Waiting for my Reo MINI and OldGoat Mod; Anything else i need?

[rook2pawn]

I switched to bottom feeders because I was tired of wicking issues across the board. I heard good things about the Reo Grand, but they're too hard to get a hold of, so i was able to get a Reo Mini (there are 2 left last i checked!) and an Old Goat mod.

I bought two trustfire 14500's and i own a charger/syringes/juices.. Is there anything else i need?

I can't wait!! In the meantime, im vaping my ego-T. (Fyi wicking on Cignot's Type B LR's are consistently amazing, me and my girlfriend's Cignots LR's are working consistently across many months.)

If you are going to be using the two mods alternately you could probably pick up a couple more batteries so you don't get yourself in a pickle, but sounds like you have everything you need.

With a reo all you need out of the box is a battery, juice, and atty/carto. They are great mods. If you have any questions about it there is a great community in the reosmods sub forum here on ECF

I just wanted to ask, if the type B attys work so well... Why are you switching to box mods? Ive heard the type B's are better all across the board. As a new Ego T user im a bit taken back by my own wicking issues.

i assume you have 510 atys or cartos? if not buy a few heck if you do buy a few more. you can never have enough if you ask me. ill also second buying a few more batteries. also good to have a spare charger. i like to have a spare of everything.

im sure you will love your new mods. both are very good mods. im trying to talk my wife into giving up her egot and getting a Reo mini. i think i had a break threw today and she is warming up to the idea. she wants me to get her a cheap box mod first to see if she like it before she spends the money on the Reo.

Question, i bought a 510 2.5ohm bauway plain ol atty for my mini Reo. Will this work?

Secondly, prototype7: type B attys work when the wicking works. And even when they work, they are very muted for many kinds of flavors. Its not that its bad, in that many flavors come across well, and in fact taste better on the ego-T than at pure 3.7V (ego-T is like a low-running 3.7V where in practice only hits at 3.2V or so). When they dont work, i dont think i have the dexterity to deal with replacing wicks.

The bottom feeder mods are, i hope, the closest thing to direct dripping.
I have some ideas i would love to implement on say a ce2 but want to start seeing what box mods are all about.

yeah that atty should work just fine. you might want to get more than one though and maybe in different ohms to see what you like best. ive had good luck with bauway LR attys myself. they seem to last well.

ill also say that i never really had any issues with my LR egot attys i got from cignot. they all worked fine and wicked well. i stoped using them because i hate the draw and cleaning them but my wife still usese them. i still have to clean them for her so that is why im trying to get her into something else. i have some of the ego mega dual coils from madvapes on the way for her to try.

Bauway atty will work but they are the worst imo.

I'm just gonna throw this out there. The trustfire batts will work just fine, but you will get better performance from the AW IMR batteries (especially if you get into low resistance atties/cartos). They can be a pain to find it stock sometimes. RTDvapor.com is a great vendor but they are out of stock at the moment.

Also, the Reos work great with cartomizers. There's a thread about it on the reo sub forum. I'm not so sure they will work well with the OG mod though since it uses a needle to feed the juice.

What do you mean by better performance from AW IMR batteries if they are the same voltage and mah?
Do you mean to say they deliver energy more consistently at a certain rate than Trustfires?

Also, what is a cartomizer for on a Reo if you're bottom feeding to begin with?

And, where do people find these great Attys ? I cant seem to get anything than a normal 510 atty because no one has anything special in stock.

Is there a provider who actually has something in stock with these recommended attys?

Anyone have any URLs?

If you like direct dripping, you will LOVE your Reo Mini! Try an LR atty and a regular 510 atty and you will see a huge difference. Also, you can get a 306 atty, acts alot like the LR 510. The batteries don't last as long as I'd hoped, so make sure you have extras. I tried a cartomizer on it and didn't really care for it. If you like dripping, you won't like it either.

Here's where I got my batteries: Super T Manufacturing, Innovative manufacturer of electronic cigarette products. more will be in stock on the 8th.
I also got the Trustfires for the Old Goat mod here: Li-Ion Batteries and a couple of 306 attys :306 2.5ohm Atomizer they work really well! Just remember if you get the 306 atty, keep it WET at all times.
Got my drip tip for the 306 and some great juice at Derlin 306 Drip Tip
Hope this helps!

I don't have a link to the battery maths post but in short the AW IMR batts put out a bit stronger power and a more consistent voltage during the discharge cycle. Its nothing major and the trustfire batts will work well. But the AW IMR batts are considered the top of the line.

While you certainly dont need to use a carto at all, some prefer the way they vape or the fact they cost so much less. Most places you can get a 5 pack of cartos for about the same price as an atty. The way the Reo feeds you can use it to keep the carto topped off at all times. Plus, the mini holds 3mls + a 1ml carto = 4ml capacity. I was just trying to point out that you have lots of options with the reo. They are also reported to work well with the dual and triple coil cartos.

The top end atties like Iken and cisco can be tough to get some times. They tend to sell out fast. ikenvape.com and avidvaper.com respectively. THey work with the manufacturers to have their products made to specific tolerances. More or less they have much better quality control than the distributors that just re-brand the Chinese imports.

Edit: THis is the post that convinced me to try out cartos on my Reo http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/161209-reo-grand-mini-can-run-cartomizers-too.html Not so much for increased capacity (6ml on my grand lasts me 2 days) but because I got 15 1.7ohm cartos for $21.50 shipped. If each one lasts just one week then thats 15 weeks of vaping for just over 20 bucks. I tend to be hard on my atties and I seem to only get about 3 weeks out of an LR 306.

I was going to mention the aw imr batteries but they are near impossible to get a hold of at the moment.

Yeah, whenever something in this community is popular you can never get your hands on them!

I bet all the flashlight enthusiasts are grumpy because we are sucking up a lot of the good batteries

You might want to check out these Hybrid Bottom Feeder atomizers if your mods have a drip well. They work really good, designed for bottom feeders, and almost impossible to flood. I'm using the 2.0 ohm ones on my Vmod and they are awesome. More impressions here on this forum.

If you really want to understand the power of the REO Mini, get the AW IMR 14500 batteries, now back in stock at www.RTDvapor.com

Also, you want to try some LR atomizers. The 2.3 are just too cool for me. The best are Cisco spec from avidvaper.com. I would try a 2 ohm 510 Atomizers - Cisco Spec 2.0ohm Low Resistance Atomizers - Avid Vaper because the 510's are less finicky than the 306's, and the 2 ohm will still give you nice flavor with sweet or subtle juices. Then you can decide which way to go from there.
