So here's a question.... Do I really NEED a Reo?

[Distroshack]

Waiting for my REO grand and rm2 to arrive. Never squonked before so can't wait

 

[TraceyS]

I love my REO.....everything about it I like...wash it, rinse it with atty on, carry 3 bottles of joose that twist on and off and I squonk all day every day and love it.

Just got my REO SL/LP set up with a doge atty. What a nice change from having to drip, I can just squank and go. Never was a box fan, but this might make me change my mind.

Already waiting for the 3rd one, i'm deep in


Sent from Tapatalk, typos its fault.

Got bit where you weren't expecting to eh?

I have a Reo vv grand and it's awesome but there are other bottom feeders out there Capt Brian of Redsky mods makes this..... Its a Cruiser mechanical with a vapage 9ml bottle and a chowder modded Magma! Redsky mods he also puts out a similar wooden dna mod called a Cutlass.......!

I now have three reo's all grands and I wouldnt trade them for anything. I have a nemesis, provari, numerous other mods and nothing comes close. The flavor, ease of use, durability, and customer support make it a winner. Have issues? Send it back to rob and he will fix it for a very reasonable price.

The entry price is steep but in the end for most this will be the last mod you spend money on, it was for me. The only expense on top of the original purchase is the money you spend buying more. He just showed a sneak peak of some resin mods he is working on and they look sweet too. Oh well its just money....

What would be the closest thing to a REO but with a better button/switch?
I really do like my REO but am not liking the switch at all.
I've got the aluminum cover on it and it's grindy and just feels cheap.
Yes, I'm mashing it because of how it feels.

I've seen so much praise for the Reos and have watched tons of videos about them. Very simple. You fill your juice bottle, you squonk, and you're good to go. BUT the only thing that's keeping me from buying one (besides money XD) is that you can only use certain RDAs on it. So I wouldn't be able to use my Origen or Magma But are these really worth the price?

Actually, you do not need A Reo, you need a couple of Reos!

I love my REOs, that's for sure. But, I'll be receiving a Grunt Vapor SIB tomorrow (there is a thread on the SIB on this page). I expect the switch will be a delight. I'm not super jazzed about Hammond box mods but I suspect I'll really like this one.

I'm also really looking forward to the upcoming REO Woodvils. Side switch, fully mechanical.

Again, don't get me wrong... if I had to save one mod from a house fire it would be my black wrinkle REO Grand SL/LP. No question.

 

[jrs99]

The Woodville definitely has my interest and I will be trying to score one for sure.
I think the side button would much better for me. Using the metal REO with the button on top and closest to me is just not comfortable on my thumb.
I'll have to check out the Grunt.

ETA: Ok, just looked at the Grunt and nope, not liking that.

Try changing your grip around.
Instead of my thumb pointing at the addy, I grip it with my thumb perpendicular to the mod, laying the whole thumb over the button, and press with the center of the thumb. More comfortable for me..........

Buy a REO and a RM2 then get past the small learning curve, find the right coil build for your needs then get yourself prepared to spend more money on your second REO which you really won't need but that's what happens. And after you find your perfect vape (your sweet zone) you can sell it in the classifieds if you like, that won't happen though as long as you TAKE the TIME to dial in your atty (coil/ohms/wick/d-tip). Many mods only needed 1 REO well 3 if you want to get technical.

 

[jrs99]

I've tried switching my grip around but no matter how I use it, I just can't stand this button. It's so crunchy feeling that I dread firing it. I really do like the squonking thing but have been having to force myself to like the REO.
I picked up the Sunbox E7 from the Classies that should be waiting for me when I get home tonight and can't wait.
I still need/want a mechanical squonker but need to find something else because I really can't see buying a second REO.

 

[Ian444]

The button should be smooth, not crunchy. You can remove the black delrin cover and bottle tube, swing the firing contact up out of the way, slide the button out, clean the button and button hole with a cotton swab and water or alcohol, and reassemble. Just snug the delrin retaining screw up, don't strip it, or you will be cursing me...

 

[jrs99]

I'll give that a shot this weekend. I do know not to snug that screw up too tight
I really do want to love this thing but the button is what's holding it back for me.
I'm spoiled from GP gear and while I love the utilitarianism of the REO, I need a really good switch.

 

[Ian444]

Only takes 5 minutes, that button and button hole should clean up really smooth. Hope it works for you. The only other trick is a dab of superglue on the end of the metal tube that the bottle tube slips onto, to ensure a good seal. If you don't have any superglue, it will be fine without for a while, some of mine have no superglue.

 

[RickCain]

You also want to use the conductive grease that comes with a REO - it changes how much pressure you need to use on the button IMHO. I also wipe the contact and batteries with Deoxit once a week and find it performs way easier with less effort.

Just got my second REO and wouldn't trade it for anything.

The DNA v4.2 is also a very nice bottom feeder and comes with a DNA40. Only down side is the adjustment of the 510 is a bit of a PITA.

 

[Rat2chat2]

We all have to find our own way. I tried several things but each time I automatically was looking for what I wanted to try next. Since I began using the reos, I've stopped looking. It has been a year and I have been totally satisfied and if my vaping never gets any better, that's okay. They are dependable, well constructed and highly recommended. Take your advice from people who use them and not people who just have an opinion that is not substantiated. Here is a thread that will give you an idea just how well they are loved.

Getting a BF solves some issues for me;
Having the flavor of dripping
Having the capacity of tanks

Reos has been around the block for a while now.. And their stuffs are worth looking into if anyone decides to BF. Add a very active and supportive forum and also excellent CS you really can't go wrong.
Only been into vaping not long back, but I've yet to come across so many guys/gals owning so many of the same mod! That says a lot for any product..

I put an O-ring from an old tank drip tip into the button of my REO under the button cover. Totally solves the button mashing issue.
