Need help deciding between the bogger box and the reo

[mayday_]

I'm ordering a bottom feeder in a few days and I cant decide between these two devices. I have a provari that I love but the mech aspect of the reo interests me, Then again I am already spoiled by VV and am now even more confused.
Any advice for this lost soul in the bottom feeding abyss?

Well, FWIW....both REO and Bogger offer VV options.

Of course, it sort of defeats the "mechanical" aspect. But, whatever!

I was actually thinking about the dna 20 with the bogger but with the wood you have to bring up durability concerns. The Reo Grand would be nice for the mech but i'm not sure how I will feel about the battery drop off

also if I went VV Reo Grand i'm already at the price point of the bogger with the dna 20 oh the horror of options

I dunno I never really saw the need for a VV on a bottom feeder. Use low resistance atmozier/cartmomizer/rebuildable or what have you and it will hit really hard. If it starts to hit less hard switch the battery. Could always get a Reo grand and a kick.

Do you have a reo?

I got a VMOD xl right now which is very similar but made of much cheaper materials. I love it so much I traded almost all my other gear for two Reo's that should be here monday.

Let me know how you like them. I'm reading into the kick

I have a REO mini and a grand AND a bogger. I would go with the REO. Rock solid, smaller profile, backed up by awesome service. I am not a VV fan, I use LR atties which seems to work fine for me. I'm sure someone who has a VV will chime in soon enough!

Thanks for the tip! Have any of you tried the reomizer they have?

I am impatiently waiting for a boggers DNA20 Redwood Lace Burl / Wenge can't wait! I have a few VVGs and a VVW Reo solid mods can't go wrong with a reo. I have a few of the old sytle reomizers they work pretty good no complaints

I'm looking at the same decision between Reo and Bogger, but vv for each, so I will be interested in the feedback you get.

The only reason I'm thinking mech is so I have something that'll last if it breaks I can fix it myself

Let me know how you like it. I love the way they look but it's so humid here I'm not sure i trust wood mods

I've had my reo for two years and bought it used. I sent it to Rob a few months ago because I thought it wasn't working, and he sent it back to me, said it was fine. Duh! Must have been my batteries. Who knows. I wash it in the sink once a week. If you get a VV, you won't be able to do that. But I do like it. He sells a little repair kit too.

I think I'm going grand and ill just get a kick for it now I have to wait for the one I want to get in stock

 

[Caridwen]

That's really a good option. So is the mini 2.0 You should post in the Reo forum. You'll get lots of great input.

Reos Mods

They have lots of blemished mods-

I have a standard mini that I sometimes change out the batteries and use 14250 batteries for high voltage.

Well, I was looking at the vv Reo Grands today and was surprised to see one that I liked available. I jumped pretty fast to catch it before it was gone. Whew! I didn't intend to do that today, and kind of took myself by surprise. The order went through. I'm not sure when it will be delivered yet.

Of course I suddenly realized that I didn't have batteries for it and rushed to get those ordered. The last thing I want is for the Reo to arrive and then have to wait a long time for the batteries.

I ordered a Bogger DNA20D non-bottom feed on April 28th (cold feet bout getting a bottom-feed), an hour after placing my order I purchased the Mini Bottom-Feed (18500) Bogger Box and received it today.

I've used it ~60 minutes now and I'm happy. I connected a Bridgeless 510 1.5 Ohm Atty, filled the bottle and began vaping, I'm getting very good Vapor & Flavor off the fresh battery.

The fit & finish is excellent, the door is virtually seamless, and it uses to small magnets to secure it. Removing & replacing the door takes a bit of force, the door fits tightly to the frame, the wiring is neatly run along the inside seam of the Mod, neatly soldered & secured. It is a tight fit for the battery & bottle, but there is no chance of anything working loose, it's a really beautiful looking piece of Art.

As far as the durability factor, I don't think I'll be playing catch, swimming with it or using it while participating in a Sporting Activity. Unless I drop it, it should hold up just as well as a Metal Mod which can dent or scratch just as easily as the Bogger, look at some of the used REOs in the Classys.


I like the Bottom-Feed system (I'm kicking myself over the DNA20D) and plan on adding the DNA20D Bottom-Feed in the near future.

I'm in love with Reo mechanicals. It's very subjective, of course, but I don't seem to notice the difference as the battery drops off to, say, 3.7v, at least not on a coil around 1-1.2 ohm.

Word of warning about the kick -- 10W is not all that much, and in order to fit it in, you have to drop one battery size, which is about half your battery capacity
