This depends on how low you want to go. .8 is fine some go as low as .6 without issues. Or you can wait for the kit which should be available near the end of the month. Then you can go way low, possibly lower than you want to go.
I would wait for the sub-ohm upgrade kit before you go any lower than .6-.7 just as Raynman said. But at that level you should be getting the results that you are looking for... unless you are going for dual coils or more. But you may run the risk of collapsing a spring if you do..
I went to .5 and my spring has sagged a bit. @ .6 I have no issues. Cleaning the contact and noalox, also filing the contact. But I watch it constantly and its like looking over my shoulder for a melted button. Can't wait for the kit.
thanks guys
...I thought I'd tinker with .6-.8 ...I don't think I'll need it any lower... I'm also gonna lower my nic too...I want lots of vapor ..but I wanna live too...lol...off to check out youtube to see some coils and wicks...

I sub ohm and .6 and I haven't had one issue.
I do use noalox on the fire pin and spring.
I know many love doing lower and using dual coils,, I've been there done that. under .6 I found it to be tiring for a all day vape.
also even lowering the nico level a lot,, still the nico affect was over whelming.
dual coils did the same thing and used so much juice
and just made tweaking twice the hassle. plus heating up duals takes longer to fire up, even though its only a second longer it wasn't worth it for the finally result.

My shop makes stone button's for reo's out of marble and granite. He said sub ohms big problem with a reo is melting the button. I don't know if this is completely accurate. So I'm throwing this out there and the knowledgeable people here can agree or call my local b&m lairs. Lol but I sub ohm mine and .5-.7 and no issues. I however give it a minute to cool down if it gets too warm. I'm still weary

2 potential problems with subohms. One is melted button, the other is a slow collapse of the spring from the heat.
There's also the added maintenance of frequently filing and noaloxing the firing pin, but the button and spring are the "problems".

prevents oxidization on the firing pin, prevents a non conductive layer of oxidization from forming and keeps the electrons flowing
If you file your firing pin (positive side) you will feel an increase in power, dabbing nolax on there keeps it that way for longer.
Rob includes nolax with a new reo, you can also purchase some from him.
For me at .6 on Mundy's Magic wire requires more frequent filing and nolax, and of course my batts don't last very long.
But it does taste great and gives a beast of a hit

I've been vaping at .6 on my Reo for about a week now and just noticed the bottom of my button is melted a bit. 
A lot of us have modded our Grands to run sub-ohm builds, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're not crafty. The kit is due soon. If you are crafty, and you simply can't wait (like me), search the sub for "brass firing pin" and "fuse mod." I run around 0.2Ω with no problems.
I'm just going to wait for the kit, but I can't wait! I go down to .9 on mine and just don't chain vape it so it can't get way hot
