He actually shipped mine Tuesday or Wednesday last week (late Monday order) and I got it Saturday. Not saying non-Monday shipping is typical, he prolly just happened to need to go to town. Whyever mine didn't wait till tomorrow to ship, I'm glad of it. Anyway, I'd bet your order ships Monday. You're gonna love it :)

New Reo's typically get shipped M,W,F. However they have been know to sneak out on non shipping days. It's a common belief that there are porcupines working undercover in the USPS since Reo's so rarely get sidetracked in shipping.

My order page shows I ordered on Sunday (today) but I actually pulled le trigger on Saturday (yesterday). I wonder if that will make a difference? (Are the porcupines unionized? Lol!)

Thanks for the welcomes, all y'all! Been browsing other Reo threads here; man, this device must really be great. I use drippers and high-wattage subohm clearos primarily (vaping on a Herakles at 50w at the moment) so I have, I feel, a high bar for flavor and vapor production. I'm not expecting to blow massive clouds with my Reo but I am happy to see that .5-1.2 ohms are de rigueur. I use these subohm clearos only because dripping can be a pain in the rear. Looks like the Reo bypasses that issue. :)

Awesome!! Welcome to Reoville!!

Can't wait to see pics of your Shop, The Precious.jpg

after you see this Shop UPS Happy Mail.gif

at some point you may want to pick up some deoxit gold, but the noalox will for now. Amazon has 2ml vials for cheap, or a bottle that will last you a lifetime for around $25.00 You'll get one vial of noalox in your kit, and you ordered a second one.

So here is my new Reo! I tell Ya...Ive been at the post office THRICE today...once before work in hopes of intercepting the package before my trusty mailman took off with it for the morning. Can't very well sign for the delivery while at work...but alas, I missed him. It was already loaded up. So I went back immediately after work and he hadn't made it back from his rounds yet! I think the lady postal worker felt sorry for my poor, defeated self...she told me to call her before coming back out. An hour later he still hadn't made it back! I had to put dinner on...one half-hour before the post office closed for the day I went back. Finally, it had arrived! I signed for it and prayed nothing would impede my trip back home!

First impression: Man, this thing is SMALL! I think it looks more like a Mini! But that is a good thing. And it is obviously built like a tank. The door slides effortlessly yet is not loose. This pink is bright and cheerful...not the color of Pepto Bismol. ;) The RDA is a solid little chunk of goodness, too. I built a single coil at .9 ohms and winged the wicking (AKA I didn't research a specific "REO Way" to wick it...kinda used what common sense I have left)...gave it a few squonks...popped in my spanking-new, fully-charged button top AW 2200 mAh and test fired. Perfection. No need to use the included Allen wrench.

I can tell I need to practice when and how to squonk. I'm getting a few dry hits...this is ALL due to newbie user error. But so far so good...and my thrifty ITCVapes Nilla Gorilla is tasting very delicious...like a Kayfun on steroids. Can't wait til my DIY banana creme pie steeps.

Enough talking! More REO!

You guys and gals are awesome...such quick turnaround on validation and responses :)

I want to post more pics...that little bitty one isn't doing it justice. I've got a large cat sleeping on my lap right this second and if I move her she'll yell at me so I have to wait a little bit. ;)

Seriously tho, I think I need to do more research on wicking. My wicking is great for RDAs like the huge CLT V2 but I think I've got too much cotton in this RM4. Not *quite* as much flavor coming through as I'm sure is possible. Super X Drifter, I watched your videos last night. WAY TO GO, and THANKS, MAN. I know exactly how to clean, what to buy, etc., thanks to you.

More pics soon. :)

Very nice! One very good thing about the REO is that if you continue to spend money then it will only be for more REO's and related stuff. You have reached the end of your search for the perfect APV. In the past several months, my spending has actually dropped for the first time in a long time - coincided with my first REO (now two) purchase with an RM2.

As to when to squonk, I took Super_X_Drifters advice and it has yet to fail me: When in doubt, squonk.
