Pet peeve... my REOs might have given me dissociative identity disorder.
Before I got my first REO, I was building, modding, and repairing PVs pretty often. I was spending a lot of time reading what really serious modders like breaktru and mamu were up to. I was fixing stuff for a couple of local vapers and even did some repairs for a few fellow ECF-ers. I was making
mod and repair a pretty serious hobby. Hardly a day went by that I didn't have a soldering iron in my hand or I wasn't replacing a connector or a switch on *something*.
When I got my mini, I even spent like 8 bucks on a couple of spare springs and maybe another four bucks on a spare tube and O-ring assembly in anticipation of problems. ... and then there were never any problems. I've never had to fix anything. That was annoying and uncomfortable.
Now, my favorite thing about my REOs is that they never break and I never have to mess with them. I haven't done a single repair or even taken apart a single PV since I decided to just use my REOs and nothing else. Next month will be a full year since I fixed or worked on any PV and the month after will be two full years my REO mini has been 100% reliable.
