First Reo arrived and official "Hello"

[Honigschmidt]

Hi guys,

I joined ECF over a year ago and started my journey on quitting smoking and learning how to Vape. It really is thanks to this forum I found out that I was not stuck with the cig style ecigs bought at drug stores. I have always been thankful for that.

Long story short I started off with a nice Riva pen style ecig, then to a Roughstack, then to a Vmod XL.

The Vmod introduced me to how much I liked bottom feeders, and while I think it is a good mod, it broke down in less than a year. One accidental drop too many I believe. After the casing bent to far and the firing mechanisms lodged loose, the only way it would work was to take it apart down to it's skeleton.

I researched bottom feeders to see what else was out there and post after post mentioned the Reo's as the "Endgame" for bottom feeders. I think the common quote was "Stop thinking about it and get one. You'll thank us later"

Well I am here to thank you all. My Reo arrived about 4 days ago and I am been enjoying every Vape I can get out of it. I am rough on a lot of my toys and you can just feel how sturdy this thing is. It just feels natural for me and I can honestly say I am hooked on Reo mods.

If you read this, thank you Rob. You made one heck of a mod and are one heck of a nice guy from the few emailed I received by you.

And to go with this post, a couple of Pics of my new Reo Grand:

i like the color scheme

when are you going to buy your second one?

 

[Honigschmidt]

Thanks for the welcome guys

You know, I bet the Reo mini VV will be the next thing I save up for. I honestly thought my wife was going to get upset when I bought the Reo, but she has been supportive of me stopping analogs since day one.

That's a good lookin Reo. Makes me want to get a red door for mine.

Thanks for sharing your vmod experience. I will need a small summertime vape at some point soon & was considering a vmod 2.0, but the more I read the more I want to stay in Reoville for the long haul. The women are better looking!!

Congrats! Welcome to REOville! You now have THE best PV around. Seems like I've said this a few times recently but here goes, "you have the best, so hell with the rest"!
Looks like your next step is strapping on a RBA onto that bad boy!

Very nice REO I have been looking at those as well as the VMOD, I have seen this posted quite often but please excuse my newbie question but what is a RBA?

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes all.

The VMOD was not bad at all. I really can't bash it as it served me well for the amount of time I had it. I think they go for around 80.00 normally but I got a 50% off coupon for Black Friday, so I got it for around 40.00... But if I got it late November, and it fell apart on me by late January, that kind of says a thing or two.

Granted that thing went with me everywhere and was dropped more times than I care to admit to. I think because of its all plastic parts it was not meant to be for me.

The Reo is so solid though. Silly comparison, but to me the Vmod felt like a sandisk MP3 player you can buy for 19.99 at Frys.

The Reo felt like a 64 gig iPad.

Rebuildable Atomizer.

Ok that makes sense now LOL I'll go read up on those.

To the OP sorry for the hijack and once again that is a sexy REO you have there!

 

[Ladycats]

Beautiful !!! and welcome

 

[Rellen13]

Very nice looking Grand! It was one I considered before opting for the all Black Wrinkle one I bought. Is that the Mahogany door, the Red door, or the Red Metallic door? (I wanted all three!)

 

[redeyedancer]

Welcome Honigschmidt and thank you

Haha I feel the same way. I was looking over the section of doors and just kept saying "That one, that one... of and that one"

And thank you Rob. It is a great device you have created and just like so many others here, I belive you made another fan for life.

Congrats and welcome - you made a great choice! If you browse this forum, you'll find stories of REO's that have been run over by trucks, left in a muddy field, submerged in cooler full of water for a couple days, dropped from great heights, subjected to dirt, sawdust, paint - you name it. You know, just everyday life. They take a licking and keep on ticking ;-)

Welcome to Reoville Honigschmidt!!!

You are now an official Reo fanboy!

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Welcome, Honigschmidt

 

[Honigschmidt]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you guys

Already I have dropped it on cement getting out of my car. My first thought was "Oh Crap already?!?" Not even the black finish was scratched. Granted I expect mines to have many battle scars, but I was giddy to see if survived its first drop unscathed.
