So just putting this out there, sadly I don't have my OWN yet. My best buddy bought 2 and because he's such an awesome friend he let me borrow one because I was playing with it more than he was :p. So I'm a sub-ohm crazy dripping kind of guy with huge air holes and low ohms and damn this thing was still amazing. Drilled the RM2 hole to 1/16 (still a bit tight for me) and slapped a 7 wrap micro on it. Damn this thing is just amazing. My first real thought when I was looking at all of it was "This is the Reomizer...?". I never realized how tiny it was but now I'm understanding why the flavor is great. Pretty much everything was a lot smaller than I thought. I'm in love with this thing and I really wish I could steal my friend's. This is coming from a guy who uses nothing but high end tube mods and 3 post drippers. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Lux and Nemesis (though I will always love my Nemmy for its sentimental value) but the Reo Grand blows the damn things away. The Lux will probably be out of my weekly rotation and my Nemesis will still probably have a hard time staying in. I WAS trying to get my hands on a Super T Precise Simplicity just so I could have the Strata but you know what? Screw that, I'm packing for Reoville.

Hopefully Rob will have those new springs so I could go lower on the resistance (yeah some things never change). Other than that, hats off to Rob for making this spectacular device.


Oh yeah one more thing, what's the biggest size airhole any of you use? Just curious because I might want to go for 5/64 but even 1/16 was cutting it really close to the threading and I don't want to mess up my friend's RM2 even though he wants them bigger.

The darn things just work so well, don't they? Imagine how happy your gonna be not having to drip ever again eh? Real dripping performance and flavor with 6ml of on demand fresh squonked juice!

There are some Reonauts floating around here who are resident cloud chasers rockin' 1/8" air holes and such. You guys will be in heaven once the sub-ohm kits come in March!

The only mod that leaves home with me is a REO Grand with 0.8Ω safe for work cotton wicked micro coil. It's so important to my work day/long day vaping, I have a backup, sporting a 0.5Ω coil. That said, I love my 20 mm diameter Super-T Simplicity 18500 for home. Rather than go for a Strata, I bought two ByLeo.eu Sophias for it and use 1.2 - 1.8Ω ready wire in them, in 19 mm IBTanked tanks. Everyone should have at least one REO. :)

I went with 2 3/64 holes, spaced at each end of the coil. gives me 3/32 of air flow but doesn't have the tendency to dribble that the 5/64 hole did.

Awesome I can drill the holes a bit plus the sub ohm kit is coming real soon. You us are awesome and I can't believe I didn't get a Reo sooner. Hopefully I'm ordering MINE today if Rob is available. Then I can give the one I'm using back to my friend... Maybe.. :p. Really wish I started with the Red but I guess a lot of us make the mistake of not doing so.

Welcome to the club. I felt the same way. I had the other toys and always wanted more BUT as soon as I got my REO......I have 5 now and I simply do not care or want anything else. Ah...I still remember my very first vape on my first REO. I wrapped a coil, squonked her up and took my first vape. It was literally WOW! another vape....WOW! My wife took a vape and instantly told me to get her a mini which we ordered that night. I love my REO's. There is nothing better!
