Hi Who-dat,

I understand your disappointment. Don't give up, there will be more released very soon, and there was a black/black listed in the classified earlier - it might still be there.

I can tell you that I am so glad I didn't give up - I had my ear to the ground for about two months for the first one I bought, a silver/black mini -- or I wouldn't have known how satisfying vaping could be with a PV that doesn't require a lot of fuss.

You know what they say -- better late than never. I hope you will hang in there :)

Been waiting for weeks for this, but had a flight for work. Well, a couple hours in the air, and they came and sold out. Sorry, but a can't make my life evolve around ordering a PV.

Done messing with this, until u can just order or pre-order one. This is just plain stupid.

There's a reason they sell so quickly. Keep an eye on the classifieds and Rob's site. Your frustration is totally justified but it's not a lost cause.

I waited the better part of last December for a sale and there were a lot less than 90 posted with 200 more to be offered during the following week. This most recent sale probably knocked out a big chunk of the current demand that had accumulated.

I remember a thread started by a poster that ripped on Rob's method of selling his mods. There was a Grand available on the site at the very same time he was busying claiming it was too hard to get one.

I had been waiting so long for a Grand. He was going to put them up for sale a month ago, at the time I had an opportunity to buy a mini, but he was supposed to have the Grand's up a week later, so I waited. Then he had a problem with the machine shop, and he couldn't put them up. I actually passed up REO woodville's twice, the mini's once, and several used ones. I ended up buying a very cheap bottom feeder made of plastic, and I got what I payed for, so two weeks after I got the plastic one I am very happy to sit around waiting to buy one. My whole Friday was based on this sale this evening. All I know is that it is worth anything for me not to smoke ever again. I was smoking about 5 packs a day when I quit, I am now vaping about 10ml a day, and it gets so frustrating trying to keep things filled up with juice. I'm lucky that I got one, but then again he still has 200 more to put out for sale, so he might let us know when he is going to put them back on the site, otherwise just check back with the site on and off. It is totally worth doing everything you can to get a REO. Good luck though.

I am new to vaping and feel the same frustration you do! All though I got a grand earlier tonight. I do find it frustrating that everything that seems to be worth buying in the vaping world is always out of stock. From the famed mods to Map tanks etc. You can actually go to sites where there is nothing to buy because its all out of stock, i.e. clouds of vapor.....They have all the goodies but nothing there. I'm not sure I understand the the vaping market but I was tough about supply and demand and how one wants to keep up with that. However i guess like in the case of the reo line a lot of care and effort gets put into to making a superior product. So it probably takes a while to get the finished product. Anyways in short I totally feel you. Tonight I sat at the computer butterflies in my stomach frantically hitting the refresh button. Then I got the one I wanted and checked out only to find as I paid for it that someone else had grabbed it so I rushed to grab my second choice which I got!!

Congrats! Yeah, the good products are all mostly one person businesses. There is more demand than supply. Rob personally touches every REO and stands behind each one. I bet in a few years, this will be "the golden age" of mods.

Please don't give up. You can always Pm Robert and ask him to hold you one out of the next sale. He has been known to do that if you cannot be available the nights of the sale. He is very accomodating that way. And, i promise you...there is no other vaping mod out there than stands up to these mods.

Completely understandable....but this industry is blooming and has a lot of growth ahead of it. In Rob's defense, he's doing everything he can to up his production, keep the prices reasonable, and keep the quality high. His business is going through the typical growing pains. At one point in time he was putting out sales once every two months....now he putting out hundreds of mods a month. When the supply chain is working right, he can put out more than 400 mods a month! That's an amazing number for a one man show with part time help. There was a time where he was selling from a thread via email because we crashed his website during a sale. I'm sorry you didn't get one...but there will be more next week. He has 200 more to assemble and post. I hope you try again someday....these really are worth it. :)

I've got 4 Reos, but I'm still mad i couldn't get a purple/purple grand yesterday.
I guess saving lives & feeding the kids comes first.
I tried to make a trade on PIF yesterday, & the guy wouldn't do it, because he wanted someone "who couldn't afford one, and didn't have one " to have it.

Its total bs. I guess i should be happy with my mini,grand,& 2 woodviles.

Such bs. I want purple/purple NOW!

LOL, when the guy listed the purple/purple Grand last night, I *looked* for you, but you were off line. There will be a purple/purple in your future, it will find you :)

From the update thread:

I am shooting for next Friday 4/22/11 7pm for another grand sale.I had 200 grands that had to be sent back to the anodizers. If all goes well I will have another 100 mods on Friday.Make sure you fill in your email on my site in the notify me section I will be listing some grands throughout the week .

I am picking parts for 400 mini mods on Monday They have to be tumbled and anodized. The 28th 29th is my best guess when they will be ready
