Its been pretty easy so far I havent taken him out back yet

ROFL!!!! Ok fair enough. I'm just afraid the poor guy will run off and never find out what he's truly missing out on here. God knows I was so frustrated with all the tank problems I had I almost went back to the stinkies. Then I went to a dripper on a mech and finally found out it was worth staying. Then of course came the reo which I drooled over for weeks before taking that big of a risk on something I had never even seen in real life before. Turns out I couldn't be happier and I just hope others that are in the search find what it takes for them to carry on without going back as well. A little good fun never hurts anyone....that is until it does! Just my .02 cents.

Your right. Ok buddy buy a Reo use it for a day then we will talk about changes or lack thereof

 

[CATastrophe]

In fairness, it is a chunk of change to drop on something you're unsure of. Back when I was first drooling over REOs, I was able to try a cheap ($30) Old Goat bottom feeder to see if I liked the principle of it - it used the same batts and bottle, but has a plastic case and not a true mech. (He's not around any more) A couple weeks later I bought my REO mini and never looked back.

The REO design is brilliant in it's simplicity and durability. And you won't find any other mod maker as attentive as Rob. Ever.

I'm the same way, I don't own a Rolls Royce Phantom (yet) either but I've been thinking based on the pics I have seen that the climate control could easily get bumped up or down a degree when I go to switch radio stations. Maybe Rolls Royce could ad a cover over the climate control knob that I have to flip up when i want to change cabin temperature or perhaps mover the radio controls 3-4mm to the right ..... that would fix my perceived problem that is probably not really a problem at all if I had a chance to drive one.

I sure hope when I do get to test drive one that my bottle does not get squonked in my pocket when I sit down in the drivers seat or that atomizer stays "stress free" so it lasts longer. I think I'm safe because neither has happened in 2 years and 9 months of sitting with a REO in my pocket but I guess anythings is possible once and while. Somehow I think the Rolls Phantom will be parked in my driveway before I find anything I would change about the REO ....

So Rob if you see a Rolls Royce Phantom pull in the drive way you know its one of two things.

A) Some billionaire realized you have invented a flawless product line and wants to offer you 50 million for the business.
B) I myself after 3 years have finally come up with an idea to improve the REO.

If its (A) kindly tell him you will think about it for 100 million and 10 thousand to each and every REO customer to date.

If its (B) kindly invite me in its been a long drive. Then over some egg rolls and a fine vape let me down easily as you explain why my idea is silly and not needed at all.

The OP had almost the right idea because Rob listens to all ideas and acts on ones that are warranted. Some customers complained about the corners being a little sharp and hurting hands, now all REOs come with sexy rounded edges while only raising the price of the unit exactly $ 0.00

While other REO owners mentioned that the small button was tough on some folks hands. Rob took the time to create a whole new product the super nice and smooth large button cover which he now sells for the get rich quick price of $4.00

Perhaps to avoid snippy replys the best bet would have been to come here and ask if anyone had ever had issues with the concerns he had.

Fair points all the way

I can't think of a single thing I'd change w/the mod itself. I would like to see a SS RM2 added to the line-up. But keep the ceramic floor of course.

 

[element77]

i dont own a reos mod at all but i have been looking and i like the bottom feed idea. However it would be nice if this mod or the mini were more pocket friendly. if you put the mod in your front pocket with your key or something else whats to stop the bottle from getting squeezed? so i though maybe have a door with a bottle opening that closes. then i thought some more and said well what if when you put it in your pocket you take off the door and turn it upside down so the bottle windo will be over the positive side of the battery, that would fix that problem...right? do the magnets still work if the doors on upside down? if not, id change that. Also i dont know if you can do this already but, make it a little wider so you can fit a extra atomizer inside of it or if your pocketing it you can take the atomizer off and put it inside so your connection gets less bending stresses in your pocket and last longer. thats my ideas. i dont know if anyone has thought about this or said it? its just my thought.

