I'm thinking about trying the ViVi NOVA with my SI X2, I really like the idea of being able to disassemble the clearomizer and replace parts, clean it more easily, etc.

:lol: That's my favorite. Makes me remember being excited about getting a ego with the little plastic tanks.

I have a truckload of clearomizers. The only system I was every 99% satisfied with was carto tanks. I have zero nic in a few of them for my wife to use. She's extremely casual about vaping, was never a smoker, and I think a Reo would be a bit over the top for her needs. Of course that doesn't stop me from thinking about ordering one for her. i'd let her try one of mine first though.

Funny, that's about the same story with me. Wife never was any kind of a smoker, but I bought here a little ego c-twist with some fruity zero nic juices. She will pull it out on occasion when she has a sweet tooth and is avoiding candy/sweets. Every so often i'll try to get her to take a drag off one of my mechs, she rarely does it because she's "scared" (virgin lungs lol). However, she has done the Reo a few times and REALLY liked it. As we know, the flavor on a reo/rm2 BLOWS away the flavor out of any carto/clearomizer. I have thought about getting her a Mini, but to my knowledge you cannot get a RM2 on there, so that kind of defeats the purpose. I may just buck up and get her a grand, wrap is a nice mild, 1.5-2.0 ohm coil so she can actually get the most out of her vaping experience.

When I decided I was going to trade/sell my Reo the first time around, she told me, "No! Don't do it, you will regret it". I had no idea why she was saying this as she hardly knows schitt from her shoes when it comes to vaping. Apparently she was observing how I would always go back to the Reo (despite TRYING to not like it :p). When I re-bought my newest Reo, I got the ol' "I told you so" treatment.

One of the many great things about the Reo is the flexibility in vaping styles, so to speak. No matter how aggressive (or not), you like to vape, there are options. As much as I do like some of my Tubed Mech mods (appearance wise), there is simply no Chi You that has a 'feminine' twist to it like the Reo's have, if wanted. It took hundreds and hundreds of dollars, testing out the vaping market for me to come to the conclusion that you simply cannot go wrong with a Reo.

Vapobro, how did you get from there to REOvil - no one even suggested a REO to you? I'm glad your here my man :) Congrats on a wonderful journey and nearly a year off the smokes.

oh, I hear ya on the first posts. Mine make me laugh when I look back at them :)

Thanks! This forum is so active that it pops up on the new posts page all the time. I started noticing, and here I am. :D

Ooh, I saw a delectable pink one (manly salmon for Dennis) the other day. Custom order from Rob. Come on Vapolith, order one for your wife!

That was the post that got me thinking about one for her. I'm thinking Purple metallic body, with a pink door. She'd love it, but first to see how well she'd do with it. She has spacial and motor skills issues, she make this clumsy oaf look like a brain surgeon. ;)

Exactly, I don't even want to know how much I spent on other stuff.

Quick drop in. Congrats. Although the 18490 Mini is my favorite size for many reasons the Grand may be easier for the Mrs to hold onto. I have some cervical nerve root damage that affects both hands, most usually moderate, but I do have flare ups with lessoned feeling in fingers and/or spasms and/or cramps or fingers locking up. (Other issues in addition to cervical nerves.) The Grand is much easier to hold onto than smaller. (85% of my vaping is 14500 or 18490 Minis but sometimes my hands handle Grand or VV Grand better.) BTW.... I have never been a "pink girlie" but, of my metal REOs "purple" and Silver Anodized (most my workhorses) are the most numbers in my collection. AND it's been really hard not ordering a Pink REO! If Pink REO is anywhere as beautiful as Robert's orange (I never liked orange until getting orange REO) then Mrs should be thrilled with anything REO in Pink and/or Purple.

They fit the Mini 2.1, not the old minis.

No, they fit the original Minis too now. All the ones he's selling now fit all of the metal REOs (including the original Minis.) So many people were asking him to mill them down to fit the original Mini that he just decided to mill them ALL down....so now they all fit. I have several on my original Minis and they work fine.

If you buy a new RM2 from Rob, it'll fit ANY metal REO. If you get one off classifieds, it may or may not.....

edit: (BTW....you can't do really low-ohm with one on the original Mini because of the limitations of the 14500 battery.)

I am running a .32 ohm coil in my Helios/Chi You Clone in 18490 mode with 0 issues whatsoever.. Some people get a little too hung up on that kinda stuff IMHO.


edit: I didn't have intentions on such a low build, it was my first wrap with 28g nichrome, I will be re-building it tonight. But I have been vaping this exact build in the evenings for 3 or so days now. It drains the crap outta my battery, otherwise no heating or other issues..
