Soon to be Papa of a Reo Grand Blue :)

[FAAmecanic]

Ok all....finally took the plunge and just bought my first REO. Its the REO Grand BLUE/BLUE (was shocked my favorite color was in stock as I have been waiting to get an email stating some were in stock and never got an email).

What made me take the plunge is this weekend I went through 3.... THREE cartos with my favorite blueberry juice from Backwoods brew. They would work for 3ml or so then tighten up to where the draw felt like I was sucking through a collapsed soda straw.

So here is to hoping my vaping experince will completely change with the REO (cant see why it wont).....

Now the wait begins.

Fantastic news!....er...I mean about the REO! I'm sorry about your carto troubles...that is why I never truly went back to cartos. I sure hope you find this to be an easier solution. Keep us posted when you get it!

 

[FAAmecanic]

Thanks Rhapsodies... now to explain the purchase to the wife She is a Non smoker (fortunately), and non vaper (well she does have her own ego with zero nic...she liked my snickerdoodle too much to not try it)..lol

My only concern is Im used to using my VV Buzz. If a juice just doesnt taste right..I dial in a new voltage to taste.

Now I see there is a VV Reo Grand comming out... so if I love this Reo like a think I will, then I will just have to have 2 Reos

Since you got a Grand on the way, consider trying atomizers. Make sure you get AW IMR 18650 batteries, too.

Bought 4 atmoziers to go with the Reo and the 18650 (2)... I already have 4 RCR123A Powerizers, so if I want to go 6v at least I have that option.

EIDT... Nevermind my sillyness...510/306 connection is the same...duhhh.. NEWB.

So I see a lot of folks using 306 attys vs. 510s... any particular reason?

Welcome to the tribe FAAmecanic

Thanks redeyedancer... I am sooo looking forward to owning one of your wonderful creations!

I do drip occasionally with my buzzpro...but find the tedium of dripping and the mess it makes to be a discouragement. Seems you created a PV that takes care of most of those issues. And I have to say I do LOVE the taste of my juice when I drip.

I would advise against stacking Powerizers in a Grand. Those are unprotected Li-ion batteries and the Grand is an unregulated mechanical mod. They're much safer to use in the Buzz Pro or the VV Woodvil, but even then, not recommended.

Oh yeah...forgot the Buzz has protection built in. I may either buy one of those new "fuses" or just buy some protected batts. Whew...glad I posted my bright idea here. Dont need a thermal runaway in my hand or worse.

I was eyeing that blue Reo Grand too! And you got it!

J/K, but when I saw it, I was seriously considering it myself. Best of luck with it, I'm sure you'll love it.

Edit: The black with blue door is still available. But I love the all blue too.

Awww...sorry sweedish... I was just happy that Rob had BLUE in stock. You could always get the blue with black door then plead with Rob to get you a blue door eventually

Guess Im on my way to be a "mod addict". Let see I have the Halo G6 808 cig model, Ego-C (gargage IMHO), Buzz Pro, and now a Reo.. and if I like my Reo grand enough then my next will be a Reos VV

 

[FAAmecanic]

Another quick question...being as I assumed too much with the use of my Powerizer batts...

Can I use my Trustfire TR-001 charger that I have been using for my buzz? It says on the back it will charge 18650's.

I use only cartomizers on my Reo Grand and love the results. I only vape DIY juice now but used to vape tons of BWB juice (though not blueberry) and never had issues with losing a cartomizer quickly.