DAYUM

wow i dont know where to start... uhmm... a vast majority of you guys seem like you just quit using manuals last week. so irritable. Calm down....breathe...it will be okay...

ok seriously it was a suggestion thats all. no i dont own a reos mod but that doesnt make my points and less valid. i know that with my job i hit my pockets hard on stuff at work, sometime using my hips to slide stuff that is heavy and sometime just running into stuff. ive bent ego's battery and cartomizer like 10 degrees off from being straight just from having it in my pocket. its just something i noticed and am or would be concerned about before buying one.

also there was a reply saying i carry mine in my purse and my pocket....that not the same as a dude. a purse is loose and open and nothing is bent or pressed on in a purse to cause the bottle to get squeezed, also if its in a womans pants usually they dont carry lots of stuff in their pockets with it/ most likely its just a couple of credit cards and keys in one pocket and the reo in the other. im carrying a wallet and a small gerber in one front pocket and my keys and cell phone in the other. throw in a ecig no matter the size and its going to get scratched and abused and scratched up and so i thought i had a valid point. but hey you think im dumb for suggesting something and you think that the reo is perfect and that it wont ever break in my pocket then thats your opinion and maybe it hasnt broken on you but it seems smart to me that thats a natural weak point of failure. any time you have a long thing sticking out of a strong base where do you think the breaking point is...well all im saying is make it wider or deeper or something so you can unscrew the week point and keep it protected inside the strongbox.

also all this crap about you have to own one to judge it is partially true but mostly not. if you were 4ft tall and seen a 4x4 truck that was really tall in a picture you might suggest that they add a retracting step or a rail for shorter people, same thing im doing. making a suggestion based on what i seen that i think would be a concern. hey but maybe your right maybe the truck looses all tire pressure and is on 2 ft air bags that can lower so it doesnt need a step... but most likely thats not the case. I get that you guys really like it, you bought something thats expensive and is of great quality, so you stand buy you product and your purchase. However, even nice things like ferraris can have problems and catch fire, just like im sure the reo is not as perfect as you guys make it out to be.

im new to the forum as you can tell and if this is what ECF stands for and what all reo customers turn out to be then count me out.

 

[Della Cirque]

Not all of our answers were rude... I'm the purse & pocket lady and honestly did not mean to offend. I have broken atties off, dropped REOs on concrete and broken drip tips, but no fall has ever damaged my REO. There are lots of hard working folks here that put their REOs through the kind of treatment you speak of and worse, and only one REO that I know of that was deemed a goner....after being ran over by a truck if I remember correctly. If you spend a little time getting to know us, and the REO before you come up with unnecessary "improvements", you would have received a much warmer welcome.

 

[lostknitter]

To be fair, to come into a forum for a specific product, a product that is well designed to do what it does and start with I don't have one, but here is what I would change, you have to admit that the sentence is pretty much like waving a red flag in front of a bull. To address your concerns, the REO is milled out of a solid block of aluminum. The box is VERY STRONG. The bottle is completely surrounded by the REO, and unless you pressed it against something that fits well into the hole, it isn't going to depress the bottle. If you are pushing large heavy items, I think the chances of that happening are pretty slim. You could also put it in your pocket so that the door side is facing you, I think that would solve the problem as far as the design of the REO and your particular situation. As for the Atty or Carto, you are correct, that is the most fragile part of most mods for anyone. You could always throw an extra in with your keys and other items, they aren't that big.

 

[Plumes.91]

the reo 14500 with a 510 to 510 adapter and a regular sized A7 rebuildable atomizer and shorty drip tip is both thinner and shorter than every other mod in my collection with a tank on them. Very small, pocket friendly, and efficient. If you need to bring a 2nd rebuildable atomizer just in case the one you have on it is starting to get gunked up, you should put it in ur pocket. No need to make a mod bigger to hold a spare atomizer. I wouldn't want the provari to be bigger for another atomizer either and the provari mini is 1 of the shortest VV devices on the market. I am still not a professional at using the A7s and I'm using cotton so my wicks do need changing every other day or so, but i wouldnt want the spare to add girth to my mod, no matter what mod i'm using. I like my mods small and short. I dont get how the innokin SVD could sell, its way too long. I think the Vamo users are out of their minds as well. I dont ever want to be out in public vaping from a throwing baton.

