hey guys, well I'm officially a reonut I guess, I really was not so thrilled with the square box look which is what has kept me away for so long, but after experiencing the awesome vapes of a sub ohm micro coil on a bottom feeding squonker I just can't resist any longer :oops:. I'm at the point now where I don't even care what it looks like any more atm, I want the vape and the reliability that it seems so far only the reo can really deliver right out of the box, I've played with other bottom feeders which have shown me the light as far as what I'm missing here so I just said screw it and bought a reo, hopefully I may have it by the end of the week.

I do intend on building my own bottom feeder eventually, something I may find more visually appealing to me and something a bit more left hand friendly and less boxy, but until then I just want what the reo is, who knows,. maybe after actually having my reo I may not even care anymore even about the looks, guess it's only fair to have one to really judge it in my hands, so reoville here I come, it's been a long hard journey of frustration with less than stellar performance, but thankfully I have finally arrived :D

And arrive you have baby!! I just think now how I was lured away from all the VV/VW stuff out there over a year ago with the simple juice feeding system of the REO and now mech's are all the rage. What was once just a decision for reliability over techno fashion, has become fashionable. Frustration goodbye, Excitement returns. The vape is strong with this one.

Congrats. Just wanted to let you know that the REO is just as handy for lefties as righties. I'm ambidextrous, for many things, but most usually write with right hand, and do a lot of other things with right hand, so it has the muscle memory, and strength, to do things better but I vape mostly using my left hand, primarily to have right hand handy. I've never heard any lefty say anything about REO being for righties. So hope you find your decision a good one as do the majority of REO purchasers. And welcome. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Loads of very friendly, helpful peeps here around the clock.

{edit} Also, just as many peeps find using index finger on button most comfortable as do those who use thumb. It works just as great either way. I have arthritic thumbs so index finger it is for me.

Congrats! I hope it is all you want it to be so you don't have to fuss over making one yourself :lol:

It's funny, but now I really don't like the form of the tube mods at all. And I have some nice ones too. I am able to admire some of the nice ones coming out these days, but for vaping they are just too finicky. All they are good for is building a coil for my REO :rolleyes:

Its left and right hand friendly especially if you use your index finger to fire.. And it doesn't roll away. But it can't overcome gravity however even if it hit the floor it still vapes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Congratulations!

Welcome turbo, I don't usually venture out of the REOlounge much so ya caught me on a good day. I just celebrated my first year smoke-free yesterday but, like you, didn't dive into Bottom Juice Feeding Box mods 'til a few months ago. So I feel the real time to celebrate will be when I've clocked in 1-yr on my VVG, na'mean?

Props for thinking of making your own. But may I suggest before you do, try to improve on an already great Mod by contributing your ideas to Robert, the supreme ma boss, first.

That's one of the things you get with Reos, it's been around the block and browsing through this sub-forum you're gonna find a lot of tweeks and add-on's that'll improve on an already great product. And drop by the lounge from time to time. Good people.

Stay strong & Vape on, my dude.

Welcome turbo You may find the Reo works lefty to I am somewhat ambidextrous and find I use it lefty most of the time even tho I am right handed :)

I think you made the right decision to go with your overall feeling and not dwell on the shape.

There is a Reonaut that recently got a Grand and didn't like it at all at first. But he kept trying it and it did not take long for him to love it! So much in fact that he already has his second.

I was not fond of the shape. But the durability and ease of use made me make my first purchase. Once in hand it didn't feel bad at all. I hold it with my fingers. Never palm it.

You will find your way to make it comfortable. And you will also find it the best little beast out there!

I think you may be pleasantly surprised with the looks as well as the performance. The Reo really looks much better in person than any picture can describe.

This. I wasn't a fan of the look of the Reo at first, but then I saw some pictures in different lighting and decided to give it a shot. They do look even better in person, and I love the way they look now.

Welcome Turbo!

I too was not a fan of the looks at first. I tried one of my buddy's and it felt good along with the killer battery and juice capacity it offers I decided to jump. It grows on you and while your friends keep picking up their tubes off the floor after rolling off the table it'll grow on you even faster.

I bought the REO first then the tubes because I wanted to try gennys, they were such a pain in the ... I got rid of them and bought another REO. I hope you have the same experience!

Again welcome to Reoville there's a lot of great people here.
