Box mods??

[Andre]

Oh Andre must all your posts always get so emotional mate? I'm a vapor... This is a forum... I'm entitled to an opinion. Smile a little... God forbid any of us "vendors" try and use a little humor.

Apologies for stepping on your Reo parade

Not at all emotional, I am all for humour and use and appreciate it all the time. For me that went beyond that. Whatever your intention, no offense was taken. As Brigham Young said: He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.

@Silver i really would like to see some real feedback regarding the question you posed. i wouldnt mind having a regulated mod that i can use when in a hurry or out of battery on my reo where i can get a similar or close to the same vape as my reo provides right now.

Agreed, but what I am saying is building one coil to give a wide range of experiences.
Somehow my instinct tells me this wont work as well in practice because as you go higher in power you need faster wicking and perhaps more airflow.

So what I am trying to find out is if I get say a 50W regulated box, can I build one coil at say 1 ohm and vape it happily at say 15 Watts for a Nautilus Mini type experience on say a light fruit juice - then put in Blackbird and crank it up to say 35 Watts and it will taste and feel the same as my dedicated Tobacco Reo device. If you know what i mean?

So if the regulated can do that and give a great vape at both ends of the spectrum on the same coil then that would be fantastic

I have now found that commercial tanks doesn't like high wattage. It can not handle the wicking and burns.

@Silver if i may.... the question posed is a very interesting one. i for one would love to see the outcome. but as @johan has said. its subjective. not just flavour and taste but vaping on the whole.
this thread has already gone into a tailspin about which device is better. whether it be in jest or opinion... again subjective.

i suggest this.

i have a SVD at home. and a magma atty i use for dripping. the svd cannot go below 1.1 ohm and not above 15watt either.

if you give me the coil build to use and at what wattage for the svd magma combo on a 18650 batter and the same for the magma in the reo grand i will gladly test with what i have and give you my impressions.

@Silver I'm chirping in here, and only talking from personal experience (which is surely subjective); a regulated mod operates 180 degrees apart from a mechanical mod and hence the taste (which is also subjective). From a pure logic sense, its like trying to compare apples with broccoli, but thats also just my opinion.

@Andre @Marzuq @Silver If you would like I could send you my sig 50 for about a week each to give you an option of seeing for yourself what the difference is, either way as soon as my fdv order comes in it is going to the stripping table for my bf regulated home brew.
Lemme know

Thanks @Marzuq
Problem is the max wattage on the SVD is 15W, so the true "ramping up of the power" on the regulated is difficult to assess. 15W on the Reo is a 1.2 ohmer approximately. May be interesting but I doubt this test would bring out the differences as much. We need a 30W device methinks.

Lol, @johan.
Im trying to see whether I can infuse some Apple flavour in that broccoli

Lol, thanks for the offer. I have an IPV50, much unused for I am far too lazy for dripping or setting up a RTA.
Looking forward to your bf regulated home brew, exciting.

i agree with you 15 watt will not give a fair test. unfotunately i have just packed up my hana mod to send off to another member so cannot use that.
@Al3x maybe sending to @Silver will be enough for the test. from previous reviews he has proven to give the most detail and as far as i can tell is not bias. also as said earlier by @Silver he is open to another device if it can prove to provide what he is looking for. so if he is willing maybe that would be the route to take

I know what you mean, since I starting with my reo dripping is becoming a real PITA
I think I am getting a bit getting lazy and dont see the reason to carry around a bottle, drip and drive but that is replaced with 3 fully charged batteries to counter the voltage drop

Wow, very kind of you @Al3x
Let me think about that and I will get back to you
I do prefer getting my own gear though. Was just asking my question to find out if anyone had tried that comparison.
Its purely out of interest and to test the benefits of a high powered regulated box using the forum.

I would never replace my Reos as all day workhorses with a regulated plus dripper
And I have not yet had great experiences with rebuildable tanks
Maybe something like the big dripper on a regulated is an option
So far, for allround convenience with good dripper vape quality and size, the Reos still seem to be winning in my book

 

[Al3x]

Always here to help, and IMO the only way to know the difference is to try it yourself.
It's been a pricey journey for me and it has only just begun, next step hopefully by the end of this year is going to be a 150w reg mod, and a bf regulated mod. but with the way the vaping scene is going by that time there is gonna be a couple other mods out there that are more advanced, soon it is going to be hard to keep up to the times, but with my all day device being a reo, I now have a lot more to play and fiddle with

As to rebuildable tanks...have a look to RipT's view on the Lemo (might be a good place to start, and it's cheap):

A Reo is in my opinion the best box mod/vaping device money can buy. The only thing left in your journey will be to try out different atomizers.

It's like a bicycle in terms of reliability, nothing to break. punctures and broken chains can be easily fixed.

I tried a few options before I eventually tried a REO... I think the picture may tell a story.

that the best quote i have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. i will use it in future

I see it like this:

It all depends on who you are, how you like things to be and what you like and don't like to do.

I'm going to use me and Jaco as a example.

We both love to do resurge and resurge and resurge and waying up and starting all over again. So there we are the same but thats were it ends.

Jaco is the type of person that gets something that can do the job with all the cool little buttons and manovers with the littlest hassel and stick to it even after it has lived passed it's usable years. He is not impressed with me buying the Reo, he still gives me hassle for spending that amount on a Reo were I could have spend half of that on a Hana or now a iStick.

He likes his VTR, (I love it 2) and it gives him a grate vape with all the little buttons and lights he likes. But he hates refilling and cleaning the Kayfun, so gave that job to me.

Me on the other hand likes things simple and efficient. I'm a minimalist. You will never ever see me buying something I wont use or don't really need or have space for. I don't get things for there brand name or the status it gives me. I get simple efficient and reliable stuff that is good quality and will last me the time, and longer I feel it worth the money I spend on it. I also love fiddling with stuff, taking them apart, cleaning, reassembling...

The Reo is the perfect Vape for my Personality.

Moral of the story is: GET THE DEVICE THAT WILL FIT YOUR PERSONALITY AND LIFESTILE. And you will be happy.

Here is my 2c . I have an 150w box mod and I also have an stingray x . My friend borrowed me his reo . I did a .5 ohm build in a magma and tried it on all the devices . To me the regulated mod and stingray were quite close on hit and taste . But ..... the reo , and remember I do not have my own one , kicks ass !

Maby it is just the way the reo looks and fits in my hand . But it is the best between them all .
I must admit that I am a regulated guy because of were and how I work they are just easier for me to use and charge in my vehicle .

But two thumbs up for the reo . Damm it tastes good .
