Finally saw another one!!!!

[Jugband]

I have mentioned before I live in the town time forgot. Believe it or not we don't have a single vape shop! Everyone smokes, in the year and a half I've been vapeing I've only come across one person with an ego battery, that's it! It's a tiny town not quite in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here. My friend and I were in the car today with her German Shepherd riding in the back seat. While sitting at a red light vapeing on our Reo's a car pulls up beside us. We notice the driver trying to get our attention. We assume he's just messing with the goofball with his head out the window in the back. We finally look and to our absolute amazement, he holds up a Reo Grand!!! I know people will read this and think, so??? If you knew this little backwards, what's a vape shop town, you would get it! Honestly we couldn't have been more shocked to have turned to fine Big Foot driving the car next to us. Just a little Reo excitement in a small town today

That is great! Wonder if they are on ECF?

I have seen a couple of Ego's, and some cig-a-likes being used as well as a couple of tubes. The only others I see with REO's around here are my son and daughter!

I live in Los Angeles and I have yet to encounter a fellow REOnaut in the wild.

Consider yourself lucky. It's all cloud-chasing flavor-of-the-monthers round these parts.

People here know what the REO is but they cling to their shiny preciouseses.... funny thing is that people always complain about box mods..but a REO Grand is smaller than a regular pack of smokes, I used to smoke Newport 100's and those are probably still bigger than a REO VV Grand...

 

[pwheeler]

And I thought you were talking about my town! I've never seen another vaper here, not even one vaping cig-a-likes. I'd get so excited if I found one here, even if they were just using Egos, and if I found a Reonaut, I'd be floored!

 

[Raynman]

I see quite a few vapers around my parts but no Reos.

 

[Jugband]

Wow! I'm so shocked at these replies! I guess my encounter was even rarer than I thought! Now I'm wishing we would have chased him down and got details! Like I said he was clearly surprised, trying to get our attention and holding his up. Hey, I just realized if he's on ECF we should hear from him!

 

[kinggirl]

I live in Dallas Tx and have yet to actually see someone with a Reo. I know they exist - but haven't ran into someone in person.

Here in the WV hills I've never seen another vaper. I know they're here. We have a vape shop and they've managed to stay in business for a year. They sell nothing but egos and cig-alikes. My DIY is better than their juice so I don't go there very often. I went in with my Kayfun on my Gus and they had no idea what it was. The owner did an interview with our paper where he said he was motivated to open the store because there was money in it. He doesn't even vape, he still smokes (at least the last time I was in there). I still have yet to see another person with an e-cig. Even when I went to the store I was the only customer and the guy running it was smoking so I didn't even see a vaper there.

I live on an island (6 miles x 2 miles) in the Bay Area and I have never seen another Reonaut round about town or anywhere for that matter. I know Sashwa lives here, so when I am driving around and am stopped at a traffic light, I purposely vape my Reo in case Sashwa is around and will recognize a fellow Reonaut. LOL

Maybe I am subconsciously or consciously showing off my Reo cuz I am such a fan boy of the best vaping gear in the world. Yep, I've got mental issues but at least I ain't hurting no one!

I live/work in the north Bay Area and have yet to see another reo as well. I've shown mine to the guys at the local b&m and they think it's only good use is while driving. Otherwise, most vapers I see around here are using tube mods. I don't get south of the Benicia bridge much, but I'll keep an eye out for a vaper with a reo when I do.

 

[olefolks]

I live in Lewisville, TX. Dallas is a suburb. When I go into a local vape shop with my Grand the employees will always ask what it is. My usual response is "Its a mobile dripping machine" called a Reo. Their response is "Oh, I've heard of them".

But, no I have not seen another person with a Reo.

 

[oldbroad]

have any of you Texans checked out the texas roll call? There's a LOT of Reonaughts in your state.

As a matter of fact, i went down there in the spring 2013 for a Reo meet...I had a stupendous time!

You all should set up a get together!

 

[NicLiq]

Great story! I have never seen another one, but I know I have several in my state. Mostly I see people with a big pipe mod in both hands, and I have to try to avert my eyes.

 

[canoeist]

Every time my wife walks thru the room I see another REO

I'd love to get together with fellow Reonauts in my state. Problem is, our state is larger than many countries! Not so easy to join up.

if I walked into a vape shop and saw the owner smoking I would do a quick 180.

Hence your name Whiplash205! Glad your not Whiplash180. LOL

I'm with you, I'd not waste anytime in that shop.

Hi All,
In San Diego we have a large vaping community with a ton of shops. It seems like all the shop owners know each other and hit different parts of the market. It's not uncommon to see an employee or even owner from one shop visiting each other and buying juices that they don't carry in their own place.
I've been vaping since Oct '13 and joined Reoville about 2 months ago. And I have not seen anyone with a REO in my area.
Lots of new vapers starting with ego's. Lots of high end tubes and drippers, (though I've noticed most of them end up being traded around).
Most people, even in the shops, don't know what a Reo is or have never seen one in person. I'm guessing that since they can't sell them they don't have a reason to use them.

That pretty much how it went down.
