1st Reos mod - wait for VV?

[washvap]

As others have said, it would be more ideal for you to get a Grand first. This would you can learn how it operates and you get a truly durable mod that you really don't have to worry about. VV mods are a useful tool to try out different ohm cartos/atties with their corresponding voltage. Also, to see what voltage a juice tastes good at as well as using dying atomizers to bring them back to life.

Which is all good and dandy, but unless you understand how everything works on a fixed voltage mod and the importance of how different ohm atties/cartos work for 3.7V then it'll be a bigger learning curve you have when you get a VV mod. You have to remember that you have two more voltages to play with if you get a Grand. Which is 5 and 6V that are two of the most popular voltages to vape at besides 3.7 and 4.2V. This gives you plenty of space to play around.

Thanks for the thoughts everybody.

To be honest, I don't know if I totally understand all of the benefits of VV (and that's not necessarily a discussion for here). But it seemed to be the next big thing, but maybe I was just looking at it cause everyone else was. Almost everyone who had the Provari seemed to really like it.

But yeah, I do agree that the Grand or Mini seems to be a good first step here and then I can go wood for the VV perhaps down the line some.

I purchased a beautiful new Provari and never used it and actually traded it, even steven, for a Reo Wood. Several reasons I never used it.... awfully busy and didn't want to take the time to "learn" it, REOs make vaping so hassle free, the Provari doesn't sit up on a table as solidly as the REO, REOs make vaping so hassle free, the Provari is not as tough as the REO, and REOs make vaping so hassle free, the Provari just feels plain heavy to me, REOs make vaping so hassle free, if I drop the Provari in the spa it probably would not come out unaffected and need to be repaired (my REOs like to "swim" and do so frequently - btw, none of them float), REOs make vaping so hassle free to just name a few reasons.....

If I want different voltages I can go 5 volt battery in a Grand or stack batteries for 6 volt.

I'm going to get one of the first vv REOs and maybe two; one 510 fitting and one 801 fitting. I will be testing one in spa conditions for high humidity situations and I'm sure it will try to "swim." I don't recommend anyone doing this unless s/he is willing to send it back to REO spa to fix the voltage regulator. Main point here is that I know that if any of my REOs go "swimming" they will come out unaffected and useable after a rinse and drying. Can't do that with a Provari and it would have more tendancy to "jump in" as it doesn't sit up well and rolls around when placed on its side. (I actually prefer to use a well waxed, inside and out, Wood REO, with 801 fitting, in the spa, as I can wipe it off/out, blow out the 801 atty, wipe off the battery and continue vaping without leaving the spa. The Metal REOs are more suited for dunkings/soakings/"swimming" but the firing pin box does need to be dried out before used again.)

Provari needs a tank, to give hours of hassle free vaping; REOs don't. Tanks are cool (I have a bunch) but so awkward, top heavy, and prone to damage and leaks but REOs aren't any of those except for cool.

REOs travel out and about more easily than Provari whether in pocket, bag, or purse. REOs are more stealthy, especially the smaller ones, Mini, Mini Woodvil, and 18490 and they will fit in my pocket or small evening bag.

And, have I mentioned that REOs make vaping so hassle free?

BTW.... I work at home, too, but move around a lot, at times. With the REO I don't have to pay attention to how I set the REO down. It wont' roll off of anything, it won't leak, and it stands up on most surfaces.

Oh, yeah, REOs make vaping so hassle free.

Alice, did you mention how hassle free the REO is?????????

Jeni, I heard that REO'S took the hassle out of vaping, seems I read it somewhere!

 

[Hottody]

Thank you, nice link!

 

[lostknitter]

I believe I heard that too Karen, it seems it was recently that I heard it.

 

[mlinky]

Hmmmm...hassle free vaping. Who'd thunk it?

 

[FLGator]

Ok, you guys convinced me. I'll be ordering the Grand perhaps later this week.

 

[Delilah718]

That totally makes sense. While I like to tinker with some stuff here and there, for vaping, I think I'd just prefer to set it and forget it. I have seen that little vv box mod, too, but after my bartleby quit working, I think I want to stick with the better stuff and try not to have a drawer full of mods that either aren't used or don't work. I think the Reos is definitely for me.

Now just to find someone reputable with the batteries in stock.....

SET IT & FORGET IT! LOVE THAT (I happen to own a showtime ) The money you spend on your REO will be the best money you ever spent on vaping FL Gator!

About a month ago I spent a while explaining the basic ecig to my sister, and took her thru the paces of filling and refilling, giving her several batteries to have ready to go -- it was simpler to explain my REO! But that exercise reminded me of how much I DO NOT MISS messing with filling and refilling -- thank goodness for the REO - SET IT AND FORGET IT INDEED!

Welcome to REOvil!

I agree and think you should try a standard REO as your first. It can always be a back-up if you get the VV.

This is probably the strongest reason to get a standard REO. Once you have learned and experienced a REO, you've been spoiled and if you get a VV REO later, then a back-up REO is paramount . It's all you'll want and they're hassle free too.

 

[Streetvapor]

Oh by the way FLgator...did you happen to hear that Reo's are hassle free also????.....

 

[FLGator]

So along with the Grand, some batteries and the charger, I assume you want to pick up some 6oz bottles, a backup spring, and an extra feed tube/oring/cap combo? Is that about it in addition to the attys and carto's?

I tried going thru the "what you will need if this is your first Reo" thread but that seemed to concentrate on the batteries, chargers and such.

I may have seen that mentioned in one of the many Reos threads I've been reading today.

 

[lostknitter]

The tubes are pretty hefty, I haven't heard of anyone having to replace the newer heaver tubes Rob is using now, but a backup probably isn't a bad idea. I would recommend a spring, shorts do happen and they are easily replaced. I have a couple in my stash. As for the bottles, I like having a bottle for each of my favorite juices, they are a convenience if you vape more than 1 or 2 juices, so I would recommend them. You might check with the juice vendors you like, some of them sell their samples in the bottles used in the REO.

The extra spring is good to have for the Grand. You can change that out yourself. Not that it is a common problem, but it can collapse if there is a short. The feeding tubes/cap/o-ring is good for back-up, but is not something you should need for a long time. Some people have found that if they use a very strong flavor of juice that it will stay in the tubing. So ya never know if you would want to change it for that.

Reos take the hassle out of and add the hustle into vaping

 

[davelog]

Not only that, they're remarkably hassle-free.
