I haven't been here in years, Are we still going to be able to hang out here now that REOSmods is no more?
Eric said he's leaving the forum open through the end of the year. After that, we'll create a place for us over in the lounge :)

Welcome Back!

question was previously raised and that nice person @classwife said to say the word when the forum closes and she will open a Reo string in the Lounge section so we won't lose our continuity. Thanks again Classy.

Welcome back @TheBikeGuy! Yep, Reonauts know how to adjust. Speaking of Reonauts, if anyone gets out of line at the dance @SteamStack, just holler. We will be there :)

Say @Train2, whats your build on that Boomstick? Good flavor? Just got one and want to play with my it.

And @Sloth Tonight. Cant wait to see your vacation photos. Remember, no photos and it didn't happen. Hahaha. Travel safely and enjoy those bathroom breaks in the airport. :)

I'd say "yes - very good" on flavor. In an RDA this small, I think you HAVE to get good flavor, with the airflow determining whether it's just "good" or "great"...
And as I mentioned, I haven't yet fully mastered airflow on the Boomstick - I have 3 of them, all built basically the same, but performing a little differently! Not dramatic, but not identical... Gotta be the wicking or the air angle.

But yes - I'm happy I have them!

Thank you. Are you happy with the flavor?

Thank you. Are you happy with the flavor?

Let me put it like this..

I built the thing real quick the right way "for me" with the coil directly in front of the air hole.. top set to single air hole wide open.. after a few test hits I was impressed enough to leave the house for Homecoming Duty.

Worked great! And I'm used to nothing but the O-16 for years now.

Seems very close in hit but I use flavorless.

Went to my first concert in maybe 28 years.. went and seen Alter Bridge at the Fillmore in Detroit with just my wife (also her first concert in that time). Her last concert was Poison and I was with her. Warrant opened for them and that's who we were there for mostly.

Anyways.. old small venue and I had no idea who the first band was "Dirty Honey" that opened and also had no idea that Alter Bridge was not the headliner! It was Skillet which I never heard before.. prob know some of their songs if I heard them but we didnt stay for them.. heard one song and split so we could get home at 10 as the kids were home and in bed.

Anways.. Awesone! Sucked as we thought we had decent seats in the balcony 2bd level above the ground floor in the middle.. but it was general seating and first come first serve. But it was still nose bleed seats! 3rd floor was really on the same level just behind us.

I wanted ground floor but had to compromise cause my cheap wife would not pay for them. Here she says right away.. I would rather be ground floor! Doh! I told ya!

Anyways.. lots of stairs to climb! Like 5 floors up just to get there.. and i had to go that far down to get a beer faster then standing in line at our level.. an also use the bathroom! Often!

$11 bucks for a 24 once draft beer and $9 for 16 once. Yeah 4 big beers for me please! Hehe

Wife fell going up the marble/thin carpeted steps coming back from the bathroom and hurt her foot and knee.. First 5 mins their! :/

Anyways point.. I just tried to upload some videos from the concert on youtube and got nailed for copyright 2 mins later..

Says: your video is blocked in 52 countries!

My first ever video I uploaded on youtube! Nailed.. but I see a ton of videos from bands at concerts from normal people with the band name and song title and everything and no problem???

What did I do wrong? Anyone can fill me in how to break the system? Hehe

Edit: took my tumbled raw old beater Reo Grand and new O-16 clone in pocket just encase and had new P67 with Broomstick/Reaper left in car for the ride.

Oh and I will say one thing..

I'm at a concert and we had to stand in line for over a half hour before they let anyone in.. and we felt like.. "Are we at the right place???"

Most people looked like they were going to a non heavy metal rock band concert! Lots of older 60s some in their 70s plus and even super young kids under 10 and everyone else looked like they were going to a pop concert!!

I'm like the only long haired guy there! I'm the only one representing a heavy metal concert!

@SteamStack regarding the copyright thing, it depends on the particular artist/record label. Some are stricter than others and will block it in certain countries like happened to you. Others don't block anything but will monetize your video on the artist's behalf. Any video which uses copyright material will not earn the uploader revenue (at least, usually not) and the most common thing is simply that the artist will earn revenue from the video. It's less common for it to be blocked, and even less common for the video to be totally taken offline. Usually, artists like for people to use their music in videos so they can get money. But some are hardhats about it and don't want you using their material at all.

Can't imagine going to a concert now. I didn't like them much even when I was spry. Oh, there were a few I loved (Bruce Springsteen in, I think, 1982 comes to mind). My last was Billy Bragg at Bowdoin in 1991. Tiny little room; great concert. A good one to end on.

ETA: Come to think of it, I saw the Violent Femmes, Sonny Probe, and Hans Theesink after that. They all paled in comparison.

I'm guessing it got flagged immediately because it's got artist name in the title...
Lots harder to find this stuff if it just said "here's where I was last night"...
:)

Tell me if you see it..



Its messed up as its 2 songs in one hehe.. Isolation is the 2nd song. Need to edit it and re upload.. but wont bother if I cant use it.on youtube.

Well originally I didnt even think it was an issue since you can search for Alter Bridge and see tons of concert footage from others so thought it was all good.

They used the bands name and even song title in the title.. so.. ??

Other crap I read basically stated that most of the time the band makes money off the videos others post.

I could care less as I just wanted to post it up so others can see it if interested. Not trying to make a buck off it.

I see what @SteamStack means about the boomstick. This build deck is weird. For a center coil the airholes are aimed directly at the wick, yet to build the coil off to one side seems to require bending the legs. Very strange. I'm going to build it, but something tells me it'll require quite a few builds to really hone in on it. Probably won't have time to get it right before my trip. Nice looking atty, though. Happy I picked it up.
