Bah, now I have to go look at the Reo....
You can't go wrong with a readily-available aluminum REO in terms of functionality, and one of the nice things is that they can put together a complete, ready-to-vape package, including a bottom-fed rba. However as someone who knows you, I might speculate that you'd prefer one made of wood due to its unique character. REO does occasionally make a batch of their "Woodville" models, but when they do, they sell out very fast. An often overlooked maker is Red Sky mods. There's yet another longish thread here and website here. Capt' Brian's mods tend to be more available than any other wooden squonker. It doesn't look like he has any in stock right this moment, but I know he's working on a batch of "cDNA 30" Cutlass models, and his unregulated Cruisers are an amazing value. If those appeal to you, you might want to watch his site or subscribe to his thread.

The REO has one HUGE drawback that keeps me from buying one.

I change flavors daily, sometimes more than once a day, and changing flavors on a REO is NOT easy. Love the concept and design, but when push comes to shove I would rather have 3-4 RTAs with different flavors that I can easily swap out than a mod that is really designed for people who use a LOT of a single flavor. For me, I would prefer a DNA30 device or DNA30 clone.

My wife would probably love the REO though. She vapes menthol. Nothing else, just menthol.

Takes me about 30 secs to change the flavor on my REO. open door, pop out the battery, unscrew old flavor bottle, screw in new bottle, replace battery, replace door.
Yes, you get a little cross-juice flavor until the new flavor works it's way through, but I think it's a misconception that a lot of people have - changing flavors with the REO is almost as fast as unscrewing and screwing in a new topper.

Uh.. The original question was, "If you could have only one?" Having multiple RTAs to put on your mod doesn't strike me as fitting that criteria.

That's gotta be a pain when driving and the one thing that keeps me from getting one. I can swap tanks on my p-thingy with one hand.
Them again I can switch hands without missing a beat too

Oh yes for sure, not advisable when driving - lol, but I've seen people putting on make-up, shaving, reading, and even on laptops while driving, so I am sure it's only a matter of time until "changing juice-bottle in REO" is used as a reason for a fender bender.
