Finally! Coworker ponied up and bought that Kato hammer! And for 25 bucks over asking price! I feel free! No longer chained down to that hammer! I need a better job!

Anyways, for anyone who didn't already know from all my prior threads, I feel like I won an Emmy.

The only questions left are black or orange(vote on it, I'm torn! ), and what other accessories should I buy from Rob? IE. How many bottles, tube, button cover, springs, etc. What do I need that I don't know I need. I want to get all that, then head over to kidney puncher and grab some 1.5 atties and a couple batteries. GAAAAH SO EXCITED!

Congrats! Black; one full repair kit; handful of extra bottles; aluminum button.


yeah I'll get my REO soon as I get home but I wish I would have ordered extra screws and what not for my RMv2. I got like 6 extra bottles just in case so I'd definitely recommend that, how many is up to you but they're cheap :)

Glad you finally got that thing sold!

Why not get a black with an orange door? or orange with a black door?

For accessories I'd get: a couple spare bottles (it comes with 2 to start with), at least 1 spring, and a button cover of your choice (they're all nice but I prefer the metal ones)

I'd also highly recommend picking up a Reomizer 2, some 28ga kanthal, and some sterile cotton. It really makes the Reo shine.

Since the Sub Ohm rebuild kit are coming soon, I'd wait on the full rebuild kit but would get a spare spring. If you have a short you'll need to replace the spring. Yes to the button and maybe a spare tube or get the bottle with a tube. When you can you should really try an RM2 or Igo-S RBA.

And boom goes the dynamite. Useful information. Thank you kindly.

About time, right? Is it hard to get the taste out of an old bottle? Not tripping up over 65 cents but just curious. The RM will come eventually, just not yet. And as for orange, I'm most likely going with full orange. I have a realtree/blaze orange phone case that grew on me, thought the orange would compliment it nicely. Maybe go general Lee, or slap on a Browning buck sticker or some other similar hillbilly nonsense. I are country.

Congrats. And you must post a picture of the new reo when you get it. I vote black. Also I agree that you should get an rm2 when you get a chance. Also a button cover. And a spring. And all the bottle you could ever need. And if you get the rm2 I would get some of the screws because although I havent lost one, I know many have.

I forgets - you were gonna wait on the RBA because of $$$ issues? Right?

If that's still true:

If I hadda choose between those colors I vote black or black with orange door.

I would get an extra battery spring.

I would get one or two extra bottles. I have extras, but I just use one anyway. You get two, I think, with the Reo.

If you want a button cover - get it. But that isn't a necessity.

My next priority would be batteries and charger if needed.

I would hold off on a full rebuild kit. You have to do something pretty bad to really need that. And with the sub ohm rebuild kits right around the corner - I would just hold off on that at this point.

Yay! Reo!

    Isn't it unique how we all see the same thing, but we SEE it differently ourselves?

    You see the Black/Orange reo, and you think, hunting, rifles, General Lee muscle car. Perfect comparisons.

    me?

    I see that sex on wheels Orange with Black Door Reo, and the thing which IMMEDIATELY jumps in my mind, is my unicorn, the Porsche GT3 RS. For Example- http://hdwallpappers.com/images/wallpapers/Porsche-997_GT3_RS_Wallpaper.jpg

    I SoOoOoOoO want that Reo.

    Just recommended the full kit as you get about one of everything for a good price. At $7 or so for shipping on each order, seems like a good way to go.

    different strokes.
    Guy at work has the green rs. Kinda hate him for it. Maybe I'm crazy but my dream car is anything by icon 4x4. That failing, I'd kill for a Buick GNX.

    I say go full out and put a real tree skin on your door on the orange body. Big ol buck on the back. You can always get a tuxedo next time! J.k. Whatever you decide, you will love. Just a thought, an rm2 lasts pretty much forever, how many cartos is that? You could also get an LP, and bf mod an Igo l for $10. Whatever you do, have fun and welcome!

    That's funny you mention the GNX bro :). I too have an affinity for them.

    This grand sorta always reminds me of a GNX.

    A sleeper if you will to the unknowing. Once upon a time I was unknowing about the Buick "supercar" until getting embarrassed by one in a trans am :)

    Yes they look kinda plain from a side view sitting beside you at a stop light and the tail end looks even more plain as it quickly disappears from sight :)


    Congrats and welcome. :)

    I say get what ever makes you happy. I live in the Appalachians, even my sneakers are realtree w/ orange trim (and I am a female), I had a winter realtree J-wrap on my MVP before I gave it to one of my sons. You have me thinking I should get an orange door for my black grand and put the Browning deer on it..... hmmm

    Glad you finally found a home for the Hammer, welcome to Reoville :D
