Ok... so i finally got my lazy *** to upload some pics.
But i do have some technical challenges to overcome :blush:

It's a beaut', isn't it?

So i had the Reo for a couple of weeks... and i am more than pleased with it.

Actually i was blown away from the flavour i got of this. Best flavour... EVER!
I never had such a tasty vape... on anything. And i tried a lot of stuff...
510/306es, Carto-tanks, and some pretty high-end RBAs... the DID, the Taifun GT,
the Squape, a Trident V2. None of them got anything on the Reo + Reomizer.

I wonder what makes the flavour so good? The small atomizer chamber?
The ceramic bottom (maybe doesn't "cook" the juice as much)?

At first i was dismayed with the tight draw... tried it without wick and thought: wth??!?
But everything properly set up it turned out that i really LOVE the draw for mouth-inhales,
which is my prefered method anyway (although i do both). The comparatively small airhole
probably also got something to do with the outstanding flavour?

I tried running it with a kick2. Good news: It stays firmly in place, with the 2 contact-posts that the
kick2 now has. I shook and rattled it as hard as i could without the kick getting dislodged.
Bad news... it drains the battery super-fast if left unattended for some hours. Anybody knows
what is going on here? (i did scrape off the paint on the inside to make some bare-metal-contact). If i don't get it to work that is no big deal either, since the vape is great and consistent enough with a 18650.

What else is there to say? Hmmm... I like the button, it works well, incl. the locking mechanism,
although i'd like that extra button-top that is available for more comfort.
Also the Reo lies surprisingly good in the hand... really comfortable... hard to put down ;)

I was a bit hasty when ordering, so i forgot to order the repair kit and the button covers.
I'll wait for that new sub-ohm kit that comes out soon and order it with that.
Not that i want to do sub-ohms with my Reo... but can't hurt with some extra efficiency.

So... that's my thoughts on the Reo... for now :vapor:
Here's a family picture with my provari and nem (they are still loved as well, if that's ok with you;) )

Welcome, beautiful Reo! As far as I'm concerned, variety is the spice of life! I'll probably have more REO's than anything, but I still plan to get a Provari to replace the cheaper tube mods I acquired along the way, because there are times I enjoy using a tube mod, and my Kamry K101 will always be in the rotation for testing juices before I commit them to the REO. Don't want to waste juice that isn't ready yet! :)

Thanks guys!

and thanks Reoville! You guys are the best.
Not only exceedingly welcoming, friendly and helpful,
but also really knowledgeable. I learned a lot reading
around here and i feel there's lots more still.
Didn't microcoils kind of originate here?
I'm also trying out vaping unflavoured... seems to be popular in Reoville :vapor:
Well... for now it's inawera dirty base... this Dirty Neutral Base - Dirty Neutral Base 12 100 ml -
very nice... with a little flavour. ;) A slight ashiness and pepperiness. Hard to explain... more like a feel on the exhale.

Yes. The first micro coil was born on an RBA that was on a REO grand owned by this REOnaut right here :)

That particular REO grand is very significant. Not only did it sport the first micro coil, it was the same REO that I eventually sent to pdib to try (he very quickly sent me cash for it rather than send it back) converting him from micro coil loving tube steaker into one of the most inspiring young REOnauts I've ever known.

The force is strong here in REOvil :)

Glad to have you among us :)
