Dropped it last night at a New Years party, and ended up collapsing the spring and partially melting the button. :facepalm:

PM'd Rob just after midnight, and he's already provided me instructions on sending the Grand to him for repair.. Amazing!

I'm going to miss my Grand! Driving just won't be the same without it..
:(

Happy New Year, ReoNauts!!

That sucks, but Rob will get it back to you in no time. Time to think about a back up maybe?

I have a backup for all my other devices, eGo's, Omega's etc. I've just never had one for the Grand. It's been so solid over the time that I've owned it, that I never thought of getting a backup for it.

I've heard that Rob usually flips repairs out in a day or two, but there's still the 2 weeks or so each way that our lovely postal service will take. 4 weeks or more without the Grand.. sigh! Maybe I should get a backup.

Hmmm.. more Grand-age!

:( Sorry to hear that! I hope you will get yourself a backup this year - this is a must so you won't have to be without a REO ever again! :thumb:

It really is amazing that you emailed Rob at that time and he got right back to ya on New Year's! That's our Modpapa - always looking out for his REOkinz! BIG HUGS ROB! :wub:

Hugs and Happy New Year to you!

Ron had my mini back to me in 2 weeks (including the shipping). The slowest part of it was CP shipping back to me. They held it in Mississauga sort facility for a couple days.

There is hope, yay!! :)

My condolences For both you and your Grand. I agree that a back up is necassary. I plan on adding as many back ups as I can when funds allow.

Good luck and hope you two reunite soon!!!!

I am a firm believer in backups. I have 2 Omegas, 2 Silver Bullets and 4 eGo's... each has it's own place in the vaping arsenal. Omega's at home, SB's stay in the Office, eGo's for going back and forth to work. The only devices I don't have backups for are my Grand and the GGTS. They are so solid that I never considered getting backups for them. ;)

I have enough to keep me going for the next two weeks, perhaps move the GGTS to the car for the time-being. :)

I'd say this is a good start (learned "early" how you'd miss it)
Within a week of getting my first REO, I ordered a backup. I now have a few backups :)

Sure... uh that was my reason too, not because of the 1st gen green coming out a month or so after my first

That was quick! Robert will get it fixed and off for it's journey back to you soon! Hope it's return voyage is just as fast!

LOL, I FedEx'd it to him yesterday, and included FedEx paperwork for the return journey as well. What can I say?! I want it back.. :)
