I became a Reonaut in Feb. For me it was common sense that influenced me more than anything. I got exposed to REOs though ECF of course but after trying a Kayfun/mech combo for a while I realized that I hate RTAs a lot (cuz I don't like having to pour out eliquid to adjust things). So at that point the REO was just the most obvious choice.
I have noticed that since Phil did his review he has been using his REO in several of the reviews that followed the REO one. I watched one last night where he moved to something else, but the ones prior to that one he was still using the REO as his regular mod. So even though the review itself might not have influenced a lot of people, the fact that he has continued to use it & talk about it long after he did the review might be something people are noticing.
