Can anyone who has one tell me if they Low Profile tumbled grand is pink? It looks pink in the pics but I was wondering if the color was because of the red background & it's actually silver. Thanks in advance.

It's straight up silver. Just like raw aluminum. I have the TRA, but it's been polished. Definitely not pink, lol, or I wouldn't want it.
My polished, was raw aluminum LP Grand:

I have a tumbled door, and I love the feel of it. Hard to describe. Easy to grip, not slippery at all like the vein finishes can be. I got it thinking to glue some wood on it, but I kinda fell in love with it as is. It looks quite sharp on my white reo.
how does the polished do with finger prints. Seems like they'd be easy to see. Are they?
Just like any mirror they will show prints! It is the one thing about the polished that can be a pain. Robert started selling the Mini's as polished but lots of people were getting upset at the constant cleaning of prints. He found the anodizing to be lots better. I have noticed with my powder coats without texture that the fingerprints bother me. I keep them in covers most of the time so it is not a big deal.

Terribly, to be honest. It's a finger schmutzing mess, especially right after I put on hand lotion, lol. I use a fabric cover that I got from someone who got it from someone (it's just a piece of microfiber fabric cut, folded, and glued, very effective). It only comes out for pictures. It still is purdy, I didn't polish it myself, but I'm sure it's a simple and fun thing to do on the TRA models, I lot of us do that. Some of us like them raw, too.
I have found that the more I beat my polished Grand like a red-headed stepchild, the less the fingerprints show.
I'm so tempted to get one. I might not polish it just to not have that problem.
Lol I went to the RM site just now to look at it again. Saw that it's now IN STOCK & ran away lol. My hubby would be so ...... if I bought another one right now when I've bought 2 in 2 months.
I"m just gonna have to simma' down & wait til later in the year before considering another one....and stay off the freakin Reosmods site lol. That place is dangerous when you've got your cc# memorized.

Oh, poo, I know what you mean. Good thing, they will be waiting patiently for you when you're ready. I promise. Well, that's what I constantly have to tell myself, too. Just vape the one you've got to console yourself. I'll have a vape for ya, too.
That's right, it will be there waiting
Well, I have a couple nonbottomfed atties I still like so I've been trying to decide a mod to get to use with just them, ya know, so I can have 1 just for when I want to try out eliquids or for when I don't want a full tank of something, etc. Anyway, someone in General Discussion was mentioning yesterday how great the low profile Reos are since you can put any atty or tank or whatever on them. I don't HAVE any tanks to put on one as I sold everything for my second Reo lol. But I'm thinking I'll have to get one of these so I can have the best of both worlds rather than trying to hunt down the perfect mod to JUST use with my drippers. WAY better to have one I can use with my drippers AND have a 6 mil bottle to use with a Cyclone bf....which I don't have yet but really want. So I shall add it to my want list & wait. Perhaps Rob will add a few more colors for those. That would be nice.

Haha, that might have been me. I have two LP's, one is set up as my "top drippin" Reo with a non modded Helios clone on top:
I have no desire for a tank (like a KFL or similar). That's what the bottle and tube are for, lol. But dripping my anise or strong menthol flavors, it ROCKS!

Well that's a good idea so if you are responsible you probably saved me some money. I've already bought a couple little mods to use with those drippers & hated both of them (they were cheap fortunately). I've been looking at a touchwood mod which is pretty & would probably be nice too. But the LP Reo would also be nice since I could use it as a bottom feeder or just a dripper.
Oh well. I better stop thinking about it since I can't be buying new mods right now anyway....although I do seem to recall I got some Bday money from my mom. hm.....
And I hear ya on having no desire for a tank. I thought I would like a tank at first because I really did like my Evod (it was very easy & problem free for me unlike many other people) & thought the Kayfun mini would be a good upgrade for it. After using it for a while though I realized that the ease of a dripper is what I really wanted out of vaping so the Reo was the best way for me to go. Kinda wish I'd have figured that out before buying my Kayfun, but it all worked out in the end lol.
Tumbled Raw Aluminum.
Robert tumbles them to give them a very smooth satin feel finish. This is done before any REO is painted or anodized. It is offered to us at this stage because many love the look and feel.
