I feel like i must share this with you....

(Excuse my bad english)

I bought my first vape, an Eleaf ijust start plus a few months ago with Halo's Tribeca and put out my cigarettes the same day. At that time i thought it was a really good alternative to the tobacco. Before that i was smoking about 30 hand rolled strong cigarettes a day.
A few weeks later i feld that something was missing so i got myself an Kanger Toptank mini kit and the satisfaction was back again. I really enjoyed the Toptank with both the flavor and the vapor it produced....

But after a few weeks i got back that feeling that something was missing and i was feeling more and more stressed about my vaping. I could not understand what the problem was.

By accident i stumbled on a video on youtube on the Reo Grand. And now i have watched every video online about the Reo. And then i realized what my stress came from..

The constant changing/cleaning of cartomizers. The leaking liquid. The 5 button press to turn the device on and off, the display, dry burns, the extra bottle of juice in my pocket. Yes, pretty much all of these things made me feel like it was a big mission just to get my nicotine.
I just want to make it clear that im not complaining about Kanger and iSmoka's products, im sure they are awesome, but the Tank type of device just is not for me because mabye i dont know how to get them working smoothly....

Now, 4 days ago i recived my Reo Grand with the Reomizer 2.0 and build my first coil with directions from Super X Drifters videos. And on the second try i got it! I'm vaping on 0.9ohm, 7 wraps on a 2mm screwdriver with cotton wicking. Pour in some Nicoticket The Virus......
And lets just say WOW!
This is what i have been missing! This thing just works as it it suppose to. No fuss at all! Now i feel i can relax becaus i know when i wake up in the morning my Reo will work, and will keep on doing so just filling it up and putting in a fresh battery.

This feeling is very similar to when i change from Windows XP to OS Lion, It just work, without all the fuss ;)

So Thank you Rob for this amazing but "simple" invention! It truly has made my vaping as problem free as my tobacco smoking was. Easy as 1-2-3.

Props to the Reo! Just got back from 5 days out of state. Brought a bunch of spares and extras, just in case.
Vaped the Reo the whole time, no problemo and worth every penny.

I cleaned the contacts before I left and the wick was getting gunky by the time we got home.

What a great device. Was using the P67.

Anyone getting battery pitting on their Grands, I've got the itch:)

Awesome for you!
My "trip" took longer, but has continued along the same route - more than three years vaping, and my first Reo Grand is still my "goes everywhere with me, every day" mod. I have several other squonkers now, too...
If you want a second, take a look at the P67 when Rob eventually makes another batch - it's like a "smoothed out" Grand, and flat on top which makes trying other atomizers easier.


edit - oops, I meant to "reply" to @Pluring
o_O

Aint it great when you find what works for you :thumb:

Welcome and congrats :)

Congrats @Pluring and welcome to the simplistic world of the Reo Grand... Come visit some time in the lounge we have set up for us Reonauts... The Reonauts new lounge

If you ever have any problems or just have any technical questions about your Reo's, (cause there will be more), you can ask away in this thread... REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

I love this post. :) Especially this, which brought a huge grin to my face:

Great on you for finding your vaping bliss in a relatively short time. I'm a squonker also, but the road was much longer.

I used a few Grands before selling them to get my P67s. I always put a TINY spot of Noalox on the top of every fresh battery and never had any arcing or pitting. Rob ships every Reo Grand with a small vial of Noalox for this purpose, and you can get a bottle from Home Depot that will last you and your friends a lifetime of vaping and still have 3/4 of the bottle for the grand kids. Doesn't hurt to have a couple of spare contacts on hand either.
