Hi, everyone.
My name is Bruce. I've been planning to introduce myself for a while, but I wanted to be able to post some pics first. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out how to get pics from my phone into my computer, and then, here. I am tired of trying that, so here goes the intro. sans pics.....

About two months ago, my Son Matt, came to our door with a Strange Device.... He found out about this device from one of his friends. A fellow that he said was a "...heavy smoker, and would NEVER quit smoking!" His friend however, had quit, and had done it using this 'Strange Device'. He told my Son that he really needed to get one and try it out. Thus our introduction to a REO MINI!

My wife and I were no strangers to e-cigarettes. We (like most here) had purchased 'mall e-cigs' before, and like most here, were very impressed! At least at first. Soon their short-comings had presented themselves, and reluctantly, we found ourselves back on 'analogs'. The e-cigs seemed like a great idea, but just weren't 'there' yet. Little did we know....

When Matt brought the Mini over, all three of us were 'vaping' on it, and perfering it over our analogs. Ah, but it had to be too good to be true. Right? Afterall, we had been impressed with the 'mall e-cigs' too, at first. Well, he came over a couple of more times, and we 'vaped' with him. Each time he came over he was more and more impressed, and so were we.

I am quite the researcher (I'm a Scorpio;)). So, I began a study of the Reo Mini, and where vaping was in general. WOW! I had no idea! A whole world was there, under my feet. A world that ALL smokers should know about and most don't!

Well, we just HAVE to get our own Reo's, we said! LOL! Well it wasn't quite that easy. We had to be patient, bide our turn, and get the 'ordering trick' down. Thanks to my research, when the time was right, we were ready, and we GOT OURS, the FIRST try! How about that Reonauts? LOL! D~~n I'm good! :toast::2cool::vapor::vapor:
....all seriousness aside...

Today, it has been over two months since Matt smoked an analog. He figures he has paid for his mini, a couple of times over. My Wife and I have not had an analog since the 13th of May. Matt, has turned a couple of his friends into Reonauts. He got one for his Twin brother Mark, also. Mark hasn't smoked since. HOORAY! What a difference it has made in everyones life.

We are in our 'trying the juices' phase, and really finding it hard to find any we DON'T like. We are also learning what works and what dosen't work as well(since everything seems to work to some extent).

Since I don't have pics, I got one of the unfinished Silver mini's, and my Wife got a Purple one :2cool:

We would like to thank everyone here at e-cigarette forum for making such a valuable resource available to us. We would also like to thank Robert for such an awesome MOD! Thanks to all those who have been working on making vaping a better alternative to smoking. Surely many lives have been extended, if not saved because of your efforts.

I am very excited about where all this is going, and can't wait to see what is around the corner for Vaping. If the government will keep it's nose out of this (don't get me STARTED!) who knows what will happen.

Thanks again. Sorry for the long post.....

Bruce (aka bruscifer) and Wife Teri....

Great intro Bruce :)

Welcome to reoville. So nice to hear that you and your family are enjoying the vaping way life. I've been vaping for a little while now and although I have found a juice that I consider my go to juice, I don't think I'll ever get to a point that I won't be open to try something new. That's one of the many wonderful things about vaping - its like a restaurant menu, so many tastes to taste it can be a joy ride of flavors.

Enjoy your journey!

What a great story of success! Congratulations to you Bruce, Teri, Matt and Mark!
Myself and my two grown children all have REO's. I understand the feelings behind your story. I never thought that we would all turn to vaping and get away from the cigs. REO's have not only made that a possibility they have made it so enjoyable!
I agree that vaping in general is a treasure hidden from many smokers. The e-cig manufacturers just can not compete with the tobacco, pharm, and government. If e-cigs had the advertising that the drug company's do the industry would grow and flourish. Switch every commercial on TV about a new drug for e-cigs and watch what would happen.
So, a few at a time find vaping and it changes their lives.
Glad you found the REO's and this forum. We welcome you anytime!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words....I recognize many names from posts, and comments on the forums. Thanks again to you guys for all your help. For every answer, and suggestion you not only help the OP but many lurkers such as myself.

I wish I could take credit for being "..savvy enough..." to pick the Reo first, but it was really my Son Matt who pointed us in that direction. Of course I merely confirmed his choice though my own research....ah ummmm....;-):D

I am more of a lurker than a poster, and not real sure of myself when it comes to decorum on the forum (yes...I am a frustrated poet)....anyway, I hope I don't offend anyone with my clumsiness...

Bruce
