I've been away from ECF for awhile (but not from vaping!). I was a little overwhelmed at first with all the new technologies that have come out this past year, but got started thinking that maybe I should finally move away from my eGos and try some type of APV. But then I remembered how often I drop my eGo, or it rolls off the table... and how I actually prefer the shorter batteries, rather than the twist sized, and thought that a huge electronic device with a glass tank probably was not going to be a good match for me. So I thought about a 'box mod', and the first 'name' that came to mind was Reo. So I searched and came across the links for this forum, and the forum index page.

I started reading last night, and just a little while ago went ahead and placed an order for a Reo Grand. I was really impressed with this forum, and the community here. All of the questions I could think of, I found a post that had the answers - many with pictures! I never got the hang of using an atty (I use cartos or a CE5 on my eGo), so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I can continue to use cartos with the Reo. The information about the batteries and which chargers were recommended were very clear (and I already have them on order this morning, as well).

I was impressed about with the high quality and responsiveness of customer service that I saw displayed in many of the threads. I was impressed as well by seeing how the community supports each other and tries to make sure that good (and complete) information is available to new people.

Kudos to all of you!

Well....Hi and welcome....and thanks. We all love it here. :) I think you will love your Grand....it will be so handy, and there's about zero chance of it "rolling off" of a table. :)

What color did you order? It's hard to wait for it once you've ordered it! Heads up....it will come "signature required" so someone will need to be home to sign for it. And let's hope your batteries/charger get there either at the same time as, or before the REO Grand gets there: there's NOTHING worse than having a Grand in your hand and not having a battery to run it!

Hi, I'm Jan. Welcome to Reoville!

Thanks, all, for the warm welcome!

I ordered it in metallic purple - so that it will go well with my 69 VW Bug that we're working on getting back on the road, which will be satin black with purple and pink accents. The glove box is purple with a butterfly decal on it. I'm going to see if my husband has a smaller decal for the Reo, or if he can paint a matching butterfly on it.

I just got confirmation that the batteries and charger are being shipped out today, so I think I will probably get them first.

I generally am home almost all the time - my main 'job' is watching my grandchildren on the days my daughters work - so signing for packages is not usually a problem, but I am going to be out of town for 5 days next week, so it was a dilemma for me as to whether to order now, or wait until I got back from my trip. But I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to still get a purple one if I waited, so I went ahead and ordered today.

I had a purple 68 beetle...I still regret selling that one! Looking forward to pics of yours!

Mine set on the side of the house for 11 years while I was off driving newer cars (all VW's though). I just never could stand the thought of parting with it. So it's been a bit of work - replacing all the brake lines and parts, fuel lines, switches, etc and etc... We just got it running right after replacing the distributor and carb. Hopefully, my husband will get it painted before the summer is over. I spent most of yesterday out test driving it. There is no clock in it, and it just puts me out into a different place and frame of mind - one where there is less rush and stress.

The one thing I was a little confused about, was which cartos I should use with it. I have been using Smoketech dual coil cartos on my ego, I think LR (but not sure) I was buying them mainly from a local B&M store. I've ordered a couple of the Boge 2.0 SR cartos to try, and someplace I have some of the smoketech short cartos stashed away, and it sounded like those should work well, too. I won the shorties at a vape meet raffle, but didn't use them because they had to be topped off so much quicker...

Welcome to the REO family new Reonaut! Love to see you embark on the REO way of vaping!

Watch for a email from PayPal with the tracking number.

You will probably like the L.R. cartos on your Grand. I like from 1.5 to 1.8 ohms. The 2.0 is a little too cool a vape for me. It is nice to try some different ohms and get a taste of what you like!
