All Things Reo

[RIEFY]

personally the key to the reo success has to stem from the simplicity of it. Its like apple products they just work!

I too was/am not totally blown away with product however i would recommend it.

i am still tinkering with wicking options as i suspect i am getting an odd flavour/taste from my cotton which is bizzare as it has been boiled and air dried.

all things aside i cannot complain as with any gear you buy you will need to customise it to suit your prefference and taste!

Zeegee is absolutely correct. even tho I am satisfied with the build I will just try all the different coil options.

I sold the black wrinkle grand. my intention when ordering 3 was just to have 2 backups just incase something goes wrong. now that I have had them in my hands I dont feel the need for 3 as this thing is so well buil I doubt I will ever need a back up. so the mini is for stealth mode because its so tiny and cute @Zodiac. and my grand for for my main device. I also have a dripper for testing new mixes. so here is what they look like now. and my latest coil build. I just love the copper vein

[RIEFY]

The only way I can explain it is its close to the taste I got from Liqua bright tobacco so think maybe a bit marlboro light ish. It depends on the nic strength. Nic has a slightly peppery taste and I notice it at 12mg. My mix is 50/50 so I get a bit of sweetness from the VG. I can't vape flavour all day thats why I tried this and for me it works. The nice thing is I mix up a 100ml batch and I'm good for a long while.
Also I can add menthol or berry or anything really to the tank if I want a change on the day.

Yes, many Reonauts do unflavoured. They tend to go more VG than PG. Most report it has a light Marlboro taste.

Must try upping my VG a bit. Will be a bit smoother and a bit less TH I imagine, and thicker vapour.

 

[RIEFY]

mixed 100% vg unflavoured 10mg and its quite good. think I need to stock up

Super posts guys. Love the photos CVS.
Reoville is rocking...

Ok, so i just recovered from another nic rush, lol. Reminds me of when @Silver1 mentioned the sudden cold sweat at the vape meet. I don't know what i'm going to do, but one thing's for sure, and that is that i ain't under no circumstances getting rid of my juice stash that i spent ages accumulating I know the drill, half my nic content, which means i will have to go down to 6mg's. But then i'm probably gonna vape 10ml's a day, lol!!

Effective little thing that. Maybe try 9 mg for a start by diluting with a bit of VG or PG - should not affect the flavour too much?

 

[Zodiac]

Thanks @Matthee, will give it a try.

 

[Zodiac]

This is the culprit that gave me the nic rush

 

[Silver]

Sounds potent @Zodiac. I'm sure once you've figured it out you will be very happy...

Beautiful coil that. That positioning should give you intense flavour, moderate throat hit and, yeah, lots of nic.

 

[Zodiac]

Thanks @Silver1 and @Mathee, i used your advice with regards to positioning the coil lower for more flavour and less throat hit. I also used silica in this build, since you said that you preferred silica over cotton in the Reo. The silica i used was a bit too loose in the coil for my liking. What is the procedure you use @Matthee ? Maybe i should just try and get slightly thicker silica.

 

[Andre]

I use 1 mm silica doubled and pulled through on a 1.5 mm coil ID. See this post: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/index.php?threads/chopness-move-of-the-day.714/page-2#post-12228

Silica does swell a tiny bit once saturated. I normally wrap 1.5mm ID and and screw in 2mm silica. Once saturated its all nice and tight.

@Matthee didn't see your post delete mine if you like

 

[Zodiac]

Thanks guys, appreciate it. I only used single silica and it was clearly too loose.

 

[Andre]

@Matthee didn't see your post delete mine if you like

Why should I do that. You gave another option to get the same result, which is great!

Ok so im on day 2 with my Reo, its been a little up and down. First coil built was 28g around 1.5mm bit 10wraps 1.6ohms a little light on flavor kinda muted, crazy plums not used to that lol with out even trying. Then tried a second coil 28g around 1.5mm bit 8/9 wraps 1.2ohms better flavor same vapor production but started getting dry hits. felt like i had to squonk every hit. Both builds were with cotton.
Decided to do a 3mm ekowool with 28g 6 wrap 1.1ohm coil. im using that now. No dry hits but flavor just not the same. I put it down to inexperience but am soldiering on. I haven't posted any pics of coils well cause time has not been on my side. I have been building coils while taking into account a lot of what was said on this forum with regard to coil angle and placement/height. so will play around a lot more.

just thought i would update from my side. I guess I'm chasing what i vaped at CVS, i know its got lots to do with type of juice and coil so i know ill get there.

This what happens to inexperienced vapors when you give them Top-end equipment.

 

[Gazzacpt]

I'm sure you'll get there bru everything has a learning curve
