I may sell most of my mechs and drippers and just use my Reo all the time. I don't think there is a better, more well thought out, better designed device out there. It fits well in my hand and in my pocket and looks like it is basically indestructible I'll bring it to work tomorrow with a 1.1 ohm build in an Omega and with my Sony VT5 and 6ml of e-liquid it will last all day. When I get home I'll change the battery and may switch to a Zenith with a .6 ohm build or a Tobh with a .3 ohm build if I want to see some vapor. I am really, really, REALLY (did I say really?) impressed with this device.

I've realized however that there it takes some time to become a good squonker!! I have improved a lot in a few days and should be adequate in a day or two.

Amen to that. I'm still learning how to properly squonk. At first I just pressed the bottle lightly and pulse it. Now I just hold it and let the coil be completely submerged and that's working pretty well so far.

All I've had were clones so far so they will definitly be sold or given away :D

Just a little behind you guys. I'm configuring an order for my first Reo Grand LP tonight.

Is the Reo Grand really that damn good? I'm so used to drippers, RSST's, ego-C Twists, Vamo's and etc.

Here's my thoughts on it, and short answer, yes, yes it IS really THAT good :)

I would approach with caution and skepticism until at least day 5. Then sell everything and go on a REO buying spree. Once your done kick back and enjoy the rest of your flavorful fiddle free life with a REO......

I like reading post from new Reonauts and hearing all the amazing stories.

It is that good IMHO!

Until you get the hang of squonking pull the drip tip and watch the juice cover the wick. Get used to how hard you need to press on a bottle when full and on a bottle when 1/2 full. If you chain vape like I do the juice and atty will warm up and length of squonk may need to be adjusted. It is a learning process that I have still not perfected in 6 months but in a short amount of time you will find your groove and be able to vape all day without any issues. Keep in mind that different attys may need different techniques as well.

Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the Ville, the thing with REOs is it will get even better. As you refine your build and squonking techniques you will enjoy it more and more. I went from let's see how it goes to I may sell everything to (almost) everything sold in the matter of about 2 weeks.

I'm right on board with you. Great device! Actually trying to sell some of my stuff to fund another purchase of a Reo.

Glad to see you enjoying it, it really does change everything. You'll never look at a tube mod the same now.

Oh, you have no idea, but you will. :) It is most definitely that good.

Here's my thoughts on it, and short answer, yes, yes it IS really THAT good :)

The long answer is yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and again I say yes :thumbs:

I'm usually looking as I do it (not always) and let the coil become slightly submerged, and I never have any issues. I don't have to look but I like to - taking off the drip tip feels sexy, like undressing the most precious being I've ever seen but not fully, just enough to tantalize my senses...

WHOA..sorry guys...I'm uh, *cough* I AM NOT SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO MY REO GRAND, NOT AT ALL, NOT WHATSOEVER...

Yeah we know a round peg doesn't fit in a square hole. As for the OP. Welcome to the mad house of happy vapers. Congrats on your new Reo Loopy but around here we say pix or it didn't happen.

Squonking on an RM2 is easy. Don't be fragile, a nice firm press, hold down for 3 seconds, and you're good. > than 3 seconds when it's below half full.

I can get my bottles from 6ml to bone dry, though when it gets down to < 1ml it is a super firm squish fest, but all my bottles are very well broken in at this point.

Another little tip is to wait a few seconds after firing to squonk in order to avoid any burning of fresh juice from a hot coil getting sucked back down into the bottle. Maybe 3 seconds? If you're too quick to re-squonk after hitting, you may find the juice in the bottle start to darken quite a lot. A little patience in your Reo habbits will ensure you're juice stays nice and clean.

Cheers

Hay! When did you become a member of the Reonutti? I missed that.

It's been about three months now Rick. Got a copper vein Grand and a RM2. I liked the small atty so I bought a Cyclone for dual coil builds and that's what I mostly use these days.

Reonutti huh, I like that :)
