But it seems the REO is best out of all those in terms of convenience and ease of use?
All of the ones I listed above are really great mods that are easy to use, and the convenience and benefits of a bottom feeder is obvious. All of them perform just as well as a Reo for all intensive purposes.
The Reo has a couple of things going for it compared to the others:
- It's readily available
- It's made from a solid block of aluminum, as I mentioned before, just about every other BF mod on the market is made from wood. Wood is gorgeous, but not something you want to drop or get wet.
- The Reo sees continued updates, and has unparalleled support.
Like I said, there are other BF mods on the market, and they are winners IMO. The Reo is kind of considered the "King" for good reasons though, it's definitely earned it's reputation and is the only mod I personally use all day, every day.
Also, to reiterate what others are saying here:
You do not have to purchase a bottom feeding mod to drip. For obvious reasons, bottom feeding mods are the best and most convenient way to make dripping an all day affair wherever you go.
