You forgot to put the :evil: at the end of your post.. :D


A Reo has been on my radar for a while..

Two things probably have prevented me from hitting the buy button:

1.) Can't enjoy different flavors all day when away from home like you can with clearos, unless you want to carry about a bunch of juice bottles

2.) Would actually like to use one 1st for a week or something


Maybe someday yet I'll be a'squonkin'!

I don't think we have the emoticon option when posting from Tapatalk. :( Too bad, cause I love the little guys.

But in reply to your reasonings:

1. Sure you can! I was a die-hard Protank girl until my Reo. I have the Mini, so changing flavors in those little bottles is MUCH easier than changing flavors in a Protank, believe me. And if you're talking about carrying around different clearos to just pop on a battery, it's even easier! Those tiny 3ml bottles take up less space than a clearo. I packed 5 in a little change purse when I went to Florida. No need to carry the big actual juice bottles. Just switch Reo bottles and you're off.

2. Anyone who owns a Reo wouldn't let it go for a whole week, lol. Withdrawals, ya know. :D

3. (Added by me) VCV tasted AMAZING in a Reo. It really brings out the flavors that a clearo/glasso mutes. I never believed it myself until I bought mine. I don't rebuild, so even in a regular atty, it really shines.

I have blue beard next to me that has been steeping for weeks, and it still smells like a bale of hay. scratch that... whats that green stuff that you can buy in bales? Alfalfa? yeah, smells like that.

white beard smells like that smell is in the background to something sweet. maybe honey? or myabe it just isnt as strong as blue beard, and I am searching for something sweet.

Does anybody have tips on how to steep this juice? I bought Straw-Gwab it was great at first but after a couple days I started to get these strong "peanut" flavor notes. I don't know if that's the best way to describe it, but it's a taste I've never gotten before.

It's common knowledge that some of this VCV juice needs to be steeped. How do you guys go about?? I can't find any thread here on the subject. Somebody told me to leave it with the cap off for a couple weeks. Shaking intermittently every couple days.

I just leave it with the cap off for 24 hours and then put it in the steep box in my juice drawer for a couple of weeks. The fruit flavors (for me, anyway) are usually ready after two weeks.

Now Monkey Business I prefer fresh out of the mail. Depends on how you like it though. Fresh has more banana flavor to it. Steeped has more chocolate and I feel loses the banana entirely.

Leaving the cap off for a couple weeks? You'd lose all the flavor.

Leave the cap off overnight when you first get your juice, then put it back on and tuck them away in a drawer or cabinet for however long you feel is necessary, all the while shaking the bottles once a day or so.

Ugh! I would never leave the cap off of a bottle for a few weeks. The only reason to steep with the cap off is to let any alcohol evaporate. VCV doesn't contain alcohol. If I had to guess, I would say something got into the bottle and contaminated your juice. I think you were given some bad advice. Sorry.

I take the caps off for maybe 10 minutes just to let in a little air and get the process started and then I throw them in a dark drawer and forget about them. I used to be a lot more diligent about shaking them every day but I've gotten really lazy.

Let's see.. bryan is too lazy to shake a bottle, I'm too lazy to squeeze some juice for dripping, and jrenae is too lazy to rinse out a clearo..


Next thing we know, RuDawg will be too lazy to press the button on his ProVari... :D

I've seen you struggling to choose between a Provari and a Reo. They are both awesome devices, but so different. Honestly, I would get both. I did and don't regret either purchase. I mean, I know you can't do it all at once, but buy one, then save for the other. They both hold their value, so they are good investments as well. :)

I would love to get both! Unfortunately as a single parent my vape budget doesn't seem to be what some people's is...so I think I will scour the classies for a used Reo I like, seeing as I primarily am a dripper :) The topper world is somewhere I'll leave be for the time being (which comes with the Provari territory, IMO - as I'd like a Dripper Pro with it - more $$$). With a Reo I'm pretty sure I'll just need some batteries - probably won't even get the RM2 but sometimes I notice the classies ones sell theres with it. Trust me I've made pros and cons lists - the whole nine yards. But yes definitely a Provari later :)

That would be my suggestion as well. I bought the Provari first and love it, but when I got the Reo (cause I don't have time to drip slowly, lol), I was hooked on dripping. I just use the standard atties on mine. I think they look better on the Mini. But yeah, I had to order the Dripper Pro too in order to be satisfied with the Provari after that. Protanks wouldn't cut it anymore haha. Especially with the VCV juices! Protanks mute 100% VG something awful I found.

Haha funny you say that! AT LEAST once a day, I find myself not pushing the button hard enough and I must be "clicking" the button and activate the settings menu!!

On another note, I got my first order from VCV today. The bottle of Monkey Business leaked during shipping, so I won't be trying that.

:-(

I did get to try the Vanilla Custard though and it's pretty amazing!

Never had that happen to me, but I've heard that happening a couple times earlier in this thread..

Did the whole bottle leak out?


VCV might be willing to replace.. photographic evidence might help

Can't hurt in letting them know.. :)

Nah, your problem is that you're a juice addict.. :D


A nice PV will go a long way in your vaping career..

Money well-spent, IMO


P.S. Don't forget the battery charger

Just got my package today. I ordered Monkey Business, Nutty Cookie, and Night Shift. My first order with VCV, can't wait to try them.

Also, they gave me a free sample of Burley Beard. It smelled unlike anything I've ever vaped before. Do you guys have a specific steep time for Burley Beard? I definitely don't want to taste what I just smelled :)

Although this whole time vaping I've been looking for something that actually tastes like a cigarette, I'm guessing this might be the stuff.

I just put some of the Nutty Cookie into a Protank and you're right. Can't taste anything. Should have believed you.
