The only thing I don't like about this one is the graphics on one side of it but that's personal taste . My other concern would be after sale support , definitely not an issue with a REO .
Only get this if you want a BF with original Odin ( Good, IF, you're a lung hitter). I would be more interested in the price without the atty. Otherwise, It's just a pretty BF hammond box. Don't see any safety features, like on-off, locks or fuses. As an unregulated BF box meant for all day carry, a lock and fuse ( or any dead short protection like the collapsible hot springs) are critical. I'll spare you the Reo pitch as you've already had that, but if budget is an issue, keep an eye out for some of the chinese metal BF box attempts coming out. The current ones still need some tweaks, but they're getting there.
Its a great mod at a fantastic price. The atty alone is $70. Its not a REO clone....the scepticism from REO owners is a little off putting. I've used reos for a long time and I'll continue to use them. Rob is an amazing guy and the REO is a dynamite device. The owner of Grunt Vapor is also the owner of Vaporcraft. There's a lifetime warranty on the mod. Extended service shouldn't be an issue. He uses reos as well.
By the way, the Odin has adjustable airflow and can be built single or dual coil. Its a very versatile atty for lung hitters or mouth to lung. Flavor is great....but I prefer my Catfish atty mods Derringer. Chowderhead does amazing work.
I'm not a huge fan of Hammond box mods but, I'm not going to lie... I like this thing a lot. Price seems to be right considering it comes with an Odin and two drip tips. I'm really feeling the orange one.
Lol, I'm diggin' the orange too! Would love to see pricing non-Odin, and it is great to see another bf mod hit the streets!I'm not a huge fan of Hammond box mods but, I'm not going to lie...

I have the orange, green and teal. I happen to be working in Columbus ga and saw these in a b&m. As a huge REO fan and squonkers in general, I bought one. The next day, I bought 2 more. They're great mods. I met with the owner of Grunt Vapor.....he's a great guy. Retired army and the owner of Vaporcraft. There's no plans to do custom colors yet. As of now, they'll all come as a kit with the Odin. ($70 atty) I think its a great idea selling it as a kit, especially for that price. Plus, the Odin is an excellent bf atty. As much as I love all of my REO mods, these have taken over the front seat.
These are Hammond "g" boxes, correct? I'm really tempted to snag one... and I probably will after I snag a Woodvil.
Yes...g boxes. I just bought a 4th because I gave one to a friend to try. He informed me I won't be getting it back. It was the green one, and the green is really nice. I'm glad there's only 4 colors and I only like 3 of them....it's getting expensive! I still use the Reo, but I really like the 12ml bottle and the wired button. These things are really good.
As info, I emailed Vapor Craft this morning and they replied that the SIB is only being sold in kit form, not separately. Quick reply to my email which is nice!
i love the looks and simple durable design, do u guys know if i can use 18650 batteries with internal short circuit protection?
Well, I could resist no longer...
The SIB will make a fine compliment to my REOs.

I like this for a something that reminds me of a Ranger OKR box mod but has bottom feeding. Once more traditional colors are available I'll bite. Black or Silver would be very nice.
I just snagged a pink one 
i didn't realize there wasn't an off mechinism....there's not right?

No on off switch but while the button isn't hard to push it isn't featherlight to fire. Been keeping mine in a cheap phone/ credit card clutch with a rolled up baby sock on the bottom or wrist sweatband to keep distance in the clutch away from the button. So far I don't think it's accidentally fired. I keep the clutch in a purse pocket not on my wrist. Love to hear any other safe carry methods that don't require taking out the battery. Been using the baby sock on metal boxes to help reduce arthritis lol.
