I have two Provaris and several other APV's, but no Reos.

Am I right in saying, if you like building your own coils, messing with different wicks, optimizing the proper ohms, learning just how much to squank, etc. the Reo is for you.

If you just want to put some juice in any of dozens of available tanks, and vape away carefree, the Provari is for you.

Seems like a simple choice.

Not everyone does, I don't.

no not quite right. You can use a normal dripping atty with a REO and never ever muck with building coils. You can also put any device with a 510 threading on a reo and just not use the bottom feed. You can use ego threaded devices on a REO with an adapter.

But why would anyone want to do any of those things with a Rio? And doesn't a dripping atty need coils? I have some RBA's that I use on my Provaris.

I wouldn't use Ego stuff on any of my APV's, much less a Rio.

Don't get me wrong. I very well may get a Rio. I'm getting everything else. But doesn't the OP need to know what he's (or she if she's a girl[very important to say that, because you shouldn't just always assume it's a guy, because some girls don't like that and will get very biocthy on your ...]) getting into?

I only recently started using an RBA on my REO. For the last 2 years I was using cartos at 6v and thought I had found nirvana. I didn't use the internal bottle ever. I just top filled the cartos to get a more consistent fill.

Then the RBA bug got me and now I can wrap and wick a coil faster than filling a carto.

Reo's were out well before rebuildable atomizers. Mine is three years old.

I got mine for the convenience, I use atomizers or shorty cartos. It's small, I wash it in the sink once a week and it's good to go.

I am not ever going to rebuild a tank, atty, fool with wicks, etc. That's just not for me. I want easy and a Reo is as easy as it gets. If I use a tube mod, I use carto/tanks. I don't fiddle.

Of course many people (most people) probably aren't like me, and if you aren't they work great too. But it's a misconception that you have to.

Dripping atty...note the hole in the bottom this would work on a reo

I'm not a fiddler, nor much of a re-builder. The RM2 was my first re-build. I build a coil at about 1.2 oHms and use it for a few weeks to a month, depending on the juice I put through it. I'm also not a cloud chaser - I'm a taste chaser. My coils are the same every time. Nine wraps of 28 guage kanthal on a 16 gauge luer lock needle - takes me under five minutes to recoil and wick my RM2, and less than that when I'm just re-wicking.

My REO's have been my most carefree vapes to date. I've been through many other mods before settling in on my REO's and my one Provari. I clearly prefer my REO's, you clearly prefer your Provari's.

I don't like fiddly. REO's are not fiddly for me. I just want great taste, and my REO's deliver -BOY do they deliver! Once I purchase my Woodvil, then I can work on fiddling with other types of toppers for my Provari. Right now just using a PT II on it.

Both the REO and the Provari are top of the line devices. Both can happily co-exist too. :)

I think the OP needs advice from people who have experience with both, not someone who MAY get both.

My ProVari was great until the day I got my REO. I still keep the poor ProVari, but it really has nothing to offer me anymore. It's chip is simply too limited and with the DNA20's out, with VW on so many devices making things so easy, ProVape simply has fallen off in it's usefulness and needs an update. It is a great device for what it is, so if you don't plan on experimenting for better flavor and vapor, and are happy with limitations, buy one. They are heavy because they are built very well which you will need because they roll off anything you put them on, and are phallic in appearance. Some people like that. The REO won't roll off of anything, has a 510 connection and has everything in one nice package the size of a business card.

If you just plan on using cartos in a tank get a ProVari. But, you can just as easily use the REO to feed them and not mess with holes in the cartos or having to replace them inside the tank and wasting all that juice or fiddling with syringes to withdraw it. With the REO, you refill the bottle very easily with no hassles. The REO Grands hold 6 mls of juice, and use the same 18650's a ProVari can (depending upon size you get of course they both have minis with the 18500's). My poor tanks, cartos and RBA's get no use anymore, I prefer the RDA's on the REO for simplicity.

If you aren't into cartos and would rather have fresh juice on a coil, the REO is the way to go. Don't worry about learning to recoil, you can buy premade coils just like everything else and can change them out as needed very easily. If I use ceramic wick, I can coil one and not worry about it for over a month by just dry burning it and rinsing it.

So, as everyone else has said, what are you looking for? Both are equivalent in durability, warranty, and customer service.

That pretty well sums it up! I LIKE my Provari, but I don't LOVE it, like I LOVE my REO's. We're still just getting to know each other, but REO's have pretty well spoiled me.
