I've been exclusively dripping for a month and really really don't mind carrying a juice bottle and dripping when it's needed, I use the bottles with needle tips so it's really easy to drip anywhere...
Will I get a better vaping experience with the REO than from a mech mod and a good rda besides the not having to drip..
I would love to be a citizen of reoville but I just can't justify the cost/benefit

So help me take the plunge

Imagine being a couch potato watching TV or something on a lazy Saturday morning. You hit a couple of vapes from your PV and exhale some times before your friend lets you know it's time to be fed again. You reluctantly sit up to engage in your standard dripping technique. Maybe you sit up, grab your bottle, pop off the drip tip, and drop some juice onto the coil. All the while, the season finale of the show you are watching just revealed a critical plot detail that you have been anticipating for too long. You are now broken and a shell of your former self.

Imagine the same scenario with a Reos mod. Your eyes are fixed on the TV, obscured momentarily by intermittent clouds, until your best friend lets you know it is thirsty. You give the bottle of your favorite ADV housed within the Reos one 'squonk' and familiar pillows once again form. While this is happening, you haven't missed a beat as you finally learn of the true motives behind the killer's actions. It takes you 5 minutes to recover from the afterglow of the epic conclusion of a 7 season run before you realize that you did this all with one hand, that the drip tip has not left your mouth in 3 hours, and you can't feel your other hand because it has been in your favorite pocket this entire time.

Hi Vapero - Also consider the form factor of the Reo Grand - if really is a great hand and pocket fit and stable on a table or similar. Made from a solid block of alu, so almost indestructible and can be washed. And you get to choose from a wide variety of colours or colour combinations! The Reomizer 2 was made for the Reo and is a great and very forgiving little RBA. Take the plunge, it is more than worth it!

Vapero, it's about time you dipped In over here :)

You will not only love everything REO about the REO - durability, pocketability, fresh squeezed juice on demand - you will love how simple the RBA is to build and attain a world class vape.

Any serious micro cooler needs at least 2 REO grands.

Good luck with your decision. :)

Let's say you're watching that critical moment in the TV show and you can't remember if you just dripped. Your choice is now to possibly take a dry hit to find out or flood the atty with too much juice. With a REO, you just squonk again. Any excess juice is sucked back down. No flooding.

Using a REO is also orders of magnitude safer than dripping while driving.

The one factor that has been left out (so far) is that of out of the house dripping. I personally take long trips in a car. I find it next to impossible to continue to drip and drive, not to mention the safety considerations. With a Reo, you can refresh your dripper one handed as you drive down the road, without taking your attention off of driving.

I think everyone has done a stellar job here so not much to add.

Except maybe the no mess angle. No more missed drops, no more chance of sucking juice if you use the drip tip as a drip tip. No leaking, even if it accidentally gets upside down in your (purse, pocket, etc). No rolling off the table (if you are used to tube mods) so you don't have to worry about how you put it down.

There's one sure way to find out... buy a REO Grand with a Reomizer 2.0 RDA. There's a 99+% chance you'll think you need a second for backup in the event of loss or theft--it'll probably be something you never want to take the chance of being without again. If not, you can sell it in the Classifieds for almost what you paid for it.

If you are fine with carrying the bottle around then I don't think you really need the Reo.

I got my Reo grand because i needed an all in one package that would give me the dripping experience without the hassle.

I still drip on my tube mods, but my Reo Grand is always close by, if not in my hand or pocket.

It's the first mod I look for in the morning and it's the last mod I put down at night.

It's best when going out, I know that when I have my reo in hand, I don't need anything else.

I've been dripping for a year using a VV/VW devices and did not have a problem carrying a bottle and dripping, it had just become second nature. However I was very hard on devices and they would only last me a few months before I broke them. I went looking for something tougher and landed on the REO, after a long internal battle I decided to give up the VV/VW and give a regular REO Grand plus RM2 a try. I was hoping that I would get close to the vap I had before and would not think what a waste of money.

All I can say is Wow, what a difference. So much better flavor with a big smooth hit. I think the difference is even bigger than the change from cartos to dripping. The Remomizer 2 is the perfect RBA for the Reo and you should get them together.

Keep dripping, save some money, buy a Reo + RM2. You will agree it's money well spent. I like it so much I've order a 2nd as the backup and will be giving all my other devices away.

thanks for all your responses! the only issue I have with my current setups are leakage, I can't put my mods in my pocket as they tend to move a lot and leak, i have developed a OCD quirk that every few seconds i get my hands in my pocket just to make sure that the airhole is pointing upwards. or just have my mod in hand the whole time

I've had no issues with flooding or leaking.
