I am looking at a second Reo in a smaller size. I have the Grand and love it. Could someone give me an approximation in percentage of battery life I am going to have on a 14500 and a 18490 vs a 18650 2000 mah IMR?
Need help deciding on a second

The mini 2.0 18490 will last for 3 mils of juice. The 14500 would have to be changed at least twice before the 3 mils is gone. If that helps any!
Any idea what voltage you currently pull your batts off of your grand at now ???
If your like me and pull them at 3.8ish for lack of power you will find the 14500 pretty much useless IMHO ...
I know I did
A lot of people love their 14500 minis but I never really thought the grand was big ......
So sacrificing so much batt life for something even smaller seemed silly to me.
Plus I have a pretty strong dislike for the 3ml bottles. They squonk different and fill different with the smaller top. Just didn't seamlessly fit into my current grand workflow.
But if it were me and you want smaller its a one horse race 18490 all the way.

I'm with you Tim- that's why I go through 3 14500's on my mini's but I still love them.
I think the mini 2.0 with the 18490 battery is the way to go...but once you go mini you just love these guys!!

I had to teach Pietro how to do that, left to his own devices he has no imagination whatsoever.
With a 2.5 to 3ohm carto it will knock your socks off but really comes into it's own with and RBA which allows you to find your personal sweet spot.
I use an ERA, (even though by doing so I'm constantly told I'll be responsible for the end of humanity as we know it), and wrap coils in the neighborhood of 2.5 to 2.7 ohms with either bamboo yarn or cheesecloth wicks, the combination producing very good vapor, flavor and TH.
The two batteries get me through slightly over half of the three ml bottle so one spare set gives me more than enough power for an entire night out. I find that the small, black, zippered case that Mrs. T's Bakery included in my one and only order is perfect for holding two batteries, an extra bottle of juice and a carto in case I pop a coil on the ERA.
Although the VV Grand certainly gives you more versatility the Mini, with two 14250's provides a knock your socks off vape in a tiny sized package that can't be beat.
(Pietro never even thanked me for my vape changing advice. These young'uns never show respect for their wiser elders.)

I am with Tim on the 3 ml bottles, they are hard to fill. I finally bought a 1 ounce bottle with a dripper to fill mine.
My only REOs are mini 18490. Batteries do last all day for me.
I used to fill the bottle with a dropper bottle, but now I just syringe directly from the glass 60ml bottle that I store my juice in directly into the 3ml REO bottle.
I used hole saw bits and drilled holes sized to fit the REO bottle and the juice bottle in some packing foam to reduce the chance of spillage when filling the bottle.

14250 fit the reo mini 14500 right ? Are there bigger batteries for reo 2.0 18490 to 6v.

The batteries shown were too big to fit in the Mini, they should work in the Mini 2.0!
Stacking LIFePO4 batteries is still scary for me because of the reports of blowout. I hesitated to post this as it's been awhile since I'v read discussion about and I don't have time to find links. If I am remembering correctly there are some brands that may be safer for stacking. I simplified for myself by just not using them stacked.
