ok, I gotta ask... if the quality is that good, why do you need so many within 6 months? is it for different colors or what?

1) REOs are a rather *iconic* design. The art student in me just loves them. There are so many color combos too

2) There are many different models......wood and metal and then reo mini (14500), reo mini 2.0 (18490), reo mini 2.1 (18490 plus larger atty cup size to accommodate every rba made practically), reo grand (18650) and then variable voltage reos both metal and wood (VV REOS, take 2 18350 batts).

3) I like to keep atties on one in one flavor, cartos on the other in antoher flavor.

Ha. That's the ten million dollar question. Ha. Just one will last you a lifetime, but....who knows....we've accused Rob (the builder) of sprinkling obsession dust in them before he sends them out. It is partly the colors....and the fact that they're are several different styles: there are Grands, variable voltage Grands, Minis and Mini 2.1s, and sometimes Wood ones. They're so neat, and it's just hard to stop with just one....because we want back-ups....and back-ups for out back-ups.....and one of each style.....and one of each color.....and one more just because.....

There is no answer for that question other than the "obsession dust" in my mind. BUT.....I almost guarantee you that when you get one, you will love it so much, and it will be the answer to vaping that you've been looking for, and you'll WANT another one. And since you'll FINALLY be saving some money from the smoking habit, your mind will trick you into thinking that you can afford as many as you want! Obsession dust, I'm telling you. It's the only valid answer.

It's kind of like, an addiction in itself.

For me, I had to have a backup. Sh_T happens, someone could steal it, I could lose it, dunno but I knew that I wasnt ever gonna vape off nothing else. Then I tried a different size. Then I got rid of my smaller ones in favor of the new favorite size. Wanted a back up for that. Then I wanted a different color. Then I wanted a vv, then I wanted another color. I traded the others so I'm down to three. I will never have less than three.

Notice I said "wanted" alot. Only need 2 but had to satisfy alot of wants too. Why the heck not. I spent more on cigs in a month than I do on a REO and they're laying all over the side of the road :)

Just look at these bad boys - nothing but the finest for this bloke.

how much do the wooden ones go for? There aren't any on the site to find out, but they look SWEET!!

If you are lucky enough to find them on the classy's, they sell for between $120 - $250 usually.

Not going to talk about my few REO's! My profile does that well by itself!

Its been so long I really don't remember but I wouldn't wait for sale. All REOs work the same which is super because Rob makes them and we all know.

Soooo hubs wants me to get a RBA 1st instead, he REFUSES to believe that my Zmax is a big issue. He says I never get as good of vapor as the video's show so yep it's me, he thinks I just don't do something right. I go through a carto a day except for the ikenvape ones which I go through 2 a day. The flavor on those just don't taste good. has a bitter, metallic, non flavor taste up until I get that burnt flavor which is oh so lovely. I've gotten pretty much the same thing with everything I've used. Honestly I am so over it... if it wasn't a health thing I'd probably just go back to smoking but I just can't, I've come to far to give up now!! It's frustrating and I am so sick of arguing with hubs. He says we didn't get into it to enjoy it, we did it to quit smoking... I said but if I am going to do it I want to enjoy it too because I enjoyed smoking... well sometimes... ugh... frustration makes us argue then I just get ...... off!! UGH!!

yeah but in the blemished ones there is a purple and I hate the color purple. I am so NOT the girly type and purple just screams girly, so it looks like I am going to have to go full price as there aren't any in the classifieds for sale, :((

lol I keep refreshing the for sale page hoping 1 magically appears! hahahahaha

PM redeyedancer (Rob). Sometimes he has some that haven't been listed yet. When I was looking the Reo grand I wanted was in stock, but not the RM2. I sent Rob a PM and he set me up. I'm sure that you'll love it. I recieved mine on May 29th, I've already ordered more RM2's and tonight I ordered another Grand. When I was rebuilding my coil I lost a screw for about half an hour,I was in a panic. I was dreading going back to my Provari and a carto tank. So I figured that I had better get a back up! I'm sure it won't be my last.

Believe everyone here, Reos are awesome. I haven't bought into the RBA fully yet, and believe me when I say it's not because of a lack of experience. I have used cartos for 2+ years, and I love them. The RBA's have some advantages, a lot of them actually, yet I still go back to my cartomizers.
Get yourself a REO Mini 2.1, 3 AW 18490's, and go to surevapes.com (5 boxes Boge 2ohm cartos for like $24.00 free shipping). You will not regret it. Put your old stuff in the classies.
