I finally tricked her into testing out a Mini. She was in love with her VMod 2.0, but the flavor production is nothing like the Reos. We found a nice black one on the Classies for her, next month she gets a Purple Mini to go with it. Took awhile to find 1 she liked and that was in good condition.

Glad you found one she liked!

Wish my wife would fall in love with any kind of vaping in general. I got her a RIVA to begin with and then a Reo Mini...she has used her RIVA more than the mini. We just got to the beach and she's been smoking again. I asked her about it and she's left her vaping gear at home. I don't think she had any intention of using it. Anyway, on the way here, she complained of the "sucking sound" my Reo's make when I vaped... I don't know if I'll ever convince her.

Honkey Kong- give your wife kudo's...you should be very proud of her! Good for her!!!

My wife started vaping to quash her urge to resume her smoking habit. She had quit smoking during her last pregnancy. When the urge to smoke hit her hard enough, I set her up with my KR808 gear. She has since graduated to a L-Rider varitube and carto tanks. (Boge XL 3.0 ohm cartos that I hole punch myself)

She takes a vape from my Reos every now and then, put she's content with her tube & tanks for now. Keeping her tanks serviced and her batteries charged is my job and I gladly do it to keep her off the smokes. She loves my blueberry DIY. A lot more than I do. :p

She was actually very easy to convert to Vaping. I picked up some Cig2.0 kits (808 style) at a tobacco shop in March and when our cigarettes were done at the end of the Month I handed it to her. So we had a Month knowing that we were making the switch. It was just all the money wasted finding what was right for us, not to mention the buying cheap stuff because we were hesitant to spend $150-$200 on something we could get elsewhere for $20 in a different style.

This sounds like my Mother, also converted to Vaping at the end of March. She does know how to charge up her Egos and 808s, but we fill all her Cartos and swap them out for her Weekly. Her Ego is a passthrough and she spends a good amount of the day on the PC, so it works well. I tried her with other stuff, but she has a lot of conditions and just wants it to be simple. She seems to like the 808s better as they are Auto Batteries, but she does use the Ego at the PC, and will sometimes take that with her when we go out.

Congrats, thats a great feeling.

Thank goodness my wife gave up smoking 15 years ago because I don't think she would do well with vaping.
Every time she touches anything electric or electronic it breaks for some reason.
I hear you- my wife is much the same way...I prepare her atty- put the juice in...check her batteries, etc., etc...
Still to no avail. Her laptop computer is the same way- she screws it up at least a few times a week- I'm always getting it "back" to the way it was and working before she did whatever-it-was to it! :facepalm:

Well Tim, you hit 4000 posts. I wonder if that gets a banana dance.

Holy crap I didn't even notice. It kinda makes me realize how most of my life now days is online.
I'd be embarrassed to tell you how many posts I have on some other forums. Tripple that on my scooter forum.

I think we have a slight problem with her Mini. We got it with the Tube not connected to the 510 Connection, not a huge problem as I just pushed it on. I was explaining to her that she would have to transfer her Lite House from the VMod bottle to the Reo bottle as they were completely different in how they connected. I went on to show her that there is a Feed Tube Tube and the Bottle screws onto it, then I realized there was no Bottle Top on the Feed Tube... It however did come with 6 Bottles/Drippers/Tops. I bored out the Top of of the Bottles, snaked the Feed Tube through it. I thought all was perfect now, until I looked up a bit and saw Kozmo drying out. There is an O-Ring in the Bottle Top to help with leakage, stock Bottles have no O-Rings.

I tried adding Pictures, but the Camera is taking 3mb+ Pics now instead of the 20kb Pics it was taking before???

EDIT: Okay, a bit of resizing fixed it, still do not get why they were so much larger than all of the other ones I have taken.

Sorry you didn't get the cap on that tubing with your Mini. But it sounds like you made one that will work. You can also use the dripper tip, no cap, just bore out a hole for the tubing. You don't use a o-ring that way. You will need a 11/64 bit for the new tubes if you have & older reo you will need a 7/64 drill bit. The older tubing was a smaller outside diameter.

I did not understand about Kozmo drying out. Don't know what Kozmo is. If you tell me maybe I can help you!

Thanks Karen! I will probably go with the Dripper boring until we get her second Reo next month (so she has one for use while the other is in the shop) or just go find some O-Rings for it at Home Depot or Lowes. Yes, it is an older Reo with a much smaller OD Tubing.

Sorry, Kozmo is my Tumbled Grand. He had a Bath and I use Gizmo (Silver Grand) while he dries out. The reason I mentioned him was I looked at the Bottle and saw the O-Ring there. We have a little Vape Station set up with Batteries, Juices, Cartos, Tips, and drying Bottles and PVs.

This is the O-ring: #012 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD x 1/16" Dia. Buna-N 70 O-Ring

I know this is a Revival here.

Can you also tell me the Grand's O-Rings? I would like to pick up a few extras. They seem to hold Flavoring Scents along with the Tubing. I have a Woodvil here that I swear smells like cat urine, though Terry says that is not it. Just some scary juice it was I guess. Probably that AVE "Gorilla Juice".
