The Reo review from a Mod novice perspective

[ShannonS]

And it's here.... Reo Maple with Purple Heart Door.

Ordering would have been easier if it was plain that you had to order special batteries and the charger from a different site and the Reo does not come with these items.

This is my first mod, maybe it's just understood that the purchaser should know that mods don't come with batteries and that you are going to have to track down the right kind and a charger that works with them.

Fortunately, the modification artist responsible for the Reo responded to my questions within a few hours of me thinking to ask them and patiently explained to my noobness what I needed to get in order to be ready for my Reo to arrive.

I found the Reo is brilliant in its simplicity and very easy to put together. After the battery was charged, I had it loaded with juice and was vaping in about a minute.

The Reo seems idiot-proof to prepare and use if you watch the little tutorial beforehand. (The guy on it is kinda cute, too )

I'm in love with this mod. My first concern was that it would be too big or awkward for my smallish hands but it's very comfortable to use.

I tried it with 510, 510 lr, the 901 and the ...8xx I don't remember that atty number. The LR made the vapor a bit too hot with too much TH for my taste. The 8xx whatever seemed hard to suck on. The regular 510 was awesome and the 901 was my vape sweet spot.

I love how it can use any atty and how easy it is to compare the vapor from the different attys.

I feel so free not having to constantly fiddle with carts and attys and I can just sit back and vape. I'm a hospice nurse and I spend hours on the road every day. My friends and family have seen me drip and drive and try to fill/change carts while driving and they all plan to write thank you cards to Reo.

The downside is that I'm going to have to cut my juice tonight. 36mg is way too much for me on this mod. This is strange, because the same juice it isn't too strong for me with my eGo. I think the Reo makes more use of the juice. I'm drawing less often because I'm getting such magnificent drags off the Reo. So my juice is probably going last a lot longer. That's not really a downside once I think about it.

As I sat here writing this, I cut my 36mg down to 24mg and it's still too strong. Not sure what's happening here but it looks like I'm going to have to cut it again. I swear I'm not chain vaping..LOL.

Pardon my rambling review, I'm a bit buzzed right now No Reo for me for the next hour while I cut this juice down to 18. LOL!

Ty for the great mod.

I need dark purple attys to coordinate with my Reo now. My pink 510 looks really silly on it.

Welcome to the REO club!

I was a 510/Ego user before I got my REO and IMO, the reason why your juice seems to have that extra kick with the REO is probably because you're using a true 3.7V device now.

Depending on where your Ego kit is from, the actual voltage (I'm not too good with the technical terms!) might not actually be 3.7V. From what I've read on other threads, its probably anywhere between 3.2 - 3.4V and that small difference can have a significant effect

Enjoy the REO....I haven't put mine down in awhile....my wife often mentions that it's like an extension of my hand

Congratulations and welcome to the REO club. The reason the vape is so much better is the 3.7 volts and the fact that it is direct fed. It is like dripping in that you don't have to go through filler material. Once you have tried bottom feeders you can't go back to carts.

The Reo's are nice but to me these look so much nicer and work every bit as good if not better;

[Ma'am]

Congrats on your REO and yes, the ease of it use and no more refilling carts is fantastic!!!

The REO is the most versatile mod, any size atty and cartos will work with this beauty. That was the selling point with the REO for me, I want the ability to use cartos or attys depending on my mood.

What are these? Who sells them?

Those would be the new Ali'i from the manufacturer of the Kaji (Journeyman) bottom feeding mod. Not to take away from this thread but you can find more information here:

Good review. The REO is certainly a piece of art and very well reviewed.
