One of these days, I'm going to dig out a cartomizer, and put it on one of my Reos, just to go back in time. I haven't used one in probably 3 years. I only used cartos for a very short time, before getting into my CE2 phase. I still have a couple boxes of cartos around somewhere.
Russ, I love how giddy you are when you are vaping in the family room. That's hilarious. It's like you're a kid and your parents are out and you are sipping from the liquor cabinet.
Great video. These videos you're pumping out are sure to help others. Well done, as always.
......and I hope you have a great day too!

Another great video, supe. That was the first visual depiction of blind squonking I've ever seen.
This one was quite entertaining as well as informative - loved the enthusiasm you showed.

Excellent video SXD! 
I have a bridgeless atty in all my cars just in case. I use to use cartos back in the day but because of improper use on my part I'd burn them up leaving a bad taste. This video would have been handy back then.

Thanks super_X.
I used carto's like unsure^^ did...
..
.. Im now sure that I could use a carto from watching that vid... but I don't think thats gonna happen
.. and I should be able to squonk better, with improving how gently I let go of the bottle to de-squonk

I will watch this more than once because of CRS. This will be great for my squonking
Good job, AGAIN, Russ. There's so many little things you have to keep in mind, it's hard to remember them all to tell someone, and a picture is always worth a thousand words.
This has to be the DEFINITIVE tutorial on squonking!

Excellent Russ, nice to see you looking straight into the camera the few times you did, wish you would do that more often. I keep meaning to get some carto's from Rob as back up, I have a couple here but kept flooding them, now I know why Actually the carto's I bought were pre-Reo days and got me into dripping, which got me into Reo's.

Wonderful video Russ. I'm still new to Reo and squonking so this really was enlightening. I left the carto world the first chance I could. But after seeing your video I may even order a carto or two just to re-try them with a Reo.

My favorite video of yours! I still consider myself a Reo "noob" and I believe that the art of squonking can make or break the awesomeness of using a reo for a lot of people. This video was a great addition to your collection of videos.
What makes it even better is how engaging you are! I couldn't help but smile throughout the whole video. I know most guys don't want to here this, and I mean it w/the utmost respect and as a sincere compliment:
This was the cutest video ever! The excitement you show for the Reo and your eagerness to help others and share your knowledge is infectious. Trying to figure out the "basic ins and outs" of bottom feeding in general can be intimidating and comes with a lot of, "I have a dumb question"s. Your videos show that it's ok to have those questions and it's ok to ask them. So Thank you!!!

Thank you. There is no such thing as a dumb question about this stuff. I may be the king of asking questions. This is the truth: when I got my box of CVS sterile rolled cotton (I no longer use it) it took me about 3 PMs to Hildicat to learn that the cotton is actually behind the paper wrapper. I couldn't figure that out on my own. I thought that paper it comes rolled between was the stuff. That's no joke.
As for engaging - I excel with meaningless banter but avoid meaningful substantial conversation because as you can see I'm quite an example of ADD. I often talk over myself and lose track of my thought train. I am a good listener though.
Thank you again
. Kind words right there 
I use cartos as a diagnostic tool, and here's how.
If you have an old woodvil, which has the brass catchcup on it - then you cannot be sure that an RM2 is even going to fit it. If you use a carto and that fires, then it's your atty. That was a tip from Scott/Sterno.
i had Rob mill a special RM2 for one of my Woodvils, because the ones i had would screw in but not fire.
When i used cartos - the entire experience was geared to making sure they didn't burn, because that was their death knell. Flooding them was preferable to burning them and so a lot of advice at the time was 'wait until they just gurgle' .
I emailed your wife so she could see you vaping in the dining room
