The O-16's are the only atty's I use on both of my grands...
wanna try one of these someday

i never owned a Chalice, although i did once go to a meet where a guy (Clyde - lovely man) had a prototype.

It was hard to gauge how well it worked because Kay - OldBroad, dropped it in her cup of coffee as he was showing it off. True.

T
I wasn't there.......sooooooo wish I had been, but I've seen pics and heard most of the stories. Jup, she sure did, soon as he handed it to her! :facepalm: That's our Kay! :lol:

I know this is my "worst case deeming" solution. I have been building my coils for years. Single, 1.5-1. 8 ohm. I know I want a mini lp and another grand lp. My paranoid question is, I was reading 18490 ? batteries for the mini (18490 or 18550? Help!) might become hard to find?
Semi did find a flashlight site that carries the aw imr 18490's did you bookmark that one? You'll get comfy with your reo soon as you have more time with it.

Good to see you pop in youngster :D its only mid life crisis if you let it be maybe its just life :)

Howdy Darrel, RedhatPat here. I think folks should pay closer attention for your wise words. In a way, you're echo'ing something my ol' man wrote in a letter to me when he passed away.

...something about the only limitations are the one's we set on ourselves....pssst Between you 'n me, I think he stole it from Mohammad Ali boxer interview according to google.

Point is, in my case, I'm interpreting what you said as, "if ur uncomfortable 'n everything has failed than learn 2 be comfortable with being uncomfortable."

I am so new, please pardon my insecurity. I was PIFed a beautiful REO Gramd LP with an RM3. First vape was heaven, but I travel so much with business I have not taken it with me. I want to get to know it better before traveling with it. I can rebuild a Kanger bottom coil in minutes in a motel bathroom. I build RTAs and the drippers I have, but more comfortable with those at home.

I know this is my "worst case deeming" solution. I have been building my coils for years. Single, 1.5-1. 8 ohm. I know I want a mini lp and another grand lp. My paranoid question is, I was reading 18490 ? Batteries for the mini (18490 or 18550? Help!) might become hard to find?

Any info greatly appreciated. Just because I am paranoid does not mean they are not out to get me! I could sooo be a REOaught! (sorry if misspelled).

There's an "it depends":

The mini 1.0 - aka the 14500 mini - takes... 14500 batteries. The slimmer profile doesn't allow for anything larger.

The mini 2.0 and the newer 2.1 take either 18490 or 18500. The 10 mm length difference doesn't matter - plenty of room to fit batteries designated as 18500.

Pretty sure your build time on the road will drop significantly with an RM3 compared to rebuilding a relatively microscopic Kanger coil. That, and a lot of people go for weeks to months and then only rebuild 'cause they're bored. Wick, of course, is going to need changing as per typical depending on what you like to use.

If this build will work (and it will)



you will be dong it practically blindfolded in 15 seconds. :D

that's scripture too. Not so comfortable that you don't want things to improve, but to be content in whatever state you find yourself in. It's not easy to do as you know, but we're much more at peace if we can accept the bad times as well as the good and be content in either.

All I build are tooter puffer coils, single coils around 2 Ohm's, I have never tried any lower ohm coils, or any of the fancy coils. Maybe some day, like after I get my first Nuppins. :)
Ditto Kas ... I like 1.7 to 2. or even up to 2.3, and that's all I use ..from RM2's to Nuppins.
I'm not a cloud chaser, or a direct to lung vaper, and I don't like a HOT vape .. kills the taste for me.
I have found that build works in all my BF's for the way I vape.
I use 2.5 to wrap, and use Super X's favorite 29 wire. ... it's not a fussy coil and it likes all my RBA's
I do play with the placement of the coils, and it makes a difference, but otherwise I'm a happy camper.

Welcome to Reoville Mike, I know you will be very happy with your new Grand, I've only had mine for 10 month but it has exceeded my expectations, my only complaint is perfect vape after perfect vape after perfect vape...gets a little boring!

That's when you encounter the Reo paradox: It works so well and has so little chance of failing that you... go out and buy another one! :D And then maybe a handful more. :rolleyes: I have never purchased so many of the same device - just because they work so well and don't have any problems. It doesn't make sense - and yet it does.

Any questions don't hesitate we are all here to help!

And that part too. That's the other great aspect of owning a Reo.

Can you accept you spent a decade doing something that you literally, overnight, came to find it was all in vane simply over something trivial like, lack of availability or funds, or just the strain it put on your loved ones?

Jim alluded to earlier how life's going for Della last they spoke and without going into specifics, I'm in the same boat similar with one of the offtopic issues DC had.

I don't know where I'm going with this except to say that I'm probably not making any sense right now and feel the walls closing in on me.

I know it's been so hard on you, and I'm so sorry hun. I haven't dealt with that exactly, but I have had my life ripped out from under me more than once. I know some things that I thought were in vain, weren't. There were other ways I used skills or knowledge later on. I know this is no help now, and I wish I could help you out of the depression. I can't recall if you're taking any anti depressants or not, but I would definitely encourage you to talk to a doc if you aren't. My son dealt with major depression for a long time. He finally tried an anti depressant. The first one was not good, so they tried another, and the change in how he sees things now, is night and day literally compared to before. Sometimes we need something to lift us up a bit so we can at least see that the tunnel does have an opening. I'm sorry if this is overstepping, but I just hate to see anyone so down. :wub:

we humans are wired to see all the negatives around us to the point we can't see the good many of us have to train our minds to see whats good so we don't get lost in the bad. And there is always the fact that we cannot fully appreciate the good things in life if we don't experience bad things first So in a way the bad things are actually good things in that they are telling us to better enjoy and cherish the good times :) Hang on Pat life a roller coaster we just need to learn to go with the ups and downs. If ya don't have one get a dog and pay attention to it real close attention see how happy a bowl of food makes it ? see how content it is with its meagre bed ? Give it a toy and see the pure Joy Now play with it and that dogs in heaven we should be so wise

My take on antidepresents since I never tried 'em is, and this applies to how I feel about drugs in general, are that whatever they were made for to fix comes with "sometimes" the unintended consequence of messing up parts of your head that were perfectly fine.

Hope I'm wrong about that in the event I ever go that route or get sent to the loony bin, whichever comes first.

I'm not a doctor, I just spent a night at the Holiday Inn :lol:

well just keep it in mind. I don't think they're best for a long term fix, but he was to the point where he couldn't see much positive, and had been that way for awhile. this has helped him get to the point where he can actually use coping skills, but before he couldn't.

What Darrel said is so true. Life has good times....and times that are so dark you can't see any way out. Most of my life has been a constant struggle, and I battled depression for many years. I had a strong faith, and that was what helped pull me out of it. I began making myself find one thing a day that I could be truly thankful for. The first the only thing I could find was flush toilets. I've used an outhouse, and I was truly grateful I didn't have to do that. Gradually I began to find more things and my outlook improved
