Are you familiar with rebuildable dripping atomizers?

Basically they have a coil or two or four and a small amount of wicking material. You drip juice onto the wicks and vape, then repeat since the atomizer and wicks can only hold a few drops of juice at a time. It makes for excellent flavor and vapor production but is extremely inconvenient because you are constantly having to drip more liquid onto the wicks.

The Reo solves this problem by putting a small plastic squeeze bottle in a box with a tube that leads to the atomizer on top of the box. The atomizer has a small hole in its base that allows juice to flow from the bottle into the atty when the bottle is squeezed or "Squonked". So you just vape and squeeze, vape and squeeze, no dripping needed.

I need a Reo badly.

Once I was bitten by the dripping bug I realized that as awesome as it was it was undoubtedly the most inconvenient thing ever, so my next vaping purchase will probably be a bottom fed mod like a Reo. I'm excited. No one tell my wife.

I know this is a "omg did he just ask that" type question, but what the hell is a reo, what's so special about it and how do they work? :confused:

Ps while we are edumacating the ignorant one........

what at the hell is squonking?

Reo is a popular bottom feed mod. You place a bottle in the mod and squonk (squeeze the bottle) and juice feeds up a tube into the atomizer. The atomizer is usually a rebuildable atomizer such as the reomizer 2.

You already got your answer.

I'll just add that I like to refer to a little squonk as a squeenk. Just to really muddy the waters...

So my wife drops my REO out of my truck the other day, from the window, so at least 4 feet on to hard concrete.

It still works - yes, it's battered and scraped up, I lost a magnet from the door, my brass button cover went flying, and the battery got scuffed. But it still works.

That's why I have a REO.

Those are REOS. Now come down to Reoville and ask the same question. The folks down there are very nice and helpful.

LOL - same thing happened to me.
I was there to ask them to drill out airholes in a BF atomizer I had, and they were like "how do you build in that tiny little thing???" - cuz I like tiny attys - and then "cool, the juice goes up the pin, let me see that!".
They all took a look at the REO too - first guy that looked said "damn, thing is built solid, you could probably run it over".

(PS - did a GREAT job on the airholes and didn't charge me. So I bought a badass drip tip)
