Okay, looking for a consensus...

I'm pretty new here so please excuse me if this is bad advice, but, I received a reo last week and placed a vision eternity on it. Done. As far as I know, the only problem with the vision is it may leak through the bottom which is bad for tube mods but great fot the Reo! I haven't had any problems with this set up. Seems to be a quality rba, however, I don't hear about them very often so maybe I just got lucky.

The Vision Eternity is a fine RBA. Main problem with it is its height. Way dwarfs our smaller REOs. And with fixed center positive post it won't fire on all of them.

I would change several things on the VE including an option for leaving out the center, spike section, for BF or dripping. Also, the little piece of silica, hanging down from spike isn't needed for BF. After a time, I'm sure it will begin to fray and disintegrate.

With all that said, it's one of the prettiest RBAs, in my not so humble opinion.

Just saying (of course I love my ERAs and Hornets!!!!) for those who don't have a lot of funds for vaping stuff the A7 Mini is a great solution. They aren't going to hold their value as much as ERA and Hornet, though. But $20 vs $75 is a huge factor for many people.

Thank you so much for the link, Karen. Ugh, cheeks are really, really red for asking for the group consensus here, when I should've just examined the stickies. I don't know why my eyes always gravitate towards the standard threads, and I tend to overlook the threads that have been stickied for a reason! And blue being my favorite color, it should certainly be the other way around. Won't do it again; and, hopefully my error will help out a couple other folks with this strange, annoying penchant.

Beckyblue, I am glad you started this thread as I am busy researching RBAs also. I appreciate all of the replies thus far. I am learning a lot and people's opinions change over time so I think revisiting a topic is a good idea. There are so many new devices coming out it is hard to keep up with all of them.

Becky, I think this is a good thread. We don't mind talking (can you tell???) about REOs and RBAs and everything else. Ask anything you want and don't feel bad. Worst case, someone here will just link a thread into the new one. jeapa is right....opinions change as we try new stuff. I have enjoyed reading this thread and have learned new stuff, too. The whole RBA phenomenon is pretty recent and new things are coming on the market (or to our attention) all the time. We're all learning this stuff as we go.

I've resisted re-posting in this thread to avoid pushing it back up to the top of the normal threads, but I've so appreciated both all that has been offered here, as well as all that's in the sticky. I'll stick to the sticky from here on out, but had to come back here (once) just to thank you all a million!

No problem pushing this to top. And it brings it to the attention of people who can benefit from the discussion. With RBAs being so new it will be a long time before a lot of vapers even know about them. So having this thread visible is good for everyone.

Yeah, I was thinking about posting a similar thread before I found this one.

I vote for the Hornet love mine and it fits all Reos

Sent while Hyper Vapin a Trippy Tipped Reo

 

[lazyymatt]

Me too for the Hornet! I drilled out the hole to 1/16 recently and it is just the best thing ever! Now my next biggest decision will be either get a Chalice for the Grand or get a VV Grand... tough decision...

Matt you need a chalice for the vv grand so sorry to your bank acct

Becky I e only used the chalice and the Era so for what u have now I'd suggest the hornet. Same as an era just smaller to fit all reos. The chalice is the Cadillac but pricey and won't be available for months it seems.

 

[lazyymatt]

LOL DAMN YOU JUSTICE!! I made a post earlier about making this decision and the consensus seems to be that I need both. I think I'm going to get the VVG soon since the Chalice won't be out for awhile.

I haven't even received my RG yet, and reading all these threads about RBAs has got me thinking I need to go that route. So this thread is welcomed by many, to try and distill a lot of the great wisdom spread throughout all the other threads for RBA newbs like us!
