Wow Ostrich leather... or is that croc? Either way... Insanely EPIC mod!!! WANT. BIG TIME.
What was your Ah ha device
- Thread starter Stevape;)
- Start date
Perfect tank IMO. All about the build and the wicks...
Currently using the griffin because the reo needs a rewick.
Oh wow. Ostrich leather has the most incredible texture. You a Karoo dweller? I used to visit the Klein Karoo a helluva lot. Oudshoorn up past Meirings Poort mostly. A big part of my soul still rests there.Ostrichi have a box full of of cuts
I'm in the Freestate, farmers keep ostrich but not big scale like in the Karoo
Edit: I think every south african must drive through Mierings Poort at least once
Hard to believe it is part of our own country!! Gorgeous. One of my favorite drives most certainly. I suppose with the drought Ostrich must be working very well in the Free State. I bet farmers can double up on stocks. Pretty far removed from our Bird Flu problems also. Crazy how fast our land is changing...
I had 3
First it was my very first dripper experience with the Atomic RDA, thanks to Gazzacpt
Then it was being introduced to bottom feeding with the KUI.
Then again when I held my first Reo

I disagree completely, okay maybe if you're only a MTL guy, I used to have two of them, and together with the odin they are awesome.
I didn't have the energy earlier to retort.
But ya, my Derringer - plenty flavour.
The coils need to be quite close to the airholes

Fair enough. Let me rather rephrase and say that the derringer compared to a cyclone has minimal flavour.
I'm also one to try 4 or 5 builds on an atty of different sizes and different positions before I disregard it. The derringer for me only worked well with dual claptons that I struggled to get through the centre post.
The cyclone with its easy and almost trivial placement of coils make it easy better than an atty you need to be mm precise.
I'm willing to get the derringer out and try a recommended built if you would like to guide me.
Ok @rogue zombie and @Alex, I'll try the derringer tomorrow and report back.
I never had the heart to get rid of it because I got it in black on the last order from reosmods and it was a difficult item to secure.

Lol... I would guess it probably isn't going to match your Cyclone.
The only thing I disliked about the Derringer was how hot the vape was on a fresh battery on the Reo. Because it's not the tallest atty.
I used to fight through the first half an hour to get to the cooler vape.

I oversquonked the derringer multiple times and I wasn't fond of the fact that it didn't come with a drip tip. I still haven't found the right drip tip for it. I use the billow v2 drip tip for it because it fits perfectly. I've given up the search for a drip tip for the derringer.
I got a white Teflon one with the purchse, and that worked well. For DLH that is.

Noisy cricket with Alliance dripper, couldn't believe so much flavour was hidden in these juices
- When, on one of the first iterations of the KangerTech Protank with 36 mg nic on a Joyetech device with a whopping 2 volt settings, I found I could kick a 80 a day stinky habit within a week. This was in July of 2013. From eCiggies.
- When I found NET (naturally extracted tobacco) juices from Heather's Heavenly Vapes, beginning of August of 2013.
- Also in early August 2013 from SkyBlue, the Kanger Mini Protank with Vision Spinner took my vaping to a new level.
- When I received my first Reo Grand with RM2 at the end of August 2013. Flavours came alive and nic had to be dropped (12 mg currently).
Woooh @Andre, you kicked an 80 a day habit? That is impressive brother, well done. Thought I was bad at 50 a day, which I have also managed to kick, but took a lot longer than a week. Respect to you mate.
Lots of just passing through ah-ha's in my vaping tenure, although at the time each was better than what came before it.
I knew no one that vaped, had never even heard of it until I saw a Blu cigalike commercial on TV something over 3 years ago. I had already stopped smoking, something I had always been able to do "cold turkey" if I had a reason to. I was hooked on the mechanics of smoking stinkies and pipes, not nicotine. They were intriguing, so I started doing some research online about this thing called vaping, found ECF and soon after was researching things called DIY and rebuilding as well.
First it was a bunch of KR808 Halo G6 mech batts and mini tanks for them I thought of as an upgrade to the Blu. I got an idea of what vaping was with them, but it was not the gear for a dedicated lung hitter of cigs and pipes. So I soon jumped up to 18XXX batt 510 mech's, VV and VV/VW tube gear, building coils and making my own liquids. Far too many of them and other oddballs have passed through the buy/try/file away gear to list, so I'll jump ahead.
I had known about Reos from the start of my ProVari days. But a half dozen or so Reo users that ran the ProVari forum were so obnoxious that I discounted their hype about them. Besides, a box with a stick/atty on top that you had to squonk(?) just didn't appeal to me.
Then, about 19 months ago... enter a Reo Mini 2.1 Copper Vein turned nearly black that came used with a brass RM2/button I bought off the ECF classifieds. Something like 3 hours after it was in hand and had been vaped since I ordered a new one from Reosmods, had four of them within the first two weeks and was deep in the throws of finding the best atty's for them I could. Have quite a few Reos and bf atty's for them now. They have done a great job for my style of vaping since that very first one.

My first aha moment was with the Russian 91% - what an awesome atty (was also the first rebuildable I owned)
I have to admit, even with all the high powered / high tec devices available today, the Reo still has its stand firmly in the market. Those that have them, love them and I am one of those people.

Oh wow how could I forget Maria my Russian 91%... I still have her and have never been able to get rid of her... she was certainly an aha moment. Here is an original pic of her!
Man I wanted one of those Sigeleis.
But they were a little before my time, so I would've been buying an "old mod".
And I fired her up a short while ago and it still delivers a pretty good vape... unfortunately the glass tank has been replaced by a plastic one... apparently bending down to retrieve a fish while the long mod is in your pocket isn't a very good idea!
