I got my first LP Grand and RM4 ten days ago. Had it up and running in about five minutes and proclaimed to self, "this is a game changer!" Went back to Rob's site before the end of that game changing day and ordered a 2.1 LP.
I didn't have any button top 18650's and ran my flat tops in the new Grand. Later noticed the arching some have posted about before, vape quality and battery life started going south. No chance in hell of getting a AW button here in BFE, plus it was after hours for all retailers. Next day, did the 55 minute commute one way and got the recommended batteries from my favorite B&M. I really can't describe the look on the store owners face when he saw the REO, but something along the lines of oh no covers it fairly well. "Game changer", I told him, a half hearted "I know" was the reply. We had history, a few Bay City mods, a Penny, Vanilla, Cronus, half dozen or so attys.
Unfortunately, the button top didn't cure the Grand's ills. Still had problems and the old battery shift, that I had read about in some other post had joined the woes. A quick email to Rob and an equally quick "send it back" reply had me at ease. The 2.1 arrived and has been just flawless processing upwards of 18mls of .6 nic per day.
New problem; I can't quite bring myself to send the Grand back for repair. After all, if I use it with the door off and hold the battery in place, it will work for awhile. How can I possibly send it back with the just the 2.1 to hold down the fort until its return? Solution? Order number 3. I am not a man of means. I am the proverbial champagne taste, beer budget guy. Excessive compulsive with five high-end mods sitting on the shelf. As I look at them I often think they are giving me the old one finger salute. Maybe its just the way they are lined up.
No its not excessive compulsive. No more sticky fingers, no more hoping for red lights, nobody honking at the stop sign while I drip, no more state troopers asking if everything is okay when I pull off on the shoulder to drip. Juice consumption down by a third. You all know the pros, no need to preach to the choir. I think of owning more than one REO more analogous to the hooping and hollering at the end of the rock concert, the flowers on the stage for the prima ballerina, the bravos at the end of the symphony. Well done Robert, please let me applaud you with another order to show my appreciation and support. In the meantime, (this is not a sale ad) I have some nice tube mods for sale and if you could Rob, please get on with the next release of the Woodville (burl please); before one of those European vendors reply in the affirmative on availability. Maybe I am just a tad excessive compulsive. Anyone want to sell there place in line with pdib?
Cheers, of course.
