Whoever is silly enough to buy this thing is gonna be SORRY!!!!!
If the $40 is right, that for a mod and atty is not something you are going to be sorry about. It might be crap but at that price it can afford to be. If it's truely mech, and it looks that way, a little tinkering might make it good I would definitely think about it as I like the look of it.

I can see the "Reo clone not firing" threads already LOL
Funny thing is, the Reo takes 2/3 of the clone argument out of the equation:
-They are available all the time, no F5 wars.
-They are offered at a modest price point, especially the blems.
This may be the clone that gets me banned from ECF, because I will show no mercy when the problem threads start popping up for this piece of junk.

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

China doesn't care about our patents.
Vendors might.
Many buyers do - especially loyal Reonauts!

I get the feeling that thing is basically a home-built prototype so far, and if you order 40 of them, they'll build it.
Good luck with that.
:D

If you look at the patent details of D649708S, the shown product characteristics come very close to a patent infringement.
I'm no claim specialist and I don't know, in how far US patents can be enforced on an international level.
Even if it is an infringement, Rob will not be able to stop Alibaba or any other international eshop from selling it.
And he can't stop US customers from buying the product there.

It's up to us to stay with the original Reo and spread the word about quality and supplier support and dedication.
These are the things you cannot buy on Alibaba.

Plastic door, plastic 510 seat, both look like it's begging to be dropped ... NOT

I'll stick with my floor denting, toe smashing, creek dunking, run over it with a mower, kick it down a gravel road, pick it up, dust it off, change a wet wick if it went swimming, squonk and vape original.

You forgot nuclear blast survival......:laugh:

I have my 2 reos and I'm happy with that. Actually I'm very happy with that. However for some people it is allot of money to drop on a mod and this is where this clone comes in. I can see people buying it, loving the concept of bottom feeder and ordering a real thing later on. Before i had my reo i was buying clones without giving it a second thought and ALL OF THEM worked perfectly!!!

I know it sucks for Rob, but this is life in vaping industry. If you have a good product...one day it will be cloned.
