All Things Reo

[Reonat]

Right... Thanks to @Rob Fisher, my Reo will be on its way soon. Off to buy my tools this weekend...
I need to order some juice and was wondering if there are certain types or brands that vape better than others on a Reo? I tend to like fruity and creamy dessert vapes. Some of my favorites are VM's Monroe, Peach2 Rooibos and Banana Cream was also very impressed with Nicoticket's Gravity, CLS and Creme Brulee. My question is - are these all going to taste very different on a Reo vs EVOD2 and MPT3 as it seems that Reo mutes the sweetness a bit. I don't like sickly sweet but not keen on dry type tobacco's etc

Another question is Nicotine level. I seem to be comfortable with 9mg/12mg depending on the juice although Nicoticket batch was 6mg and I probably should have gone higher as it lacked TH. I can't bear the peppery taste from higher nic levels so am wondering if this is more pronounced with a Reo and should I stick with 9% or even lower?

I dropped from 18 to 12 mg . I think im happy between the 2

 

[Oupa]

Start on 9mg... you might find that you will even want to drop down a bit on the Reo if you are used to 9mg in the mPT3.

 

[Rob Fisher]

I'm all the way down to 6mg now.

Well I do have Menthol Ice in 12mg, 9mg, 6mg and 0mg as well as a 100% VG version.

But to answer the question... I would say between 6mg-9mg in the REO's and a favourite juice of 12mg for an occasional large hit.

 

[PeterHarris]

im hitting 12mg in my reo - but if you go 6mg and you need that throat hit just lift your coil higher from the deck

 

[capetocuba]

All my DIY juices are @ 9mg. Since I got my Reo I might just be special & different and make juice at 7.5% for my Reo

 

[shabbar]

The first day I vaped at 18mg n hit a silver very quick on a .5 ohm coil

For me the Reo is awesome on all dessert vapes and all tobacco vapes. Natural tasting fruity vapes is more problematic for me, but probably because my preferred resistance for that is too low. It does not mute sweetness unless you go very low in resistance - for me that is below 0.65 ohms. I have done all of the juices you mention above (except VM Moenroe) on Reos and all were great - for the Gravity and Peach I had to up my resistance a bit. For sure they will taste different on the Reo than on the EVOD and mPT, but different in the sense of vastly better.

That is a tiny thing, Captain. How are you wicking it? And that is a proper juice hole in the center post! Enjoying the Reo?

How much did you shave off

Ha ha.

She be tiny!

I wicked it with some organic cotton.
I get about three toots before having to squank again.

Hope it was a decent photo for you to be able to see it?
Its a very simple mod.
It vaoes surprisingly awesome!
Lights up super fast and glows epic!
Now I know what to use for light when there's load shedding. Ha ha ha!!

I'm absolutely loving the REO.

Haven't touched any of my other mods since starting on it.
Even ended up flogging off two of them cause they won't be used at all anymore.

 

[MurderDoll]

Shave off?

Do you mean for the LP conversion?

That was exactly 3mm on the button.
Definitely worthwhile conversion!
Opened up a whole lot more options with atomisers.

Todds quick 4 minute review on the Zenith update to make it bottom feed.

Some put a bed of cotton below such tiny coils, more touching the back of the coil so it does not interfere with the air flow.

That Zenith is mighty pretty!

Thanks for the tip.
I'll add some in.

@MurderDoll , glad you liking the REO. Your device is looking so cool with the pattern on it!
Quick question, is that 28g Kanthal?

Back to the topic of mg strengths
All this talk of 6mg and 9mg is making me think something may be wrong with me ha ha
I am still on 18mg on the REO and my coils are set quite high
@Andre , do you think we are abnormal? lol
When i vape the 12mg Vape Craving and VapeKing juices i definitely feel i need more oomph.
(Am on 0.85 ohms, 1.2 ohms and 1.4 ohms)

EDIT - forgot to add that i am vaping about 4ml per day. So not chain vaping on the REOs. Every say 15-30 mins I guess - will squonk and take a few puffs of whatever flavour i feel like having at that point. I suppose if I switched to 12mg or 9mg I would probably just vape a lot more.

 

[MurderDoll]

Yeah. Its 28g Kanthal @Silver

I'm at 12mg.
18mg is way too rough for me.
It hits me like a freight train even on light pulls.
You must have a Chuck Norris throat or something. lol

Well, then we and thousands of others are abnormal. If you really want to go down, do it gradually - dilute you juices with PG to 16 mg for a start and so on.

Fifty minutes of Phil... but he loves his REO Grand and talks about it for the first few minutes.

He has a "love affair" with the Reo and "still loves" it. Great.

Thanks @Andre - will keep that in mind
For now - lets hit our throats

I often think vaping at 18mg is a better deal. I vape at 12mg as my throat doesn't like to be hit that hard, but I chain vape to get the same NIC hit.

My wife vape 18mg and she also takes a few drags and puts it down. She tried 12, but then started supplementing with stinkies again. So, I've got her back on 18.

Kazumi never stops amazing me.

Oh right.
My REO is now named Kazumi. Meaning: Harmonius Beauty

Just an example of why I say this.

I have a bottle of 5 pawns: Grandmaster.

Up until now it has tasted OK. Not great, not good, but OK.
I would normally have around 5 vapes and that would be enough of it for me. This was in the aerotank.

Now in Kazumi I thought I'd give it a try and poured a bottle half way up, that bottle is now empty and I still want more of it.

This gives me new hope for the bottles I threw into my yellow abiss bag. No really. I have a yellow bag of abiss.



Kazumi. I love you!!
