Everyone has been so very helpful...thank you all for your time and suggestions! If anyone comes across something along the lines of the ZNA or the Sidewinder House of Hybrids has that does an 18650 battery, but without the highest price tag I'd love to hear about it, as I have lots of 18650s in my collection already and find their time between charges lacking. Thank you all so much!

If the price tag wont break the bank and you, and you can make it happen even if you dont feel to swell about the price tag I strongly encourage you to take the leap. Many people buy plenty of these mods and finally drift toward the ZNA... after spending hundreds of other dollars on other mods that aren't as superior. Many people prefer them over the Provari.

A couple of thoughts about the Reo. They can easily be used with cartos or regular dripping attys that feed from the bottom. I know there are a bunch that are good for this. I just tried squonking mine using one thumb on the bottle and my other hand over the thumb and that makes it quite easy to do.

I imagine you could squonk a ML into a carto at one go and be squonk free for quite a while. You might even be able to squonk with the Reo on it's side on the table using a stick of some kind that you can hold in your whole hand with the other hand on top of the first. You just have to have enough juice in the 6 ml bottle so the end of the tube is covered. Or don't lay the Reo completely flat, put a book under the top end so it's at an angle.

Maybe someone who has used a carto on a Reo can help out with better info, or you could ask about it in the Reo forum skyrose.

Not on it's side? I didn't know that. It's often upside down in my purse. Oops.

I'm not crazy about using a carto on the Reo, since I get such nice flavor from an atty or an RM2.

Well, you can leave it in any orientation you want and it won't leak unless you've got a RDA full of juice on it. I was talking about squonking it on its side with a carto on it :). Unless I totally misunderstood what you meant Ocelot.

How am I supposed to know what I meant? I use the RM2 and the juice goes back down into the bottle...I think...anyway, it hasn't leaked. :)

LOL, I hear ya. I also use a RM2. I can tell you for sure that if you squonk it and don't vape it, there is enough juice in the atty to make a mess if you put it down air hole down.

Don't ask me how I know that

The provari's button is very easy to push, it doesn't require hardly any force at all, and is located about 2/3 the way up the mod. Depending on your mobility, the Reo might be easier (or harder) to hold, but the button placement at the top might provide more leverage when pushing. The Reo's button, however, does require a bit more force and you should have the small motor control so you can twist the button into its safe "off" position. The Provari's electronics will protect you against accidental firing.

Squonking the Reo might also be problematic, but I suppose you could use it with some sort of tank setup.

All things considered, I would lean toward recommending the Provari, unless a tube mod is difficult for you to hold.

Describe for me your ideal devise? Is it:
1. Lightweight?
2. Long battery life?
3. Top/Side/Front firing button - a button that does not require alot of pressure to push?

What are all the variables (from a disability standpoint) you need to consider?

In some ways I may be much like you. I've got PPMS which has basically left me with the use of 1.25 hands. No fine-tune motor skills (or strength) in my dominant hand.

Depending on how much you can move your hand, and how much weight, a pipe mod might work. I have a k1000 pipe and the button is easy to press, but might be difficult for you to open the battery compartment because there are little indents to give you a grip to open it.

Uhm. Maybe a side button mod?

I know the price is steep but I assure you if you are well to do off, than that is money very well spent. You will have the device you are looking for with low maintenance, extremely easy set up, and argueably the most desired product on the market and for very good reason. The ZNA is all i could have ever wanted out of device in all honesty.

After checking out the ZNA I find a cannot fathom such an expensive device that is not mechanical and therefore can fail at any point and inevitably will at some point. My practical side and tight budget won't let me go there. But thanks for the recommendation!
