That could be interpreted as I have a reo and you don't and may not get one, is that how you intended it to sound ?
As i said before if your wanting to go for a woodvil then you can miss out to someone who may have five already, for the metal ones then maybe that could be a low brow dig at trying to get someone to consider one , hey look what I have.

Floki is starting to get a bit touchy over Odin v Jesus , maybe somethings rubbing off. :p

I'm thinking it was supposed to not be taken seriously. :thumb:

we all know china, if they really wanted to clone the reo they would make them look exactly the same look wise, that's what they've done with all the mechs, this is definitely not a clone but an original design based on the idea of a bottom feeder

Rob's Reo is patented. So, if the Chinese were to build a 1:1 counterfeit, it would be subject to the same laws as other counterfeit items are, here in the U.S., like counterfeit purses, watches, sneakers, golf clubs, etc. Seizure by customs, confiscation from retailers, arrest of retail owners knowingly selling counterfeit goods.
I'm no patent attorney, but this doesn't appear to be a close enough copy to classify as a counterfeit.

I'm thinking everyone is putting in their :2c: where it is really the concern of Rob and his business practice.

Is his patient US or international? US has no claim in other countries.
Will this mod even come to the US? Many never see our shores.
Is The mod close enough to Claim infringement or different enough to be a legitimate variation.
Look to Cars, TV's, Laptops, etc, all similar with the same purpose and concept, yet different enough to co-exist.

My :2c:, imitation = Competition = innovative advancements - see Evolv :), Kanger, Provari,etc.
Yep, even Provape was driven to advance and release the P3 through competitive necessity.

Who knows what advancements REOs may bring in the near future? :)

I received my sample from the manufacturer via DHL this afternoon. I was sent this unit at no cost for the purposes of publishing an objective review - in other words, I won't be editorializing about my feelings regarding this device's similarities to a REO. But, I will give my honest opinions regarding build quality and performance.

I took some quick pics and did a quick physical comparison to my REOs. While not a 1:1 clone, it's not hard to see from where the design was derived. It's marginally larger than a Grand LP and much heavier. It weighs 7.4oz with no battery, bottle, or atty. My white LP weighs 6.7oz *with* a battery, SL door, 1/4 full bottle, and Derringer - my black wrinkle LP/SL weighs 5.7oz *with* battery, 1/2 full bottle, and Derringer. So, the Kui is a hoss. The provided sample unit has a hammertone type finish. The included atty is also pictured below.

I'm not going to provide much "review" speak here. I'll reserve that for my published review in a few weeks. I will say though that my authentic Derringers won't thread in to the mod's 510... like at all. My Freakshow Mini did thread most of the way down until it bottomed out. I did not attempt any adjustments. It auto-fires with button tops. Again, no adjustments attempted other than swapping to a flat top. I will say this - it hits hard.

I'm not sure what order these pics will be in... you can see the relevant details.

wow inswva.......a few of those pics are a tad scary even! Thanks! Post a link if you don't mind when you do your review. I'd like to see that lol

Will do. I try not to pimp my reviews on ECF (for a number of reasons) but I'll put a link to the Kui review in this thread when I've completed it.
