I like how this turned into a reo discussion
I might add, that you don't have to build sub-ohm or inhale directly to your lungs, when using a reo. If you get an RM2, or something with small airflow or AFC, you can do mouth hits and blow it out your nose or swallow it and burp it out later...
... I am kinda debating whether to get the Eleaf/Naut mini combo for my mom, or just get her a reo...
My biggest concern, is like the OPs: how long can I really expect a coil to perform? Can I really expect this device combo to last long, without taking care or it like a newborn baby??
...so yea, I think Im just gonna take one-time hurt of the larger price tag and go for the reo. Besides, I already have batts/chargers, wire, ect... So you see, it would probably be cheaper in the long run to take the time and learn to build your own coils.. Its not hard...
Right now, I am cleaning/soaking the tank coils for my mom's current CE4 clearomizer. It has been working "OK" for her. She is still smoking... I let her hit my Sub-ohm reo, and it is too much for her. So I think she needs an RM2..
No disrespect for you tank-peeps. I just can't take them anymore. I almost smashed one last night that kept leaking...
