One thing I will say about "Vapage" the maker of the Vmod, is their 1.5ohm hybrid slant coil attys are outstanding! Especially now that it's sitting on my reo ; )
BTW...you can also call Rob on the phone about getting a blemished REO. He didn't have any on his site, but when I called he said he had a couple.
I used their hybrid slant coil attys on my reo. I agree that they are outstanding. The problem was that I could only get 3 days or so from them, and they are too expensive to continue to use them. I replaced my last one with a RM2 and have never looked back. The RM2 is even better than the hybrid. Note that I vape NETs exclusively, which can account for the fact that the attys only lasted me 3 days. I change the wick in the RM2 (cotton) daily, and dry burn the coil. They get majorly gunked up in a day's time.

As he lists his REO on the classifieds.... and states" bottom feeding just isn't for him"I've also owned both Vmod and REO Grand. IMO there is no comparison! I had my VMOD for a week before I sold it. To me It did not sit in my hand comfortably. The squonking was very Inconsistent. And most of the time the draw was very, very tight.
...So I bought a grand. I've only had it for two days, but so far it's everything I wanted from the Vmod and more. It's comfortable, super easy to squonk, and the draw has been perfect. I love it!

But, it's everything the vmod isn't...That didn't take long!!! Sad day for REOville. At least he gave the Vmod a week, I don't think the REO lasted 4 days!!! Bummer...
Even those who never owned a REO recommend the RM2 as a top RDA. I've used a squid, igo-s, igo-W, igo-L and none compare. To be honest, one could modify those to perform on pair with an RM2 (possibly) but to find that sweet spot is a hassle. The thing is the RM2 is not meant for dripping as per say, the reason it is glorified is because of how effective it is at bottom feeding. If I want to drip and not corrupt the flavor, I got my sealed connector RDAs. Thanks to the way the RM2 works I can flood it without a worry knowing the excess will go down.The rm2, as nice as it is, isn't perfect. The recessed feed hole in the base will allow other flavored liquid you DRIP into the tube and gets drawn into the bottle corrupting the bottle flavor.
I really strongly prefer the ergonomics of the vmod. The much lighter weight and rounded outside edges feel so much better in hand. No it's not the same quality as a REO. In pocket you hardly notice the vmod xl with battery,rba, and a full juice bottle. You know you're carrying a REO even if it's just the body minus battery, juice, and rba. That's the trade off of the reo's simple quality. The REO could definitely lose a few. You're mod needs to survive big drops, not thermonuclear war. Then you have the Vmod and their cheap plastic innards and aluminum shell which provides the lightweight. Flimsy when separate, together acceptable strong. Will survive some good drops but, it WILL break sooner or later. Maybe years, maybe months. It would be vastly improved if they just used a higher quality plastic. Metal chassis would require a redesign or insulating the wires.
Pricing. REO grand.$144, sales never, blemishes for $115 i think, retains value can be sold later and maybe get one on the classifieds for a little cheaper.
Vmod xl $84.95, sales often up to 40% which I think is the right price for the Vmod xl. Puts it around $60 which is worth every penny.
Even the size of the RDA matters, as a smaller RDA will give a more concentrated vape. You can mod most RDA to make them perform close/on pair to higher priced (and arguably quality) ones. The RM2 stock is relatively perfect, with the only thing coming to mind that you'd want to mess with being the airhole. Something the RM2 can do that those can't? The way it feeds the juice, which of course you already stated that was a con for you.Any RBA/RDA and it's performance is in the hands of the builder. Unless the design is totally flawed. Tell me what you can do on a Rm2 that you can't do on a squid, igo-l, or trident?
Can you really disregard one of the best features of a bottom feeder in the ability to drip a new flavor at any time? And still have a bottle of your favorite on demand...
