Dumb Question??

[dirtybirdy]

So I am interested in getting a Reo and I was wanting to know what is the difference between the grand, super light reo grand, etc. Also I am wanting to know if I buy the Reo Grand for $146 is that all I need or do I need to buy the metal door etc. The next question is I use a tugboat rda on my tube mods can I use this on the Reo Grand or do I need a different rda or will any rda/rba work?

Thanks in advance.

The super light reo has the holes cut out of it which makes it more lightweight than a regular grand. The door will come with the reo so no need to buy an additional unless you wanted a different color to switch it out/change the look. The tugboat is typically a top feed so would need to be modified to use as a bottom feed if you want to sqounk the juice up from the reo into it. The atty's Rob sells are all modified to use with the reo as a bottom feed. You will probably want to buy the LP version of the grand so that you can use the larger atty's on the grand as well as the LP rm2 if you wanted that. Hope this helps! I know it's a bit confusing at first.

So I could buy the Reomizer 2.0 and it would work on the Reo Grand LP

That is correct. The rm2 is smaller in circumference than most attys and will work on the regular grand. The lp grand will accommodate larger 22mm attys that are bottom fed.

And the lp grand (low profile) will also accommodate the rm2. So basically, if you don't plan to use cartomizers, I'd recommend the lp as it will work with most bottom fed attys regardless of size. The sl (super light) is just machined with lots of slots to cut weight and it looks great too.

Cngrats, in addition to your Reo, you will need:

Batteries
charger
RBA
wire
wick
ohm meter

These are both Reo Grands, on the left is the LP version, notice that the drip well is shorter. Both of these have RM2 installed, the RM2 on the left is the LP version that has the original size base, it is wider than 14mm so it will only fit on an LP Reo. The RM2 on the right is the standard version that has had the base milled down so it can fit inside of the drip well of the standard Reo. Also note the Reo on theright is an SL version.

If you get the LP Grand, make sure you order the LP RM2 if that's your choice of attys. The other attys on his site will all work with the LP Grand, but there are two options for the RM2, so make sure you get the one marked as LP if you get the LP REO.

Can any wicking material be used with the RM2 such as cotton?

Can any wicking material be used with the RM2 such as cotton?

Yes. I'm using rayon these days, but you can use anything.

 

[dirtybirdy]

So to order one I am looking around $190 w/ the RM2? Do I need to order anything else? I have batteries and chargers.

I think the button covers are a nice touch. Certainly makes the button nice and comfy. A rebuild kit sounds like a nice thing to have on hand, or at least an extra spring incase it shorts out.

LP means "Low Profile"...in other words as I understand it, the catch cup on the top has a "low profile", not tall and fat like what you see on the older standard Reos. DO NOT do what I did and order the wrong RM2...the one you should get to start is the one that says..."low profile reomizer works with lp mods only" (it doesn't say RM2 but it is an RM2). If this information is not correct then someone jump in here and make a correction.

It's just my opinion but I think everyone here will agree that we all need to start with an LP RM2. It just works great and is very easy to rebuild! Good luck, and you may want to order more bottles and O-rings and screws, and for sure an extra spring in case you get a 'short' (because a short ruins your spring). Just look at everything in Accessories.

Have fun!

May have to get a button cover, I just don't want to leave anything out when I place the order because from everything I read if I do and I can't use it I will be very sad.

Also whats the average time to get mailed? Do they send out next day, couple days from now, etc.

Rob mails on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays

 

[JC Okie]

I'd get the button cover, and like a few have mentioned, an extra spring or two. If you order it today, you'll PROBABLY have it by Friday. It will come "signature required" so someone will need to be around to sign for it, or the mailman will just leave a little notification slip and you'll have to go pick it up. You wiill be able to find your tracking info through Paypal. If you don't get an email from them, then check your account and you should find it.

Edit: sorry....if you order today, it won't go out till Friday. I lost track of time and thought this was Tuesday. The down side of retirement.....

You can lower the price by going with a blemished mod, People spend hours trying to find the blemish, any other Manufacture would sell these as firsts. You can PM Rob to find out if he has any currently, his user name is Redeyedancer

Super-light low-profile tumbled raw aluminum REO mini 2.1 (with low-profile RM2) in front, low-profile silver hammertone REO Grand (with Madz Modz Reactor [modified for bottom-feed]) in back...

What sort of build are you running on your Tugboat?

 

[dirtybirdy]

On my tug I use dual micro coils. I looked at the blemish ones they didn't have any available. I would prefer to buy a blem to be honest.
