I have always used VV/VW mods so I have a couple of questions about my REO mini . I have read so much but I think I am more confused than when I started. Anyways I have always bought 1.8 coils so when I did my build it came in at 1.78 perfect I thought. However with my other devices I was able to play with the voltage and not I can't so should I be looking at a different resistance for my build. I like a hot vape and I want flavor, its all about the flavor. I do not lung hit only mouth hits and out my nose. I do not want to sub ohm because quite frankly I do not know enough about ohms, batteries, etc. So my question would be by going lower ohm will I get more heat and more flavor? I am using a RM 2 .

The other questions is I am using a AW 18490 3.7V 1100mah is that ok ? When I use my VV/VW my mod would just stop working when my battery was done so is it o.k to run my mini the same way or should I somehow know when to change it out before it is empty?

Sorry I know these sound stupid but after reading so so much I still have these questions. I asked my husband who is a still a smoker about this and he gave me a blank stare , shrugged his shoulders and continued doing so I am really at your mercy here if you don't mind .

I would coil up in the 1Ω range for a warmer vape. Not too low to eat up your battery three times a day, but I think it'll improve the vape quality. Your mod will not stop firing like a vv/vw mod, so you just need to know when vape quality is going down, or check out your battery with a meter a couple times a day. After awhile, you'll just know when it's time to change up. Don't run a battery below 3.2V. If you don't have a meter, just pull the battery and put it in a mod that reads battery voltage, or your charger if it has the digital readout. In a short time, you'll know when to pull it and change it out based on your vaping that you do during a normal day. Mine will last me all day, but I use 2 Grands each day and use 18650s, not the 18490s, so you'll have to set your own time frame. Good luck and happy vaping!

Jensy, I'm sure someone will be able to help you with your questions. I am not really qualified to answer because I still have lots of questions myself. I use the rn2 also and I have noticed a much warmer vape when I get a build around 1.0Ω. I usually try for around 1.3Ω. I know several others here have and use a vv so I am sure they will help you. I look forward to the answers so I can learn something too.

There are several YouTube's on reo vv that might also be helpful. Just trying to help. :oops:

Good morning, Scott and Torey! You are up early, or up late!

I tried to sleep but the dog was snoring so loud I finally gave up after a hour and decided I might as well have a cup of coffee. I am sitting here drinking it and the same dog is asleep on the couch and not a darn snore to be heard. Grrrrrrr

Good morning, REOvil!


Jensy- I vaped at 1.8 before the RM2's came out too. After fiddling with different coils for a few months I've settled in at 1.2, warm and still plenty of flavor. Like Paul said, don't run your battery all the way down. When you feel a drop off in vapor production, it's probably time to change batteries. (mine get changed at about 3.7ish) Welcome to REOvil!

Hello :)


There is no sleeping late here for me...
Cat thinks it's his job to pull the covers off at about 5:30
Even if I can convince him I don't want to get up...
once the sun starts it's day, the cockatoo thinks he has to scream to greet it...over and over and over and over...

Good Evening REOVille. I have a question about a competitor, if he's actually called that. PDib is making a Wooden Box Mod called a 'dibi'. Does anyone know if there is a Manufacturer, by name, or is this just some guy in his garage ?

sorry Brett never heard of him
