Need Some Information Please

The Reos, mini and Grande, are magnificently engineered and superbly manufactured. They deserve to be in some industrial design museum.

They're so simple: unlike most mods, they're electro-mechanical devices and don't rely on electronics. There are only a handful of parts. Everything is replaceable except the case, and that's machined out of a billet of solid aluminum. I suspect a fully loaded over-the-road tractor-trailer could roll over a Reo and the Reo would survive.

The eliquid delivery system consists of a flexible plastic bottle with an O-ring seal to keep it from leaking and a flexible plastic tube which goes between the top of the bottle and the connector for the carto/atty. That connector sits in a receptacle for capturing eliquid overflow from over-squonking. And that liquid either gets absorbed by the atty/carto or trickles back down the tube into the bottle. It couldn't be simpler.

Hairball, congratulations on acquiring a superlative vaping instrument!

I'm not good at describing mods but this is excellent. However, hubby drives a semi and I don't want to find out if it would get squashed...LOL. The very first mechanical mod I had, an Icon, was squashed by it but it was my fault for putting it on a tire while we did a check of everything. Hubby pulled up and well...the rest is left to your imagination. He replaced it for me but as for right now..all of my mods are sitting on the backburner while I use this little beauty.

Shew...I was worried about the leaking back into the body. Thanks all for clearing that up. I ask only because I have the new vmod and hate the damn thing. Leaking is the only thing this mod accomplishes and I've tried to go very easy with it. If I had to rely on the vmod, I would never want a bottom feeder again. However, I'm stubborn and don't give up that easily.

I hope it gets here tomorrow. I'm also happy to hear that the extra juice gets used up...that's always a plus.

Thank you to everyone who replied. I have some new atty's here and waiting for the mini to arrive so I can have at it.

Hi Hairball, I found Reos pricey at first but went with it anyway - BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT ON VAPING! Clean, easy to use, a pleasure to travel with, the perfect tool for my quit!

Welcome to Reovil - I like to say it's where our quits are made safe and satisfying and we're the happiest vapers you ever want to meet

I can see this being a big plus with traveling and driving. We are going out of town for the day on Saturday and this is going with me. I'm looking for a cell phone case to slide it into so I don't have to worry about losing the door or scratching it. It's too awesome to get boogered up.

Don't forget to take an extra battery or two and an extra atty or carto -- I found my batteries last about 3 to 4 hours - but I like changing them at 3 because I don't like the vape when the battery power gets to low.

so I don't have to worry about losing the door

I don't think you'll have to worry about the door. It has a very unique zippo style feel to it.

Very nice and smooth, but you can't really open it by accident, because of the magnets that click it into position. Even if you did, nothing will fall out by mistake.

I always used a piece of electrical tape around the battery, as described in the guide, which makes it extra snug, and also easier to remove by making a tabbed end on it. The tape can also make the door extra slow to slide, so you really can't open it in error (not that it would matter on the Reo). The only downside of using the tape method is that you won't be able to fit them into your other mods, but that won't be an issue if you keep two batteries dedicated for it.

hairball, if you're looking for a holster, I have one of Griff leather ones on the way. Check out this special $19.95 inc shipping http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...iffs-leather-mod-holsters-17.html#post3874592 He has the skull and eagle left. The dragon is sold because it is coming to me

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

I haven't heard of anyone driving over one with a Semi, but we do know that you could with a Jeep.

*edit...although, I really don't recommend it.

 

[hairball]

Eagle holster will be on it's way. I saw those last night and WOW what beautiful work.

Not the skull? Who doesn't like a skull?

Er, yeah. Good choice

That really is a steal at $20 too. They look fantastic.

LOL, I've heard nothing but good things about his work, and I prefer a lanyard to a belt clip, so I was really excited when I saw Ma'am's post about these.

I pondered the skull. I'm getting too old to do the badazz look...LOL. I choose the eagle...genuine and all American...fits better with my age.

Will ship out in the morning. I got tired of looking at cell phone cases and decided it's too nice a mod to put in a cheaply made piece of nylon. It's more deserving in leather.

yay!!!! Hairball picked up a Reo!!!! I surely thought that you had one of these by now!!
I use standard joye 510 attys on mine. I've tried 306, they are too hot for me, but are ok once in a while!!!
Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you!!

Thank you Jen. Nope never thought I would own one.

My bottom feeder journey always left me unsatisfied but that was because I was buying the wrong mods. I'm not bashing them as they serve the purpose but never could see what the rave was all about. The Vmod struck my curiosity even more but still ran into a ton of problems. Like I posted earlier in the thread, I'm bullheaded and wasn't going to give up. I wanted to know why people loved these.

I was online Sunday before having to head for Kansas City for my surgery the following day, only to see 2 mini's posted in the classies. I shot him a PM and received it today. I'm glad the person who originally wanted it backed out. NOW I know why you all love these so much.

Boy was I a dope for not trying one sooner. I've been using it all day since it came this morning.

 

[bmwjen]

i'm so glad you like it!! I bought my first about a month into vaping. I swear I probably would be back on the cigs by now if it wasn't for my Reos.
Tonight after much thought, I decided to dedicate one of mine to menthol............

Right on hairball the mini, and the grand are fantastic I have both. Robs woodvil and mini woodvil bottom feeder mods are a step above. IMHO

 

[Erfmann]

Welcome new Reonauts...

 

[tybin]

good luck with your surgery Hairball

 

[nerak]

Congrats Hairball on your one year smoke free anniversary! A REO is a NICE anniversary gift to yourself!!

 

[hairball]

Thanks everyone...yep 1 year and 2 minutes ago, I quit cigs.

I treated myself to a black/black Grand. I got notification today and I'm jumping out of my skin with joy. I really love this little mod. 2 days and I haven't put it down yet. The Grand will be excellent for when I go out of town for a day.
