once go mech, you never go back!!! I upgraded from my ego starter kit to mechs (before VV/VW was a big thing) and i keep buying them! I have some VV/VW mods, but theres something about my mechs i love. Not a reo fan, so i dont have much advice about that, but i personally don't like sub ohm vaping that much. I normally use 32 gauge kanthal and shoot for a 1.3 ohms microcoil. good luck!
