I'd be interested to know who the seller was and if they were dropping multiple REOs on ebay. Most know what I mean. I looked on ebay and couldn't find a closed listing, but I am not an ebay diva by any means. Selling a like new Grand at half the cost of new on ebay makes me suspicious of its origins. Ya know?

Could be indeed. For those who don't remember, the Wyoming Vapor Company in Casper was robbed and vandalized, and about a dozen REOs were stolen along with other mods.

If the seller was from Wyoming, you should call the cops.

I sent the OP a PM yesterday letting him know about the theft and gave him the link to that same thread. It was the first thing I thought about when he said ebay.

I don't think anyone "wants" to buy stolen goods, but some might not be thinking "stolen" because it is cheaper.

Don't know if there would be any way to track where a certain REO has been during it's life.

Good thinking, K!

I thought about what I'd do if I was in this situation, I wouldn't want to give up my new Grand (who would?), but I would still turn it in if the police thought it was part of the stolen lot. Apart from helping to see justice done and just being the right thing to do, there's a $5k reward and that will buy a lot of REOs.

it was not stolen or anything. i bought it from a guy because he needs the money for his enrollment class this year.

i'm going to upgrade my reo to silver pins. whats your thought about this? im pondering whether i should upgrade to copper or silver.

Yep, i upgraded mine too by pouring some juice in the bottle, putting in a battery and screwing on a heater. You wouldn't believe how well it vaped after that. :)

I guess my first question would be why change anything to do with the way the REO works? Rob has built em to be very durable and considered the best material properties for the best vape and lifespan.

Just invest in an RM2, if $43 can be considered an investment :)

The question is being asked because e-cig and related items are prohibited on eBay....so we are all curious as to how someone got by that rule.

Search under personal vaporizers, and under health/beauty - smoking cesstation on ebay. You will find accessories like tanks, drip tips, battery pvs, ERA, juice, and even a bolt and zmax.
