The Riva 901 was my first non cig a like device, that came after the KR808's.
I liked that the Riva had a bigger battery and a manual button. Longer run times than the Joye 510 and Ego.(at that time)The Riva 901 was my first non cig a like device, that came after the KR808's.
I actually still have some of my original 3.0 Ω cartomizers. Once I found 'em I stocked up on 'em 2.0 Ω was considered low back then.
AOTAhave never used or held a REO Beck, but the loyal following interests me, what's the appeal? Ease of use? Quality?, Simplicity?, AOTA?
Reosmods.comAre they sold on a REO site or by distributors?
This horror was after 15ml of Banana Foster.
Still tasted great but ewwww.
Washed it under hot water and the rayon was almost new looking.
Coils were slightly cruddy but this awful mess is from solids in the juice.
Now I remember why I stopped getting Banana Foster when I used premade coils.

I have no idea what any of these devices are, lol.
I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
I just saw Alibaba has clones if you just want to try it. I have not bought from them and I did not see them on FT, but It is a really simply built mod. Rob has spare parts for quality upgrade and bottom feeder atties are easy to find.
The only power regulation is the ohms of your coil. I am happy at 1.0. For me, the charged battery starts out pushing the 4.2v and at the end of the 8ml bottle, the battery is at 3.6-3.7v.
I always try to handle something before spending the money. Just an option.
Hope helps
What power do you vape at?Thanks frenchfry , will check them out
@beckdg, Rob is no longer making the VV REOs at all. (And there are none in stock.) And....he's not making any more Woodvils. Just wanted to mention that so that you'd know it if/when you talk to BackDoc. The P-67s are great, but seldom in stock. The best REO (IMHO) to go for at this time would be the LP Grand. It can take any sized BF RBA, it will have the updated adjustable 510, and the gold contacts (for sub-ohm if you want.)What power do you vape at?
Do you have a .... load of those cartos?
Rob has woodvils that are VV, but they're more of a hand crafted wood as opposed to indestructible.
There's also the smaller metal REOs and the p67.
Dunno what's in stock ATM.
But as far as that grand goes...
There's a "catch cup" around the 510.
The grand was originally built for cartos.
With that in mind, the mod body is taller than the 510 to catch over spill from excited squonking.
This makes most atomizers unable to be used on the grand because the 510 threads will never reach and make contact.
This is the reason for the LP GRAND.
The mod body is about flush with the 510 because the "catch cup" is "low profile".
This is the one I would suggest for your first REO because it's more flexible in its usage. And any grand can be modified more easily if you feel the need.
With that said, I happen to have a couple Waidea REO GRANDs (clones).
They ARE solid and indestructible.
And work just fine.
But!
The fit and finish definitely isn't the same and you'd have to work to force fit some authentic parts on them.
As well, there's no low pro option on them. Normal atties don't fit without grinding the catch cup down.
And it's doubtful Rob would work on them.
But if you want a solid block of aluminum that would give you a general idea of how things work for ~$30 and either you'll only use cartos on it, or you're willing to grind the catch cup down, they work just the same when having a vape.
Tell you what, BackDoc, send me a message with your # and a good time frame to call you tomorrow and I can get into more detail if you're interested.

Haha, me too! I have so many 3.0 ohm cartos it's unreal. They'll be used when I'm too old to futz around with rebuildables. They work quite nicely on the VV REOs I have hanging around here. Super easy to prime on a REO too. Just put a dry one on and give it one good squonk. Carto primed and ready to go.
Thanks, sent you a messageWhat power do you vape at?
