Undecided please help me out :) 18490 vs grand

[bydus]

Ok so I've been through quite a journey to find my perfect vape equipment, who hasn't? I've had a reo mini before and eventually sold it... because I wasn't impressed with battery life and I couldn't get my head around attys. Now I am considering going for either for Metal 18490 or Grand. Today I got some 1.7 ohm single coil super shorty and xl smoktech cartos and my wooow they are good, easy to setup, clouds of vapor and taste amazing - miles better than boges in my view. Anyway I got myself Gripper mod as well if AW IMR 18350 batteries fully charged and while xl tased good on them they were quite a bit better on my madvapes VV box mod at around 3.7-4.0V, it's quite weird as I've just tried 1.7ohm super shorty on SD keyring and it vapes awesome.

So I've been leaning for reo grand because I could use evolv kick on it as I always wanted to try VW vape, however now that I know that I'll be most likely using only 1.7 super shortys on my reo I could go for 18490, which is about 1cm shorter than grand, but on the other side I like how grand would probably last me a day or two. I'm also uncertain what the vape is going to be like when voltage on IMR 18490 drops below 3.5v and therefore grand would be a better pick. I'm a moderate to high vaper - depending on the day I guess, but I am going down on NIC levels so I assume I will vape more to get the fix. Also will super shortys cartos work well on the reo?

Please help me out, I wish I could get both but I can't atm - maybe some other day and sorry for such a long post Thanks in advance ;]

With the Grand you get the 6ml bottle. How much juice do you go through in a day?

Go for the Grand. Not that much difference in size really.

Yes super shortys will work well on either.

If this REO you purchase will not be your main vape or you use along with other PV's then that does make a difference. But as a all day every day PV go for the Grand.

Thanks I'll go for Grand. More batt, more juice and better option to try kick later on. I'm not sure how much I have during a day, around 4ml-5ml so I think it will be perfect. I'll keep gripper as my work/stealth mod and use grand to get me into vaping coma while I'm at home and on the road

You might be surprised on how much you will use your Grand when you get it. They are built to last and stand up to mostly any type of abuse that you put it through. Glad you made your decision and hope to see a pic of your new REO soon. CONGRATS and welcome to the team.

You won't be disappointed with a Grand. And I've been using the 1.7 ohm super shorty cartos on my Grand for a few weeks now and they are awesome! Great flavor, and they really seem to last and last. Good luck, and remember we need pictures when you get it.

We'll do I'm probably going to order it today JC Okie what battery life are you getting with 1.7 shortys and how much juice are you going through ? Also after what time do you experience voltage drop and do don't experience a pleasant vape ? Thanks again for your replies everyone

Gotta get the Grande I love mine I have to fill it less often and the batts last longer not to mention the battery options are pretty much limitless

I was using LR 1.5 atty's on the Grands, still do, and getting about 9 or 10 hours on them. That is going through about 3ml of juice.

Before the shortys, I had been using (and still do, a lot) 1.5 ohm attys....so the battery life is about the same. I know that tells you nothing. I really don't know about battery life (in general!!) because I really, really like the vape from a fresh-off-the-charger battery.....so I change out my batteries all the time waaaaay before I would need to. My batteries charge up to about 4.1 volts, and I usually change them out at about 3.8-3.9 volts. So I'm probably not the one to ask. LOL

If I end up just using a battery down to when it quits, I can get half a day with my 1600 mAh batteries, and I'm a heavy (6-8ml/day) vaper. BUT....the batteries are almost a year old, too....so that has to figure into the picture. Like I said, I'm not the one to ask. I'm not precise enough to talk specifics. I know what I like and I just continually "adjust" (change batteries, attys, cartos, juices) 'til I get there. It's a system.

the thing I love about the Grand
I can put a battery, and a bottle of liquid in the morning, and feel comfortable until the evening.

I love this thing
