WELCOME TO THE TEAM
Glad you made the choice to go with a REO as your first pv/e-cig/mod. It's going to take a little time to get over the learning curve. Once you do then you will not regret your purchase. Especially when it's going to be your first vaping experience. The answers I have for you will be in red. I hope it helps you in the future.

Hi, fist post here in the Reos forum, but I just ordered my Reos yesterday. In fact I have never vaped before and this will be my first experience with this whole thing. I really want to quit smoking cigarettes (been smoking for 20+ years now), and I am hoping this all works out so I can drop those nasty smelly analogs.
So I know I need batteries and a charger (got this worked out and on order, 3.7V AW IMR's), juices (got those coming as well...fruit and vanilla types as I have a sweet tooth), but where I really need help is with the massive array of atomizers to choose from. After reading a lot on the forum, I see many people go with a LR 510? What about the different brands?
Most people like LR 510's since they produce warmer vapor and a stronger throat hit. Remember that vaping is different then smoking. In that you first take a pull like you would a cigar then inhale it afterwards. If you already smoked like that then you'll be fine (like I was). If you were the type that inhaled the smoke all the way through then your going to be in for a rude awakening. Since your gonna cough up a lung.
Cisco? Joye? Are these one in the same?
They are two different brands. Cisco's is one of the few vendors that don't have any primer in them and is an American company (they do get their atomizers specially made/shipped from China. They perform great in that they give a warmer vape, more throat hit, and good flavor as well.
Joye atomizers are from Joyetech (Chinese company). Which do have primer fluid in them. Performance wise, they aren't much different from Cisco atties at all. They do lack a tiny bit of warmth in the vapor and throat hit. Flavor is the same.
Another vendor is Ikenvape:
IkenVape Store
They are another American Vendor that doesn't have any primer fluid included in their atomizers. Which are pretty good but, they have a tighter draw. Which is one of the distinctive qualities of the atomizers from this vendor. Some like it, some hate it. Also, they lack a little bit of variety in ohms compared to cisco with their 510's and 306's.
What about the attys on the ReosMod site? EM? Smok Tech?
EM = eastmall
*These used to be atomizers that many raved about. Haven't tried them so I can't comment on these.
*Smok tech is another Chinese company. Their atomizers are alright to be honest with you.
1.5 Ohm? 1.8 Ohm? 2.0 Ohm? 2.2 Ohm? 2.5 Ohm?
Since your a new vaper. I would suggest you try 1.8 and 2 ohm atomizers. These will work great with your tobacco and dessert flavors. It's good to have both ohms since your just beginning. 1.5 ohms is a favorite of many vapers but, they are finicky in that. If your not careful and feed them correctly.
They die VERY quickly. 2.2 and 2.5 ohms are pretty good at 4.2-5V but, they won't give you a satisfying vape at 3.7V since the vapor will be cool and there will be less throat hit. One thing it will do is give you more flavor and a smoother hit. You have to decide on that one for yourself.
Or should I even go with something other than a 510?
You should stick with a 510 for now since your a beginner. If you did want to go with something different without using an adapter then a 306 works very well. 1.8 and 2 ohms will be more important for you at this point since they are less temperamental.
306's are popular in that they give a warmer vape compared to 510's. One flaw is that they also give a little less flavor as well. There are 4 types of atomizers: 901, 801, 510, and 306. The first gives you more flavor and less TH. The flavor steadily decreases while the TH and warmth increases as you go down the list.
I guess the biggest factor is reliability (I really want this first experience to go well) as well as cost...wife is going to kill me if she finds out how much I spent on the Reos Grand, not to mention everything else. So there is going to be some pain there, but the more I save, the less it will hurt, lol. Please help!
Reliability is not going to be a factor since the mod is mechanical and made from aircraft aluminum. You can consider a REO the Juggernaut of e-cigs. Initially, cost is going to be high. There's no doubt about that. Afterwards, the only things you have to replace is atomizers, cartomizers, e-liquid, and batteries every now and then. So, the cost will decrease during that time.
Also, if you don't go haywire and guy more mods then you should be fine.

...it just feels right.
