You do not have to profess REO love (at least, immediately) :)

nerak, can you please explain the blind squonk.

Nerak is off arguing with Karen, so I'll pinch hit if you don't mind.

To squonk blindly, that is, not looking at your atty connector for juice to appear at the base, you put the drip tip to your lips and draw on it while gently while squeezing (squonking) the bottle. Don't press the fire button while you do this. The blind squonk is an unpowered technique to prime your atty with juice. When you hear a slight gurgle and/or feel a slight bit of resistance as you draw air through the atomizer, stop squonking and drawing on the atomizer. If done correctly, your atomizer should now be perfectly juiced and good for about 5 good vapes before you need to blind squonk again. It could be more or less, depending on how hot your atty gets and how deeply you draw on it while vaping.

A Zen Blind Squonker never has juice sloshing around the reservoir.

I took all my Reos with me to a Duesseldorf Vaping Meeting with local users of the forum. Nobody was there interested to learn anything about boxwoods or bottom feeder. :(

Germany seems to be still a tube country. Only Ego, Lavatube/Powertube VV and such things. (But nationwide we are already heavy working in the forum.)

You're just ahead of the curve. Be diligent, and when they finally do come around to appreciating the value of a simple, self contained system like the REO, you can be all, 'WELL DUH, I BEEN SAYING'.

When i have been to my latest meeting (about 1 week ago), everbody wanted to test one of my REOs and almost everyone wanted one, though they all had premium tube mods, one of the guys wanted a REO Grand so hard that he ordered a Woodvil 18490 for another Member just to get his Grand.
So I would say we are pretty much catching up in Germany pretty fast, we already have 50 registered Members in our Forum (DTF).
Many of the guys with the tubemods just invested too much money to change immediatly.
But sooner or later they are gonna have at least one REO.
No REO = not yet a real vaporista

I feel pleased to anounce my progress since I ve started vaping one month ago! (btw my decision had absolutely nothing to do with new years eve, it was a pure conincidence, but I rally did quit smoking since then)

in europe nowadays we are flooded with a large and not cheap offer of slim type e-cigs, what was also my start up. I immediately reached out for an eGo-clone, not satisfied at all with the slim stuff. but also the eGo clone did not satisfie my vaping needs, so I was looking out for bigger and better batteries and different vaporizers, not to mention the diffents kind of liquids, you know, it's an universe.. I discovered dripping and was hit! but dripping is nice in the evening, hanging in front of the tv - not for all day use... and that brought me to bottom feeders and the Reo Grand, which after a good week now is in my possession and my hot loved to-go-with-mod! it gives me a lot of fine puffs, tasty and vapy at its best...

let's vape and stay away from pyros

I forgot to mention that I (as a dog owner, *sigh*) am an outdoor enthusiast. Currently we have temperatures of 14 Fahrenheit, which does harm atty and battery (still using a 18650 High Drain 1400 Rechargeable Batteriy, not having the recommended AW IMR18650 1600mAh LiMN rechargeable lithium battery yet). stuck my Reo deeep in the pocket.

stay away from smokes, felix

thanks! I have to admit, that I learned a lot about e-cigs in two german forums, one of them, the "dampfertreff", has his own Reo-thread. before I bought my Reo, I started reading here in the ECF, which was very helpful and amusing too*!

vape me up, before you gogo..

felix

*and still is

we are NOT insulted if you do not immediately think it is the best thing ever invented (puzzled maybe, but not insulted:)).

...but REO is the best thing I've tried :D.
I am a vaper for almost 3 years; I have tried all the best and famous PV that exist on market, but since I have the REO, all other mods are finished in a drawer.;)
Now, for home or outside, I use only my Reos: I have 6 of them and I wait, anxiously, to have also the REO VV.

Recently I have also tried other boxmod (because I love to test various PV), but then I always go back to the REO, his great solidity, its sober and essential form, and its simple but indestructible mechanics, are a set of characteristics that, in my opinion, have not yet equal.
I used my REOS in all situations.....even while I take a shower:D..... I've never done any maintenance, and, to tell the truth, I treat them a little badly:p: but my Reos have never ......and I repeat "NEVER" lost a single shot.
