I can't imagine this happening to anyone that has had a Reo for very long, so it's basically a Reo newbie experience. What happens when you combine a week old Reo Grand user, chain vaping, very little sleep and working on multiple projects at the same time?.... the story below.

So I'm sitting in front of my computer, vaping like a boss with my new Copper Vein Reo Grand (with its brassy brass door I ordered a few days later) thinking I'm a squonking champ. Love love love my Reo. So I'm pretty much chain vaping while working on these projects that are headed for a deadline, squonk, squonk, hit the fire button, suck suck suck suck, squonk, squonk, fire, suck suck suck, squonk.... well you get the idea. So an email comes in that throws one of my project timelines all out of whack.... ahhhh stress... I need a vape.

Now I have no idea why my brain and hands did not work together when they have been doing this same action for more than a week, but when I grabbed my Reo, I squonked while sucking hard because something got cross-wired in my brain and some part of it was thinking that I was pressing the fire button...... what does that equal.....Mouth completely full of juice like.... like...... let's just leave that analogy alone.
:shock:
ACK!! I looked frantically around for something to spit in and ended up with a shirt, Bleeh! Now juice soaked shirt and I make a frantic run to the nearest water source... Kitchen sick. Swish swish.... spit, swish swish spit. Yes I know this seems to be a pattern of mine.... nasty nasty nasty taste. I mean I've done my share of licking juice (stop thinking what you are thinking) off a sticky finger or getting a little juice up through the drip tip, but nothing prepared me for a literal mouth full. Made my tongue numb and I had a hell of a time getting that taste out. About 5 minutes later I notice my hands were shaking. I don't know if it's shakes left over from adrenaline or if having that much juice in my mouth over nic'ed me, but the whole experience was very..... unpleasant.

So the moral of this story kids is..... don't suck while squonking or you'll end up with juice in your mouth. (a whole lot of it).

I always suck while I squonk. But I squeeze the bottle just a bit. Sometimes in that haze of absentmindedness I'll do either too much and get a taste or very, very rarely dang near a mouthful. Most times if it's too much it'll overflow the well. I switched from 80/20 to 50/50 juice and use the reducer tube to limit it. Been toking my minis for over four years so pretty much got it down by now. :)

:lol: Actually, it WILL get a little more "automatic" as you go along. You'll get some muscle memory going that will HELP keep that from happening too often. The motions become so second-nature that when you do something out of order (which you may still DO in times of high stress,) at least when you get that mouthful of juice, you'll know it's going to happen a split second before it happens. :lol:

Oh yes JC Okie, knowing when you are about to screw up but not being able to stop it happening is much better. LMAO (because I know EXACTLY what you are talking about)


Caught a dropped knife once...... the whole time my brain was screaming ... WHAT THE F ARE YOU DOING?!

But it's ok... I didn't need very many stitches.

The way I vape my gorgeous new Reo... aw heck lemme put a picture on because I love it so much



The way I hold it when I vape it is completely different from the way I hold it when I squonk.

oops, I lied its not. But my thumb is either firing the button or squonking, therefore I can't do both at the same time. I certainly hope this doesn't happen to me!

Haha ken I bet that nic rush just SLAMMED you. I'm surprised you didn't pass out. The reason that nicotine is absorbed through skin is the reason I wear nitrile gloves when handling my 100mg concentrated nicotine base for my DIY juice. Add to that the fact that nicotine actually is toxic, and for that reason, discussions on this forum of nicotine base concentrations above 200mg are prohibited. 1000mg (100% nicotine) is unobtainable and should only be used in a lab setting, rightly so. I believe I read that if consumed (drank) it's more toxic than arsenic. Not something to screw with for sure.

Little off topic edjumaction for ya'll :D

for posting your experience. I am also very new to reo and love learning new things about it. I've never done this (knock on my future woodvil) but it is good to learn from others which is what is so wonderful and reo people and ecf people. Nice looking reo. Thanks again.

we have ourselves a spitter, sorry had to :facepalm:.

Def not just a nooby experience, this afflicts us all here in the mentally unbalanced world of reoville. The numb tongue I suspect is from the nicotine, happened to me before. Wait until you try to vape without the top cap on, a hot coil leaves a nice little mark on your lips, too bad it looks like herpes.
