I heard with the Vmod you have to turn it upside down to get the juice to the wick. I also heard it is cheaply made and if dropped it will break/crack. I can't answer weather the reo was the first squonker or not, but i'd imagine so it's been out for a long time now. I could drop my reo off a sky scraper and it would work

I built and sold the first botton fed mods that use standard atomizers . There was a mod that was bottom fed it had a built in atomizer called the carlos juice box .This was the first it didn't last long you had to send it back to have a new coil and wick installed . I dont no how many were sold if I had to guess no more then 250 . The mod was made with a radio shack plastic box . The guy couldn't fill the orders had a army of angry customers it was bad . I actually pre ordered one I never did get the mod . Pre orders lol maybe this is why I never do pre orders . I hated dripping so much I started making my own

I cant knock the VMOD too much, it worked great for me for a while. It just got frustrating, leaks/voltage drops/LEAKS/LEAKS.
When it did work though, it was a great vape, easy to carry, and lasted all day. After trying to modify it to use a RDA on it, which lasted about a month before crapping out on me, it led to me buying my first REO!

Never looking back. :vapor:

Well I'm happy that first thing was such a POS... have you kept track of how many reos you've sold? Can we get a rough number? I'm curious...

And I do remember the back and forth conversation about "gravity feed" vs. the feed tube reaching the bottom of the bottle. :)
That was fun because one party kept saying gravity is nature and how could nature be wrong even if you had to tip it upside down and it was really pressure not gravity. At least that was the gist of the other mods argument. This back and forth occurred nearly four years ago and really was one of the reasons I went the Reo way. It was the tone of the argument that swayed me as much as anything. When people get defensively mean and snarky I don't want to do any business with them. I know this is kind of cryptic and was done this way for a reason.

You, sir, are a gentleman. I remember that of which you speaks...... ;)

I use both REOs and VMODs.Since I got my RM2 I'm less satisfied with cartos and attys.Putting a RDA on a VMOD requires some handyman skills and tools that may be above my job description.edit:SHOOT. I may have lost that badge I just got by admitting I use VMODS and it was so shiny.
