You lost me here. Since the REO itself is a bottom feeder how is it possible to use any atty? Wouldn't the atty have to be bottom fed as well?

The LP version will fit almost any Atty. You just can't use the bottom feeding feature on a non bottom fed atomizer,rba,tank.
So It's dual use.

You can modify just about any dripper to bottom feed or you can get a bottom feeding atty, bottom feeder is the way to go for sure, I wasn't happy with a reo before so I built one for myself that can handle low sub ohm builds with virtually no v drop etc. Now reo has come close and I think it's the best way to go. Provari is great if your running carto tanks or high ohm builds, but if not... pass.

I'd surely like to see my trident v2 be capable of bottom feeding on my Reo...

Here's a link to one of the ways I've done it, there's also my personal favorite way just drill a hole and seat a needle, this way works better BC you can use a bigger needle and get way better juice flow. There's also a link to the bottom feeder I built in the above thread if you wanna knock your socks off. Leave me some feedback tell me what you think of my bottom feeder.

So if I can use any atty that's NOT bottom fed I'm essentially not using the REO to it's fullest making it no different than any other top fed *dripper*.....I'm sorry but that just seems ridiculous to me.

Now what I'd like to see for the LP is an atty the size of say the Trident that's bottom fed.

I've read your thread before but I don't remember you making them yet so are you or are you still just talking about it?

If you have to modify your dripper to get it to work on the reo, then it's no longer the same dripper.

After you cut up the thing you can't use it on your other mods.

Yeah but you wouldn't want to. That's the point. You don't drip with a reo - you have continuous feed. This really isn't a big deal. Its designed for bottom feed. If you occasionally want to throw a top feed on there you can - best of both worlds. That's all. Some folk like to permanently mod a topfeed RBA for liquid feed - cool.

I haven't made anymore, I'm too damn lazy, that's not the thread we were talking about tho, It's one about getting attys to feed from the bottom.

One you've modified any atty to BF you wouldn't want to use it on any regular non BF mod I would think you'd do it specifically for the bottom feeder.

That link was not the one that I was thinking about however it still illustrated how the BF conversion is done, that was done with a single vertical hole and an intersecting perpendicular hole, I was referring to grooves, either way works.

I not speaking for the reo but I'm assuming the reason for the lp is to allow for different attys and I'd assume people would be adapting their favorite atty to run bottom fed on the reo. Seems pretty logical.

It might not be so ridiculous if you like dripping several different flavors over the course of a day and don't mind dripping one juice over another. If the "upgraded" Reo LP can be used like a tube mechanical then you could drip multiple flavors at home - say with an Atomic RDA - then slap on a RM2 just before you head out.

If you dripped different flavors into an RM2 wouldn't you run the risk of contaminating the juice supply in the bottle? (I'm ASKING here, not trying to make a point. I don't own a Reo. Yet.)

I think the point was that the upgraded Reo - especially with the new contacts, etc. - can in some ways be a more flexible PV.


Another question: Would the Reo's collapsable spring limit its usefulness for sub-ohming? Just curious.

What?:laugh: , nothing wrong with the MVP at all , when you admittedly say you didn't like it's form factor and it was a bit top heavy (most realize this ) but bought it anyway is not the MVP's fault , you just happen to like a different shape (tube) .

The MVP is still the most kick a_ _ bang for the buck $40.00 dollar piece you can buy, period . No hype

I didn't realize it was top heavy until it arrived. I never said I didn't like its form factor, since I prefer box mods.

I guess you missed my big signature that I'm quite happy with my box mods (REOs). I don't prefer tube mods, and I still felt the MVP was way over hyped (for ME). Not sure why you are taking a personal affront to my opinion and what I prefer for ME.

I'm happy you love your MVP - and I'm thrilled I love my REOs

While I don't have a LP Reo Myself, it's confirmed by user posts that the LP REO can be used like a tube mod. The LP stands for the depth of the catch cup. I've been told that it's very shallow, so normal 510 connectors will reach through without extensions. In addition the Catch Cup is wider.

The new spring is upgraded and not as collapsible as the old and many are using it successfully. But if you are into the really low Ohms there are alternatives.
The spring is held in place by a screw that is easily removable.
Some have replaced it with a 10 or 15 Amp Auto Fuse. Very Easy just fold one protruding prong up and one end down. Works just like a Spring. The ones sold at Walmart work perfectly.

Myself I bought Dorman 85613 Disconnect Piggyback and folded it up and made low resistance spring but By doing this I removed short circuit protection so I don't recommend it. I might have gained .1 or .2 V with the modification.

I will emphasize that the majority would never need to change the spring just those at the under .2 ohm level. Mine worked fine at .29 Ohms.

On a hunch based on this thread I search for "bottom feed" on fasttech, and got results.
Apparently there are bottom feed RDA's . Above pic is an igo-f.

Still not clear to me, but it looks like you need a tube of some sort- and I guess it would have to be the right size to seal properly, to go up from the reo, and somewhere into the rda, and I guess it would have to go all the way up to the deck where the coil is.

Or else, maybe the igo-f (as is) wouldn't work with a reo, if the reo requires that it feed from the 510 connection.

It feeds from the 510 connection. You can see the hole on the deck in the second picture that the juice delivers to.
