Mechanical reos will be seeing some upgrades

[Filthy-Beast]

I am looking forward to it to folks . Its been a mission to get it done the company I am dealing with they move like snails . I have had to count back from ten several times to keep my temper in check . I would have switched companies but I am in way to deep at this point . If I told you what this is costing it would scare you . I got prices for $14,000 for tooling fees .The company I went with was cheaper but man are they slow

I bet you heard a lot of "that order is too small"

No I made a big order I am putting them in all the mods . I do no of other mod builders that are having a problems getting contacts like this because they cant order enough for a company to want to deal with them

can't wait for the upgrade. Rob you got an ETA on this? Wondering if i should order my second REO now or if this is coming soon wait a little and order everything all together.

I'm actually a bit anxious about the rebuild process. Like if I rebuild my grand it might not ever be as good as it once was. Learning process I guess.
I'll make sure I get a few for both my reos

Yeah in construction we always say you have a choice how you want it but you can only pick two:

Good
Fast
Inexpensive

Sometimes you only wind up with one though

I am a Purchasing/Manager for a manufacturing company... nothing that could help out with the sub ohm kits though

In my department I have a "purchasing trilogy". you have to buy the right part, at the right price, at the right time. If you miss any of those aspects, you've failed.

Just my $.0150

Thanks

So they are the fasttech of the spring and firing pin fabricating world?

We had similar when racing back in the day:

Fast
Reliable
Inexpensive

Pick 2.

No they charge fat chunks of cash fasttech is cheap

When dealing with saltwater reef ecosystem aquariums the saying is "Nothing good happens fast and anything that happens fast is not good".

Back when I was a bike courier I used to say that there were three things I loved in life:

Riding my bike fast
Drinking heavily
Not wrecking

I could very reliably do any two at one given time.

Just remembered the 1 year anniversary since buying my first REO was a few days ago. I also remembered this upgrade. Seems like a fitting reward to give my Grand for 1 year of solid, day after day service.

Happy reoversary!

This thread kinda got off track, but I'm curious what the status is on the upgrade kits. Are we still right around the corner for a release or has this been postponed?

The new prototypes passed the order has been placed .Were looking at 4 to 8 weeks . I have asked if they can give me me the first thousand pieces early . If I can get some early we will see them sooner

Any update on this? I've been putting off getting another grand, got the itch for a new one. I figure if the wait's much longer, i'll just order the mod and get a cpl kits later in the future.

Rob said something about possibly getting some early - I think he's still counting backwards from 10.

I cleared my PayPal just for this occasion. I suspect I'm not the only one.

For sure not!

This whole situation of ordering, maintaining quality control and waiting is the reason Robert invested in the equipment he needed to do most REO parts in house.

Back about a year he was sending the metal REO's out for finishing, then it was only anodized.

He can and does now do the metal body and doors in house. Then he invested and got what was needed to make other finishes available. Now powder coating is done in house.

Anything, any part that he can do in house is done there.

To me this really makes him the perfect supplier. Always wants it done right and always wants it done RIGHT NOW!

Always doing what he can to keep us happy and satisfied that the REO will always stand tall in the vaping world.

 

[X-Puppy]

He's right there with us - and it shows!
