My new black mini is what i've dreamed of for the ultimate vape experience!

[bmwjen]

I wasn't home yesterday when the postal carrier attempted to deliver my mini with signature confirmation. (I was at the Houston Rodeo, partying with Kid Rock). So, I picked my mini up at the post office about an hour ago, and OMFG.........
I really don't even have words to describe how wonderful this is! I don't have to fill fluxomizers, I don't have to fill ego-t carts. I don't have to watch 10+ youtube videos to figure out how to get started. I just fill the bottle & vape til my heart is content! Again, I don't even have words to describe how EASY and WONDERFUL this has made my vaping experience!

I followed the advice on the "you ordered a REO, this is what else you will need" Thread. I ordered 3 aw IMR 14500 3.7v batteries, and I ordered a charger. They came the other day, but I didn't open them until today when I opened my mini & actually needed them. Ahhhhhhhhhh, the charger will not fit these batteries. I called my husband at work & told him, so when he gets home, we are probably gonna go to batteries plus or something to find the proper charger.

I've got some aluminum drip tips, but for a mod this nice, it deserves to have my pyrex drip tip connected! Right now i've got it connected to a standard 510 atty until my LR attys & super cute spiral drip tips arrive.

I'm excited to order the wooden Reo when they are restocked, because the Reo is totally a top of the line vaping experience like no other. I love how the door is magnetic or something & how I can actually see my juice. This little baby fits in even the smallest juicy or coach clutch with no problems. Thank God for people like Rob who truly understand what people wanting the ultimate vaping experience need! The REO is LOVE!!!!

One question, can I lay the Reo Mini on it's side? or will it leak all over?

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

HI bmwjen! So glad you love it like I do! Actually, I have tipped mine over many times and never had a problem with it leaking....BUT, I tend to keep the reservoir dry while not in use so that might be the reason why. If you have a substantial amount of liquid in the reservoir and you lay it down, it is possible for it to drip out that way. But not from the feeder assembly itself. If you plan to lay it down, just vape out the excess juice and you should be fine. Keep us posted and congratulations!!!

What Rhaps said. I carry it in my purse all the time!

A Juicy/Coach girl, huh? I'm a Hayden Harnett gal myself

Which charger did you order? If it is the Pila, you may need to use spacers (which should be included).

Congrats on your new mini reo. I often remind folks besides getting all the stuff prior to recieving the mod is to have the batteries ready and charged. No biggie in your case with hubbys help your good to go!! Just mentioning it to other new future reo owners.

Congrats! The REO's truly take the drudgery and fuss out of vaping. If Rob would just make atty's, we'd be in hog heaven. But the Ciscos and Ikenvapes have been pretty good to me.

Batteries Plus may not have the charger you need, but Lighthound is probably not too far away in Pearland, TX.

Congrats, please let us know what charger you have .... there might be a way to get you up and running with it.

I figured it out.......I need spacers, so I ordered 2.
My husband has this energizer battery recharger contraption that totally fits my batteries, but it doesn't say anything on it about recharging protected lithium ion batteries, so i'm just gonna leave that alone until one of you that knows better and gives me the go ahead on that one.

thank you, thank you, thank you for the Reo Love!!

Did you get the Pila? The energizer one is the wrong voltage.

 

[pianoguy]

I don't think the Energizer charger will work. I'd go with a Pila, or an UltraFire WF-139 or WF-188.

 

[Mudflap]

hint hint

 

[bmwjen]

No, (instead of doing the RIGHT thing & following everyone's advice), I didn't get the Pila. I got the charger listed under "related items" under the 3 pack of batteries that I bought at Lighthound.

I had a feeling that the "energizer" one was the wrong voltage.

Mudflap for the WIN!!! Thanks for the "hint, hint". I see that it's pretty much a "fake battery" screw in each end with the live wire making a direct current. My husband understands better than me, but says that that could actually be used as a spacer!!! LOVE IT!!! If my batteries die before the spacers get here, best be sure my hubby will be rigging this up.

 

[mlinky]

It's OK bmwjen, I don't understand Mudflap's hint either, but I'm looking forward to someone figuring it out.

 

[Mudflap]

You bought the DSD 2 Station Charger, didn't ya? Yeah, rig up a couple of homemade spacers, and keep your 14500's charged up.

Enjoy that Mini!

I do believe that the first picture is of a tasty pastry. Isn't it a Mexican pastry? Anyway they sell them at cisco for a buck......I love them.
And the other two things conduct electricity pretty well. Just stick them between the battery and the charger.
At least that was my take.

LOL!!!

It's a wooden dowel.

LOL!!!

It's a wooden dowel.

Looks like a churro!

 

[Pneathery]

It does look like a churo ;-)
God I love them......

 

[bmwjen]

yes, you can rig up the dowel rod with the screws to the 12 guage wire to make a direct current & use it as a spacer.

Pneathery, wow, you are sooooooo right, quitting smoking IS priceless!
