International REO

[sjoat]

Any international customers? I'm thinking about ordering the REO Mini but I'm scared I might get a dud and I can't afford to send it back to the USA to get repaired/replaced. I know they're made very well and probably tested before shipping but still there's that worry. Another thing, how long do these things last? If they are well looked after, is it only a matter of replacing the atomizers/batteries/liquid?

Thanks very much!

i think you will be fine .. you could just e mail rob to have him double check the mini for you... and just order a extra feed tube and extra spring... if your worried... your in good hands with rob...

+1 for what lawman said I'm am a little international and can honestly say it is near indestructible I have considered ordering an extra spring just in case but no rush I've now got three Reos so I shouldn't be without.

IDK where you are, but there are REO owners who post here from England, Spain, Italy, Phillipines, Australia, Japan, Singapore, so I think the international shipping works pretty well.

If you don't drop it off a cliff it will outlive us all.

They're the toughest things out there!

I'm from the Philippines and have a Woodvil, 2 Grands and a mini. Rob checks his mods one by one before sending them out so you're in good hands.

Had a collapsed spring once in my mini but it was mainly due to user error. Good thing I ordered the rebuild kit precisely for the reason that it's not easy to send the mod back. So I suggest to order the rebuild kit with your mod.

That's pretty much it. And even if they get banged up and run over, only thing you have to replace are either the atties, cartos, batteries or juice!

Go for it man!

I live in the UK and I've a Mini, Grand and Woodvil. All made it over the pond (Atlantic) intact and fully functional, I expect them to outlive me.

The aluminium Reo's are extremely durable, like others here have said its smart to order an extra spring as it is possible for one to fail if there is a short. Luckily the springs are very easy to replace on the mini and should just require one screw to be removed.

Yeh, mlinky is right

I have been the first italian Reonaut, and now many friends of my italian forum have one o two Reos.

About malfunctions, do not worry. If the Reo had been electronic, the matter would have been different, but it is completely mechanical and often you can adjust it by yourself.
