Just received my first reo. I am so excited. Now i need to go thru and read all the stickies again. Anyone want to direct me to some good batteries? Right now all i have to put in it is 2000mah efest and i swear i read these are not the best for the reos. I will not be subohming. I usually like my kayfuns around 1.5.
Finally I am a proud Reonaut!

A lot of us use these AW IMR 18650 3.7v 1600mAh - RTD vapor I'm happy with them.
Welcome to the Reo world
PIctures are required of Reos for new reonauts

Congrats on the reo pick up. 
AW 1600 or 2200 mah from RTD would be the route to go. Not the 2000 mah unless you have to (for some reason) as they have a lower amp rating. The 1600 is rated for 24 amps max cont. drain (compared to 20 amps for the 2200) and is the prefered bat for those getting low in build resistances, which is prolly a moot point for you. Some feel that the 1600's keep a usable charge (>3.7V) for the longest, although I don't find any real difference in that regard.
Button tops, like the AW's, might be better for metal reos than flat tops due to arc'ing with the firing pin, which can be exacerbated with some build and button use styles. With a woodvil reo, though, flat tops work great, which maybe gives you more options (e.g., Samsung 25R, Sony VTC4/5).

I use to use Sony VTC5's because that's what I had on hand after vaping on tube mechs for the past year. The button had a long throw to it because of the shorter flat top. I switched over to the AW 1600 mah a couple weeks ago. The button throw feels much better. I have noticed that I have to change batteries more frequently, but it actually not a huge difference for me. The VTC's lasted about 2/3's of the bottle or about 4ml. The AW's last 1/2 the bottle or about 3ml.
My typical build is a 0.4 ohm dual coil using 26g, so either battery is capable of handling my vape.

Congrats on getting your Reo and welcome to Reoville. I decided to go with the AW 1600 as well, someone told me a while ago they stay above 4.0 longer than the 2200. I vape around 1.5 ohms myself, do you know what atty you are going to use. Don't forget pictures are a must!
It's not the best pic but here ya go (someone please tell me how to flip the picture)
Its a metallic purple with a brass reomiser 2 i believe.

Congrats on your new Reo! Welcome to the nicest, friendliest, most helpful group on ECF. Everybody is here to help get you started off on the right foot.
I don't know how to turn it around, but when you click on the pic to make it bigger, it's right side up. And it's gorgeous. I am very partial to the purple metallic. Welcome to Reoville.

Basicly take the pic with your phone sideways.
Quick important thing i'll point out just encase you read some old stickys.. Don't sand the positive contact, ever! The new gold contacts will be ruined if you do. You want deoxit gold for the contact..

Welcome to the mad house of happy vapers. Congrats on the purple beauty. Make sure you cut an inverted V in the bottom of your feed tube. It keeps it from suctioning to the side or bottom of the joose bottle.
