Grand vs Mini

[redeyedancer]

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.

It is a working mans mod for sure

Or a working woman's mod......us gals like using the boy toys too

I'm so loving my mini reo I'm now torn about putting my beloved phidias up for sale now just to get a grand. I vape almost pure vg juice and I find the reo feeds so perfectly I'm barely using the phid now. But the phid is a work of art so.....decisions, decisions.

I can see how whatever reo a person starts with is only just the beginning. Its not long before another one is added to the collection.

I got a Woodvil soon after my original Mini. You'd think that would be sufficient back-up, but nooooooo...I feel so much better with two Minis

This rancher woman appreciates a good piece of equipment that is simple and worry free too.

I just sold the last of my three phids today. They are beautiful, but I have fallen head over heels with Reo's. So much simpler and no worries about getting em bunged up. K.I.S.S is my moto.

I do feel your pain though. I just couldn't justify form over function ;-)

Dumb question here: What's the difference between protected batteries and unprotected batteries?

Dumb question here: What's the difference between protected batteries and unprotected batteries?

Protected batteries have a PCB (Protection Circuit Board) that when tripped, internally severs the flow of power inside the battery. The unprotected batteries don't have this device. This is important because the Li-Io batteries when overstressed, overcharged...will vent, and it can catch on fire. Unprotected batteries don't have this device. However, some of the unprotected batteries have a "safer" chemistry that when it vents, it is usually in the form of gas. Honestly...they both have their faults and have failed. I have both and use both and have never had a problem.

Using a multimeter to keep tabs on your batteries is not a bad thing. Also, if you drop a battery or damage it in anyway is solid grounds for tossing it. Some of the failures have been claimed to be the result of a damaged battery. Better safe than sorry.

Never in my life did I expect to take up a "hobby" that required me to learn about voltage, ohms, batteries, etc... ROFL

Now that I have my mini, I'm finding hard to sell my grand, though I don't think I can afford to keep both. I wish I'd gotten a silver body mini than the black. Wonder what the Nickel plated looks like? There's no pic on the website. If anyone has that one could they post a picture?

They haven't been made yet. That is in the works right now. Pictures will be coming in the next couple of weeks.
