Ugh. I keep torturing myself and opening up the link to my first REO.

[jwat82]

That's pretty much it. I placed my order earlier in the day and every dang time I sit down on the computer I find myself going to Reosmods.com and opening up the link to this bad boy: http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?p...&category_id=8&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3

Le sigh. By the end of the week my friends.

Edit: quick question, I have no idea why there would be, but it can't hurt to ask- there won't be any issues using my MNKE batteries?

 

[pdib]

oh! I like that one!

batteries-wise . . .. what resistance do you vape?

 

[supertrunker]

battery wise - anything i can fit in it! mnke's are fine - i like the Orbtronics, which are re-badged Panasonics and The guy above me was reckoning Samsungs but i could only find those on Amazon UK

I got some 18650 mnke's a week ago and they were crap until the weekend and then i cleaned and filed my Reo. But i still rate the Orbs.

Just so you know - the recommended batteries are AW 18650s at 1600mAh.

Sub-ohm isn't my style, but I got the MNKEs to try it. I figured any 18650 would work, I might pick up a couple AWs because you can't really go wrong, or have too many batteries.

Sadly 18650s are all different sizes - i melted a button on a Reo once by ramming in protected AW lithium-ion batteries which are longer than the AW IMR 18650s.

But i was young and had hair then and little sense.

Now i am old and have little sense.

They are not all the same.

I appreciate the insght, I will be careful.

I would probably full on man cry if I ruined my REO before I even got to use it.

those are the guys I got mine from. Arrived on day 1 of the projected delivery window (a week? ten days?)

 

[pdib]

the reason I asked about the resistance; people have had maintenance problems with subΩ and flat buttontop batteries. Sparking causing the firing pin to oxidize and get dirty that way. My wife uses my old MNKEs at 1.2Ω+ with no problems.

I use the Samsung flat buttontops; but I make my own firing pins designed for them.

AW IMR 18650 1600mAh are some awesome batteries for the Grand.

 

[jwat82]

I'll probably be vaping around 1.2 ohms. I think I'll just buy some AWs just to be safe.

Thanks for the info everybody!

I keep looking at that 1 too, I love the color orange!!

 

[greigster]

Is there any reason why the AW 1600mah is recommended or would it be OK to use the AW 2000mah. Apart from the Mah, are there any other differences.

I've been running the 2000s with spectacular results but I don't have 1600s to compare them too. I typically vape around 1.5 ohms and swap batteries around 1/2 way they the 6 ml bottle

Thanks Super_x, now that I am a full time Reo user, I just want the best for my children

As to why they are recommended, I have no idea, but I think they have a higher amp rating.

They have a higher current discharge rate to support lower resistance coils, and have a more linear discharge rate at those increased discharge rate. I, however, use a 1.6 ohm coil, and therefore a lower draw on the battery. Therefore, I can take advantage of the longer life afforded by the 2000 mAh battery.

 

[Sterno]

pretty much try and stick with imr and button top batts and you should be ok

 

[NicoHolic]

I have both the 1600 and 2000 mAH, use them both at 0.5Ω and 0.8Ω, and see no performance difference, except the 2000 clearly last longer. For those venturing into the 0.3-0.4Ω range, the 1600 is a safer buy. REOSmods only specifies AW IMR 18650, not which rating.
