Ian's post was spot on. The run time with a quality 18650 like an AW IMR would be hard to top. If that doesn't get ya thru, can't think of much else that would :)

Not to mention the durability - can't think of anything that even comes close to that offered by a metal REO. I mention that because you are in and out of different rigs throughout the day and it sounds like your chances of your mod hitting the ground are increased.

That's the beauty of having a small form factor, and juice in the mod rather that on it - if it drops, most likely you'll carry on like it never happened. Worse drops may damage the drip tip.

That said, I carry nothing but the grand when I leave. But if I had to leave for 8 + hours, I'd put my 18650 flashlight in the car with a fresh battery so I could take it out and use it in my grand if necessary. :)

Or I might take a second grand. Dunno. Never had to leave for that long since I started vaping :)

That is why I need one. seems like the perfect device for me.

You make that door yourself? I didnt see that one on the Reo site.

My username is fishing slang for setting a hook. I don't have big lips either lol.

Greetings Mr. Lips. I owned 2 MVPs prior to my first REO. My wife still uses the V2 and loves it. We like the form factor of a Box.

You mentioned the hassles associated with clearos. the bottom-fed RDAs that we use require some upkeep, but the satisfaction they provide make the upkeep seem like the opposite of hassle. I re-wick and dry-burn daily. Most others go a few days between dry-burn/re-wicks, but I love to fiddle.

About the batteries...the AW IMR 18650 1600MAH batteries have an amp limit of 26. This relatively high amp limit will allow you to run low-resistances safely. Although they won't last as long before a recharge is required, they'll support the builds that most of us prefer.

The 2000MAH AW IMRs will give you a longer life between recharges, but won't be able to support lower resistance builds.

Like you, I go through 2-4mL per day. Although I'll notice a drop-off in performance, I can easily leave the house for 12 hours with one fresh AW IMR 1600MAH 18650.
Yep....I was gonna explain the same thing but you said it better than I would have anyway.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet since you haven't had a mod with batteries before, but when you buy your batteries, make sure you get a small plastic battery case to carry your spare battery in. You don't want to just throw it in your pocket. If anything metal (like spare change, your keys, etc.) touches it, there is the chance it could vent.
