thanks for the vid, Nico! I liked the looks of the REO grand VV,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I am assuming they sell extra bottles and what not???

Oh yeah, bottles, etc are inexpensive.

The REOs may work great, but to me, they look like they were put together from a kit in someone's basement, not machined to perfection. Maybe if they made one that looked nice, I'd pick one up.

Provari owner for one day. Not to stereotype, but you're going to fit right in. This is why there's so much Provari hate on ECF... and not for the mod. FWIW.

Yeah, I don't need to keep fiddling with mine to get a good vape. Once I check the resistance and set power accordingly, I'm good to go until I run out of juice or switch tanks.

Bashing a Provari because of the display and having to use 1 button is just ridiculous. Once you set your voltage and know your resistance of what your using, theres no need to go through the menu. Unless you want to check your battery, which I cant see you needing to do every hour...

You can't dispute the fact that a REO looks like something put together with spare parts. As I stated, it may work great, but I like things that look nice.

I have a ProVari and a Reo. I'm a happy vaping caterpillar! They are completely different systems and complement each other nicely. They are trucks. I like trucks, I'm on my second pick-up.

Steve - have you seen a Reo in person? I don't care for the two color design, but I have a solid red sparkly one and it couldn't be more precisely machined. The pictures on the website don't do it justice.

Just my opinion, but I don't think Vamo is something I would want to carry around when out and about, I use a 1300 mah Spinner and a small box mod know as a V8. Small, light, powerful enough for my needs, and best of all inexpensive, so if I destroy it or lose it, I am not going to lose much sleep over it.

Vamo can be used as a club if you frequent suspect neighborhoods and establishments.

We are all different though, I would get the Provari first, then a decent mech if you still want one. If the world turns so bad that you can not keep the Provari running, I doubt vaping would be a high priority activity anyway.

No, I've only seen them in pictures. Maybe that's the case. Perhaps REO should hire a professional photographer for their catalog, because the first impressions I get aren't great. The one in the video looks like it is made out of plastic, though.

I completely agree. I was looking for a good picture of one like mine, but they all look awful. This one is sort of okay for the shape, although it doesn't capture the sparkles:

They are machined out of a solid piece of metal.

what worries ME about the REO (and it might not even be worth worrying about),,,,,,,

how do you know how much to sqeeze the thing?

and what do you use on top? you can't use a tank,,,,,,,right??? (forgive me, obviously a noob about REOs),,,,,,,,,a carto?????? does it get wet enough with a squeeze???????

I believe if you squeeze too much the excess will just drip right back down into the tank

Squeeze it enough to compress it, hold it a second, then release it. The juice that wasn't absorbed mostly gets sucked back down, and the rest will gravity feed down. You can't flood it.

You can start out with disposable cartos and/or attys, stay there if you like (as does The Ocelot), or go with a rebuildable dripping atomizer that has a hole through the 510 connector (bottom fed compatible). The most popular for the REO is the Reomizer 2.0 but there are others that will work.
