...I bragged too quick.... the taste on the coil I just made is flat as a pancake!

I metered it and it's 1.8...oh well...

Kay did Pietro teach you about twisting 2 strands of wire together before making your coil ?If you do that you can get more coils with the same ohms and you will get more vapor and more flavour

No he didn't Darrel...maybe he didn't know that trick when i saw him.So, I usually wrap 4/5 coils to get app. 1.5/1.8 ohms. If I double the coil I'll still get the same ohms?


p.s. i just upped the voltage on the vv, fiddled a bit with the coil and it's working fine! S'funny, i usually just leave the wheel right in the center.

Lisa...remember just a few short months ago when i got my first Reo and was having conniption fits cuz i couldn't get the hang of it and was ready to send it back for a refund?lol.
Now I not only have ( currently) 4 of them, but I'm talking all kinds of strange lingo that I would have sworn was some kinda foreign language not too long ago!

( Lisa and Karen both called me the same night to try to walk me thru the issues i was having...it's a wonder they both didn't just hang up on me!)

Now THAT'S some Reo love:)

If you twits two pieces of coil wire together into one wire then make your coils you can get more coils and keep the low resistance more coils makes more hot surface area therefore making more vapor :D I'm a vapor pig

I have to use VG so not much throat hit there, but it's not a biggie with me..which is a good thing!

I use 50/50 pg/vg and tried to lower nic but lost too much th so upped the nic and all is good so you could just up your nic if you want more th

Good evening fine REO Folk. We just got in a bit ago. DH's afternoon flight wasn't cancelled. Hoo Ray!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though his car battery was dead and I had to jump I still got there in time so he didn't have to wait. Plus for DH's mood. (He's been up since 0500 working.) When we got home and turned on TV we were greeted by KERA (PBS) 2000 Albert Hall concert by Moody Blues!!!!!!!!!!!! Have the big TV tuner switched over to music and cranked up. Getting stoned without assistance of anything............ Well........... we did make a stop, first time in a couple of months, at......................... The Oasis!!!!!!!!! I'm a much more major lover of Moody Blues than DH but he just noticed for first time that two of their guitars are four stringed. DH's flamenco teacher and friend, Eddie Freeman, was responsible for bringing the four string guitar to public attention many years ago. DH is forming new appreciation for Moody Blues!!!!

Jack and I are meeting for brunch in Fort Worth tomorrow, Sunday. He's paying special attention to his make-up because I will be taking pictures. We're meeting at Joe T Garcia's, an old TX establishment, that has fabulous patio dining. Weather should be mid 70's; perfect!! Of course I won't have any makeup on.

Super YEAH Scott!!!! DH would have difficulties enjoying life without his favored TV stations.

Lisa, can relate to your aversion to crowds but I do okay with them even though I'm a major hermit and avoid them like the plague. (When DH wasn't traveling to work and doing all the shopping I would sometimes go a month or more without leaving the farm.) Small doses of Paxil, Xantac, etc., help one to cope. Around these parts one can count on anyone packing so it's best to learn and practice tolerance. I just approach all "folks" as potential hotheads and for sure reactive, dangerous, non-thinking, non caring dimwit, bigot, .......s. It's always a pleasant surprise to be proven wrong about persons.

I will take photos tomorrow and photoshop if Jack hasn't made himself presentable enough.

Love and hugs, Feisty Alice

(Jen, we did have $6.95 oysters. So windy and both of us really hungry so didn't take pictures. Although they were pretty small, Texas Gulf oysters, they had fabulous flavor and texture. The Oasis has the most consistent oysters of any place we get them.) New mounted game fish..... (Owner of restaurant is game fisherman.) Really big Hammerhead shark hanging from ceiling over diners.) Lots of Harley Bikers there, more than usual. Restaurant has huge windows that open like garage doors and you can smoke and vape inside near windows. Next time we'll do that as it got a bit chilly with 30 mph wind on deck.)

Hahaha! Yes, I remember....and you've come a long way. I knew you had it in you! The only downside is now you know more than I do! :lol:
