I have been thinking about getting down with an REO (thinking long term) and have been doing some research via this forum. Their site is a bit confusing to me as a noob in that area. Not sure what to buy especially concerning the various atties they offer. I am an MTL vapor who is most happy running a Kayfun @ 15 watts on a Provari Radius. I am also a bit scared of mech type devices. I have only rocked regulated to this point. Any tips, or direction given, would be most appreciated.
Well, PopPop is the Reo expert here. He owns 473 of them so I'm sure he can help you with REOs. Yes, a REO is a mechanical mod so it is very different than a Provari. Your build becomes more important (specifically your resistance) and then the watts end up being whatever your battery is putting out at the time. So power will go down as your battery charge goes down. Some people don't mind this so much. Others do. You'll have to find out for yourself.

Oops! Hi kkay - luckily it was only a study, thank goodness! The worst one to date was when Chile had a megaquake (9?) in the late 50's and it hit the big island (Hawaii).
Mike, I prefer the mechanical mod...especially the Reo. The spring will drop, in case of a runaway. After using them a while, you get a feel for when it is getting low enough to charge the batteries. I switch batteries twice a day. Invariably I nail it pretty close to 4.0 volts, or 3.9 volts. It is very rare if it gets to 3.8 volts. I can tell when it gets on the low end. The preferred battery for a Reo is an A&W button top. I use the 1600 mAh. A lot of people like the RM2 atty. It is a very simple, yet very effective design. I have a Derringer bottom fed clone on mine. I also have a Quasar atty on my Metal LP Reo Grand. It is very good too, but I would NOT put that one on the Woodvil. The newest metal Reo he has seems like the best of all worlds to me. I love the Woodvil, but I wouldn't dare take it out of this house. That's what the metal Reo is for.
Hi Mike , I think Papaw will back up what I'm about to tell you . I would suggest you start with an LP or low profile REO Grand , that will give you the widest choice of atty's to use . The regular REO Grand's 510 is recessed so it limits you to 14mm atty's while the LP's 510 is mounted flush and you can use any bottomfed atty on it . I'm strictly MTL myself and IMO the atty to get is the RM2 , Rob only has the LP RM2's in stock right now so an LP REO Grand and an LP RM2 is a no brainer combo . The RM2 is a 14mm atty with a ceramic deck so you can actually hit the deck with the coil without shorting it , it has no o-rings to worry about or replace , it'll last you a long time . I run mine at 1.2 ohms single coil and the flavor is intense easily the equal of any flavor atty out there and it gives plenty of warm vapor at that resistance , no need to subohm it and no worries about stressing your batteries , I use 3000 mah LG button top 18650's in mine , good for 2 days worth of vaping . If you can build a kayfun the RM2 will be a piece of cake , we're talking caveman simple here . The LP REO Grand is as close to indestructible as it gets , and combined with the RM2 it's a killer flavor machine .
