take a look at the reo's...they are really nice, bottom feeding, and awesome....did i tell you i really like mine?

Mods
+1
i like using the bottom feeders because they are less hassle for me. fill it up and go....no refilling all day


i suppose the various tanks are now offering that same convenience for others

its hard to argue when it comes to bottomfeeders cause they are the best....and tho there are many good ones out there and of them all the REO still has my favor....
 
I have looked at the Reos and find them very interesting. I like that they are juice fed. Can you use an atomizer with a drip tip or do you need to use cartomozers. Any leakage issues? How hard do they hit?

I have never heard of the Phidias, they look really nice. I have the same questions about the Phidias as I do about the Reos.

Thank you for your help!

Well, I second Erfmann on the Reos. My opinion can't hold too much weight yet, though, since I've only been using my new Reo Grand for less than 2 days! LOL. But I do like it so much that I ordered a Mini and Woodville today through the classifieds. So, obviously, I'm really, really impressed with it. I am using a Cisco 306 LR 1.5 atty on it which I'm sure helps. They seem made for each other. I wasted (well not really wasted)...I've spent a lot of money on ecigs and accessories but I think with the Reos and the Cisco LR 306's, I've found my sweet spot. I'm a happy camper and can't see how anyone could go wrong with this combination. I've never had such a good experience right out of the box with anything else so far...and I've bought quite a lot.

If I may Smokin "TheCouds" add a bit of weight to you comment from some who started here on page #2 http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/95123-reo-lounge-reo-grand-opening-sale-2.html#post1438667 of page 9146 i have to agree with you. :)

IMHO any VV mod with dual coil cartos... I have the parts on the way to make my own as the dual coil cartos on my EGO usb have changed everything. 1.25 Duals at 3.2V = huge TH/Vapor/Flavor... Battery life suffers dramatically however.

I will say that I have never tried an atty however so I can't comment on DD or bottom feeders in comparison.

Reos are great, I've been waiting about 12 years to get one (not really, but a loooong time) .. they are always out of stock! I got a instock notice the other day and by the time I clicked through the link to the website, they were out of stock again. (12 seconds later)

But, if you want to try different voltages for a cheap price, if no one has mentioned it yet, get a Age verification | SparkPlugforSmokers.com .. you get a free thermo tube that allows you to vape at 6v as well as the 3.7 v sparkplug. There's a thread about the unit here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/181295-sparkplug.html

I know a fair complaint of REOs BUT when 60-90 go out the door in sometimes less than an hour its saying something about the product. He makes as many as he can while maintain quality. As mention above I use to have to bump the thread back when he started just to get peoples attention....not so much anymore :) And you can get other great mods from other suppliers just a FYI from someone who learned the hard way...if its not ready to ship...dont send the money!!

Yup .. I'm glad he maintains his quality standards too. I would much rather wait a few months to get one than have him change something and mass produce them, lowering the quality of the mod. I did email him and he gave me the heads up as to when they will be back in stock so maybe I'll get lucky soon. No, I'm not telling. Not til after I get mine :p

Another option is to checkout the classifieds for someone selling one. I'll admit REOs are not for everyone or you can put in an add [WTB] want to buy. You might get lucky. :)

Oh I stalk the classifieds. Problem is, I have to have a certain color and that is the most important thing to me .. I don't need another mod. I don't need anything .. I Love my Go-Go ... I just want a pretty colored auto feeder mod to play with. And his are the prettiest. Oh and I hear they rock too. And the color doesn't peel off in a couple months. At least I've never heard of that being a problem with Reos.

I can attest to that, unsure. I just nabbed not one...but TWO Reos earlier today! One was a Blue/Black Reo Mini pending sale but I PM'd the seller to let him/her know that I'd buy it if the sale fell through. And it did. The other was a Woodville. I purchased them both within an hour.

Ok. So I decided on a mod and I got it on Monday. I went with the Copper Q2v3. It's awesome! Great vapor production, good TH, nice flavor (using Ikenvape cartos). I am extremely happy with the Q. I love that it's completely mechanical. Rick at Atmos is a great guy, very help and his customer service is unbeatable.

I eventually want to get a small juice fed mod (I'm thinking the Reo Mini) for when I go out, but that's down the line a bit. Right now I can't put the Q down.

I sure wish I had found this post before I selled out a $100.00 bill on the ProVape1, Talk about a a hunk of junk. It's a nice looking hunk of junk, but it's still just a hunk of junk. It is resting in the bottom of a drawer, and I have decide to stick with the Riva 1100. Maybe some of the other mods listed here are good, but save your money if your thinking about buying the ProVape1.

@pa pa t: I'm sorry to hear that the ProVape 1 didn't work out for you, that stinks. Thanks for the heads up about it. Yes, all the mods mentioned on this thread are great. I went with the Q2v3 Copper because I wanted something completely mechanical and indestructible (yes there are vids of people running over Coppers with their cars and then vaping on it). Plus for $70 you get a great mod that vapes like a champ. Of course, the Reos, Omega, and others are excellent albeit more pricey.
