Love this forum almost as much as my Grand. A few questions that I didn't see answered elsewhere - go ahead and slap me if they were answered somewhere else. I'm using my Grand with a 510 cart. I've got the squeeze down now, but sometimes I get some liquid on my lips. Are you guys using drip tips to overcome this? If so, can you point me to what you like as REOS doesn't have any for sale on the site. After a month or two, I'll jump into rebuilding atomizers, just enjoying the ride right now. I bought cheap batteries *18650s, but am going back to Robert's recommended vendor to buy the good ones. I offered to buy 2 of my co-workers REOS mods so that I have a chance to work in a smoke free workplace. For those of you have both a Grand and a Mini (my employees want Minis), are there any discernible performance differences (with the exception of 3ml vs. 6ml and battery time)? Lung function IMPROVING after 10 days and my wife & kids love that I DON'T SMELL! I'm also a tinkerer and want to know if anybody else recommends add-ons (i.e. drip tips, cooler looking cartos, etc). Thanks to Robert, Ray (guy in Florida that demo'd unit) and this forum. Finally, where can I get that awesome code for my bottom banner (REOS...quit analogs, etc.)

If you are getting juice on your lips, maybe you are flooding your cartos. It just takes a short squonk to get enough juice for a few vapes. Also you might try not drawing quite as hard or quick. Some tips do work better than others. The shorty tips tend to let more juice travel to the mouth.

Glad you are going for the AW IMR batteries. They really are worth it!

The Mini 2.0 and 2.1 put out the same volts as the Grand. But it just doesn't last as long with the smaller battery. The Mini has an even smaller battery but the same size bottle.

You are doing awesome! It is great that you got to see a REO and start your vaping journey REO style!

Any drip tip that will fit your cartos will work, so just google drip tips and see what you like. There are thousands out there. Cherry Vapes has some that are popular, if you want to spend a bit more, look for glass drip tips. There are also metal, ceramic and other materials made into drip tips. I like glass, and get mine from Trippy Tips. Also, I don't think there is a major difference in performance between the mini and the grands, other than battery life. I also have to say, you are buying your employees REOs!! Can I come work for you????? I hope your employees recognize how great you are!

Yup, that's what I figured, it was me. Just needed to hear it from a pro (or Double Guru as you're called here). I just ordered a VV Grand and Mini as backups. I'm totally paranoid about what would happen if mine got lost or broke. I'm not messing around. I also ordered 2 for my employees. They're super excited too! I can't force it, but I'd like to have a smoke free workplace and since I'm the boss, I can throw some money at the issue ;)

Thanks lostknitter. As I just ordered new REOSMODS for me and employees, I have to buy ejuice, batteries and based upon your input some drip tips now! As for me purchasing employees mods, well, its not entirely generous. I'd like to have a smoke free workplace and since now love vaping so much I want to share it!

And Lostknitter, where can I get the cool lower banner that you have?

You going to have a juice bar at the office too? And a charging station?
Go figure...I just moved out of CT... I would totally be submitting my application to do whatever it is your business does. Cuz, I'm an expert at it. Uh huh... totally professional and fully trained and licensed to do whatever it is you do. :p

When I got my first REO, a Grand, I was paranoid too! I just knew that I never wanted to be without a REO! Now that I have enough to keep me safe I still want more. BTW that first Grand is still performing great after over two years. Never needed anything but a good cleaning and some noalox!

Your employees will be amazed by what the REO can do. It makes giving up the cigs very easy. Who knows they might decide to just stop smoking and only vape!

lol - they're lining up. I was an employee for 20 years and was never treated right. I buy my people pedicures, lunches, and now REOS Mods. I'm like a poor man's google :) - BTW, we're near Norwich and we provide technical and engineering consulting. Thanks Candimccann!

Welcome, elricho :)
Good for you! Way to share the love!

There are a lot of drip tip choices here, where you can also get the batteries that are recommended. I prefer glass, but not everyone does. I don't like using the tips that come on the atties and cartos because I don't like the small hole...not enough "draw" for me. You'll find that different drip tips will have an impact on temperature, vapor volume and even the flavor to a degree.

Here is where you can find the banner....but for future reference, it's on the front page of reosmods.com

I'd like to get some non metal drip tips for my RM2. Is there a particular size I should order for the RM2?

Okay...it worked.
elricho....here is a step by step as best as I can explain it.

On the banner page, fill in your data then click on create banner. Then use the top box with the BBCode, highlight and right click, copy all that text. Then on ECF, click on Settings (top right of your screen). Then on the left side select Edit Signature. If there is text in the box already, highlight it, right click and select paste. If not, then simply put your cursor in the text box and right click, paste. It doesn't have a lot of code, so it should fit. You should click preview to make sure it shows...then click on Save. Keep us posted.
