What was your Ah ha device

[Stevape;)]

For me this happened about 2 weeks ago. Im vaping on a shoe string budget. So the classified is my second home and got my Ah ha device in a trade.
It's an old but working 100% Reo Grand. Yes it has a few battle scars and I'm sure I will ad a few more but I can tell you this. This thing is amazing and yes even I was sceptical about. Cause how good can it really be yet it is everything its made out to be

So as the title states what's your Ah ha device

Out of interest, what gear were you using before the Reo purchase?

I had a Rx200 with a tank or a Dripper running on top of it and trusty Panzer mech that I still have

When I got my Reo mini 2years ago, squonked her up and had a drag. Mind blown.

Interesting... I've got a reo on loan for this weekend, owner didn't use it much. Tried an RM2 and a Hastur RDA on it.. Hastur is a dual coil RDA, what build would you suggest for the reo?

At the moment Im using a Derringer on mine with 24G dual coil build 5 wraps 2.5 mm ID as I like a warm vape.

@Alex couldn't agree with you more. Everything just clicked after the first few puffs

Doesn't it take like 3 years to ramp up though?

Gives you a smooth vape as it heats up If you still feel its to slow go 4 wraps just make sure your battery is up to the task as you would do with a normal Mech

Lovely thread @Stevape;)

My big aha moment happened in May 2014 when i got my Reos

Prior to that I had mini aha moments. I was on the mini Protank2s and recoiling them - then I got a SVD and an iGO-L dripper. I remember dripping 5 Pawns Bowdens Mate in there and it was quite something. Then another mini aha moment was the Nemesis/Kayfun combo, also with Bowdens Mate. Was quite amazing.

But then the major aha moment happened when i first coiled my Reo/RM2 with a simple 1 ohm single coil. I was quite dumbstruck. Could not believe how good the flavour was for a mouth to lung setup. That was it for me and I am still to this day quite amazed how good the flavour is in this simple setup and atty.

My first Ah Ha device was a Twisp Clearo. Had it for two days and then thought Ah Ha this is a piece of shit I must get something decent.

My first Aha moment was with a NJOY disposable - my first day of vaping. Two puffs in, I knew I could use these to quit a 30 year PAD smoking habit.

My second Aha moment was the first genisis atty I ever bought and build. In that moment I knew that building was for me and that vaping could be sooooo much more than the clearos available at the time.

My third Aha moment was the first time I coiled up a RM2 on a REO (2+ years ago). Everything just worked. Everything still just works. Minimalist mech rebuildable vaping with an ingenious juice delivery design. Brilliant.

Nice thread here @Stevape;) . My first ah ha moment was not mod related. Its when @shaunnadan poped in to my place and helped me coil and wick my goblin mini and introduced me to dripping...
The flavor and vapour... Wow.
At the time I was only using tanks with commercial coils.
That day opened up my world to what vaping is about.

Damn @Rob Fisher she is a bummer.............the Reo

 

[kimbo]

Mine was iTaste VTR with a Rose V2. It was in May 2014, The VTR was half dead and @devdev piff'ed to me, the Rose was my first inport from China. After fixing the VTR and put a leather skin on that setup was glued to my hand

After spending a small fortune on the Twisp junk and flavoured waters cunningly disguised as e-liquid, my "aha" moment was finding this forum and my first reply from @Andre .... The rest is history ....

RX200 and Griffin.

 

[VapeSnow]

Mine is the old Sigelei 150w box mod and recently the moonshot RDTA.

 

[hands]

For me it was my little starter set up(Evod), that very first hit put such a big smile on my face and i just knew vaping is or me. Then i had a second moment with my first REO and RM2 that i got from @Rob Fisher and that REO now with a modded Cyclone is still my go to device.

 

[rogue zombie]

My aha device was the Spinner 2 with Nautilus.

When I got 2 of those setups, I really started enjoying vaping. Before then, I was vaping to quit smoking.

Derringer is not a flavour atty. I own one and barely use it. It tastes like air.

 

[Christos]

Without sounding too "snooty" my aha device was not the reo. I originally got a reo with the rm8 aka derringer. Derringer IMHO is crap.

The aha moment came when I got my first cyclone.
It wasn't an aha moment because I was completely bummed.
My diy juices that I was making for about a year prior all tasted like old gym bag and they burnt and left my throat scratchy. I was on the brink of going back to tanks when I discovered sind lovely juices and only then the aha hit.

TLDR: decent juice in a cyclone on a reo was the aha after a long time after aquiring a reo.

Mods... whatever. Real a-ha moment was the Geekvape Griffin. Just holy balls. YES. As long as the mod can deliver me 80 watts to fire the dual staged claptons I dont give a damn.

The griffin is a decent tank. The crown to me is way better in terms of flavor.
Agreed that the griffin is one of the better flavour tanks.
