blems??

[Matthew Bye]

So im curious how bad the blemishes are we talking just paint right? Is it ever more then paint? Is it ever a big blemish. Maybe post a couple pics of what to expect if you order a blem model. Also when i go to the website it says there is no picture for the blems that are in stock. Dont know if thats just me or not? Maybe put a pic of the blemish on there and a discription of the blemish, one or the other. (Example: hairline scratch on door 2 inches long) before anyone gets all attacky or whatever this is just a inquary and based on what i was questioning when looking at the blems on the site.

I keep waiting for some 2.1 Blems to show up! Haven't got my hands on one yet but lots of people say they can't even tell why they were listed as Blems. I'm sure some of them will chime in.

I swear sometimes Robert just tosses a couple perfect mods into the blemished bin and you can't find anything. Sometimes its the paint or a tiny scratch.
There's a money back guarantee on the blems, too, so you can just send it back unused if you don't like it.

I think Rob strives for a level of excellence when it comes to his mods that we will never comprehend. All the posts I've seen from people who have bought them say that they can't see it.

after buying a few Reos from the classies, and hasseling to remove the taste of the previous owner's juice, super_X convinced me to buy new or blems. of course i'll still haunt the classies for woodies, but any future metals will probably be blems.

Rest assured that Robert would not sell a REO that would have an ugly scratch or dent that would take away from the overall look of that REO. These are minor imperfections that are barely noticeable. Some have reported getting out a magnifying glass to finally find something!

And as stated look it over before use. Send it back if you don't love it!

And....the blemishes are ONLY on the paint job....they never affect any of the workings of the mod. Like everyone has said, usually you can't even FIND the blemishes. About no pictures....they just come available and are snatched up so fast that sometimes there's just no time even for a picture. If you want to see what one looks like that's NOT a blem, then go to the regular section of whatever size you're looking at and find that color combo. It'll look exactly like that. Really.....none of us believes there are any blemishes on any of them....Rob is just such a perfectionist that if a paint job is not PERFECT, he'll put it in that section. If you can get a blem of the size you want, I'd definitely say go for it! You won't be sorry, and I daresay you won't be able to find the blemish.

EDIT: The only blems I see are the REO Minis....I see three of them. Make sure that's the size you want. Have you been looking at the pictures comparing sizes and characteristics? The Mini is the smallest one and it uses a 3ml bottle and a 14500 battery. You would probably need to carry extra juice and an extra battery. They ARE very pocket friendly, and I love mine. Just making sure you know the differences. Also, IF you get a Mini and IF you order a Reomizer 2.0 (RM2) rebuildable atomizer, make sure you tell him the rebuildable atty is for a Mini so he can mill it down for you. He won't do it unless you ask, and he won't automatically just "know" that you want it for a Mini just because you order them at the same time. They're two separate parts.

My perfect,bought new from the site, Grand is now rather blemished! It has always seemed to me that you have to ask yourself one really simple but important question: do i intend to use this thing all the time or just take pictures of it?

There are no mods he makes that cannot be used all day, every day. But you will have to expect a little collateral damage if that is what you do - and so i try to limit that abuse to my Grand rather than the other things i have that are Reos.

Naturally, my wife takes a different view of this and cossets her minis - but i work in a factory and warehouse and needed something to handle the abuse of such a place as well as my own failures to look after it. A little paint blemish would not bother me in the least.

Trust me on this one ..............

The Blem's are 99.7% perfect ........ period, end of story.

I am certain with any other mod maker they would just go out the door as a full priced product.

They're horrible. Don't buy them. I mean, when you buy a blem you want to see a blemish right? Well these blems suck. I couldn't even find anything I would call a blemish on 6 of the 7 I've bought.

If you want a real blem, you will need to get it off the classies.

Bought my first blem-mod a week ago... The tropical green grand. Only blemish I could find was on the back of the mod by the edge, there was about an inch of a dull spot compared to the rest of the mod. Other than that, it is perfect in every way. Rest assured the blems aren't defective mods in any way.

So what your saying is blems are the way to go if you actually plan on using it. Thanks guys for clearing it up. If i see a reo grand in a color i like ill probally gey it or maybe ill wait to look on classafieds to see how bad thoes look for the price. Thanks again to all that replied.

Wait! Wait matthew! I wanna put in my ! My second Reo was a blemished...yah right..I searched that puppy with a fine tooth comb and only when i used the magnifying glass could I find it....and it was minute even then! And it was on the bottom!

That Rob is SUCH a perfectionist!
