what did you get buddy ?

I got some custom e-juices
Dutch Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice-cream, had to add the ice cream, tastes like whip topping but still good
Another Pumpkin Pie with whip topping like I had made at my local B&M, Tastes better
Cherry Cake doughnut 1 part cherry flavoring, 1 part glazed doughnut, 1 part cream
Red hot Red-hot, extra strength Helps with that after dinner analog monkey.
Even with shipping still cheaper than my local B&M and fast shipping to boot!
They also have a better base flavor line than the local B&M.

More bills!

I did get some vape mail this week; a bottom-fed Dark Horse atty for some serious cloud chasing! If you're a bit sensitive you might want to ignore the next bit - i'm running dual parallel coils at 0.23Ω in it :evil:

Every time it gets to freezing here, i feel like i've been short-changed. One of the reasons i moved here was because i was sick to death of miserable bloody English winters.

Waiting on lazy mail person for my Dark Horse today, gonna pair it with a Panzer mod.

The State of Confusion
I have a question:

I see a lot of second hand Reo' offered that say "has sub-ohm spring", or "sub-ohm kit', etc

I haven't seen anything on the Reo site, or happened across any site that offered such a kit, but what would or is different, and who offers the kits?

I have read that the new Reo' have improved springs and contacts (as compared to the older Reo')...etc.

So what's the skinny on this?

All new Reos have it. All of them - it's a gold plated beryllium copper spring and firing pin.

The old firing pin was SS spring steel.

What this means in practice is that you don't have to clean you mod so much and can vape using lower resistance coils. You used to have to file and clean the old firing pin a lot - do NOT use a file on the gold ones - use alcohol and a pencil eraser.

It means, that these Reos are older versions, that have been upgraded with subohm components.
These subohm kits are identical with the Reo Repair Kit.
New Reos contain these subohm components from the start.

Reonauts were doing sub-ohm builds. They were doing some modding to their REO's to lessen the voltage drop.

Robert took notice and provided us with the new gold plated beryllium spring and top contact. Also he presented a new button that stands up to higher heat.

The new parts were never named sub-ohm by Robert. It is a carry over by those doing sub-ohm builds since the improvement would impact them the most.

So, now all new REO's and the repair kits have the new parts.

Not sub-ohm, but better performance parts!

Thanks all!

I kind of figured that also, but again, being new to Reo' it was a fair question...

I had figured anything that was fairly new would have these enhancements as many sub-ohm with factory set ups now such as Kanger Dual bcc tanks.

Good morning Reoville!

So this is what 4:30 a.m. looks like!
I looked outside and there's a light dusting of snow and it's supposed to snow off n on for the next couple of days with a balmy app. 30 degree temp. average.
Typical mid-Mi. late fall weather.

Yesterday, and about the past week I feel so well it's as tho I have the energy of 20-some years ago..well, maybe 10....
It's awesome what finding an excellent Dr. can do for a body!

For instance, yesterday I rearranged all the living room furniture ( using those furniture moving pads)
, moved a sofa table into my bedroom( cuz I didn't care for how it looked in the livingroom, too many tables and not enough seating) moved a club chair into the living room from my bedroom, and a small four-shelf wood piece for pics and such....all this with the thought of where I'd put the Christmas tree without concern of my GD's doggie knocking it down. I somehow made a nice corner space by the patio door and made the livingroom look bigger and homier at the same time.

Then as a treat, I gave all my woods and RM2's a home spa treatment, recoiled and wicked all of them, then laid back and vaped the room into a white-out while watching tv and munching popcorn.

And the silence thru all this was golden! The people from hell above me moved out yesterday... WHOOPEE!Tho I had planned on giving them a sarcastic bye-bye wave and they got away before I could:D

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
