I just bought my first Reo today..

[misplacedsooner]

im kinda fortunate that i live very close to the post office. the mailmen leave the office shortly after 9 and i have my mail by between 9 45 and 10 am.
that provari better be scared or hope it holds a place in your heart. after i got my mini woodvil and the 18490s came out my provari..... the mod i thought i just had to have became expendable...in fact it was sold to buy my stabilized burl. provari is a very nice mod but i dont like filling cartos and never did get the hang of punching and slotting cartos so i bid it farewell, i enjoyed it but for me theres nothing like a woodvil.

ha thats cool sooner. I love the provari we will see how the grand fairs. If I really like it better I could sell the provari for the new VV woodvil when it comes out.. but I highly doubt it ha..

I'm on pins and needles now! Ha I went to bed at 3 last night, I checked the tracking and it said..

Depart USPS Sort Facility March 14, 2012 SAN ANTONIO, TX 78284

So right now I checked and I was hoping to see my favorite update "out for delivery" but nope ha. Most of the time when it says that it went through the sort facility the night before i get it the next day It still says delivery by march 15th! I hope I don't have to wait till tommorow I'm working a 10 hour shift and won't be home till late :-(

Ok mailman stalking over her she is! I love it!!! Thanks for the tips guys I blind sqounked like a champ. Now i know why Reo's are allways out of stock haha. Anyways quick question, he sent me 4 ultrafire 18650 3000 mah. Are these good? Should I order some aw? If so who has the best price?

on getting a REO!

New REONAUT!

Enjoy in good health!

 

[Della Cirque]

WooHoo!! Congratulations!
Personally I only use the aw imr's. I'm sure one of our resident battery guru's will be along soon.

 

[Butters78]

Thank you guys!! I'm loving It.. so sturdy. Built too last. Lived up to all of the hype just waiting to see if my batts are fine or should I order new ones the ones the Reo site reccomend are..

AW IMR 18650

So I'll probably order from there.

 

[lostknitter]

I also only use the AW IMR batteries, I figure if I am going to spend the $$ on a REO, I will use what Rob recommends.

 

[whatitstrue]

looks great!!!!!! This calls for another banana dance!!!!

As far as the 3000mah. They work but id imagine that there length could over compress the spring not allowing the spring to compress in case of a short. IMO I would get some more appropriate batts as soon as you are able.

 

[Butters78]

Thanks whatistrue!

I went ahead and ordered two batteries from the site the ones recommended

Congratulations on your new "toy"...."tool".....er...."obsession".... LOL. She's a beauty. I've been watching this thread all week just waiting and waiting with you....waiting to hear what you thought. So glad you love it. (Actually I had no doubt, but it's really fun to hear (read) reactions when someone gets his hands on a REO for the first time.) Welcome to the Reoville.

P.S. My Grand looks just like that (red.) My door is silver....couldn't tell what yours is. Love, love, love mine.

 

[Butters78]

Thanks JC! My door is silver too. Yup I'm very happy with the purchase. It's a good solid PV. I have all I need, My Provari and my Reo. Just need to find more juice! Haven't found many I can't live without.

 

[Butters78]

Still can't get over how beautiful it is..

How often do I have to clean the atty BTW? When I use a carto should I condom fill it first or just use the squonking method to fill the whole thing? I'm tempted to try a ressurector on it.

 

[misplacedsooner]

just slap a carto on it and blind squonk it full...no more carto dripping for you.

 

[Butters78]

Sooner I love it! I hated toping them off lol.

 

[lostknitter]

You don't even need to squonk it full, most of mine stay white on the top. I would squonk more than usual to start with a carto, then just squonk as needed.

 

[Butters78]

Thanks for the tip topcat!

I'm having alot of fun. I read on here you can drip into the catch cup when you are bored with your bottle flavor i just tried it it works like a charm I'm impressed!

 

[misplacedsooner]

learn something new everyday... i think i remember seeing that but i havent tried it yet.
