Hmmmm. I just ordered resurrectors last night.


Sent from my iPhone using Squonkspeak. Go REO!

Your gonna love them. They perform great and yes, they are longer than the boge's but they also hit harder as well. Everything else is basically the same in terms of performance.

I work for an investment bank in NYC - I rarely get to squeak out for breaks during my busiest days. Sometimes I'm stuck vaping in my cube, so I need to do it incognito... Loud cartos don't matter outside of work, but make it next to impossible to stealth vape in the office.

It's a unique problem. I'm convinced if I worked at a small-scale firm, my bosses would be all for me vaping at my desk and not taking 10 breaks periodically to smoke, but that's not the case.

Out of ALL the cartos I've tried thus far. The most quiet carto that I've run into would be the IKV MEGA LR KR808 cartos. They barely make a sound but they are a bit longer. Since they are also have a horizontal coil. You do have to take a slower draw with these.

They give out a good TH, great flavor, and awesome vapor. I would highly recommend them for your situation. If you already have a 510-901 adapter than your solid.

I just wanted add after switching from the 1.7 smoketech (resurrector) to the 2.0 boge a couple times I noticed a nice advantage to the longer 1.7 When I over squonk I rarely get juice in my mouth. I didn't realize how much I was over squonking the cartos until I switched to the boge and had a rough time at first.

I havent done a stress test yet. I've been in a mood to switch flavors a lot lately. But with so many on hand its no big deal to toss them in a pile to be cleaned out later.

I use a 510 to 510 adapter and put on a HC echo carto, doesn't fire. Why is that so?

I also tried putting a HC Dual Coil carto it doesn't fire as well. I'm using a reo mini. Help is greatly appreciated because i have burn 2 atty.

I had this trouble with a 510-to-cone adapter with an echo-e carto. They are touchy, so keep trying - they have to be screwed on pretty tight make the connection. It might help if you can use the adapter on another 510 PV first.

I am learning this. As usual, slowly :)

At least your learning. It took me a while to figure it out.
All you need is 1 second of slightly dry burn and the carto tastes off the rest of its life.

Although the people that use the same carto for weeks may not notice.

But the guy that uses them 2 days and wants a fresh one notices for sure!

Yea, I got in a hurry a couple of days ago and burnt one. Even after filling with a syringe. I seem to be getting about 4 days out of them.
I switched a carto I had on a reo with light liquid to a reo I had a similar but darker liquid in and stretched it out a couple more days. I am awaiting a woodvil so I can mix my 2 favorite but similar liquids and see how I like them.

Hi, Thanks for the tip. I tried with another pv it works but it still doesn't work with the reo mini. I tried using that 510-cone adaptor it can't even fire an atty on the reo but fires perfectly on another atty.

This 510-cone adapter only has a hole in the bottom and doesn't have 2 side holes like the atty. Is that the reason why it doesn't work with the reo mini?

Sorry for not reading the entire post before asking this but has anyone had any luck using dual coil cartos on their Reo? If so, which cartos?

Any of the normal sized ones. The XL's are too long; you can use them, but they are more difficult to top off by squonking and you don't need the extra capacity.

I got the 510 cone adapter to work on both the mini and the grand. I know this is going to sound crazy, but once it starts working, it keeps working, even after taking it off and cleaning, etc. If I remember right, my REO was pretty warm from chain vaping when I decided to try it again, and I used on of those rubber jar opener things (extra grip) to give it an extra twist and then it worked great.

I use it with an eGo/Riva cone on my mini and with the echo-e cartos sometimes on my grand. I really think that both the REO and the adapter have to be warm/heated from being used to get it to go the first time.

Wow okay thanks for the reply. I'll try it again. Warn it up using another pv. Once it is all hot and smooth, I'll remove it and plug it directly to the reo mini and see how. I did use a plier to twist it. Just a thought, does your adapter have the two holes at the side?

I really hope the echo e carto works on the reo.

My adapter doesn't have any holes, it has two groves at the very top edge. It's from digitalciggz: 510 to 510 eGo Cone Adapter [510 to 510 EGO Adapter] - $4.50 | Best Electric Cigarette | Electronic Cigarette

The echo-e are nice on REOs, but the vapor production is not as good as with a Boge 2.0 (which I keep going back to).

EDIT: another idea would be to put the adapter in the echo-e first (then test it on another PV) and then put it on your REO. They are hard to get back out - I had to use the jar opener thingy and a needle-nose plier over it when I did it that way.

I can't seem to work the dual coil carto on the reo. Just doesn't fire.

Some attys and cartos are finicky in general. The problem usually stems from the center pin in the atty/carto. You can take a paperclip and put it into the center hole of the bottom of the atty/carto and pry it down a little. Sometimes they get pushed up too far when they're made, or from using it on a different device.

Your mileage may vary, and you do so at your own risk, but this trick has worked very well for me on many devices, because they aren't all exactly the same height/threading, and some cartos arrive with the center pin too far up.

If you need pictures to see what I mean, send me a PM. It's really easy to do though, and I haven't destroyed a carto doing it yet, but I do not have a Reo in front of me to test it. I just know it works that way on ego batteries, my provari, and the revolution as well.

Of course, I don't speak for redeyedancer on the matter, so if you want to be sure, talk to someone that knows for certain.
