I finally convinced my lady to convert to REOism!!
I've been vaping for 2 1/2 years now and last 1 1/2 years with exclusively REOs and never looked back. I told her I don't even miss analogs since I got my REO! I could not get her to give up her stinkies and go ecig. She would not give them up no matter how many time I had her try mine. Well 4 weeks ago she finally committed after doing some math and realizing she is spending $250.00 a month on cigs that could be spent better ways ( like funding her shoe and hat collection) and switched to ecigs and has been making a gallant effort. She wanted "style" and "fashion" in her ecigs rather than function. We ended up getting her some designer EGO type batteries with Clearo type dilivery system. After 4 weeks of fiddling with it, gurgling clearos,dry hits, constant rotation of charging those little 3.2v ego batteries and not feeling fullfilled i FINALLY sold her on getting a REO. She wasn't really convinced as she thought even the metal mini was too clunky, heavy, and infeminine. After showing her pictures of the mini in "feminine" colors. After seeing how easy peasy the REO is for me she finally gave in to function over form mentality.
So... I pulled the trigger and ordered her a mini! Purple w/black wrinkle door and a REOmizer2 to go with it. I got the email from Rob today that it has been shipped! I will build her attys as to not overwhelm her at first. Baby steps, art of squonking etc.
I'll post a pic of her new toy when we get it and let you all know how she is doing with it. A new REOnaut is being born!!

That is fantastic!

You had Robert make sure the RM2 fit? It has to be milled down a little on the tiny Mini 14500.

Your wife will be blown away at just how small and light the Mini really feels in hand. Just like holding a bic lighter.

Can't wait to see the pics!

Thanks for the well wishes!
Yes, I put a note to Robert to please mill the Rm2 to fit. I hope he saw it. :)
Will be stalking the mailman now.

HAHA way to go Rudy! :D

My gf finally admitted last night that my enthusiasm for my Grand and blatant disregard for all of my previously beloved hardware has convinced her to graduate from her collection of eGo whatnots and join us in REOville :)

Great news! Way to go as well!
Now, what to do with boxes full of "whatnots". Ego batteries, Ego twists, cones,clearos, kanger cartridges, chargers, adapters, cartomizers etc! :confused: Should just put it all in a box and put the whole box in the classys!

My fiancee has been stuck on her egos just because of the size since we started vaping. Won't give any other devices a shot cause they are "to crazy looking" lol. Maybe when I get my reo she will have a change of heart.

If she doesn't convert let me know, I have PLENTY of Ego stuff that will no longer be needed! Actually my lady got a couple of fancy "designer" ego batteries that are quite nice ( for egos).They are wrapped with a designer pattern. One is a circle pattern very similar to the post Rob put up showing his REO door engraving experiment, and the other a art deco type purple/gold wrap.
Gonna try and sell in the classys.

Please to have respective wives and girlfriends talk to my wife. She's not getting it. . . . . . .

although it would probably help if I let her borrow REO #1 for a few days, like I said I would . . . . . BUT I HAVE USES FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I did. After hearing a zillion times " honey will you fix this" I finally told her to put those stupid little things away and try mine. I let her use my metal mini while I took the risk of taking my mini woodvil out of the safe confines of home to work the past couple of days. She got a little intimidated by the whole "squonking" technique. I gave her a few tips and told her there was a learning curve and to not get frustrated. She did say that the vape was smoother and better flavor than her kanger cartos and liked it that she did not deal with leakage, gurgling, blowing out the Kanger after flooding etc. So my suggestion is pry your REO out of your hand and let her try it, she might like it! :)

Rudy, I understand all about trying to convert the other half. Your story and mine are very similar! My husband finally relented a couple weeks ago after I'd been happily using REOs for well over a year. I even had to post a thread about it, too! :D

Some folks just take longer to convert, but they'll come around eventually. :)

Just read your thread! I see you have a purple & black reo as well. Great taste, that's what I ordered for my lady. :)
I think it's easier to convert a man from tube mods to a REO than a woman. All you have to tell a man to convert is to say he looks like he has a dildo in his mouth!!! :)
