LMAO!! I hate to say this, I have no clue. But both are cool so I'd be happy with either one. I guess I should have paid more attention. The one I was looking at had no photo so I had to go back and forth between the Grand and mini pics back to the LP mini page to see what it looked like.

I'm hoping it has the black body and silver door cuz I think I like that one better. But not going to bug Rob, again. He did email me back and said he didn't have any LP minis for another week. No big deal, gives me time to continue reading on squonking and wrapping my own coils with Kanthal. I've only rebuilt byLeo Dippers/Sophia with Stormy Ready Made.

And yes, I've been reading a TON of your posts...LOLOL.

You can always PM Rob and let him know what you want and even throw in the spring. He wants you to be happy. You will not be bothering him :)

Thanks. Most of my posts are the ramblings of a very satisfied vaper :)

Nah, I'm ok. Black or silver, black and silver...I'm happy with any of those. Actually kind of fun to wait and see what the hell I ordered since I really don't know. Now if it gets here and it's green w/orange polka dots, not so much. At that point, I'd look for something to wrap it.

And yes, I can tell you're a satisfied vapor. If I knew how to make a gazillion of cool coils, I would be too!

Like you said, unboxing it should be a blast!!

Yes, and looking at the pics again above, I actually now like silver body and black door better. I'm a chick, I'm allowed to change my mind like the weather. So, it's a good thing I just stick to my order, which I have no clue what it is now and take what I get. Decision made, no changes. LMAO!!


Has anyone used a spray paint and change theirs up before or not a good idea?

No spray paint here but I did strip my grand down when I received it in a trade with a fellow reonaut... Original was black anodized w/ silver hammertone door...

AngiBe, excellent choices and welcome. Just as an aside, you can order a "rebuild kit" that will have everything you could possibly need to replace including an extra spring. If you don't already have one, a multimeter is handy for checking your coils and batteries, RTDVapor sells those too.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread, the excitement is contagious, and hopefully, will keep me from ordering another one....for a little while anyway :)

Thank you! Yes I'm getting a multimeter from RTD, but I'm still searching out Kanthal, gauges, what to wrap on 1/16th or what have you, how not to discharge a batt since I'm used to blinking lites when a batt is low,, ohm law, charts...DANG!! There's a lot to learn.

And as I'm studying, I get a PM that a Woodville is in the classies. Thank GOD it was gone because even tho I've never used a REO, built my own coil outside of readywire and haven't perfected squonking (my goal is to be a squonk master-LOLOL), I felt compelled to look and thought about buying.

Yes, I have a severe problem, apparently.

If you ever want a crash course in building coils, metering, etc. Feel free to shoot me a PM. I've also got several gauges of wire you could have to play around with as well.

Oh AngiBe, nobody here has ever been tempted to order an additional Reo before there first one has even arrived. Nope, never.

Welcome to the group that has a severe problem but is loving every single vaping minute.

PS: Once you figure out what gauge(s) of Kanthal you want, might want to check out Kanthal A1 for very competitive pricing.
