Let me say first that I quit smoking and started vaping right after surgery. I have been off work and staying home except for trips to physical therapy and some shopping. I will return to work the end of this month.
When I started looking into mods I had two things that I wanted. I wanted a PV that I could take to work and not worry about having enough cartomizers and juice to last me all day. I wanted to be able to be confident that my batteries would not run out several times a day.
I looked at the VV mods and saw that my juice problem would not be solved. Why would I want to have some huge battery and a cart to keep filling? Sure they are really sharp, precision made and big, but unless they have a juice bottle hanging off the side, they would not work for me.
I saw different tank systems, but they seemed to have problems of their own. When the battery would not hold a charge you had to replace half the PV.
The REO seemed the perfect choice. I looked at the other box mods that are out there also. But I was sold on the REO because it was mechanical, sturdy, and got good reviews all around. It also seemed to be well crafted with top of the line materials.
I am still waiting for my REO. But as I wait, I am positive in my choice. I have not had second thoughts on my purchase, which is rare for me.
I just can't for the life of me understand why anyone wanting the best vaping has to offer would go another route with a different mod.

You're going to be very pleased with your REO. It will meet all your needs, and then some :)

I found my REO in the classifieds section. I ended up spending $190 for the REO, batteries, charger, attys, cartomizers, drip tips, and bottles. It was an investment in what I consider the end all vaping experience. If it does what I think it will, and all I have to do is buy batteries, atomizers, cartos, and juice, it will be my last PV. At least that is what I am thinking now! ;)

Congrats, you will love it.
I hope you got a good one from the the classifieds, some people beat them up pretty bad.
And sometimes even if they are cleaned well they hold flavor for a bit from the previous user.
I had a used one that tasted funny for a week even after i cleaned everything very well.
If finally came around to what I expected.

Good luck the REO can easily be the last PV you will ever need, but you might want more REOs very soon :)

Well it came today but the batts and attys will be here tommorow. I had a 14500 layin around so i made a spacer work and got a chance to use it. Its awsome! Will be glad to try out the lr atty as soon as it gets here.

With a LR atty it is a whole new beast. I owe a lot to Rob and his Reo's. I would be back on the stink stix if it wasnt for him!
