I've been reading a lot here cause I've been rocking a Vmod XL, but I've decided to order a Reo as well. I'm really getting into the BF thing. I've gotten back into vaping recently after doing it years ago. Started out with those lame cartridges,then switched to dripping after I had to use VG liquid. Dripping for me was like this: Drip 3 drops into atty. Puff, puff, puff, DRY HIT. Add 2 drops. Puff, puff, puff. DRY HIT. Add 2 drops. Now liquid is leaking on my hand. Wipe, wipe. That's why I find it amusing every time you guys compare a REO to Vmod. "You have to tilt the Vmod squonk it". You mean you actually have to tilt your hand every few minutes? Oh, the humanity!:)

My Vmod has sat untouched in my vape drawer since I got my Reo. The RM2 atty is damn near impossible to flood.

For me, having to tilt the Vmod wasn't a annoyance until I got my Reo.

My Vmod will be in the classies some time this week. That should be an indication of how fan-freaking-tastic the Reo is.

I don't think saying it makes you lazy would be the right way to put it. I could've got a vmod cheap in the classifieds but why buy an imitation when you can buy one of the original designs that's still the king in performance? That was what sold me quality and design over price!It's definitely a game changer though. It's taken all the complaints and problems i had away.

Well if you have a tough job give it to the laziest person on the crew because he'll find the easiest way to do it. That being said I would say we're not lazy we're smart. Welcome to Reoville make sure you post pix when it gets here. Have you picked a color size etc etc. I would also suggest getting a RM2 then you go from drip/hit/wipe to squonk hit hit hit squonk hit hit hit until the cows come home.

Some of my favorite sayings include, "Work smarter, not harder" and "I'm lazy... I'd rather just do it right the first time."

I did enough tilting with my first PV, a top coil clearomizer on an eGo... is using a BCC such as an Evod or ProTank lazy?

IMO, using a REO is a lot smarter than setting up a finicky genny wick and coil, tilting when vaping and NOT tilting when not vaping.

As always, YMMV.

I'm lazy. But thats probably just because I was born in 1990. :p

Once I got my Reo, held on to my provari for awhile, then when I ordered my second grand, I put the vari in the classis and got it tradded for my 3rd grand. Obsession? Yes. Will I buy another tube? Probably not. What will I spend my money on? Probably more juice. What will my vaping efforts go towards? DIY Juice. Learning curve. thats all.

I used to be a hard working , industrious sort of a fellow. Sun up til sundown I toiled. As Ray Charles sang,

"Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Well that's the way it used to be. Then I made the mistake of buying a Reo. Ever since the first hit off my Reo the farthest I've moved from the ole worn out lazy boy is to lean over when I dropped my remote control a couple of months ago. "Said state" they say. Mummers, whisperings, furtive glances. I hear them talking about me. I know they do but it just doesn't matter anymore. They can get on their soap boxes, condemn my slovenly ways, feel superior. Its OK because I just don't give a damn any more. I got my Reo. I got my juice. I got my Kanthal and I have my cotton balls and its all within reach. The rest of the world can go to hell in a hand basket as far as I'm concerned. So take your damn Xmods, tanks, electronic tubes and anything else and put it where that lucky ole sun doesn't shine.

Ha! You seem like a good bunch of folks, so I had to pick on ya! I've ordered a black wrinkled Grand. I decided to wait before I get an RM2. I've got big, shaky hands, so I don't know exactly how the rebuilding is gonna go. I'm waiting on an IGO L from FT. I want try it on a cheap RDA before I buy a 43 dollar one. I'm just enjoying all the options we have these days! Seems unreal that I can produce billowing clouds all day long without so much as removing my drip tip!

From what i have read the RM2 is easier to use than the cheaper ones. That is why my first and only rebuildable atty is the reomizer. Actually got 3 RM2s so i can use them on 3 out of 4 REOs that i currently have. Also I do have shakiness and bad eyesight but still can handle the RM2 it just takes me a little longer.

I started out with Vmods.Then bought my first REO and joined REOville. After a week I sold all my Vmods and got another REO :)

See i am not lazy otherwise i would just watch movies instead of participating in forums and drawing digital art pics sometimes :)

I just got my IGO-L from FT this weekend (ordered it before I joined the amazing REO ranks.) I don't think that it will work on the REO, as the FT IGO-L I have has a sealed 510 connection.

Either way, after becoming familiar with the RM2 and THEN trying out the IGO-L, well, the RM2 is hands down easier to set-up. It's the easiest rebuildable I have ever used.

You'll actually find the RM2 a lot easier to work with. I got big hands to and it's by far the easiest of my rebuildable attys. It has wide set posts and no little thumb screws or Allen wrench screws to fiddle with. And i felt the same way about price but in the grand scheme of things vaping it's actually middle of the road price wise.

Congratulations! :)

You passed on what is the best and easiest to set up RBA for big, shaky hands (IMO)

I'm waiting on an IGO L from FT.

I'm sure you noted it's not compatible with a bottom feeder, and with it's closely located, undrilled posts, I'd consider that one of the harder ones for big, shaky hands (again, IMO) and more likely to collapse a spring.

I want try it on a cheap RDA before I buy a 43 dollar one.

Well, if you can do the IGO-L, you'll find the RM2 easier. OTOH, if you can't do the IGO-L, that doesn't mean you can't do an RM2.

I'm just enjoying all the options we have these days! Seems unreal that I can produce billowing clouds all day long without so much as removing my drip tip!

You probably already know that isn't the case with the IGO-L, right?

You will do fine rebuilding. i have one big shaky hand- the other hand went completely numb due to nerve damage a few years ago and is next to useless. i was a bit nervous at first, but by the 2nd or 3rd coil i just laughed at myself about how ridiculously easy it is.

Welcome to Reoville!

Yes, I know I can't use the IGO on the REO. I'm just gonna put it on my VAMO. Still gotta use it for something, right?

My vamo is pretty much only used for checking resistance of my builds for my RM2. Also I agree with what everyone else said, the RM2 is way easier to build than the Igo-L. I have both, and I constantly mess around with the coils on my RM2 out of boredom at home. The Igo has only had 2 coils built for it in 6 weeks and that was out of necessity.
