I tried a ce2 carto and burn 3 consecutively. I'm so disappointed. I'm
Going to give boge carto as a last try before I give up.

The path of air flow thru a CE2 is the same path of juice when attached to a bottom feeder. CE2's are designed to be filled with juice from the top and the silica ropes dangling in that juice will wick it to the coil. Feeding juice from the bottom on a Reo is possible, but presents some difficulty unless you're using a clearomizer version of a CE2 and can see the juice level. Even then, the path of juice from the bottom, up the air tube, and into the body of the CE2 cartomizer is constricted not at all easy peasy. You could squeeze the bottle and simultaneously draw on the CE2 without firing it until juice saturates the wick at the coil, and then vape from it, but you're essentially using it as a badly designed atomizer at that point. If you're interested in modding your CE2's into atomizers, there's a thread somewhere out there with instructions. If you want to read it, just say so and I'll go find it and paste the link here.

Boge cartos work great. Many carto users recommend prefilling them with juice and giving them sufficient time for the juice to soak into the filler material before you start using them. I couldn't say with certainty exactly how long this should take, but letting them set overnight has been suggested many times by various Reonauts.

^^ Yep, some have had success with the CE2 and bottom feeding .... I've done it with limited success on short ones.

But thats just not the way to go IMO.

For the record the path or air flow is the same as the juice on all cartos, but the difference with filler style is the juice can start to absorb right away. With a CE2 the juice flows up a non-absorbant tube all the way to the top before it even sees any wick.

Boge cartos are the simplest way to get a more than satisfying vape on a REO.

Don't give up.

Thank you for the kind words, i have put the extra packs of CE2 for sale on a local site. I'll order the Boge and get it right this time. The reo has been very lonely for quite a while since i have not got any success with it. I truly hope that the reo will be proven for what it is worth. I love the ease of the echo e, i hope reo will be able to do so.

Cheers!

For all of you guys that recommended the 1.7 Resurrector from CCV, WOW!! I ordered the 15 pack deal and just started using one today and it is incredible. It's on my Grand right now and it is the best thing I've encountered so far. Of course, I'm not as experienced with multiple brands or ohm ratings as a lot of you, but these are my favorite things I've tried so far. Just wanted to add my $0.02 worth.

I have been using the resurrectors all weekend. They are not as consistent as boges for flavor IMO. My cinnimon bun is awesome in them. Blackjack not so much. As for vapor they are very good. They do have a th increase also but I am one who does not need a lot of th. I will be getting more but based on the flavor change with one of my favorite juices I will still be getting more boges.

I think I am going to agree with you about the flavor. Nice vapor though. I do have to add, I did use a flavor I am not familiar with in other cartos so that could be my flavor problem. maybe I will swap out some other flavor I know works well in a boge and see how that is.

I've been running the same flavor in both a Boge 2Ω and a resurrector for the last 5 days.
The smoketek does make good vapor but I get more carto flavor and less juice flavor with them.

They would do in a pinch but they don't beat the Boge in my book.

I'll keep trying though, maybe someday something better will come along.
