Hey all, just wanted to see what most people like for their choice of juice and share with you my experience and trials/lessons learned.
First off, I'd like to say that it was my buddies at work who were the ones to introduce me to the Reo Grand, and I'm glad I listened and pulled the trigger on it. I was a smoker for around 14yrs, and when my son was born I decided to quit smoking as I didn't want that habit around him as an infant. I had quit for 4 1/2 yrs, when one night at work I caved and had my first smoke again. That was a huge mistake and led to me smoking again up until recently. I currently serve in the US Air Force, stationed in Southern Georgia. I'm a engine mechanic and work on the flight line in a shop that consists of 3 different career fields, I work with aircraft electricians, and avionics technicians. I'm in a management position and I guess I let my stress get the best of me, which in turn leads me to believe that's why I started smoking again. It was sorta like my own escape, I could step out away from certain people, have a relaxing smoke, recoup and go back to work. I finally decided two months ago enough was enough and had expressed to my friends that I wanted to quit again, but I didn't want to do it cold turkey. Many of them suggested that I try vaping, and many of them already had a reo grand, some others have your tube mods and gadgets like that. Anyway, I finally decided you know what...I'll give it a try and I visited a local vapor store and picked up a mvp2 starter kit, tank, and some juice. The first two days, everything was great...juice tasted good (I picked up vanapple wood - thevaporhut.com sells the one I use) until the third day, that's when I started experiencing problems. I was ......, three days into it and I had already had my first tank leak, and the coil burned out. Then I found out it's like $16 for 5 coils, and I know I'll have to change them every 3 days, that didn't go over well with me. Mean while, my buddies were like you realize that's money waisted, the store won't take back your stuff now that you've used it. Needless to say, they were right....I went home that night grabbed the iPad, and placed my first order thru reos mods. 4 days later I had my reo, the best decision ever to get this thing. Luckily, my friends at work who all own reos helped me get everything started. I had ordered a bundle of wire online, as well as batteries and a charger. I actually received my batteries a day before the reo arrived and I got my wire the same day as the reo. Unfortunately I waited another week until the charger finally showed up, but I just had my buddies charging my batteries for me those couple of days. Once I got the reo I immediately jumped into the sub ohm building. One thing I noticed when I had the MVP2, was that I realized I was a lung hitter. One of the problems I kept having over and over again was that I would flood the drip tip and get juice that I had sucked up all in my mouth, guess I wasn't allowing it to burn off the crappy 1.8ohm coil I had in there. Also, it wasn't airy enough and I hardly got any vapor. I just wasn't pleased with that setup. Once I picked the color of my LP grand, my buddy was like don't even question me, I know which atty you need to order and it's the RM5. Don't question it, just do it...so I did, and I gotta say i love it. Dual coils, tons of air, big vapor, good flavor...it's simply perfect. I'm also, glad I spent some money on my batteries and got Sony VTC5s, one of my friends who ordered his reo LP grand a day after me messed up and ordered some ....ty effect batteries and he said there already giving him problems. He said he's gonna order some of the Sony vtc's too. Anyway, I'm glad to have such an awesome support group at work, and now at home with this forum. As far as juice, I have found my own place to shop and it's called thevaporhut.com. My very first order from them, I left a comment saying I was vaping 6mg, but I selected 12mg because I didn't think 6mg was enough, but I was worried that it would have a harder throat hit. I was ordering 100ml of juice and the store actually called me and we were able to decide to make a 9mg batch instead of 12mg. I was surprised that they would even consider calling me, making sure it was in fact what I wanted. Then I received the order in the mail like 4/5 days later, fast shipping. I paid $56, $50 for the 100ml bottle and $6 for shipping. Then once I opened the package I found out that they gave me 3 different free samples, those three were some of their best sellers, and each sample bottle they gave me was 20ml bottles all custom batch made to 9mg. So, really I paid $56, and ended up getting 160ml juice total in four different flavors. I thought that was awesome, oh yeah there was also a free sticker and a coozie with their logo on it in the package. This last order I place about a week ago, I mentioned another free sample and they gave me a free 30ml bottle of juice to try along with everything I ordered. So, like I said thevaporhut.com, that's where I get all my juice, and so far I haven't had a flavor I didn't like, they've all been good. I do have my favorites though which are vanapple wood and mossy oak. Wooky cookie and P.M.S. both are pretty good as well. I know this is so long, I had a lot I wanted to share. I hope you take the time to read it, and please let me know which juice you all prefer.
Couple of my friends also order thru backwoods brew, and one of my friends who helped me make my final decisions when ordering my reo and atty, he actually makes his own juice and it's not bad at all. It doesn't have any nic in it though, but still really good.
