There she stands, naked before you.

My first ever squonk led to a minor Exxon Valdes, but since the clean-up it has been vaping bliss. Just a little squonk will do ya.

Ohh..... love the naked Reo. Simplistic, minimalist art is sometimes the best!

Happy squonking.
Thank you fellow wrench.

I like the "naked" ones. I have a Mini and a Grand that way. I don't have to worry about scratching them, not that it would interfer with the performance.
My wife knew I had been drooling over this one and secretly made a note of it. She surprised me with it at the post office. I can just drop it in my coveralls and not worry. I married a Goddess.

ooh very nice, congrats and welcome to reoville :toast:
Thanks! I'll try not to steal too many ashtrays and towels.

Thanks you guys! I can see now why you folks are so proud to be Reos. As a mechanic by trade I appreciate elegant simplicity and this device is as simple and elegant as they come. I am really impressed by it's performance with a 1.5Ω bridgeless atty. And it is a bonus that it hums along nicely with a 1.7Ω carto strapped on too. Still, time to go buy some accessories! A couple of Lifepo4s and some more 4Ω attys for for a little 6v fun. I'll have to troll through here a bit more closely now and see what else folks find works great with my new sidekick.

Thanks Robert!

This is a picture of a Grand with the LiFePO4 stacked batteries. Please be aware that the spring is compressed pretty flat. What that means is the spring can not drop if there is a short. So your batteries will still be able to fire if you press the button. That could lead to a melting of the button. Just FYI.

You will also appreciate the ruggedness then. Mine spent the day in the dirt while I was gardening.....NONE of the other mods I have could go through what I put the Reo thru and be as good as new with a simple bath..... I will be a Reo fan all the way! Oh and then you will have extrordinary customer service as long as you have that Reo, should the rare need arise :)

Last but not least, CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :toast:

Ahhh... Now I see why we think the same. Im an aircraft mechanic by trade (hence the screen name FAAmecanic). Something about holding a well machined hunk of aluminum in your hand and being able to vape from it is just AWESOME.

So from one gear-head to another, and one new reonaut to another.... WELCOME :vapor:
