Another ReoNaut Launch-In Depth Review

[niczgreat]

Well after all these years of fighting it, Rob you win.
I'm a hobbyist and I just didn't feel that my collection was complete without the Iconic Reo Grande.

I just received my Black wrinkle metallic red and I'm favorably impressed.

First Impressions:
This unit is very tiny. It also looks much nicer than in the pictures. Much more polished and elegant. The bottle did not want to come out of the metal tube so I stretched the hose out and than I ended up cutting it short.

It fit my Orbitronic 2900mah unprotected high drain Hybrid Battery without issue and of course is running splendidly with my ReoMiser2
So far I'm a happy camper

It's definitely a stealth device


It looks smaller and more refined than the pictures


Tonight I'm going to take it through it's paces and do a thorough review over the next few days.

the hose is glued to the metal tube.

just unscrew the bottle, the hose stays attached to the mod.

The other cool thing about REOs is this forum. I rarely venture outside of REOville. Just get a REO and you are accepted by this wonderful group of REOnauts.

There's no place like it on ECF. I cant imagine theres much going in The boggers forum (is there even one) ?

It used to be glued cause I pulled it out cut it down and put it back in. No kink.
No leaking it's Working fine!!!

Congratz on a beautiful REO!

I think you are the first I have read about pulling the whole tube assembly off to fill the bottle! REO's can be so easy we try to make it tough I guess..

You can buy more bottles and switch juices easy too. Just put a paper towel under the cap and tube when you remove a bottle, it catches the drips. I usually have a full bottle uncapped and ready. Easy to do a switch that way! Take one off and put the other right on!

Enjoy your evening vaping the way vaping should be, the REO way!

My other bottom feeder had the pull out tube.
I just assumed that everyone did it that way.

Actually I'm very prepared.
I bought a bunch of bottles, a bunch of tubes and the rebuild kit.

I'm planning on vaping at low ohms so I wanted to be prepared!!!

I have a DNA20D Bottom Feeder Box Mod coming in about a month and in the meantime the Reo Grand is my only Bottom Feeder.
I just don't feel no love from Top Feeders no more.

CONGRATS ON THE REO TOM!!!

Looks to be a great fit in yer hand bro , I'm sure that your initial fascination will not wane. In the meantime, start contemplating what color combo you want your next REO to be.

Congrats on the Reo, and welcome to the bestest and friendliest sub-forum of ECF!

And if you think the Grand is stealthy, you should see the original Mini. Even with my relatively small hands, the only thing sticking out of my fist is the drip tip.

Also, Rob, I accept comissions if he buys a Mini

 

[inkdog]

Congratulations and welcome! I have a mini 2.1 in the same colors. Great choice :thumbup:

I know you've been around for a while...but never got the chance before to say it...

Welcome, tomzgreat

Congrats and welcome! The REO's got me to quit scouring ECF for the latest and greatest - that was over 2.5 years ago. I just got a couple of those Orbtronic 2900's last week, too - they seem to be working well. Enjoy!

COngrats on the REO!! I was a collector of mods and used to try all the latest and greatest, but the REO gave me what cigs did, I am able to vape and forget about it if I want, I surely did not cruise smoke shops looking for the latest and greatest cig I just bought what worked.

With the Reo and RBAs I have started seeing the huge savings, FINALLY lol
