The REOville lounge

[Train2]

I remember when it was so hard for me to keep up with all the posts in the Reo Lounge. I was grateful to be a part of that wonderful group and still consider myself a reonaut. View attachment 971235

I have been away for so long, I feel almost like a newbie. I am still using the same 18650 batteries that I started with and have been thinking I should start getting some in my inventory. I have only used the Panasonic batteries I bought during a co-op here. What and where should I go now? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I would look for Mooch for full recommendations, but as a starting point, the Molicell P26A has proven a great all around battery for vaping - and it's available (many batteries have become hard to find - or in short supply, etc).
Vendors I think you can trust include illumn, liionwholesale, imrbatteries, and 18650batterystore (all of 'em, just the name-dot-com).

A big thank you, Train2!

Took your recommendation and I have 6 on the way. Now I'm just a little concerned over how excited I am over batteries! heehee Thank you again.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Yay! I switched over to those batteries last year due to the wisdom I learned here from @Train2. Ive been pleased.
Have a good one all!

I am wondering if I should get new bottles and feed tubes. I have no idea where to find those now. Have not thought of all this stuff in years and I get back on ECF and I'm suddenly paranoid. Heehee

 

[Robinowitz]

What size bottles (for minis or grands)? I might have a couple extra minis. I know that @jifjifjif needed tubing, he had to buy elsewhere as none of us still around had any extra.

 

[Rat2chat2]

Thank you so much for the kind offer. There is nothing wrong with mine, I am just getting paranoid. I guess they can wear out but I haven't done it yet. There is a lot to be said for having more than one reo. Thank goodness I do.

It's been a little while so...........

If you never did, try out a squishy silicone bottle in a Reo.
Takes a little getting used to - but I've mostly switched to them (all sorts of sources - none but China I could point to just now).
Here's one - and again - it's SOFT.

Train2, that looks EXACTLY like what my poor arthritic thumb needs. Thank you so much (again)

You have been so nice to me, I am going to behave myself and let that last comment go! heehee

All jokes aside. . . thank you.

@Rat2chat2 if you want to try a couple of those soft bottles that @Train2 was referring to just PM me. They are wonderfully soft, they just aren’t for me. Lots of folks like them though.
Hey @jifjifjif! Good to see you. Looks yummy! Who knew that beer could dome in so many flavors?? Kinda like e-juice huh? Haha

 

[Rat2chat2]

YAY! I got those bottles ordered! Been years since I bought from Fasttech. There was not much of a need after I started using the reo. Brings back lots of memories of when I first started vaping almost 9 years ago. You know what? I am still amazed that I quit smoking and grateful for all the wonderful people here.

 

[Rat2chat2]

Well, that's is the story of my life. heehee I shopped early tonight.

Thank you so much for the kind offer though. I am looking forward to trying them because I was not kidding about my hands. I have had surgery on both of them for Carpal Tunnel and of course, I am at the age for arthritis. Yippee! Whatever helps to keep me strumming and squonking. Thanks again.

Squonk on!

I can't believe I got my batteries today. 18650Batteries sure has speedy delivery. Not sure how long it takes from Fasttech nowadays but it doesn't matter because I love the anticipation. heehee

Enjoy your day!

I hate to admit this but I had to google abv. I need a Quaff Counselor or a knowledgeable drinking buddy. You drink some interesting things. Love your pics and reos.

 

[Rat2chat2]

I am absolutely amazed at how long a new battery lasts! Kept putting it back in the charger to check it. If I had known. . . I would have bought new ones years ago. Now I don't want to use the old ones! Guess those will be retired to flashlight only.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a cousin come in town for a visit and ate enough to last me till April.

Great news! I tend to buy new batteries every year or 18 months. Sure does make a difference. Vape on!

 

[Rat2chat2]

I received a shipping notice on my Fasttech order yesterday. I am not sure how long it will take from this point but I know I can't wait to try the new bottles. I could only find the ones for my grands. They're all getting a vape-lift.

Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine was going pretty good till my aunt called and said a huge limb fell out of her tree. Guess who gets to saw it up and drag it to a brush pile tomorrow? She is 90 and dislocated her shoulder a while back. Not going to be much help there. And my dad is 88. I don't really mind and I love to help anyone but I'm getting a little too old for this kind of stuff.
