Got my first Reo end of August 2013. After much experimentation, my ideal setup, going for as tinker free as possible, at this moment in time:
- Which Reo: The Grand, which can take around 5.5 ml of joose and a 18650 battery. I have a lot of the 6 ml bottles. These reside upright in a little box, filled with various juices and each marked with a permanent marker. They rotates into my Grands. As a specific juice is depleted and is not to be re-ordered, the allocated 6 ml bottle will be finished off and then cleaned, ready for a new juice. Battery wise I use VTC5s on my lowest resistance builds and Efest 2500s on higher resistance builds. Charging on a four slot Intellicharger, which has given me good service for a long time. Will be on the lookout for the new mechanical 18650 Woodvil, due for release in February of 2015. And, one can always do with a longer lasting battery - the day we get a 18650, which lasts for the whole bottle on the Reo, will be a good day!
- Atomizer: For tobacco and dessert juices I still prefer the Reomizer 2 with standard air holes. For most other juices, the Cyclops and Odin with dual coils and air slits adjusted as my mood or the juice dictates. For me the Reomizer 2 is still the most leak proof of them all - it can tolerate a lot of oversquonking. With the others one has to be more careful. Just seen a new atty, the Darang, here. The air slits exit at the top of the atty and then channels inside the walls of the atty to the coils. And a deep juice well. If it can be modded to bottom feed, this could be the serial oversquonker's dream. Very expensive at around $130. @kimbo is looking at good clones for us.
- Coiling: For dual coils on the Cyclops and Odin, my preference is still for stock standard micro coils, around 8/9 wraps of 28 or 27 g Kanthal A1 wire on 1.5 ID mandrel to about 0.55 ohms. For the Reomizer 2 - ugly or spaced coils directly around the wicking material, which is socked on a 1.2 mm mandrel. Around 4 wraps of 27 g round wire or ribbon wire to between 0.65 to 0.75 ohms.
- Wicking material: Ceramic, 2 mm for micro coils and 3 mm for ugly coils. Unfortunately not freely available, but a little goes a long way. Last for months on end - used one for 4 months. Just dry burn around every 3 days, depending on the juice. After ceramic I prefer authentic Ekowool and then Rayon. Cotton has never worked for me, get a horrible taste from it.
