Just because a device is a mech, that doesn't mean it was designed for super sub ohm vaping. I say super sub-ohm because not everyone is into mid to low sub-ohm vaping. The way I see it, super sub-ohm vaping is a sport, who can get the lowest resistance & the densest cloud. What size air hole are you running on a .5 ohm build, at least 1/8", 2 x 3/32", 2x 1/8"? IMHO there's no point in running resistance down to .5 & lower if you are not vaping with massive air holes, direct lung hits, cotton, & have an army of AWs or MNKE's at your disposal. Otherwise your's just wasting energy.
I vape cause I enjoy the satisfaction of vaping & not smoking analogs. I wouldn't want to be out all day carring all that crap to drip, to blow massive huge clouds, & make a scene. Sure I don't mind & do get the urge to blow thick clouds occassionaly but that "sport" is only at home. The community doesn't need to see stuff like this publically & start thinking things about vapers, we're already being targeted as it is.
As the OP states, that the Reo was designed two years ago & does not perform to his quality of sub-ohm vaping, how does that classify the Reo as being defective? Who the hell was running .5 ohm coils back then? When the Reo was designed I'm sure Robert did not have super sub-ohm vaping as feature of the Reo. So the Reo is defective cause it has not been updated for 2 years you say for sub-ohm vaping? What makes you think Robert had any intention of doing so? Robert created the Reo because he felt like there were no other quality bottom feeders on the market at the time & IMHO there still aren't any bottom feeders currently on the market that are on par. He wanted something that is reliable, rock solid, & could be used daily & all day. I will say he has done quite a good job of meeting that criteria. I assume you have no experience in machining, I do & I can appreciate the quality of design & machining that went into a Reo, might look simple to most but it very well thought out. You know the saying, if it ain't broke, why fix it?
So all mechs were designed for sub-ohm vaping huh? I have no idea when the first mech was made but I strongly believe the first mechs were made to avoid high cost & offer a more affordable alternative to regulated devices. When the first mechs came out, were people vaping sub-ohm, were there that many RBAs on the market then? So you purchased a mech with the intention of super sub-ohm vaping & assumed because it's a mech that it should handle .5 ohm coils without issue? Sorry bud, but that is no one's fault but yours. Remember, the Reo was made 2 years ago & has not been updated since & you knew that.
There are many mechs that do not perform well for sub-ohm vaping, are all those mechs sold with a disclaimer stating that they do not perform sufficently for super sub-ohm vaping? Honest question, I really don't know and I'm curious. Yes we all know now that Reos don't cut it for sub-ohm for your standards, again I highly doubt it was designed to be. Perfectly fine, a Reo is not for you, Boggers are your flavor, you should probably just stick with those tube mods that are capable & be done with the Reo preaching. I'm sure you have tests in your video that backs up your conclusions, that I won't comment about cause I have not watched your video & never will. I couldn't last for 1 min let alone 40 whole minutes. Wow I did not expect my post to be this long, I hate reading long posts, & I never post them, but in all equal fairness I don't blame you if you don't make it this far in my novel as I could not make it through your movie.
I wonder why this was not brought up & posted in the Reo forum? Doesn't seem like much traffic in this sub-forum, or was that intentional? Anyways no hard feelings from any of us Reonauts, hope you find the next best thing that you desire.
In before the lock....do people still say that? Does that still happen? I wonder......
