BTW, im thinking of ordering cinnamon menthol type ejuice, my question is when vaping cinnamon based flavors will the flavors stick to the internals of the reo (bottle, hose etc.) cause i dont want to have to live with all my juices tasting like cinnamon or menthol of course =).

Im pretty sure ill have to dedicate a carto just for that flavor though.:blush:

Reo Impressions

1. Ease of use - Being my first bottom fed box mod (came from a provari) The no fuss approach of the reo is a god send. press it and you get juice. no buttons or settings to fiddle about no nothing. want 3.7 chuck in an aw imr 18650, 5volts use one of those 5v 18650's, 6volts use two lifepo4's simple as that.

2. easy to carry - never really felt comfortable putting a provari with a tank mod in my pants pocket. or carrying your juice bottle / bottles on those occasions you feel you want to change flavors. i feel like the tank will leak or break everytime i sit down. with the reo you just chuck it in your pocket and take it out when you want to vape simple as that. the juice is inside the mod itself. no tanks that might accidentally come of. or you suddenly feel like your tank is leaking juice from the air hole of your ce2 inside your pants making your handkerchief smell like juice. no drip tip sticking of your pocket cause your tube mod is longer than your pocket is deep.

3. rugged - feels like i can bash someone in the head and crack open a skull with the reo then vape afterwards and the reo will still work like it just came out of the package.

4. performance - perfomance is a given . vapes like a champ everytime no missfires, everything is finished no half done edges or anything. does what its supposed to do. catches excess juice and reuses it no electronics to worry about dont need to worry that you have to vaseline every little washer nut or bolt etc. it just works and it works well.

really happy i got this mod , this one is definitely for keeps.

Any idea how hard it is to be holding a reo and not having batteries HAHAHAH torture.

Lets see Yes REO arrived Tues was sent the wrong batteries from another supplier I got those on Mon immediately contacted them they admitted they screwed up and would immidiately send out the right ones and asked that I return the wrong ones at my convenience. Friday comes no batteries in da mail allways receive in 1-2 days from this supplier so I figured I better contact them Immediate response saying we are not 100% sure if we sent them but were fully aware that I had spoken to them about the issue and received a shipping notice within an hour that 3 more were sent. Was told if they had sent the original 3 to please keep and if I hadnt returned the wrong ones to also keep those as this was all there error. So I have 3 18650's in my hands and at least 3 14500's on the way maybe 6. Guess I need to by a grand for the 18650's hate to see them go to waste:p

So yes I feel your pain;)

Sounds to me like you have a wonderful reason to order a Grand! It can be your back-up! Always good to have at least one REO as a back-up!

One thing though, wished the button had some kind of top or something or make it twice in size and more rounded than cylindrical. And Im noticing and im not sure if its just me but the first few times I used my reo I think i tend to push the button a bit harder than needed, self corrected and now I stop pushing once I make contact. makes me paranoid when people try and borrow it though

New tops for the button are in the process of being made. Soon you will be able to buy a top that is just what you want!

Shorted my reo , never noticed that the new carto I placed in had a protruding center pin. I only found out that this causes shorts on reos after I ruined mine, lesson learned I guess. Sent a message to rob If i can have a button and spring shipped to the philippines since shipping out the reo and having it shipped back again is not really feasible for me at the moment. If it seems to expensive or will take to long to ship the button and spring Im going to a local machine shop and have them machine something for me I guess.

Sorry to hear about what happened. I'm sure that Rob will take care of you and have the spring and button shipped out in no time. Probably a good idea to ask him how it's all done too. You should also get a multimeter to check out atties, cartos, and there are other uses to them too. They are relatively inexpensive. Like this one for instance:

Hongda DT-95B multimeter voltage meter

Cartos love to kill springs .Every time you put a new carto or atomizer on your mod open the door. Press the button if you notice the button feels funny or any discoloration in the spring stop immediately . I think you will find you will catch it before it kills your spring . Always inspect the bottom of your cartos make sure the center pin is in the center and not protruding
