How long did you have your Rev 2. After 2 1/2 months the button was going out on my both wife's and mine.

I don't know for sure but I would guess 2-3 months. Great, now I have something to look forward to. I don't use it full time though because I have so many other PVs. I rotate around all the time.

I took the plunge and tried the hybrid BF atty on my Reo and it didn't short and the flavor is good but the vapor is about half what I got on the Rev 2. I can live with this though. It's curious though how a cheaper BF mod can produce more vapor with the same atty and the same juice than the Reo Grand both at 3.7v. I must have to do with the batteries. The Rev 2 has built in batteries but I think the mah is around 1400 and the 18560 is 1600mah. Anybody care to speculate on that?

Shouldn't be happening. It is probably either the batteries/charger, they should be coming off the charger about 4.20v, or different squonking technique, and you are flooding the atty. It is also possible that you are not getting a good solid circuit, either the adapter is not connecting well or your firing pin may need to be cleaned.

Being a newbie with Reos, I haven't quite got the hang of squonking so I think that might be the problem because I'm flooding the atty a lot. It's working much better now that I'm not flooding the atty as much. I'm very nervous about over tightening the atty so I'm only tightening until it makes contact and then a tad more. So far so good.

Terry, have you tried a blind squonk yet? Just lightly press on the bottle while taking a dry hit. Once you hear a gurgle then stop immediately, then vape away. Pm'd you about a thread that you should take a look at. Which was on here regarding the hybrids and the problems that presented to REO's.

Like I said, let me know how you like the Cisco's when you get them. Also, the "resurrector" as well.

That's alright, everybody has a method that works best for them. I guess the weight of a aluminum mod can be a little heavy for some. There is good number of people here that prefer to use the mini or the wooden REO's since it's lighter in weight.

I think it's the huge battery that's making it so heavy. Wood? I don't want to hear about wood Reos/mods. I want one so bad but it will never happen. Too expensive. :(
