I just received my beautiful new little LR Reo Mini and think I ordered the wrong RM. I didn't get the LR RM, mine has that extra brass piece sticking out the bottom. Could someone explain to me what I need to exchange this for...I'm now seeing that an LR model is offered. But which one should I get (2, 3, 4, 5 model) ? I'm pretty sure I won't be rebuilding anything under 1.0 Ohms. Can someone please help me?

Just FYI, that brass showing at the bottom isn't an extra piece, it's where Robert has carved off some of the outer part to allow it to fit down inside the "standard" catch cup. If you have an LP REO, you don't need it that way, but it will still work.

I have an RM4, but it's really designed for dual coils, and straight to the lung hits, I prefer the RM2. Don't know alot about the RM3, sorry.

Thanks to all of you for your speedy replies! Rob, I'll send this one back for the exchange. My sweet-spot seems to be 1.8 Ohms so will the LP RM2 be best for that? I'm not interested in sub-ohming or at least going anywhere under 1.0 Ohms.

ancient...thanks for the info on the RM4. Anybody know how the RM3 and RM5 are different from the RM2?

Rob, I'll send this atty back ASAP along with a note. Thank you! :)

This picture should help you to decide which you did get!



From the left, first two are LP, last is regular (milled) RM2.

super_x_drifter says: LPs are on the left and those only fit LP mods. The regular is on the right and it should be used with regular mods however, it will fit an LP mod but the visible milling will be quite doofy looking on an LP mod.


Filthy-Beast shows us: doofy on the left

That's really nice of you folks to let Rob peek in here now and then! :) And I will expect him to do nothing this weekend but wait anxiously for my goofy little RM2 to arrive for the exchange. HA HA

Thanks for the pictures...yep, the one on the far right of the 1st pic and left on the 2nd pic is what I got. I was hoping I could just unscrew that brass part. Wishful thinking my mother would have said. But, I just filled my little bottle with some strong Blood Orange juice and put a Sofia on top, and it's working just wonderfully. Next bottle is getting Hazelnut! I also have a few 306 LR attys that I can use until Rob jets that new atty back to me.

Thanks, everybody, for helping me. I'll take some pictures later and post them here. After all, I have the prettiest Reo of all! :)

I got myself an LP grand just to try out the RM4, luckily, I ordered an LP RM2 "just in case". Having given up mostly on the RM4, I'm running a 1.87 ohm coil on the LP now and it's right in my "sweet spot" (but I run about 1.6-1.9 on everything LOL). So yes ma'am, the LP REO with an LP RM2 should do you up nicely if you're a 1.8 ohm kinda gal.

I've been vaping this sweet little Reo since I got it 4 hours ago and it's everything it's cracked up to be. All of you have been spot-on about the Reo! Just the looks of it alone is worth the purchase, then the vape just takes it over the top.

Does there happen to be a Reo-anonymous group around here any place? I think I'm prolly going to need one. :facepalm:

I've been vaping around 1.8 ohms for about 7 months on my Reo's. I've tried many different atties from Reosmods and elsewhere. My current favorite is the RM3 single coil, very closely followed by either the RM2 or the Igo-bf. They all produce great flavor and vapor. In fact sometimes its difficult to tell which would be best, it often gets down to preferences for physical details like appearance, o-ring cap vs threaded cap, small area for coil build vs larger area for coil build, total height of the atty plus drip tip (Igo-bf is shortest) or if you like to put the mod in your pocket then go play touch footy the Igo-bf has the least stable cap etc. The Igo-bf is fussy about coil height, you need the coil down low right on the air hole, it is also the most likely to leak juice from the air hole if you over-squonk. It produces a slightly sweeter flavor and is the most compact. The RM2 and RM3 are pretty well leak free and robust, with my biased opinion giving the edge to the RM3.

With the RM3 and its screw-on cap, the air hole ends up in a fixed position, so when you fit a new coil, you have to mount the coil so it is centered on where the air hole will be when you screw the cap on. With the RM2, the cap can be turned to make the air hole center on the new coil. But the screw-on cap is an advantage when you just want to rewick, you can screw the cap back on and you know its going to be in the right place. All minor details...

I hope thats not too much info :unsure: there's not a lot of people vaping 1.8 ohm coils on RDA's so thought I would share my opinion. I find around 1.8 ohms to 2 ohms with 30 gauge wire to work well, 8/9 wraps on a 1/16" drill bit or rod.

Ian...that's great info on all the reomizers. I think I'd like the RM2 and 3 the best. I've got to get this non-LP RM2 back to Rob and just might order the RM3 and he can just put it all together in the same package, no extra shipping charges for either of us. Thanks for all that good info and just keep it coming! :)
