Peter's Vaping Journal

[Silver]

ok so my aero tank mega is due to arrive some time later today, and i was contemplating getting a hana mod clone to run that bad boy on, but recently i have also been really enjoying my patriot dripper at night so i have a bit of a choice to make.
should i get the hana mod clone (R999 - R1700) depending on where i get it from

or

should i pull the trigger on a LP Reo +/-R3300 with spares and so?

my wife doesnt think spending over R3k on a device is feasible if im happy with my current setup, and i somehow agree with her, in a way.

what if i get the Reo and decide its not for me?

.....i need to meditate on this.....

@PeterHarris , took me a long time and going through a fair amount of experimentation with various setups to help me decide to get the REO. Its been about 3 weeks with the REOs and I am very, very happy. I am a guy who likes flavour, strong throat hit and plenty of convenience. The REO nails those three perfectly for me.

Why dont you wait for the Vape Meet and give the REO a try before you make your decision. Im sure there will be several REOs there with different coil setups.

@PeterHarris

Your videos are great and you do them so well.
Congrats !

Just some feedback on the first video (aero initial impressions)
- the bright window in the background makes you and the tank very dark
- sound is a bit soft. When you move closer to the microphone, its much better.

cool thanks for the input, i use an old GoPro camera lol, and i have notices the white wall in the back also limits the clouds visibility when i do tug from time to time...

Great to have local review @PeterHarris! I tend to agree with you on your initial reaction... the vape is no where as good as all the hype made it out to be... the real test for me will be today when I try a new coil (both the coils that came with it I think were duds)...

Did u like the blood

A wee-bit of a teaser, wanted more like spurting though ??

lol, then i'll have to start building coils with my jugular hahahahaha

@Rob Fisher did your 1st two coild leak or gargle? i can really see how they can be duds if they dont do that...
for me at the end of the day its the same coil as the previous one, with only 2 things different.
the silica wick is shorter, so that it stays inside the cup.
the cup slits have been changed to two little holes where the silica touches, probably 1mm wide x 2mm high (dont quote me on this, im refering from memory lol)

if you want an awesome coil, rebuild a 1.5mm ID, 8 wraps, 28G micro coil in there - Boom

the best thing about the new coil for me? - is the fact that you can build a single 1.5mm ID coil in the dual coild cup and not have gurgling issues....

You teasing us man

lol why do you say this?

My bad I was on the page before and had not got to last page on this topic

Nope Pete they didn't... but the flavour and vapour production were really muted... The first coil I had a test juice in so the second juice was my stock Menthol Ice to give it a fair shot... and that too was disappointing... I'm going to set both the Mega and Nautilus with new coils today and vape them side by side in case I'm just used to the REO Vape after vaping nothing but REO's for the last month.

Hi @Rob Fisher how much Menthol Ice do you vape a month? I smoked menthol Craven A stinkies and can't bear ejuice with Menthol in it except for Thug Juice. Maybe I will start liking it in the future.

About 10ml's a day. I was a Marlboro Blue Ice smoker for the last year or two of my stinkie +40 years of smoking.

try a coil like this. 28 gauge kanthal, 10 wraps on 2mm something. comes in around 1.7 ohms, my favourite kanger coil rebuild to date

that build will work.
the limitation to the old dual coil cup was that you could not do a 1.5mm ID coil as it was too thin and it would leak. you needed 2mm or 2.5mm.

the new cup is the same dimensions as the old cup, except now it doesn't have the huge slits on the sides, its got tiny holes where the juice wicks through, which allows you to do smaller ID coils, with no leaking/gurgling

@PeterHarris - thanks for this feedback on rebuilding for the new Aerotank.

@BhavZ - did you see this post above from Peter Harris? Do you think then there would be any benefit of having the Aerotank versus the mighty mPT2 for building a single 1.5mm ID coil? (obviously other than the airflow control)?

The coil cup design on the aero tank would lead to less leaks however it could be prone to dry hits.

I will try to get my hands on that style coil and do a rebuild of it asap and give a full review on it.

I am so happy now. My failed pina colada. 55ml of it have been saved.
I had different pina coladas that equaled 55ml so I threw it all together in 1 jar and added 5.5ml of pasionfruit. Ie 10% and called it FRANKEN PASION PINE. put some in the mPT3 and man what a juice. Its amazing.....I have 60ml of deliciousness in a jar. Yummy

 

[PeterHarris]

So thanks to Zeki I could give my table s serious overhaul....

Very nice. That plastic container on the right, looks like the skyblue bottles might fit - something i need to do.

 

[johan]

That vape stand in the background doing your video review etc. on the Reo, is going to look awesome.
