They came!!!!!! I really had it in my head that I wanted a Grand- then a lovely member talked me into a Mini- in the end I went for both, and am so glad I got them both.

The quality is unbelievable- it's exquisite. You can tell that Rob put a lot of his soul into these- and there were more than a few sleepless nights, and eureka moments that went into them.

Every last detail looks and feels like it's been fine tuned to produce the ultimate vaping experience. Going from a made in China e-cig to this is about like going from driving a $500 beater to a new Mercedes.

The engineering, the build quality, the attention to detail- and the overall elegance of the design. It's incredible, and THANK YOU for making these.

The Mini feels great in my hand, and it's so cute! The Grand will be my knock-around take it to work model.

First vape was a pseudo-DIY blend of Cranberry-Strawberry and Mango Peach from Rockstar Vapor blended with a little menthol, and some cherry cola. It's my all-day vape, and I'm glad I mixed it light. The Mini hits like a freight train, and I couldn't put it down. :blink:

Right now it's full with Green Tea Citrus from Bluemist vaping- really yummy.

And the community of people around this is amazing. From the second I had an inkling that I wanted a Reo people stepped up with great advice, and tips- you're a great bunch of folks, and that alone makes the Reo a fantastic experience.

I'm waiting for alien Visions to open back up...for a little extra fun.

Congrats on your new Reo's guys!!!!! I feel like we should have a toast to our new babies!

They really are incredible, and I can see how you would want to have one in every color- like a nice pair of shoes, or a shirt that fits you just right.

I've been pacifying my urge for different colors by making different skins from scrap fabric tonight- fun and easy. That's why I went with the silver- it's easier to match with bling, and various accessories.

Yes, today I went from 24 mg down to 18 mg. Tomorrow I'll go back up to 24 and try to be a good girl when I'm at work- it will be a first ;)

Congrats on your new arrival!!!

Oooh- leather and lace sounds fun. I like the way you think!!!

Mine is just vinyl covered fabric with a little bling- and I actually used scotch tape to attach it to the Reo, and then I put some transparent velcro on the fabric to attach it to itself, and make it so I can get in there to change the battery. It's not permanent- so I can change it out, and play dress-up with it.

I made a paper pattern first so I could get the hole placement right- big help!

A leather artist could do a lot of fun things with Reo skins :)

Suziesmom, Were did you get that sweet Reo Mini cover? Did you make it? I would love one of these (Just a little more masculine.) ;)

Thanks! I did make it- they're actually really easy to make. It's just a 2-3/4" x 5-3/8" piece of fabric attached to the mini with a piece of tape, and a couple of pieces of transparent Velcro.

Staples sells sheets of duct tape if you want to go super manly :)

I was actually inspired by another forum member that had covered his with carbon fiber like this:
Black 3D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Adhesive Wrap Sheet 12"x25" | eBay

He had cut it into pieces and just attached it to the surfaces. It looked great- I just wanted something a little less permanent so I went with the wrap.

Yeah- redneck is as redneck does. I'm from out in the sticks, so using duct tape is sorta second nature for me. The new colors and patterns are actually sorta cool looking.

I think BMWJen used a laptop skin on one of her ecigs- it looked cool, but I haven't been to town to grab one. I have a bunch of fabric scraps around here, so I've been making them out of that.

The black vinyl is my favorite. I think it comes out to about 10 skins per 1/4 yard, and that costs about $4 at Joann's.

Leather or pleather is next- I want to surprise my husband with a nice leather case for his. He's not a duct tape fan either...

I made a little tutorial in the Mods section...
