Just a token of respect....
Being brought up Afrikaans, I should say Oom
Hope the use of s... didn't conflict with another lifestyle I'm accustomed to, in which case, I'm very sorry for using it indeed

Ok, I see you are fairly new here - "oom" is equally worse! ... and before you end up in "k@k straat" let me explain quickly:
- The title "sir" is a derogatory title reserved for the British, descended from so called aristocracy.
- The title "oom" I only tolerate from young beautiful girls that yell at me: "yes! oom"
I made the mistake of calling @johan a sir recently. Will NEVER be doing it again! Thats for sure haha
@johan there can be only two reasons why anyone would call you "Oom" or "Sir", both of these originate from you avatar pic.
You have have your hand on your hat and you are posing like a gentleman in a greeting mode like "Sir..." and your profile pic depicts a picture of a respectable gentleman in his late 50's.
Don't stress...we all learnt the hard way. I did post a thread somewhere on how to approach that person...will have to search for it. But load shedding first!Just a token of respect....

I'm so grateful I don't have have that issue on this side of the world. Bought so much fun dyes batteries while i was home just to compensate for the load shedding

There are a huge differences between "sir", "gentleman" and "oom"
- never let an avatar fool you . If I have to make that kind of derivation of some the member's avatars on this forum, I will be taken to the cleaners for defamation. (My avatar is a photo of Leonard Cohen taken in his late 70's).Interesting the general 2 accepted definitions of the word: "avatar":
- Hinduism: a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth; an incarnate divine teacher.
- Computing: an icon or figure representing a particular person in computer games, Internet forums, etc.

Hi All,
Well previously I had a nice long post typed out re my intro to Reo, will see how far this goes. I got the Kui with the group buy to see how it might go. It was fair enough save for the reliability but after putting it down and taking up the IPV mini and Kayfuns and Russians again, well, I just couldn't.
I am not a master coiler or wicker of any sort and never quite got the hang of wicking on the RBA's for 90% VG, regardless of how big the juice channels were. I always had a dry hit. The first thing with the reo I thus had to do was get used to the flavour of juice without the burnt wick flavour (true story).
I am also a fan of VV / VW due to the consistent vape given by PWM regardless of voltage drain / capacity (can't seem to get the right term right now
). While I still miss this, having a few drippers coiled at different ohms has more or less given a work around to this issue.
This has however been a small trade off for the benefits of the ultra reliable vape given by the Reo and while I have seen some say that 'X' BF RDA needs to be coiled in 'Y' way, and the same for wicking, I have not experienced any real or perceived issue with this. I attribute this to my poor building technique and experiences which has left me unspoilt. Everything just tastes great or greater with any of the 2x odins, darang or RM2 in my daily rotation. Recently though, I have found that I am less inclined to fault even this and happily vape at .6ohms on the Darang all day down to 3.5V sometimes even 3.4V.
I have it for just over a month and I was in doubt right up until 30min before I had to meet @Gambit to pay and collect. Not being one to hide my fears I told him I was nervous about the purchase. He was really cool and great about it. He said no issues, come around to the mini vape meet and have a toot anyway. Funny thing is the minute he handed it to me and I touched it, I had to have it, it just felt great in the hand and everything else has been the same.
The vape meet was great too as I finally got to taste some other juices besides my 24/7/365 VM DIY chocolate for like 8 months. So with due respect I'd like to give a shout out to the other members there that day that opened my vaping world a bit more which was, in no particular order; @shaunnadan ; @BigAnt ; @dr phil and of course @Gambit.
I also would like to say thank you to @Andre , Reo's biggest advocate (Rob should give you a freaking commission!) and @shabbar who's pestering to buy a Reo I resisted for over a year (gaan k@? in elk geval ).
I think I still need a VW device though but having read how others struggle with high VG (ok in fairness they don't all say 'struggle'), there isn't much drive or urgency to run out there save for some variation.
Thanks to all other many great people in the forum and community, many occasions I wish I had more time for it. But for sure I am glad now that a good vape doesn't have to take up a big part of my day anymore.
Regards,
Rafiq
Oh, btw, here is a picture of my favourite shirt and some might notice a Reo Grand (Custom LP) in my hand
. It doesn't have a name but mostly I refer to it as "where the F*&$ is my vape?" LOL.

Really enjoyed reading your post. Welcome to Reoville and may the unnamed Reo provide you with many more "F*&$" good vapes. Here's your Official Reonaut badge:
Never expected it to be so but getting the badge is pretty satisfying
.Now to find the
to layout the dosh for the stunning engraving a la @Rob Fisher. Beautiful work from @hands but I'm sure owning such a master piece is even better.Please is there a combined thread showing Reo customisation? According to Google Images it seems SA is pretty much leading the pack.
Ciao for now everybody.
