Total Beginner Questions on REO

[mlinky]

Fair enough. I can see that most of you have (many) more than one REO, so I can always add a wood one later. I am going to buy the black/black Grande.

Should I buy anything else from the REO site before I check out? Feed tubes, extra bottles, etc etc? Any advice appreciated.

I would buy a couple of extra springs and a feed tube assembly. It doesn't often happen that you will need them, but if you do, it is nice to be able to take care of a simple repair quickly and easily. Add 3 or 4 extra 6ml bottles. If you want some atomizers to try juice with, the 2.0 ohm ones are fairly good, and reasonably priced. Also, the 1.7 ohm resurrector cartos are good on the REO.

The batteries you want will be the AW IMR 18650 AW IMR 18650 or the AW 18650 (2200 mAh) AW Protected 18650 2200mAh Don't go with the larger mAh batteries, they will overcompress the spring in the battery compartment. RTD vapor gives 5% off with ECF5

It can't hurt to have an extra spring on hand. If you happen to use too much current or have a shorted atty or carto the spring will collapse to prevent damage or an exploding battery. It happened to me. And the spring changes out easily with a very small Allen wrench. Then you're back in business.

Okay!

You guys are great. How many batteries should I get? It takes one, right? But I'd want a few on hand. Is 3 too few?

Also, what charger should I order?

I am getting all my ducks in a row here, and I can't thank you all enough for the help.

An 18650 will last all day, and you need to keep them in rotation, so I would get 2 or 3 of them. The Pila is the best charger and will protect your batteries from overcharging. I use a WF-139 which is cheaper (and get the car charger just in case you lose electricity)

 

[mlinky]

LOL, if you are ordering from RTD vapor, get a bottle of Noalox Noalox (you will ocassionally want to clean the firing pin and add a small dab of noalox) and one or two of these: Nylon battery case (just because they are cheap and handy)

 

[Streptile]

Okay!

From REO I ordered:

Black-on-black REO Grande mod
Extra spring (just in case)
4 X extra 6ml bottles
Extra feedtube and cap (just in case)
4 atomizers

From RTD Vapor I ordered:

4 X 18650 batteries
WF-139 Charger

You guys have been great. I am packing up and leaving work now, so I'll be offline for a while. If you think of anything I forgot that's a must-have, please add a recommendation for me here.

A drip tip or two is a must, IMO.

you will love it , you are gonna wonder how you ever vaped without it ! and since u went with the metal one the only thing that can go is the spring , yay
also u will enjoy being able to take out your battery and wash the whole unit under water without damaging anything

Welcome Streptile

Thank you to all of you who helped Streptile out.I don't no what I would do without you guys

 

[pnc81498]

Yea you guys almost talked me into another 1.... good choice streptile.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

I you guys!

 

[Streptile]

Thanks for everything guys.

Now I wait for the kit to arrive...

I will let you know when it all shows up, at which point I'm sure I will have some more questions.

For now, one final question: providing the REO works out for me, I will want to get one of the wooden ones. When is new stock listed on the site? I'd like to be able to get a crack at one of those before they sell out again.

 

[mlinky]

The next batch of wood REOs are going to be variable voltage. Rob always posts updates on this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...dates-sales-information-most-recent-info.html

If you are looking for a full size Woodvil, I expect to see them come up in the classifieds when the VV Woodvils are coming out, because people will want to be getting money together for the new VV Woodvil.

 

[Streptile]

Thank you again for all the help. Redeyedancer, thank you for the warm welcome. I guess you are the inventor and maker of the REOs? You must have quite a great product. A quick scan down the "Forum Suppliers" section shows 0-5 people browsing most of the subforums, but 41 browsing the REO forum.

I feel like I've chosen wisely.

One last question: Will the REO be suitable for vaping 100% VG liquid?

 

[davelog]

I've never tried vaping 100% vg, but what's in my Grand right now is 70% vg and it feeds and vapes with no problems whatsoever. I wouldn't imagine 100% vg would pose any problems.

 

[whatitstrue]

I prefere higher PG content but, yesterday I ran some 100% VG thru my mini. The only problem I had was seeing thru the huge clouds of vapor this thing produces!!!!

REOs rock!!!!!!!!

 

[Mudflap]

Yep. That's what Rob vapes.

 

[Streptile]

Thanks guys. I am new to this, but I have had a very bad reaction to PG liquid (my throat closes and makes me feel as if I am suffocating). I hope VG is the solution for me; I have some on order. I will let y'all know

 

[whatitstrue]

I find vg liquids to be very neutral as far as th and overall sensations. Good luck!!!! Hopefully that will cure your issues.

 

[lostknitter]

Most of the juices I vape are VG, Boba's and Gorilla Juice being my favorites. They work very well in the REO. I use Boge LR 2.0 cartos. Yes, you chose well!
