Compairison for daily use: I have all four.

WetBox----Cheaply made junk. Don't waste your money.

All 3 below perform equally well w/a LR 510. Juicing is simple on all 3.

Big REO---Not Portable...too big...good for home use

Mini REO---Uncomfortable button position....otherwise very portable.

Feedimus---PERFECT size and comfort. Only complaint. The battery holder is kinda finicky. Just have to manually position the batt. no biggie.

Nice to see a quick comparo, Mike, but I must disagree with a few of your findings. While I don't have the Wetbox or Big Reo, I do have the PHidias Feedimus and I just received the Mini-Reo today. For me, the button placement of the mini-Reo is perfect. I've used a GLV2 for awhile now, and the button is in a similar location..........very comfy for me.

As for the battery holder in the Feedimus being finicky, I haven't had that experience to a degree where it would be annoying. I don't know what batteries you are using, but I find that the grey Trustfire 2400mah and Ultrafire 3000mah batts pop right in, although they are bit too long and depress the spring quite a bit. And I can see where you may have to play around a bit with the battery as it is a tad tight.

I just received a black AW 2600mah battery and the fit is perfect. Apparently this is the battery that fono (Phidias creator) builds the Phidias around. It definitely eliminates any finickiness that one might find with regards to the battery compartment. Check it out. :D

I like the button on the Mini, too - it took a little getting used to, but now it is comfortable and its location doesn't lend itself to accidental firing (I'm usually too lazy to lock it). I don't have one of the wood mods, but may get one someday for home use. I do have an 808 WetBox, and it got daily use for 3 months. Once I figured out how to keep the switches clean, it worked like a champ. Not the most robust device on the planet, but I've gotten my money's worth out of it, and it's still going strong. I love my Mini, but will continue to use the WetBox for cartomizers.

different strokes for different folks.... i have to agree about the Wetbox, but for those that are not chain vapers, it should be fine; if you are afflicted, it won't hold up to constant use.
The Mini Reo is perfect; according to most owners including myself. The other top of the line wood feeders; Ali'i, Reo, Journey Man, Phidius are super and worth every penny... are you kidding me? No dripping no fuss no muss, just clouds of vapor...mmmm

The mini reo does look sweet. It looks super clean inside. None of the "homemade" look to it.

Thanks for the comparison, I would love the Ali'i for my first feeder. That thing is SWEEEEET LOOKING!

As far as the wetbox I will probably get one. For fifty bucks is doesn't have to last too long.
That was 10 days of cigs for me:)

You must have a lot of money, because you'd be lucky to get 10 days of use out of a WetBox. A friend of mine has two sitting in a junk drawer - one lasted 2 days, and the other didn't work properly out of the box. Don't take my word for it though, just do a search here on ECF and read what others have to say. On the other hand, I have a wood REO, two REO Minis, and two Phidias mods. They all cost more than the WetBox, but they are all well made and working exactly as one would expect a quality piece of hardware to work.

Well in that case I will cross it off my list. I was thinking it might last a few months :)

I cant wait to get my first feeder box mod. I think its going to be the way to go for me.

Just find the Feedimus most comfortable and best for on the go juice boxing. Also looks the best of the 3.

The REO MINI is great too. The button placement is a very minor complaint.

Juice Boxes are the only mods worth buying.

I agree fully
+2. I have a Phidias and a REO mini. I tend to use the Phidias at home and the mini on the go. Love them both. Not having to deal with carts = bliss :)
