too smooth?

[duby1622]

I have been using my reo for several weeks now, and am enjoying it ALMOST all of the time. I love the feel of it, the flavor from dripping, etc. The only complaint i have is that sometimes, i need that big throat hit.

I have used several juices, tried atomizers, cartomizers, and an rda that came with my classified purchase. No matter the combination, i cannot replicate the throat hit i get from the vw/vv mods. I use only low resistence cartos and atomizers, but thought maybe i need an even lower resistence.

I hook up the rda i received, and checked the ohms. it was .9, and still no throat hit. it would hit to the point of hurting my lungs, and creating huge clouds, but still no throat hit.

Do i need to build an even lower ohm coil, or does the reo just make everything so smooth?

Strange, at 0.9 you should be getting a good throat hit. Are you using a Reomizer2? Show us a picture of the build on your rba?

Place your coil as far away as possible from the air hole

Place your coil as far away as possible from the air hole

Don't do that. You want it very close to the airhole!

I think what he meant to say is:

Higher coil placement = more throat hit.

Lower coil placement = less throat hit.

I checked out the classified add for your Reo. The pics look blurry, and that spring looks partially collapsed. I can't tell for sure though...

You never know what your getting in the classifieds, your Reo may be suffering bad voltage drop.

Try cleaning it by filing the pin and applying noalox, and let us know about your spring. Are your batteries fitting in nice and snug?



Also, +1 on what Matthee said; upload some cleaner pics of your Reo and your coil builds so we can see what your working with.

The RM2 (if that's what you have) is highly capable of producing any kind of vape your after. Upload some pics and more info and the Reonauts will have you vaping in the upper Reosphere in no time at all.

Funk gave some great advice you should be able to roast your throat with the proper setup . I can make it unbearable with my setup and I like it rough

Are you using AW IMR batteries?
I ended up with a flat top battery, not an AW and noticed a significant difference.

I will get some pics up soon. The reo i bought did have a collapsed spring. When i got it, i not only cleaned it, but did a complete rebuild. noaloxed the new firing pin and everything.

Batteries are sitting snug. i used both flat top and button top AW IMR's. saw no difference.

I am vaping 50/50 or 60/40 PG/VG, at 12 mg. same juices and setups give me a throat hit in other devices. Batteries are fully charged.

Are you saying you are using same RDA topper between Reo and VV/VW? And only VV/VW gives you throat hit?
What voltage/wattage is VV/VW setup at? If you have tube-o-meter, you can check the voltage coming out of Reo.

A side note. if you want a strong throat hit, you can use cotton (if not using already)

 

[duby1622]

i have used cartomizers, atomizers, and the rda on both the reo and vv/vw devices. I receive a satisfying TH on the vv/vw, but not on the reo. the atomizers and cartos are all around 1.8-2.0 ohms, and i usually am around 8.5-9 Watts.

There is cotton in the RDA

 

[Filthy-Beast]

What ohms and watt or voltage are you running on the other device? what ohm, number of wraps, gauge of wire, and type of coil are you running in the RM2?

Running a 0.9 ohm coil on a mechanical Reo is double the the 8.5-9 watts you're running on your vv/vw setup. My best guess without seeing pics is either a bad connection with massive voltage drop or a subpar build on your rda.
If you could upload some pics that would help everyone here eliminate issues with your build and hopefully get on your way vaping bliss.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

Yes, a 7 or 8 wrap micro using 28 gauge around a 1/16 drill bit in the RM2 should be hitting way harder than a 2ohm atty or carto at 9 watts on the VW.

 

[newplague]

8 wraps of 28 around a 5/64th put me at 1.25 ohms. I have it wicked with ekowool, using 18mg 50/50 and getting hellacious TH.

The reo isn't going to smooth anything out, it's just supplying power. 99.9% of the issue here is the RDA you're using and the build on it. If it's anything in the reo it would be voltage drop. so the first thing to check would be your connection/firing pin/battery... after that move on to the RDA.

If you're wicking with cotton, and getting huge clouds and harshness but still not getting that throat hit, try wicking with silica and see if that makes a difference for you.

Honestly, it sounds a lot more like an issue with airflow and coil placement. a stiffer draw will make the RDA hit a lot harder, as well as where the coil rests. Not very likely we'll be able to give you anything other than general advice till we see what you're using on the reo.

A few quick test you can do.
Set VV/VW at 3.7v (sustaining rate of raw battery) and see how that fire. If that fires similar to rep, you need to recoil to desired resistance level that will work with 3.7v. If not, get a kick and dial it down.
Strip out the cotton and do a coil burn. make sure coil is heating nicely from center out. Make note of how fast the coil is heating. at 0.9ohms, it should be glowing red almost immediately. if there is a lag, you have some contact issue.

I had to drop my nic because the TH was too much.

What's the size of the airhole?
