I use a Reo and I'm not going to say go out and purchase one if you don't want to spend that much.
I will say though, I've learned throughout my years of vaping that I feel is important. It's better to save up and do it right from the beginning than to buy cheap only for it to break or you want to upgrade in the near future.

I've had my Reo and Odin RDA for a year and a half now. As much as it's been through it's all working as flawless as it did on day one. Through the 20 foot drops, all of the drops on concrete, tile and wood floors. Yeah the paint is banged up, but it works.

I'd like to think I get a good amount of vapor with my Reo at 0.4 ohms. I don't build for vapor though, I build for an enjoyable vape experience. I personally think RDA is better and cheaper in the long run, but again that's personal preference. You can buy a 250ft roll of 28g kanthal for $8 that'll last a very long time haha.

Rda's are far better than tanks for clouds. Running tank on a Reo is rather a waste of time since it's a bottom fed device.
I run Dark Horse or Velocities on mine, but if you do delve into the classifieds and i know you were asking about it yesterday, make sure that you get a LP Reo (which is one with a 'haircut') that will accept any atty, and the 'new' (yes i realise it's not new, but there's older gear out there) gold plated contacts. Adjustable pin too will come with all new Reos.

So out of the box you're getting a future proof mechanical.

Awesome! Hoping to get verified tonight and get a reo for under 100 or so. So reos can be built on for huge clouds or for just good flavor?

Both - depends what you put on top of it! I'm not a tootle puffer - i like big atties on an indestructible device.

If you want flavour and a single coil vape - i've no issue with that; a Reo will do that too and your battery will last longer.

It's a mechanical device - if you cannot build coils to a safe level that does not overstress your battery then buy an IStick or something.
When it breaks cry twice.

Reo - cry once.

Request Low cost Functional Bottom Feeder for Results.
Several on the market, both Mechanical and Regulated.

Or try Searching.

I Found, reviewed and purchased a Inoy 60w TC Bottom Feeder for $45

Glad I did, getting Squeeze Bottles to do what they should is a learning curve:glare:
Great Vape, often frustrating refill.:oops:

Awesome! That might be what I was looking for.....you like it overall though? How does it compare to a reo?

I'm biased, but I don't think you can beat a REO for value. Maybe not the cheapest bottom feeder; but when you consider the availability of spare parts, and awesome customer service, should you happen to screw something up that you can't repair yourself, the money is well spent, and should last for many years. One guy in the REO lounge accidentally ran over his REO with a log skidder, picked it up, and it still worked.
