Well, it's been 1 full year now of using a Reo Grand product. Buying a Reo was the BEST decision I made in the vaping world, and very glad I chose to give it a try. My Copper Vein (Chewbacca) still roars like a Wookie, and vapes like a freight train!!
The 1 year anniversary was Tuesday, but I was so busy working that I didn't have to even realize it. I did have a gratifying experience though that made me realize it.
While on a "smoke" break at work (Tuesday), I was sitting at a table using my Reo Grand. This cute chic sat down beside me. She was using some metal box with a DNA board, and a big dripper on top. She sat it on the table, and then sat a 30ml glass bottle of juice beside it. She began to tie her shoe, and as I noticed this concoction on the table... the conversation began.
She built her own Clapton coil and was vaping dual coils at .2 ohms. We talked about the safety of that, and of couse... I showed her Chewie. Talked to her about the concept of Squonking. Informed her that she could do low builds like .2 builds on the Reo, and of course, could use many different dual coil atomizers like the Derringer, Rogue, and etc as well. She even held my Reo and looked at it.
As we talked, I noticed rain clouds gathering on this 90 degree hot day. Many concerns flooded my thoughts. I had to mention the BEST part of using a Reo was not having to worry about electronic boards going out! She was very interested in that part (since it was about to pour down rain), and wanted to know where to get one. She mentioned a time that she accidentally dropped her box (didn't even want to know what it was that she was using), and worried if the drop damaged it. I told her of course about where to get the Reo Grand (Reosmods.com), and mentioned Russ's abuse video.
She was very interested in the mechanical 'bottom squonker', and said she would look into it.
As she rushed off back to her job... I sat there with a very happy, content feeling. As I vaped ole, reliable Chewbacca, I thought about many " What IF" possibilities that could quickly become a reality.
What IF...
All the above is something Reo Grand users don't have to worry about since it has no boards or electronic parts. We have other things in life to deal with, and it's a HUGE RELIEF to not have to worry about those scenarios!
Anyway, thank you ModFather for making the Reo Grand. The reliability, dependability, and confidence of it working when you need it too ...is well worth $160.
Now, if I could just control this Reo'itis condition.
Although Han Solo and Chewbacca keep me going, I'm still wondering if Boba Fett (Metallic Blue / Black door) is gonna come looking for them, or Greedo (Kawasaki Green) will visit Solo in the bar. Perhaps Princess Leia (Solid White) should be with Solo. What if Vader (Black SL/LP); Troopers (White SL/LP / Black door) and the Emporer (Metallic Red SL/LP) bagan to battle our Rebels?
..........awwww, see how Reo'itis works on people.

What IF...
- It Rained, and she had it in her hand as she going to her car? Water would get in it.
- Sweat and perspiration from her hands ran down the button cracks, and got on the boards and electronic parts?
- She left it in her car all day in 90 degree heat?
- She left it in her call all day on a cold, snowy day with freezing temperatures?
- She dropped it off the smoking area loading dock - onto the concrete?
- A glass of water was spilled, and it sat in a pool of water?

I learned a very long time ago that when you pass up an opportunity that presents itself, that's at least one more that you probably will not ever experience again in your life. Any opportunity can turn into a life long one that turns out to be the best opportunity that you ever had. I can't imagine how much less my wonderful life would have been without the two exceptional ladies I shared the most important years of it with. The odds were a billion to one that our paths would have ever crossed, but luckily we didn't miss the one shot extremely small window of opportunity when it did.
