Better think about it before you get REO

I had to take a moment (or 10) to tell you why you (yes YOU) should really think about it before buying a REO.

Reason 1:

I used to spend a good part of my free time messing around with filling cartos, tanks and screwing with batteries with my tube devices.

I liked unscrewing my tank, cleaning up the mess and screwing the battery to the charger, then screwing my tank back on the other battery a couple of times a day.

Now i just have to slide down a little door, pull out the battery, put in a new one, unscrew this little plastic bottle, pour in my juice, screw it back on and slide the door back on. How stupid, I mean, shouldn't it be more complicated than that? Now what am i going to do with all that time? Play with my kids or something? Yeah. Right.

Reason 2:

I used to have a secret crush on vapegrl. I used to read her reviews and believe that every word she wrote was like gospel - fantasizing about blowing vapegirl vapor shotguns out in the woodshed off a provari where my wife couldn't see us.

Now I don't even go to her website anymore because there is no info whatsoever on these darn REOs there. I mean, come on, if vapegrl doesn't even mention them they must suck right?
I mean, Rob probably doesn't even pay her like the suppliers who's products she puts over do. I miss you so much vapegrl.

Reason 3:

I used to spend so much more time wondering why my vape experience sucked so bad than actually vaping. I also loved living in fear that I was going to drop my tube and break it.

Now all I do us vape like hell off my REO. It also sucks because if I drop it, it doesn't break, but it leaves a dent in whatever it hits. Now rather than look for a new PV, I have to worry about breaking the floor. Not to mention that that sexy little man purse that I spent good money on to carry my batteries, spare juice and cartos and tanks doesn't get used anymore. Nor do any other PVs. What gives. I looked so cool carrying around all that stuff right? I used to be somebody.

Reason 4:

I used to love flashing my big chromed up tube to other vapers, bragging that mine was so much BIGGER than theirs, cost more and had multicolored LEDs in the tank. I loved showing off how many OHMs and volts I was running with with the slick digital readout. People thought I was so cool. I was such a boss.

Now I have this conservative little aluminum box. You can barely even see it in your hand!

And I can't show everyone my manly, dark juice because its concealed in an onboard bottle rather than sloshing around in my lit up tank. Lame.

And what's with this "squonking" thing? Pushing on that bottle to squirt juice into your carto / atty? I prefer taking them off and getting out a syringe or dropper bottle to wet em. I so miss my big old tube. I looked so freakin down with that bad boy. Now no one even looks at me vaping. I feel so alone.

Reason 5:

I am a confrontational SOB and love the opportunity to argue with people, get mad at people for not answering their phone, return bogus products, then go around campaigning how bad a company is and / or how much their products suck.

Well Rob at REOSMODS answers his phone, responds to my emails and even replies to my ECF pm's. I also can't find anything defects with my REO. The damn thing always works! I hear he will even warranty REOs bought off the classifieds? That's not right.

This means that rather than send scathing emails, calling repeatedly to tell him how dissatisfied I am with his products, flame about it on ECF and tell all my friends how much they suck, I have to find something else to do. Maybe i can put in some billable hours?Nah.

These reasons are why I'm just so angry that I let myself get one of those REOs. All I do now is carry around one small, self contained device with enough battery and juice to last all day and vape and vape and vape. Like, I HAVE NO LIFE Anymore!!!

Now that I got an second REO and an RBA I am even more angry!

i've mentioned a few times that the grand was a good choice for people wanting to start vaping.

i was sent a pm stating that it wasn't for beginners.

it's been pretty darn simple so far. yes there has been a learning curve for cartomizers and juice flavors but how much more simpler can it be.
i can't imagine being out in public with some of the devices i've seen. a reo? hell yeah. there cool and doesn't take much to see a unique handmade item made by a craftsman.

i don't know if she'll buy that one, but its worth it.
my wife is still in the honeymoon phase of me quitting, i can probaly squeeze one more mod until she starts to balk.
i saw that vvwoodvil go up for sale this morning and was very close to buying it, it had purple in it though and i'm gonna wait till i see one i really like.

Don't get me going about that Rob guy!

I had a mystery problem, neither of us could quite figure out what the root cause was. A couple pm talking it through, tried a few things.

Did Rob tell me it must have been user error? No.

Did he question the things I used on or in the pv, say it must be that I used cruddy add-ons? No.

Did he say too bad, no fault found? No.

He had the audacity to say send it in, he replaced the guts, it is now perfect.

Where's my chance to be a wronged, irate, customer? :D

Hey you forgot the part about constantly buying crap that just ended up in the apocalypse drawer because it was garbage. And how much money you wasted on it. Or was that just me ?

Yep - wish I had half of what I've spent on all the other 'latest and greatest' ... could have at least another couple of REO's in my arsenal by now. Ah well ... better late than never, right?

Hey!!! I just noticed that I am 'verified' now!!!! Whoo whoo!!

My Reo is the end game, can't imagine they'll be anything better or more user friendly. I've come to the point where if there's anything wrong its nut the Reo. The atty, batts or juice are my first instincts of any trouble and I haven't been wrong yet. I love everything about it and I don't look like a guy with a musical instrument in my mouth anymore. I haven't tried everything but I know there cannut be anything that 'll even come close.

Whenever I happen to misplace it, there's that urgency of gotta having to find it. Nutting else matters until I do, so don't get in my way. ;)

Yeah, Reos truly sucks like that..... :p

Just a week into vaping I knew that dealing with various sucky clearomizers and eGo batteries would be a pain further on, which led med to looking into Reos and ordering a VV.
And now the VV is the main machine outside the house (and most of the time inside as well), just having some with with genny RBA's on the side, and a carto tank.
Will add a Reo mini soon, as it could be nice with something smaller sometimes. :)
