The Mini 2.1 has a larger drip well to accommodate most rba's. Size is the same as the Mini 2.0

what's the difference between the mini, the mini 2.1 and the grand?

The mini has a smaller catchcup, so many RBA's won't fit in there, the mini 2.1 has a larger one, so most every RBA fits, the grand will take virtually anything.

That aside, the mini's have 3ml of juice on board and smaller batteries, the grand has 6ml and uses the 18650, so it's pretty much set for the whole day. BTW, be sure to use the AW batteries if you get the grand, the batteries really do make a huge difference.

There's all sorts of testimonials on here that go into great detail, but the bottom line is, a grand (even just using standard 510 attys/cartos) is a simple, convenient way to vape all day without carrying extra juice, attys, bottles, etc.

Just as an aside, the woods have quite a following, but I lean toward the grands because they're all mechanical. What that boils down to is, once every few weeks, you can pull the battery, remove the atty/carto, take out the juice bottle, and wash it in the sink, dry it off and put everything back and you're good to go.

If you have to decide between the REO and the RBA, get the REO first, even with the same atty or carto, it's gonna be a better vape than you're getting now, and with a LOT less fiddling.


EDIT to Add: As usual, Nerak is faster and more thorough than just about anybody, as you can see by her post she made while I was still typing mine

Thank you Thinking I like the look of the grand better, what about performance?

 

[debzcf]

yeah but in the blemished ones there is a purple and I hate the color purple. I am so NOT the girly type and purple just screams girly, so it looks like I am going to have to go full price as there aren't any in the classifieds for sale, (

Neither am I the "girly type" -- you'll never see me in pastels or Lilly Pulitzer (I'm a suit during business hours). Additionally, I've NEVER been attracted to purple. Well, I just added a Mini 2.1 metallic purple to my lil' collection (I also have a Grand Black Wrinkle). I LOVE the purple. I promise, it doesn't scream "girly." It's a rich, dark shade. Step out of your comfort zone!

I smoked nearly 2 packs a day, so you can imagine how much I vape. I put a fresh battery in the grand and a fresh bottle of juice and I'm seriously set for a good 8-14 hours (unless I have a stressful day LOL). As for the actual vape, the mini and grand are the same, grand just lasts longer between battery changes/juice refills.

See...not girly.

Both have a 3.7v battery. The Mini's will rock your vape just like the Grand. The main difference is the smaller bottle and shorter battery life of the Mini. The Mini 2.0 and 2.1 have the small bottle but the battery is bigger and lasts longer than the Mini.

The Grand really is not all that big. As the pic shows the body is the size of a business card. The Mini 2.0 and 2.1 are about the same around as the Grand, just shorter.

 

[Chiku]

Even looking at the pictures I was still surprised at how small the grand really is. It fits in my hands quite easily and comfortably, and I am a girl with small hands. For the extra battery life and how much more juice it holds I think that going with the grand is the better choice.

this purple looks more pink though... http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=30&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3

Yes...I see that. It's a different purple (than mine). Mine is the metallic purple. I prefer my shade.

Don't be put off by the colors on the site, or anywhere else for that matter. It's nearly impossible to get a pic that shows the true color. Every comment I've seen says the purple is much darker and more elegant than anyone expected it to be.

I seem to recall that Rob has some VIDEOs on his site that give a better representation of the color..take a look here (the 5th one down).

 

[Shelbeethehmmrgirl]

ok, I gotta ask... if the quality is that good, why do you need so many within 6 months? is it for different colors or what?

I can answer this with one word, it is REOHoarding, it is a mental condition that occurs when whatever the heck Rob sprinkles REOs with enters the blood stream and goes to your brain. At this point you panic at the thought of your only REO not working, so you justify a back up. Then the disease advances, because at this point what if the zombie apocalypse happens, so you justify buying another REO. At this point you are a pure addict and any color combo that catches your eye will cause you to reach for your credit card. The only cure for this collecting habit is either your broke or you have collected enough Reos you must devote a cupboard in your kitchen to hold them all. At this point you trade, sell or give away your REOs to justify buying another Reo. It is a Vicious cycle and one that can not be broken. Most have learned to embrace it and create one of the best vaping communities that I have ever seen.

REOHoarding? hahahaha

My sister tells me it's (my little collection) a sickness (as she's puffing on a Marlboro). Hmmmmmm.

Boy, Shel!!! You have hit it on the head! If we're not buying REOs, we're trading for REOs!

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

yeah I don't like that color... besides if I got a Grand I wouldn't have to buy new batteries... lol

Yes...I see that. It's a different purple (than mine). Mine is the metallic purple. I prefer my shade.

 

[Shelbeethehmmrgirl]

Well now it has an official name, I will be contacting the AMA to show proof that this is a true disease. I might even lobby for a telathon to raise money for those that suffer from the disease and are broke to buy more REOs. Now I don't think any of this will come to pass but everyone has to have a dream!

I am 100% a REOhoarder, I have just hit the broke part and at this point am not ready to trade away either of my grands. But I may look through what I have in the vaping box and try to pony up some money. But Then I would spend it and not have money for a VV Woodville. SOOOO torn about this.

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

lol is this what I have to look forward to?

 

[Shelbeethehmmrgirl]

Yes, but don't be afraid there are plenty of us here to walk you through this disorder and provide support.

Well, the AMA just labeled obesity a "disease." I think I'd classify REOHoarding as a disorder.
