RTD site is awesome! Thanks! Stalk paypal, don throw away the floss, go interrogate the post office about how to get them to just leave it already. I think I got it now! :) will have to email Rob about a purple metallic blem door. All my stuff is either white, silver, or purple so it's pretty essential for my family and I don't know if I trust that "notify me" stuff. :)

OOPS! I hope you didn't place the RTD order yet! I think they still have an ECF coupon code for 5% off your order. If it's still active it can be found via that "Coupons" tab at the top of any ECF page.

RTD only ships express. Bad news: It's not as cheap as parcel post rates. Good news: Stuff arrives in 3 days max.

The RTD site has 18650 batteries at 1600mAh and 2000mAh. The 1600 was recommended. Does performance drop with the 2000?

Not really....but at 24 amps current capacity, the 1600 actually produces max output over its charge period...the 2000 is rated at 10.5 amps.....
The 1600's are all I use in my Grand...and, FWIW, AW 18490 1100's in my Mini 2.1....
BOTH are top-notch batteries....and RTD is a SUPER company!! Randy and Rob think alike when it comes to keeping the customer satisfied!!:D
BTW....CONGRATS on the (incoming) Reo, Becky!!
You DO understand.....this is your "FIRST"......there WILL be more.....
Trust us!!;)
Happy (vaping) Trails!

That's basically it. The 1600 mAh version can put out more current in these short bursts that we do. The lower you build the resistance of your coil the more important that becomes.

Baditude has a lot of good information in his blogs about battery issues for mechanicals: E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs

Oh my, I missed the most important part! It's white with black wrinkle door. Aluminum button cover and extra bottle. I do need to get me some 18650's once I read up on some reliable sources for AW batts. Got some fake 18490s for the provari on ebay :/
If it comes on Monday or Tuesday I'll be home. In a lawn chair. Next to the mailbox. Although, I work nights, so sleeping until reo completion without worry of not hearing the doorbell is tempting. Tell me more about how I can tell mr mailman it's ok to leave it please?

I see the doors but they are all metal. I have dreams of white with metallic purple door, green door, blue door, allllllll the doors. And drip tips! To match/complement my outfit! Nail polish! Ohhhh I'm getting carried away. And losing the manly men of reoville to my girly color coordinating outburst. Eeeek! Is it here yet?!?!

Girly colors? I was kidded that purple wasn't a manly color for my REOs and yet many have asked me where I got them. Maybe with the exception of pink there are no girly colors per se. :) As far as batteries go , I use to exclusively use AW IMR 18650s from Randy's RTD but recently found the Sony VTC5s a better battery for me now for my low Ω coils.

I was more talking about my color coordinating with nail polish and outfits as being girly. No implication that purple is girly intended. And also now no offense to the dudes out there that may match their nail polish to their reo either. :) no judgements here!

I already picked up the aw batteries but that should be ok cuz I'm pretty happy so far with my coils running at about 1.5-1.8. May be a long time if ever before I go low!

Congrats Becky!

No he discontinued using a discount instead of raising prices to cover it. RTD is top notch place and a Reonaut as well. AW 1600s and Sony VTC 5 are great choices.

I just ordered, (been using for a few days now), a pair of LG HE2's and am very impressed so far. I was going to order the VTC5's, but due to the quality of the +/- connections I decided against that until Sony gets that worked out. The jury is still out but compared to my Panasonic CGR's, the LG's have been lasting twice as long. Granted the Panny's are over a year old and have seen a lot of use, but the LG's are performing quite well to now...

Wait, Pink? REOs come in Pink? I thought the only color even close to that was "manly salmon" ;)
