Well, at the moment it is a Lavatube 2.5 with a Magoo on it, sometimes with a 5ml nautilus BVC. I had two hybrid colored Provaris' and a bunch of other mods until my house/apartment was ransacked for everything I had. God I miss my Provaris'. :(

That would be horrible. I hope the authorities can at least find the ....-head(s) that did this to you. Hopefully you will recover soon enough for the P3.

almost 40? WHY?!?!

If you are asking why so many Reos, I will try to answer. As you can see by my avatar, I exclusively use Reos Mods. All seven pictured in the avatar have their own RM2's. Some might say my opinion is biased, others might say informed. I'll let you decide;
The Grand is milled from a single block of aluminum, making it nearly indestructible. It is a strait mechanical and waterproof. In fact, maintenance is simply rinsing in hot water. The 6ml On Board Juice Bottle means no dripping necessary. Lightly press through the whole in the front door, and e-liquid rises up the feed tube into the juice burner (atty, carto, RBA, etc.). Release pressure and the excess juice gravity feeds back into the bottle. This is called 'Squonking'. It is a one-handed, easy way to provide fresh eliquid to your coils.
The RM2 Rebuildable Atomizer is a remodded RDA for bottom-feed Mods. With a Teflon coated deck, Phillips head screws and pass-through wire ports, it is an easy to use RBA that provides a cool, smooth and flavorful vape. Many compare the flavor to dripping atomizers.
A lovely and gracious young lady recently loaned me a ProVari Mini, with the option to buy. I purchased an HCigar KFL Lite + v2 clone to use with it. It was a good Vaping device, and the ProVari itself was impressive. The KFL clone seemed decent, but so many little pieces and needed attention. I returned the ProVari, with the HCigar clone as a 'Thank you', and continue with my Reos Mods.
Bottom line- For ease of use, easy maintenance, dripping flavor and durability, it's hard to beat a Reos. It's drawbacks are Initial Price and as a Mechanical Mod it is unregulated.

If the poll's not closed, mark me down as yet another reo grand user. RM3 has been my go-to RDA for the past few months, but my new Odin has been making a very convincing argument to reconsider that (pushy little thing, that Odin).

Not closed, but winding down. In fact I am working on this weekend's Talley.....

Ok, that answers more why you like them. I get that part. My question is why 39? I mean, I like my rDNA but I can't conceive needing or even wanting more than 2. That's $5k you could have spent on hookers and {Other stuff}!

Not to answer for him, but my guess is like many of us he's a hobby vaper. As in most hobbies, we go well past the need into the want, and even in the hobby some peoples wants are more than others. Collecting is fun, but often seems like weird behavior to those outside the hobby, or even inside the hobby such as owning 40 Reos lol.

Wouldn't hookers be a better hobby? :)
