Hi, Plumes. And HELLO, FELLOW REO MODDERS! New to ecf and pretty new to my beloved reo mini. I was reading this thread and was so excited to get to help out (while I've been lurking on the forum, I've been on the receiving end of great help), but then pianoguy and CATastrophe swooped in and stole my thunder! They're right. Those 1.7 ohm single-coil super shorties seem tailor-made for the reo. I spent a wad of cash on the MOST expensive attys before I found the super-affordable little wonders. Let us know if you try them and if you're happy with them!

Where are you getting them? The 1.7 shorties I got are terrible. They go from drowning slurpy to dry hit in seconds :-(

idk it seems some flavors stick and some dont. I dripped a cookie flavor over that mess of flavors when I felt the mess of flavors was getting lighter. I thought for SURE the cookie would mask those flavors because it seemed like a strong juice. It did, and I thought for SURE the cookie would never come out until I soaked the atty in alcohol or something. Nope. I got it out by using it up, and now I've been trying a whole bunch of other flavors. I guess the secret is only 2-3 drops from the top at a time if you want them to be used up completely? i unno.
 
Commie, you're right! All 1.7 ohm shorties are not created equal. I really don't undertand why that should be, and I should've mentioned that right off the bat. Now, I love madvapes, so I don't like disparaging them here; but I got some duds from them. Slurpy is the right word. But the ones from smoketek.com were tiny saviors for me (boy, do I wish I weren't a computer-..... and knew how to post links for people). But please don't get stainless, not the transparent plastic. Those fall apart whenever you try to take them off of a battery. Plumes, you and others are rock stars for sticking with the attys and making it work! I think I'm just fundamentally not cool enough to be an atty girl.

I've just been dripping lately because I got in a bunch of great juices that I want to be able to review soon and I want to be able to taste each flavor clearly an unobstructed. But so far, whatever atty i got from my vendor, its doing well. It seems to work OK. Soemtimes it feels over filled. (It gurgles and it feels tight) and sometimes there is not enough liquid in it at all (No gurgles, but feels tight) From what Im experiences, I think these are the 2 main reasons for dry hits. When I notice the gurgling and tightness, I know not to add more liquid, and I also do my best to experiment with the power i put into my inhale. for whatever reason, I find that when its gurgly and over filled, different draw speeds/power can help u get a good vape even if its over filled. When its underfilled, I fill it with a drop or two. I vape those 2 drops and try to see if I can taste the flavor that was in it before them. If i can't, great. But if I can... Then I vape it until it starts to dry up, then, I dry burn. I dry burn by blowing into the atty while pressing the firing button. The blowing keeps the coils cool enough to not pop but hot enough to clean up the juice that surrounds them or the juice thats been baked onto them. I find that long, soft drags are best for most cases. If long, soft drags isn't working when your atty is over filled, then I experiment with sharp, hard, quick drags, 1-2 of those and I'm good to go usually. I guess the long, quick dragging disperses the liquid throughout the mesh and whatnot in the atomizer.

so it really is coming down to a bit of a science. I hope this hasn't been too confusing for any of you. I'm writing this completely dead. took a sleepy pill an hour ago. time for bed. Hope I've helped.
