Yes, Reos are fully repairable. Rob sells all the parts, or he will do it for you for minimal cost.
If your regulated device dies past the warranty, its on you to try to repair. And more costly.

Everything that needs to be covered has been mentioned here already, but I'll throw in my two cents anyway. When I first started vaping, I pretty quickly became obsessed with finding the perfect vape. If I took the time to add up the money I spent on hardware, I'd probably be sick. For the first few months, all I did was buy new things to vape with. Some of the devices I bought were good set ups, but I'd see the new latest and greatest and automatically think, " Could this one be better?" And then I'd buy it. It got ridiculous. Well once I found the Reo, of course I had to have that too. The only things I've bought since buying my first Reo, is attys for it, and more Reos. I now have three, two grands and a mini, with 6 or 7 toppers, and all I need is a woodvil and I'm done. No one can argue that for best flavor you need a dripper. With the Reo you have that but you don't have none of the hassle of having to add juice every few hits. They look great.....You can have any dripper modified to fit a Reo, giving you plenty of versatility, and when it comes to dependability, they just can't be beat. They are built with simplicity and they just don't tear up. There's nothing that can go wrong with a Reo that can't be fixed for less than a premium bottle of juice. Most of which you can do yourself. The only thing that ever needs replacing is batteries, and hell they're good for atleast a year and cost less then 10.00 for new ones. I've had some good regulated devices, but once they die, they're dead and it's time to fork out more cash for a new one. I could have a Reo for years, and it still work like it did on day one. Not to mention I could sell it for almost as much as I paid for it. That's dependable.
Everything has already been covered, but would like to add, that with a reo, there is no need to put extraneous cotton in your atty to hold more juice, fresh juice is just a squeeze away, you actually get better performance with your dripper with less cotton.
If there was a high power regulated bottom feeder out there that had the quality, the durability and the support that Reo has, I would probably go that route for my main vape. Not for the higher consistency of the vape, but for the ability to change the power at will. The Reo's vape as I have it set up is consistent enough for my needs running 18650 batteries.
But it has to be a bottom feeder and to my knowledge there are no others in its class. The ability to manually wet the wicks for every drag if I want, to actually chose how wet the wicks are and have the excess go back into the tank is superb for my vape style. It pretty much eliminates any desire I might have for temperature protection because it's probably a waste in this system.
Having said that, it's not for everyone and people should do the research and decide for themselves if it's right for them.

You can use one with a kick. You'll have to sand off the coating inside the battery box on some REO's.
I've seen a couple of posts around in the REO forum where people have kicked their REOs with minor adjustments.
Or just find a REO Grand VV...
i'm getting 92W from my Reo. I bought it in 2012 and it has survived numerous trips to concrete with few repairs. It's a vape i like and easy - i don't have time at work to fart about with gurgling tanks and intermittent firing. I get half a day from a battery, but i run very low coils.
If you don't know what kind of vape you like or cannot build consistent coils, then it's not for you - get something you can adjust the power on. But if you do, then you'll not just buy one and kick (no pun) yourself if you don't.

I have seen a few mods that will allow it to work with a kick - the simplest is cutting a pencil eraser to shape.
It is not shipped to work with one, because it is not a tube!
The sanding part also depends on which Reo you get, my coated ones would need that to allow the kick to make contact with metal - my TRA raw one would require nothing more than holding the kick in place.

I have a variety of PV's FRS..but the Reos Mods PV is my favorite mech mod that is dam near indestructible and a variety of toppers from the Nuppin to the Reomizers Rob sells on his site. You can put any build on those that you can any other RDA, but dripping upside down must be experienced to be appreciated.
Not much more to say about it considering I have a 100watt PV that I play with that has way more power than I will ever use. My LP Grand is fine with my favorite flavor build. 26ga 8 wraps single coil in the Atomic RDA modified to BF. You can modify any fave RDA for Reos.

I've kicked a couple of reos - one black wrinkle that needed sanding of the finish and one TRA that didn't. The sanding, if needed, takes but a minute and is required for the grounding (spring on V1, poles on V2).
It's really only viable with a grand as it means downsizing the battery to make room, so with a grand that means using a 18490/500. The mounting hack is needed to stabilize it atop the battery, and cutting an eraser to fit takes all of 2 minutes and will work forever. If you can build a coil, you can do this.
I used a kick only briefly, however, as battery management and building to suit tastes became second nature in, like, a week.

None of the REO's happen to be tubes, but maybe rob will make one with a tube part where the battery goes, or some other arrangement which would allow for a regular STANDARD size kick.
One compromise might be you'd have to use an 18500 battery, and the kick goes ontop of the batt inside a short 15mm metal tube
i need the capacity of 18650 batteries and their ability to cope with my coils, which oddly enough, is why i bought a grand in the first place!
The premise of 'let me buy a mechanical mod and then make it regulated' holds no appeal to me.

You've got it wrong.
This isn't about buying a mechanical mod.
This is about buying a REO.
Some people - the OP in particular - are interested in getting a REO.
Many of these people are not particularly interested in a mechanical mod.
Hence, the option to just add a regular kick module initially makes it a more viable option.
There was once a Reo named VV Grand..that the sheeples didn't understand..So Rob tossed it, and then he bosses it..and made the low ohm LP Grand.