 

[Dturp]

Alright I take back what I said about being nice. To come back here and argue with people that have owned these mods for years and tell them they don't know what they're talking about? Years...thats right they've owned them for years without having the problems you're worried about. And most of them politely explained that. The rest although a bit on the smart .... side gave you a bit of ribbing for your arrogance. Yes your job may be "special" in that you bump into things a lot (or you're just clumsy). It still won't leak!!!!! Wow. That's all I can say to that.

Have at him guys!!

 

[oldbroad]

Mathew...honestly, if you use an airplane-grade aluminum Reo of what ever size, it's virtually indestructible. If you drop it on cement from two stories up it MIGHT dent the body a little but it will still perform flawlessly as a the battery, juice bottle and other pertinent parts are inside. What might and probably will break from a hard throw or a long drop would be the atomizer attached to the top of the Reo.

I can't address your concerns about carrying it in a shirt pocket, but just from using a Reo I can assure you that it'd very very difficult for the juice bottle to get squeezed unless the owner is deliberately squeezing it So it'd be unneccessary to put the door in upside down, tho i just tried it and it can be done, but you simply don't have to go to all that trouble because the juice bottle won't leak The most that would happen, if you inadvertently pushed on the bottle is that a very little juice would go up into the attached atomizer but it wouldn't leak out unless you took the whole unit out of your pocket and turned it upside down. .I think you can easily carry a Reo mini.2 in the pocket with your wallet and gerber. Reos aren't long, they're square in shape, so there'd be no bending of it.

The only "weak point" on a Reo could be the atomizer on top of it, if the whole unit is dropped either from a great distance or with some force. The Reo survives virtually unscathed!

Please excuse some of us that you feel offended you...us Reo owners and redeyedancer's fan base can get a little uptight when the Reo is questioned or someone comes along that asks if it can be improved upon.

Please, if you don't leave all together, and have a little time whenever you have it, read some of the various threads here on the Reo forum, it'll give you a much larger scope of all things Reo.

No....it's not your thought. You haven't had a thought yet regarding the REO mods. Were you sent here with the purpose of somehow disparaging these mods? You clearly have no clue about a REO or for that matter , any old mods at all.
Why don't you describe your experience with the REO mod that is so deficient according to your account? Let's hear it.
First off--I'd like to hear how the bottle could possiblly be squeezed by my keys. Lay that on me, if you don't mind. The idiocy goes on and on and it becomes more of a joke than anything else.
We don't get many trolls here in REOland and they ain't welcome. JMO

 

[cags]

....that not the same as a dude. a purse is loose and open and nothing is bent or pressed on in a purse ..........

hmmm, you obviously haven't seen my purse!

regarding the door over the window idea, I think that would be a PIA. I can be lazy and I don't want to have to mess with something like that

 

[Justice]

The RM2 RBA is very good for lessening the chance of breaking the atty off I know I have broken dozens of attys off of my work reo as far as the bottle getting pressed magically I just dont see it or do as I do and get a large cell holster for your belt it seems to be the best way to keep it safe but yes I do get lots of dust dirt oil and asphalt in mine asphalt tastes the worst now as far as truck step who was it chevy or ford that made sissy steps for their trucks ??? I dont know Dodge man myself

 

[debzcf]

I stand by my original statement...

 

[Matthew Bye]

i have no problem with the last 2 post (the 2 post after my one before this one) they seem genuine and were not viewable as being rude. Della Cirque i didnt take you as comming off mean or anything i just brought you up only because i didnt think that what you were saying about having it in your purse and pocket was the same as what it would go threw with it in my pocket at my work, thats all. but i do have to admit the couple post that were of a attacking or strongly defensive manor did give me a overall sense of being attacked by the whole group. i am however sorry for comming off as judgemental of a product i dont own. just saying things i think i would like changed on them especially if im shelling out $100+ for something. if im paying $100 for anything it better be how i want it or damn near close cuz theres no point buying something for that much if your not sure your going to be happy.

Anytime you buy something you can't physically hold you are taking that risk. To just about demand a product be changed to your liking when everyone seems to agree it would be a detriment not a positive is ridiculous. The upside IF you were actually curious about a Reo is the ability to resell it for minimal loss is way better then any other tube mod. And you could do it quickly at that.
