Help. Why the REO?

[FRSguy]

For me and I own both Reo's/Odin's and Sigelei/Lemo everything about the Reo is easier, need to refill slide the door off, unscrew bottle, fill, replace and I am ready to go. With the Sigelei/Lemo I have to take the Lemo off, unscrew the bottom, get a screwdriver, take out the fill screw, fill it, replace the fill screw, screw the bottom back on, and then back on the Sigelei. Same process if you want to adjust the airflow as well.

While the fill screw wasn't a huge deal being right next to the side of the tank sometimes it was a pain to get back in on the first try. In the time it took me to fill the Lemo I could fill at least two of my Reo's maybe all three. And of course no dripping if were talking an RDA, or having to carry bottles of juice around that may leak.

At this point the only thing that could get me to try another tank is if I could get an Erlkonigin for a good price since they have the top fill option with no tools required. I may not have the ability to adjust my wattage but since I have found the sweet spot I like to vape on a Reo there is no need too. The only downside is if I am going to be gone all day +8 hours I need to carry a battery but that's not a big deal for me.

And I don't have to have a pair of married batteries that I need to remember which one I had in which position every time I take them out to charge them. Everything about the Reo in my situation is easier and at this point in my vape journey that is what I was looking for. Not to mention it's built like a tank I can drop it a hundred times and still get the vape off of it that I got before the first drop, I wouldn't think the Sigelei would get dropped more than a few times before something went wrong. And I am not in the habit of abusing my mods but when you're out and about things happen.

Excellent info THANKS!

I've had 2 REOs. While I liked the idea at first, there's just something about regulated box mods that I like. I like electronics in my devices

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but lose the screw and use one of the silicone plugs from the spare parts bag that came with your Lemo. Looks like a silicone ring with bumps on it. The largest bump goes into the fill port (make sure to push it all the way in and settle the whole ring down under the threading) and the bottom piece (with the 510 connection) holds it in place. Instant tool-less filling, no leaks. It's not going to be as fast as changing the bottle in the Reo, but it's a lot easier to deal with than the screw.

Ah!!!
I was wondering what that funny shaped thing was !

I have had my REO since August. I've not used anything other than it since getting it....I use the RM2 and RM3....they are super easy to build on. In fact, I am saving my $$ for REO #2. My current REO is the only device I own right now.....I have no backup...zilch....that is how much I trust my REO I use the readyXwick and when I need to change out liquid, I do a dry burn and continue on. By the way this is an interesting thread over in REOville. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/622458-glad-i-dont-have-all-these-problems.html

Thanks for the link and the info! One thing I have noticed about REO owners is that they tend to purchase more than one REO so given the choice they are totally sold and die hard fans of it. The only other mod I know of that gets this attention and loving is the Provari but hey ya know the wattage is so low for the price that got taken off my plate a long time ago.

All day juice supply - all day battery life - incredibly durable - always reliable - user serviceable - colors, finishes, sizes, styles to fit just about anyone.

You can put anything you want on top (it is indeed a 510 connection so you could even use a tank if you wanted to) but to use the juice supply, you need a bottom fed attomizer. There are many rebuildables out there set up for bottom feed plus REO has a handful on his site. The RM2 is probably the most popular because of its ease of build and notable flavor reproduction.I personally use two Remoizer 2s (RM2s) and one Reomizer 3 dual coil.

My oldest REO turned 3 years old last month. It has never once failed to make vapor when I pushed the button. It has never once malfunctioned. It has never once failed me in any way at all. It has always worked exactly as expected. My second oldest is a VV Woodville I just had converted from VV to 3.7v 'mechanical'. It was in my shirt pocket with me every single day everywhere I went for over two years. There's a lot to like about Woodvilles (too much to type here)... and there is a new Woodville run coming soon. My third REO is an SL Grand... my next one will be an SL LP Grand.

One of the big selling points of the mechanical REOs vs any regulated mod is the simple fact there's no chip to kill. These days, we have so much control over every aspect of how our attys perform - from wick to ohms to coil style to airflow to *everything* - that regulation has lost at least a little bit of its appeal to a lot of folks. - When VV came along a few years back, I was a little late to fully adopt it because I had already done a good job matching the attys and cartos I used to the batteries I liked. But when I did get in to regulated mods, I jumped in with both feet. -- I was then a little late to adopt rebuildable attys. Once I did, I was back to matching the atty to the batts I like, but with way more control and no more duds (back when, I could buy a few boxes of cartos or a dozen attys and count on the fact some of them would be duds - wouldn't work or were no where near advertized ohms - or manufacturer forgot the wick - or any one of a hundred other problems... no more of that when I'm the one building).

