Deciision help for Reo #2?

[garpt01]

Hey all,

I am really enjoying my Grand LP! It has totally replaced ALL my other VV/VW and Mechs.

I'm thinking about #2- I have modded a couple of attys, own an RM2, and have an RM3 on the way. I'm looking at the mini or the Grand SL/LP- I want variety. But after reading the specs, it appears the Mini may not be a good choice for me; I don't see a significant size difference to justify the battery capacity compromise. It's hard to tell "on paper", but it appears to be only about 10% smaller, and one has to drop to around 1100-12--mAh battery at significantly reduced current. I'm using Sony VTC5's now, and getting about 2.5 times the battery capacity, and I still have to change out a battery on occasion.. So, for those that have a Mini, are you satisfied with battery life, have you found a higher capacity battery that I might have missed, and for a relatively heavy vaper, is it a good choice? For me, the smaller the better, but I don't want to sacrifice too much performance.

i guess my other option is the Grand SL? May be a better choice? Appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

You switch out your VTC5's a lot? What ohm are you vaping?

I mainly use my mini with an AW-IMR, I stay above a .7. The battery lasts me a good 10 hours.

Remember, the amperage on any 18490/500 is nowhere near that of the VTC's, so if you're down at a .4 or lower and that's your everyday... I recommend you stay on VTC5's. Which means, stay with the Grands.

I prefer the grand over the mini myself. It's bigger and heftier but the difference from 3ml to 6ml is what does it for me

I'm currently trying out these 6ml square bottles for the minis. Seem to be legit.

It's definitely interesting. I'm writing a full review with updates and such over on /r/reonauts.

Let's see how it goes.

I didn't understand what people meant when they told me the mini was "stealthier" until I got one. I can vape pretty much anywhere with it and it's not as noticeable. I like my coils even with my grand in the .8 range so it's fine for me. I'd say I probably enjoy them both equally. I have juice at work, so if I need to refill it's not a big deal. Hindsight, I'm glad I bought one. But, I still want a SL one now lol. That's my next obsession until I purchase. I don't find myself changing batteries until the end of the day only because I want them to be fresh the next day.

Thanks, lou.
I don't swap them out a *lot* during the day, but when they get low, I can definitely tell a difference @ around .8. I usually don't go much lower then that. But, yeah, I vape a lot. I can vape in my office during the day as well. But you are thinking like me I believe I will miss the 18650. So leaning towards staying w/ the Grand.

A point I missed in my post- 3ml. vs. 6ml. That, for me, would mean multiple refills per day! (Well, at least one...)

That's where I'm leaning- an SL for #2.
