Building coils for the RM2 is as easy as it gets. Plus, it's not like you're going to need to do this every week (especially if you build something like a microcoil with cotton wicking - those things can be rewicked and cleaned so they last months, if you want).

Your drop back and punt is to use cartomizers (a BF mod will fill just about anything with holes in the bottom) or a BF-enabled 510/808 dripping atty. These were what were used on the Reo before all the RDA's became available and they don't require you to build anything. As you can probably gather, most of us prefer the RDA route, however.

Either way, coil building shouldn't be a deal breaker for you.

I might add that if you use READYxWICK, you don't have to re-wick until you re-coil your atty.... I've got a few coils almost 6 months old. Just dry burn the coil with the wick in it and your ready to go...

dude don't be intimidated by coil building for the REO. I started rebuilding Protank heads - *that* was a pain but I got good at it and even it wasn't bad after a few tries. Then I got a KFL. So much easier than the Protank coils, but i found and find the wick difficult to get right. The REO? I just got my REO today. The RM2 is ridiculously easy to build on, the coil for sure and the wick seems less finicky to get right than anything else I've tried. all that said I'm gonna make a new coil tomorrow cause I think I did a thing or two wrong on mine and just wanna be sure I've got a good long lasting coil. but is it hard to do? no, I'm pretty sure a 10 year old could build this thing, seriously. it's just well designed and intuitive.

So, my daily routine is: Insert fresh bottle of ejuice, insert fresh battery.

As I am about to walk out the door with the pockets full of items I need and the 30 lb bag of gear I have to carry every day and thinking through all the details of the stuff I have to accomplish before I get to come home.... Yup. The one thing that is completely minimalistic and uncomplicated is that: - Insert bottle - insert battery - place in shirt pocket - *period*. No thinking about or doing stuff regarding my nicotine until tomorrow.

Well said - well spoken - well done a/p.

Just Me, I am also lazy. I only build coils when I absolutely have to. But I do two or three at a time since they are so easy and quick to do. They will last me quite a while, but maybe not as long as others as I'm pretty hard on my coils. I use thick, flavored juice at times. Still, this is *SO* much easier than dealing with the tanks (read flooding) & mods I used to put up with.

I do carry a spare bottle of juice, a drip tip, a coil, some cotton, and a battery just in case. But the cool thing is it all fits in a 18490 double battery case. Easy to just toss in my purse. I've never had to use these items while out. In fact, this reminds me that I should probably charge that battery up.

Right now, I have 2 Provaris (one has never been unwrapped yet) and use evods, don't have any problems at all with the setup. No leaking, no gurgling, no dry hits, nada. I have some mini Protanks and mini Davides, but I haven't really used them much. A couple of days ago, I did place an order for the new Nautilus mini BVC, just to see what it is like.

But when/if I ever want to get another mod, all the testimonials for the REO are very convincing. Thank you, everyone, for all the info. :)

Yep.. they're that simple! I used to enjoy tinkering with stuff but since getting my REOs.. I've become a lazy vaper. I change my wick every other day or three (I like flavored juice) and that only takes a couple minutes. My daily routine is change the batt and refill the bottle. I still mess around with my kayfuns and provari's but (I NEVER thought I would say, much less admit this) they've taken a back seat now.

I've become a lazy vaper also. Sure is nice to have a consistent fiddle free device. I don't mind fiddling when I want to, but I despise to fiddle when I have to.

Look at it this way, there is ZERO risk in trying a Reo. You can pick one up, give it a shot, and if for some reason it isn't for you someone will take it off your hands either here in Reoville or on the classies super fast.

Reos are what they are but here's the catch... they are perfectly what they are. They don't light up, no bells or whistles. They are just incredibly well designed, elegant, reliable, and a true pleasure to use.

I didn't notice it mentioned here, but you don't have to use a rebuildable on the REO if you don't want to. You can also use standard atomizers/cartomizers & change them whenever they get worn out.

But I agree with everyone here in that building on the RM2 is super easy. I build a new coil every 2-3 months & do a dry burn/rewick about once a week.

Also, yes the REO is for sure the best device I've ever used & once I got mine the search for the perfect vape stopped.

I mean honestly man, how could it be any better than this. Sure it's a lot of money, but it's not expensive compared to what this offers. It offers sanity LOL. Coiling for dummies, wicking for dummies, quick and easy everything...perfect hit every time less a need to squonk, And squonking is almost a lustful, sensual act in and of itself LOL

Get a REO dude. your worries are over.