I hope some of that helps.

Thanks this is a big help. I currently use an Evic with Aspire tanks so yeah I know what you mean by failures as my Evic has problems and always has since day 1 and although I love the Aspire tanks unfortunately they do sometimes have bad replacement coils which is something I do put up with and believe it or not the price of the coils is starting to get to me especially since I am averaging about one failed coil per pack so its more like a pack of 4 instead of a pack of 5 especially at
about $15 a pack from my B & M

Guilty as charged, I have three and am waiting for February and the release of the Woodvil's for number 4.

That is a easy question. I was very happy with vaping and then someone very special gave me the opportunity to try a reo. And that is when it happened. Love at first toot. They are just simply that good. Well built construction. I mean the reo is even indestructible for someone like me. So simple to use. I fell in love with dripping because the juice is significantly tastier. With the juice bottle just there waiting for you, it makes it the ultimate dripper. Always fresh juice. If it gets dirty, heck just wash it in the kitchen sink and you are good to go. Dependability? They have never let me down and I don't imagine they ever will. And Rob

, the man that makes the love happen, has taken customer service to a level that cannot be touched. And the #1 reason to buy a reo would be the people. I am very proud to be a part of the reo family and they are second to none. The most caring and fun loving people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. So basically what I am saying is that using the reo is like. . .

VAPING LOVE IN ITS PUREST FORM​

I'm rather tired right now, so I wasn't fully able to convey my love for the reo. Sorry.

Fantastic post! Thanks!

but when I'm not tired. . . I can be downright adorable.

JK but it's just so easy to share what you believe and what makes you feel good.

 

[novamatt]

Good tip! Didn't know that, I have shelved my Lemo in preperation of it's trip to the classies though.

That's a shame. I've shelved everything else.

What is the (related) story with "pDib" or "pDibby" Reos? I've found some elusive references to his devices, including some guy from Scotland on YouTube that I couldn't understand. Lol! Does he make something similar to a Reo or is it a modified Reo, or what?

I've got an interest in a Reo or something similar but I've been holding off to learn more and to see what's what with the Woodville. But I'd sure like to learn about the pDibs thing as it relates to Reos - while we're on the subject.

Can someone post a link to the Reo sub-forum, for those interested in learning more?

OP: Great thread!! Thanks for posting it!

I do not currently have a Reo as I gave it away to someone I thought it might help.
But if the Vapocalypse happens, I'll be buying a few Mini Reos with RM2 atomizers, or whatever is the best choice at that time.

Granted, reo's main draw would be no actual dripping. That's a big selling point, no doubt. Building coils for certain loads does get well kinda old...that's the bueaty of regulated! Build a, say.3-.5 coil (depend on regulated device) and you can rock ubers of v/w levels....essentially the regulated device is a plethora of coils compared to a mech.

If it was two years ago I would say go ahead and get a Reo. Fast forward to today and(imo) go get a box mod that does at least 50w, so you can rock tanks to drippers!

So basically, if your goal as a vaper is to "rock" something, then maybe the Reo is not for you?

But if your goal as a vaper is to have a consistent and satisfying vape, then maybe you should consider a Reo.
I guess it just depends on, well, I don't know.

I guess I'm just not the kind of person that wants to "rock" my vape.

You got it, it's a Reo type bottom fed device made by pdib. He also makes some nice atties as well called the Nuppin and Sumpin, I don't have one but this is what I have gathered over in the Reo sub forum. And the Woodvil's are scheduled for a release for this February and they sell out pretty fast so if you're interested in one hang around the sub forum Reos Mods to get the date and get ready for the melee.

 

[Rule62]

I'd been collecting tune mods for about 3 years, before I finally succumbed and got my first Reo. I now have 3, and haven't used any of my other mods since. Reds are simple, nearly indestructible, and consistent.

To be fair, it's hard to "rock" a cartomizer on a Janty stick though DC

Kinda hard to get a consistent vape off a mech...

I have never used any cartomizer for more than 30 minutes.
And I never had a Janty stick.

It's kinda hard not to.

 

[Jjshbetz11]

Well considering battery drain, consistency is short lived with a mech
