly, dripping NT juices vs tanks :)

All of my tests are done on a 1ohm microcoil with organic cotton wick. The coil was made of 28ga kanthal A-1 wrapped around a 5/64 drill bit.

I won't bother posting anything about the juices I've been vaping religiously the past 2 weeks--Wakonda and Virus. The fact that I've been vaping them religiously in nothing but a REO speaks for itself.

Naki's Blend - to be perfectly honest this is the only one so far I prefer in a tank. A KFL is the best Naki's I've had so far. However, it could be because of the specific blend I did - 50/50. in the KFL I used more CLS to CB. Will try this one again sometime and see if my mind changes. (this wasn't part of today's drip test, I filled a bottle a week ago)

Banana Pudding - the first of today's testing. Oh man, oh man. In a Protank it was candy-ish banana. in a KFL it was more of a real banana, slight pudding perhaps...and very warm tasting. I preferred it in the PT honestly. in Gothics the REO--dear mother of Zotz. This is the biggest improvement i've seen on a juice between gear. I do indeed taste the pudding, and the banana tastes out of this world. It is extremely satisfying and hard to put down. I keep dripping it...but I promise I'll move onto another one within the next two hours LOL

*note that I know some people got a much better pudding flavor in the KFL than I did. everything varies between builds as much as devices I imagine, and taste is subjective. PLEASE NOTE that everything I say is IMM (in my mileage---coining that sucker)

BG - not impressed by this one. REO-wise I mean. it's no better or worse than in anything else I've used (save the iClears...I try to forget about them though). BG is just solid IMM, fantastic in anything. I like it a little less each time I vape it though. Not because it's not great, but because I like so many others better. Hands down I think I'm an NT tobacco vape guy. surprising to me but true. Still love these fruits to switch it up :) and the bakeries are fantastic. so a bakery is next up...hmm not sure which one...or I may be brave and try Roundhouse...

jblindy, I started this thread to avoid people--you in mind--from thinking I was doing so. this thread is open to anyone of course, but is intended for REO users/dripper users to discuss the synergy with NT flavors and compare them to tanks etc. I don't disagree that I am an enabler at all, but that is not what I'm doing here. Beyond this thread I plea guilty :lol:

I started the thread out of respect for other threads for this reason. Make sense? :)

OK Sloth, I am a total noobie at all of this! I should have my first REO mini tomorrow and I understand the concept of the reomizer 2 but what do I need to drip using the REO? Sorry, I will probably be asking a lot of questions! I have never dripped!

If by drip you mean squonk I find my middle finger works pretty well. Some people use their thumbs too. Or if this makes no sense I can write up something else.

jblindy - nono dude I figured you were just having fun with me, but I just wanted to be sure man because I really don't want people feeling like i'm trying to convert them lol. hope my text didn't sound like I was offended or upset - only making sure I'm not offending or upsetting others my friend :) I'm really really happy to hear that you think this thread will be useful to you! I hope it proves to be :)

chillcat - ask away man, I will help and I'm sure many others will too! so, your REO mini is a bottom-feeding dripper. It comes with a bottle that is inserted inside of the device, then you simply squeeze the bottle to feed--or "squonk"--the juice from the bottom. Excess juice is then drained back into your bottle. it's all the convenience of dripping without dripping.

BUT, it can also be used as a dripper. To do this I just take off the drip tip and then drip juice from my NT bottles onto the coil and wick. I am doing this to sample juices without having to load a full REO bottle.

So the REO's design is bottom feeding and comes with everything you need to use it (EDIT--minus batteries and charger and atomizer). It can also be used as a standard dripper which is not what I do on the reg but it's fantastic for sampling the juices on the REO :)

Interesting, I only like BG dripped/squonked. When I use it in a tank (PT, IClear, Kayfun), I love it for the first few drags, but it all too quickly develops a burnt sugar taste (for me) that I do not like one bit.

Maybe I just don't run my tanks hot enough to keep all the gunk burnt off?

PS - Virus + BP is yummy imo
