Ahhh Far from perfect?? Just wait till u use your Reo for the first time lol It is closer to the perfect mod then any other i have tried I promise you that
As others have stated you def not need 8 bottles get one extra its very easy to change the juice out
Also how does buying attys Equal the Reo being more expensive??? Every mod needs attys/cartos lol you gotta buy them no matter what
Lighthound.com
4x AW IMR 14500 batteries = $30
Cheapest Charger I cound find, Ultrafire WF-139 Charger = $17.99
Shipping to Europe = $15.95
Total cost is $253
Isn't that alot of money?
Well batt wise you dont need 4 at first just get 2 as for the charger i mean you cant avoid it the batts will need to be charged at some point lol
Bottom line getting the Reo and batts charger will change your vaping experience in a huge way Best mod you can get hands down ........

i remembered i saw some wood craving words like this in a tattoo shop in singapore and it craved ( good tattoo ain't cheap cheap tattoo ain't good ) i believed so does REO's...... cheer up my friend......vaping is for long run so lets do it marathon....
If you spread the price of a REO over a year, it winds up costing the same as a couple cigarettes per day. And at the end of that year, the REO is still ready for many more years of service. Search around this forum and you will find stories of REO's that have been dropped on concrete, run over by a Jeep, dunked in a cooler full of water for a couple days, left in a muddy field, etc. All survived just fine. Try that with most other mods or commercial e-cigs and you'll have a worthless paperweight.
Yes, trial and error, with your calculation the REOs are too expensive. Better get an e-power from Poland (China, Smoktech) for 20-25 Euros. My e-power 18650 lasted finally three days, now the PCB is kaput. My e-power 14650 don't work with my all over available 14500 batteries, but needs very special 14650, which you get nowhere.
Do you want to hear my calculation?
I wanted a bottom fed mod without needle. The only one available in Europe is from Golden Greek. 160,- Euro for the GGTS SS and 100,- Euro for the UFS V2, that makes $354,46. In my opinion $135 is outstanding cheap. If you find a cheaper bottom fed without needle, without plastic box, then tell me.
(You forgot VAT and taxes in your calculation.)

I some what agree with you, however I was spending 5-600$ per month on analogs sooooo either way its an investment and the Reo always holds its value..I say go for it
The two of us were spending $1600-$1800 a month on analogs!!!!!

Two years ago, when I bought my first BB, the overall cost was high, just because I had to buy all the accessories required (batteries for v 3.7 and the 6v, chargers, etc. atom ...) But it is an inevitable price if you want to move from a normal ecig (as an Ego) to any type of BB.
Subsequently, all other PV that I bought, I paid only the "net price" of the mod, because everything else I already had.
So, it is only the initial set up costs to be high, because the price of Reo (by itself) is not high.... it is even less than that of many other BB on the market.

Evidently not since most of us have multiples.
Money is just the thing I have sometimes that I trade for other stuff. Some stuff is more important than other stuff, so I try to be careful about what I trade for while my money supply lasts.
The REO Mini has been on my list of things I'd like to own for about a year (I scratched it off my list when it arrived about an hour ago). I wasn't certain it was worth the asking price either. I wasn't sure a bottom feeder would be something I'd want to use regularly. - A few months ago, I bought a plastic bottom feeder and I didn't use it very much at first (my work and play tend to be destructive to any personal items I carry - plus I own several other PVs). But, over time, I started to really enjoy the convenience. So, I bought a second one. I used them both a lot. In fact, any day that I was working indoors or any day I was driving more than 100 miles, they were the most likely PVs for me to be using.
Three weeks ago, I burned out a switch on one of those plastic feeders. About 10 days ago, I burned out the other (both incidents were my own carelessness). I have plenty of other choices of PVs to use (all of which I like) so it wasn't that big of a deal. But it only took a couple of days to start missing my feeders. And then I had to drive 600 miles for work early last week. I've made the same trip without a feeder many many times, but it annoyed me this time.
So, by mid-week, I decided I should either order a couple of switches and fix my feeders or get a new one. The guy who built my plastic feeders did such a good job with the silicone and epoxy that it looked like it would be a real hassle to replace the switches, so I decided to get a new one. - There was food in the fridge, the power bill was paid, there was whiskey on the shelf, and I couldn't think of anything else that really required me to trade some money for - so I decided to get a more durable feeder.
Expensive? - yeah. probably. Worth it? For me - yes.

You guys have me convinced! 
I rather buy 8x extra bottles cuz of the shipping (backup-backup) since I don't know any suppliers in Europe that sells them. Are they the same size as the 10 ml bottles from Heaven-gifts?
Just so weird I don't find any AW IMR 14500 from European shops, can't I use different 3.7 batteries in the same size?
Also, a good atomizer that is durabe but not super expensive?

You can't find it???
Astonishing. Did you tried Google? The second entry brings you directly to powerleds.de, who have them available.
Not cheap, but cheaper as in USA plus shipping plus vat plus tax. Inside the EU, you don't have to pay vat anymore.
Andreas
I did use google and powerleds.de is not on the first nor the second page.
But thanks anyways.
Edit: I don't understand a thing on their page. No english button..?
Edit2: 14,7 dollars per unit? Wow that's double the price!

As someone who owns dozens of mods, from the inexpensive plastic box mods to the ridiculously expensive GG and Darwin, I can tell you from experience that the Reo is the best built bottom feeding mod in existence. IMHO, its under priced.
Think about this. Imagine the cost of materials (high quality wood and mechanical parts) then add the labor hours (probably a few in total) it takes for him to complete the finished product. Add a little buffer in the price for profit. When you think about what you are getting and amount of work and detail that goes into each unit, you're not really over-paying for this product. When people talk about whether or not a Reo is "too expensive," it is obvious they really haven't put much thought in the product they are getting, IMO. This is a specialty product, not a commodity.

i dont know what particular machines rob uses to make the various reos, however i am a CNC machinist. my company recently bought a new machine for me to make aluminum perts not to different from size and complexity of the reo and that machine cost over 250,000 $. the man has to pay for that and make a living wage for himself and his workers. BTW the parts i machine sell for a lot more than a reo and we sell a lot of them
You can use good quality protected 14500 batteries instead of the AW IMR's if you can't find them, they just won't perform quite as well. The AW IMR tends to hold its charge more consistently, where the protected battery gradually discharges pretty much right from the start. BDL IMR batteries don't have a particularly good reputation, but I had pretty good luck with the ones I had.
Just buy one. If you don't like it, then I'll buy it from you in the classys at a fair price. And you can go back to your ego.Just pm me if you are going to sell it. I have 3 Grands and would'nt mind having another.
