I'm really happy with my grand except that it's just too large for my small hands. Question for mini users--how long do the smaller batteries last? Are there any other differences between the grand and the mini?? Wondering if rob would let me exchange it for a mini, or maybe someone on here has a sliver mini they want to trade for a sliver/blue grand.
PM me if your interested.

I only have a Grand, but the consensus of Mini users say the Mini lasts for about 4 hours of heavy vaping. The same ones say the Grand will last for 12 hours. I'm sure a bunch of people with actual experience will jump in tomorrow morning.

If the Grand doesn't fit your hand a trade sounds like a good idea to me. Other than that that, I'd rather have a little larger mod than carrying around extra batteries. For extra batteries, I don't carry a purse around. But I'm considering it...

I'm seriously considering picking up another Grand. If you can't get a swap worked out, I'll buy a mini and we can trade. I wouldn't care at all if your Grand was used (as I doubt anyone else here would). You don't have cooties, do you?

I think how many batteries you go through has to do with how you vape. With the mini , I can go thru 2 to 3 batteries and sometimes 4 a day depending on the ohms of my attys or cartos. lr attys or cartos runs the battery down faster. I don't have a grand but I do have a woodvil and 1 battery can last me just about 1 day of vaping with standard 510s or 2.5 cartos.

At 3.7 volts the vape is very similar. Mini is Half as much liquid and smaller batteries. I go through 3-4 in my mini in a day with a 1.5 306 cisco.

The grand can run at 6 V or 7.4 if you put different batteries in it. The mini can only take the 14500.

The mini is considerably lighter and obviously smaller. If the size in your hand is getting you down, you probably would prefer the mini.

If you can swing it I suggest keeping the Grand and buying a mini. I had a mini for about 4 months then bought a grand. Enjoy having both and having 2 flavors available. Mini in my pocket, grand stays at home or in the truck. If I had to choose just one it would be the mini but two are better than one alone.

Good advice. If you can afford it, having a larger REO for home is great. I have a Woodvil as my desk vape.

I get a couple hours out of the bats on the mini, but I don't full drain them

Hey there Stownz, you vapeaholic. How are you liking the Mini? I'm guessing you're using it with dual coil cartos? If so, does it feed well enough to keep both coils wet? I've been too ADHD to give a dual coil a proper work out on my Grand.

Nope, dual coil cartos are on the Provari. Reo is for bottomfeeder. Using 306s and 510s on the Mini, Grand is HV 306s.

Don't see the need for a carto on a bottomfeeder. Cartos are for those mods that you need some juice capacity on which just happens to be like 95% of the market, haha.

Reo was so good, that I sold my 2nd GGTS +UFS if that puts anything into perspective 8) Broke a lot of hearts with that sale, never been hit with so many PMs in my life, but I made 1 person EXTREMELY happy. My Reo is not nickleplated, its not flashy, it doesn't have adjustable draw controll: but it works fine for me at work. As a power-vaping mechanic, I stress test everything out there: Reo just works. All the other mods I enjoy on the weekends, when I'm clean and relaxin.
