I haven't gotten started! Right now I'm just not feeling inclined to take on a doomsday way of living.

I hope you are on the Right side of all these Law suits! I would love nothing more than to be laughed at for early CYA buying. :D I have no with problem being Wrong, to the good and having what I need already on hand.:thumb:

Best of luck,
Dal

Which rba's did you choose? I love the RM2 on mine. Flavor is really good and they are easy to build a single coil on. My old carto's and 510 atty's are my backups for my Reos. I keep one carto in the pocket of my purse should I ever have a problem with my RM2 when out and about but I've never needed it. I do prefer the Reo Grands for the ability to use 18650 batts over the Reo mini but those mini's are cute. :)
I got them off the Reo website, I have to check the name but think they are the RM2's

No Reos, not Provaris for me. No Reos -just because I am not in mechs. No Provaris - because in price/longivety terms they (I believe - but nobody knows for sure) they are inferior to, say, Picos. I think Pico can serve me for about 2 years. To be on the same level, Provape's Radius should work for 15 years. Very questionable. About the same technology, same metals, same electrons... And Chinese quality has raised tremendously in the last years.
I have a 2012 Provari mini still working :) But whatever will keep you thru the Dark Ages of Vape and is good for you, go for it!

Yes I too would love to have a good laugh at all our stock piling! But I would rather be wrong and laugh than be unprepared and cry :)

I think I'm done with mods for sure.

I have one REO mini and one Grand, have had those for years. Got a couple clone telescoping mechs, too.
3 Provari 2.5, with extensions
2 Picos
2 cheapy clone VV/VW mods, maybe to use, maybe to give away

I keep suppressing the urge to buy more nic. Toppers, I think I have enough, but get the urge to buy just a few more (and more spare parts). Bottom line, if the ax were to fall tomorrow, I think I'd be OK.

Question about the Reo, has anyone had a 510 connection go bad? Only unit I had a problem with is one GLV 510 connection got wonky, I need to get it replaced. But just wondering about the Reo long term.

I rebuild mine with the kit from Rob about every year or so, but have never had the 510 connection go bad. I am a button masher--what goes for me is the positive contact. Which reminds me, I need to order more of those (in heavy duty style).

Good to know, I got a rebuild kit for it, maybe should get another kit & another rba, the actual Reo is indistructable so not sure I need another, just things to keep it functional :)

The newer 510s are all stainless steel and Rob figured they were "Hoople-proof". The earlier ones that were brass (and much softer) not so much...

Yes the GLV's are brass, too soft. Wonder if I could replace the brass with SS. I need to see how hard that is to do or get my hubby's help :)

Nice deal! I might have to look out for that. Perfect with some kicks for the survival drawer.
At that price I thought I was buying something cheesy, but no they are well built! I think I will get more kicks though because I just feel safer with them in a Nemisis. I have short stops too.

No, the Nemesis is actually nicely made. I haven't seen one for that price. And yes, despite knowing Ohm's law (kinda) I'll still use some kicks or short stops even if the kids make fun of me for being too cautious.
Nemesis is an excellent mod to Kick. I have run 3 set up that way, even 18350/kick for stealth. :thumb:
