I actually prefer the VMOD to the REO for a number of reasons. REOs are incredible, but if I owned one I would be afraid to take it out because I wouldn't want to scratch the finish or anything. The VMOD can take a beating and if the shell gets trashed, you can just
buy a new one for $20 or $30 (or cheaper on sale). The other gripe I have with the REO is the drip cup system that it uses. It fills with liquid when you squonk it, and liquid is pulled up into the atomizer
through the little holes at the bottom. If it's full and you tilt it, liquid will drip out of it onto your shirt or whatever. I can
vape my VMOD in any position or throw it in a pocket, and I don't have to worry about any leaks. It comes down to personal preference, but for me I'll take a VMOD any day.
