A friend of mine just gave me a few Bloog cartos to try , they are an 808 connection , so I used my 901 adapter with my REO. Wow , I was impressed with them as far as pre-filled goes. No primer puff even on my old piddly little cig style battery. I tried vanilla , 555 and cherry. I would really like to try the blanks, but they are out of stock right now. I want to see if they are as good with my juice as the pre filled.

I tried using Bloog cartos on it, and while good, it doesn't compare to the attys (I use 2 ohm atomizers.) Probably because the resistance of the Bloog Cartos (~2.5) is a little high for the 3.7V battery. Anyone tried vaping with the Bloog or other equivalent resistance cartos at 5V? While we're on the subject, what battery(ies) do you use to vape at 5V on the REO?

I tried one on my 5v mod . It works good.
I know there is a 5v battery that people have been using on the Grand. I believe it is made for the mako maksi but, I could be wrong. I am pretty sure Techno is the one who posted the link to the battery and charger. The battery has a special charger to go with it. I remember something about leaving the battery on the charger for 4 hours after the light turns green. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with that.

Uhm, I'm running the 5v Batt in my Grand and have been since the Philly VF when I got the 5v Batts and charger. This is really a nice set up in the grand with the Iken Dripper carto's and Atty's either or and puts out a very nice well rounded vape.! It's not to hot not to cool just right and the juices have a nice flavor with this set up. With running LR's I feel it fry's the juice sometimes and I lose flavor same with to high of a voltage,, from 4.6-5.2 is a nice middle ground my 5v Batts are coming off my charger at 5.4 and from there until they degrade down till I have to recharge its a good well rounded vape with good flavor the whole way.

Thank you Big Hitter! I now have the "Blind Squonk" down and love it with my cartos on my Mini!

Thanks Big Hitter for starting this thread. I use cartomizers on all of my bottom feeders, love the convenience of them and they work great.

Any time .... If I only had one REO it would be a carto mod full time. Luckily I have 5 and can enjoy the best of the carto and atty worlds.

Every time you give your advice here my wallet gets lighter :)
First the Redilast batts (Thanks BTW) and now the 5v set up.
I've been wanting the 5v for a while, think its time to take the plunge.

I told Isaac im down for whatever the limit is on his 2Ω 510s on Sunday when he is back up. Going to add a few different cartos too and see what I think of them.

OK Big, while over @ Iken your gonna need to pick up one of his HV-510's too, even if your not big on HV. I totally changed up and have been runing these baby's on almost all of my mods these days, don't get me wrong I still enjoy the 2ohm stuff and it has a place in my arsenal but these new HV-510's have changed the game for me, they dont run as hot as the old HV Atty's and are one smooth vape, give em a try between 5.5v-6.5v and let me know what you think.

Hi everyone, Hubby and I are new Reonauts and are loving the experience. We are currently running on 6v's but are waiting for our 3.7v batteries to arrive. I have been using my boge 2.0's and seems to be going good and hubby started out using his joye atties. He has now converted to the boge 2.0 cartos.

Big, thank you so much for this info...it has helped us alot.
