Funny thing is when I first saw the Reo, I had a very similar reaction along with the "Hmmm, that's an odd-looking, perhaps even ugly mod... And my! Not cheap either!"
Like many here my journey in the world of vaping has been: Cigalikes; eGo with various cartotanks; exploring the world of e-juice; discovering boutique juice vendors; dripping; rebuildable drippers; a big jump to a Provari with a nice Genesis tank and a love of rebuilding in general; yet more toppers; DIY juices...
Now, I'd liked dripping the first time I tried it, but it was kinda a pain in the ... (giving a bottle a gentle squeeze every now and then really isn't, for the record), but it was doing DIY juices that really brought dripping back to the forefront. I was, after all, testing lots of my mixes and dripping is the way to do this. And I discovered that I really liked dripping! The flavor, the rich vapor... but still a pain in the .... This was when I started to reconsider the Reo.
- Dripping without the pain of dripping? You've got my attention.
- Rebuildable you say? You've really got my attention.
- A mechanical mod? I've always understood the appeal of mechanicals, but the safety aspect always bothered me. Many don't have adequate venting so you have a potential pipebomb in your hand. Hmmm, that Reo has a great big hole in it, that battery can vent its ... off and I'm not worrying about shrapnel. You've got my attention.
- Oh ....! You can wash it in the sink? You've got my attention.
- Milled out of a solid block of Aluminum? Pretty much indestructable? Okay, you've really, really got my attention.
- An amazing vape? I kept reading testimony after testimony from people on this forum I trusted about the quality of the vape. (Granted, dripping.) You've got my attention.
- Pretty much leak proof? Travel friendly? Okay, let's talk.
I didn't start out liking the Reo. But as I learned more about vaping and learned what was disruptive and irritating about vaping (at least for me) the more I came to
understand the Reo and its design.
