Ya my reo showed up ... My thoughts.

[Remit]

I must say vapor production is great, ease of use is great ... But

It tastes wierd. Lol

I have been dripping havana gold on an eGo for a few months npw, and i love it. But it doesnt taste the same on my reo.

Tried a lr atty and a sr atty no difference.

Is the taste supposed to be that different??

Which Reo?

If you got a Woodvil, the aroma of the tung oil may be distorting your tastes. That's temporary from all the reports I've read from the Woodvil regulars here.

I've also found my aluminum drip tip imparts a metallic twang to my vapes. I don't use it anymore. Just the delrin tips.

 

[Remit]

It's a grande. I switch out the metal drip tip as well, but no change.

Maybe there is a break in period. Will hope for better results tomorrow.

I'll say that when I first got my reo mini after vaping on 510s.............I was AMAZED at the real flavor I was missing out on with the 510s. I actually think the Reo makes the vape "flavor" more intense, and true to what the flavor SHOULD be.

Just like a totally new hair style, going from dripping to a bottom fed mod, it's gonna take some getting used to.

I'm glad you finally got your Grand!!

So this happened to me...when I got my first REO. Flavors I liked on the eGo, I didn't like as much on my Mini. So what I found that really changed that for me is that the atomizer being used on the eGo isn't getting the same power it is on the REO...this makes a difference. Don't ask me how...it just does...for me anyways. It is possible that it could take a day or two for you to adjust or perhaps a 1.5Ω atty as opposed to a 2.0Ω atty might make a difference. Keep us posted on how it goes.

If they are "new" attys there is also a day or two "break-in" period...

 

[doots]

Attys play a huge part on flavor. Try using some different brands of LR attys too. I use a dual coil carto on mine and seems to get great flavor for me. Its never the device that creates flavor. It is the atty used.

I've been struggling with this as well. I'm currently experimenting with different atty's to see if that's part of the diff. Also as previously stated I think the voltage makes a difference too. You wouldn't think there should be a difference between dripping on top of the atty vs bottom feeding it, but to me it seems there is. I mean, as long as there's juice being vaporized does it matter how it got there? Edit- I've had my Mini for almost two months.

 

[Mvgratz]

I can HIGHLY recommend a 2.0 306 cisco from avid vapor. If you like a warmer vape, try the 1.8 306 from avid. The IKV 2.0 is pretty good as well...

 

[mlinky]

My favorites are the Cisco 1.5 ohm 306 and 2 ohm 510, for different flavor types.

That and the voltage (watts) some people think eGo and REO are both 3.7 volt devices ....

Most eGo batts charge to 3.6 and most batts for the REO charge to 4.2 .... that .6v makes a huge difference !!

 

[Nic_Fan]

I'm a 901 fan at this point. Just ordered two of them from Avid yesterday- 1.5 cisco 901's. Are the 306's more similar to the 901 than the 510? Not a 510 fan at all.

 

[Remit]

I will give it a day to see if the breakin is just longer with these attys. I have switched to bobos bounty and it tastes wierd too so i can rule out a bad batch of HG.

[Remit]

Ok so it doesnt taste bad anymore, still doesnt taste lile i remember HG tasting. I put in some apple pie from AVE and its pretty good in here.


Weire how everything is tasting different.

Thats probably the difference right there. The eGo is 3.2 or 3.3 volts and the REO is a true 3.7 which means you can get 3.9 (4.2 on the batt) volts under load. That makes a big difference in the taste.

If you wan't you can just try dripping on the REO and not bottom feeding. That would eliminate any concern that the taste is coming from the bottle or tubing. If It still tastes different dripping on the REO with the same atty as you drip on the eGo then it must be the extra voltage .... nothing else it could be.

 

[nerak]

Sometimes it is a taste bud thing. I have burnt mine up so bad I could not taste any flavor at all. Throw all things said together and you can take it from there. I DIY and have found putting more flavor in my juice did make it better. But that is just me!

 

[Mvgratz]

If you were "happy" with the taste on a ego at 3.2v and a regular atty thats around the 4.5-5Watt area. If it was with LR attys, thats around the 6.8-7.2Watt area. To attain the same taste you would need to use a atty around 3 ohms with the grand and a 18650 to simulate a ego and a regular atty, or a regular joye 2.3 ohm to simulate the ego and a low resitance atty. If you want to see what or which combinations will give you similar "vapes" check out the chart on wattages that mlinky posted in another thread... http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/469/wattage.png
