I hope you're feeling much better, Karen.

I've been meaning to ask you how you like your eRoll? Is it what you thought it would be, and is it helping your smoking urge? I haven't used mine in quite a long time, so I pulled it out today. It felt a little strange and yet so familiar, almost like smoking a cigarette again.

i use it more than anything else right now, I love it and highly recommend for those like me that thought bigger is better yet they are still smoking. I can go for hours now without a cigarette. I will possibly eventually quit smoking (can you tell I am passive aggressive?), and I am seriously considering getting a few more. Just in case they discontinue it. I found a great price on them at Nhaler, but they have a no return or refund policy on the ones they have. So, i would be taking a big chance on them at considerable savings. ANd Hi THaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub:

With all the trouble people talk about with their rba tank attys I decided to get a REO instead of any of them and very very happy I did.
I got the REO mini and absolutely love love love it, it is the most fiddle free device I have. I built a twisted wire 1ohm coil and wick with Peaches and Cream yarn, the first wick lasted me a whole week since there were NO dry hits. I put a different flavor in it every day and vape that all day long, of course it isn't the only device I have so the 3 mil will last a day in it. For out and about it is just the ticket, I got extra bottles and they come with a tight fitting cap so it is super easy to take an extra bottle of juice and an extra battery although I haven't needed to use the extras when out yet.

Yes REOs are pricey but worth every penny IMHO and I intend to get another, the draw on the RM2 atty is a little tight but that makes it very very easy to take mouth hits instead of lung hits if that is what you prefer. I have enlarged the air hole a little and probably will make it even larger, but this is my favorite device to date.

Update on my Russian 91% Version 2. I got the Version 1 center pin from VaporDNA and had the spring loaded pin in the V2 replaced. It has worked good but not as good as the original Version 1 Russian 91% that I picked up to keep it company. The original Version 1 has been flawless.

Yesterday I was rebuilding the coil on the V2 with the VaporDNA V1 center pin and took a good look at the deck. It did not look right. Sure enough, the positive post block had rotated so it was perpendicular to the negative post. Now about a week ago I did have to adjust the center pin on it because it would not fire on my Provari (got OP error) so I extended the center pin a couple of turns.

I ended up having to totally rebuild the R91 v2. Again. Had to take the center pin out and the positive block totally off the device. Took me half the night. It looks good now. The positive post is not as tight as I would like but after struggling to get the thing back together I could not get it tighter.

I have identical coils and cotton (as close as possible) on both my R91s. The original v1 is working flawlessly. That stinking r91v2 with v1 center pin will not vape properly. No way is it my coil building or amount of cotton now. Even with the v1 center pin it is not performing as it should.

Moral. Do not buy a v2 Russian 91% even if the center pin has been replaced with a v1 pin. Unless you want to keep rebuilding it down to removing the pin and block. I am done with the Russians by Kebo. Will not buy another one. Too much money to take the chance they change the thing again. The fix has not held for me.

I'm happy to hear you are having a better day, hope it stretches out into many good days. :)

I just haven't had time to mess with the contests lately, haven't even been logging into that FB account at all. It just takes up too much time for me and I can't figure out how to check the contests I've entered anyway. I don't enter any with juice anymore and I have the devices I want already so it's better to leave it all for others.

Thank you all for well wishes, I am having a better day today so I hope it lasts! i am tired but I feel a bit better, it isn't humid today so that seems to effect me severely. I have a big contest to do tonight filled with music trivia so I will be busy preparing

Its a sweet creamy mango flavor. Im not sure if I like mango vapes. Have one that is a blend I like but I don't like eating mangos.

Do you want me to send you a sample of this vanilla custard since you sent me a sample of big willies? I STILL snicker at that name.

Thanks for the offer! I'm gonna let you keep it. I've been with Craft Vapery for a few months and I get all kinds of custards, desserts, etc to keep me happy. On a side note, if you like Bavarian Creme filled, chocolate glazed donuts, Vapor LV has the best I have ever had. A 15 ml bottle lasted me only a week, and I had plenty of others on tap at the time. I just sucked it down like nobody's business, lol.

I hate mango and papaya with a passion (oh, I don't much care for passion fruit, either).

I JUST GOT A STRIKE!!!

Sat down at my computer in my sunroom and put my Provari Mini down on the right side. Logged on here. Just went to reach for it and knocked it over. It knocked over about a dozen 10ml plastic bottles of juice that I have steeping/waiting to be vaped all lined up.

Yeah me! A Strike! (Bowling reference for the sports challenged, like me)

Contractor is supposed to show up tomorrow with the plumber and disconnect my kitchen water and start tearing out the island. Wish me luck and patience.

I think I am ready, but I doubt it sincerely. Never ready for that level of mayhem. The cat is going to go nuts. DH is sick with a bad sore throat. He never gets sick. Must be stress.

Hey Karen, loads of fun last night on FB (and I couldn't figure out how to turn off email notifications-quite a surpise in my inbox this morning, lol!)

Here's the link to the BC donut juice: Hard 10 | BC Doughnut | Vapor Las Vegas (LV)

I'm here. I've been watching headlines. I got suked into figuring out deeming, etc. Found a new adv Free State Vapor (FSV) Butter Rum. Tastes just like the old life saver, 100% VG too. That was a nice surprise. I've gone backwards to egos/spinners and clearo's just because they are easier. Fill and go. They fit into the purse without adding another 10lbs.

So the REO isn't fiddly? For some reason, bottom feeders seem to defy the laws of gravity for me. I can't quite imagine how they work without hassle. I'll have to take a closer look.

I've reccomended the eroll to a number of people. If I came across one in the classies at a no hurt price, I'd jump on it out of curiousity. Same thing with iTaste vv/vw and MVP - course that's why I'm playing contests when I can. There's a lot of things I want to try right now.

My internet sux, it's 111F out and not-so-dry heat (this should be the driest month) and they want to raise my rent. It hasn't put me in the best of moods lately. Plus another flat (thorns) and a dead battery. Long hot summer already.

Hi all. Doing a drive thru.

Contractor showed up. All bottom kitchen cabinets are now in middle of kitchen and dining room. Plumber never showed up. Finally called contractor back at 4pm. I spoke loudly in background so he could hear I was not happy. I gave contractor an earful about how I am not going to tolerate this level of incompetence and if guy does not show up tomorrow morning he is fired and contractor better have another lined up or he is stopping work until he does.

So contractor is on notice that I am holding a cattle prod and waving it. Cabinets are in warehouse and waiting for floors to be done so they can be installed. I knew this was going to happen. The plumber said he forgot to write down he had to be here today. What happened to professionalism? Just showing up. Oh, I know. The sun was shining. Silly me. And DH tells me to cool my jets. Ha!!!

Sorry about the rent raise and the heat.

The REO has a bottle that holds either 3 or 6 mil of juice and attaches to a tube, there is an opening in the case where you press on that bottle and it feeds the juice up through a tube and hole to the wick and coil. It's called squonking and the excess juice goes back down the hole back into the bottle. You squonk every few hits and once you get the hang of it (minutes) you never get a dry hit or burnt juice.

Fill the bottle, fresh battery= many hours to a whole day of not fiddling. I have the mini so 3 mil bottle and because I vape several devices every day that 3 mil and 18490 battery last me a whole day. It's not like a tank atty at all, it's dripping without the dripping.

You do have to build coils and wick them but a Peaches and Cream yarn wick last a whole week, probably would last longer but eventually the coil gunks up and needs a dry burn. Get spare bottles and all you have to carry with you is a spare battery and filled bottle and you're set for the day.

The mini is a little smaller than a business card
