The Reo is a bottom-feeder, which is a completely different design than a ProVari. Many people consider it to be the ProVari of bottom-feeders due to its durability, performance and the wonderful support of Reomods (Rob) and the Reonauts sub-forum.

A bottom-feeder is a very simple device. It's a box mod with a little bottle of juice inside. You squeeze the bottle (called "squonking") and the juice goes up a tube and feeds into the bottom of an attached atty. It is the equivalent of dripping when it comes to flavor, since it is essentially dripping upside down. Since the systems are so different, the Reo complements the ProVari very nicely.

There is the skynet to convert the provari to a bottom feeder - i dont know if anyone here has one, and if they are any good?

There seems to be very little info about them - i think they are made by an italian firm, and the only youtube demo of one i could see was in italian... :blink:

They haven't been available and still may not be. That's the only video I know of about it. There have been threads discussing it, but so far I haven't heard of anyone actually getting one.

I'm sure i saw one on a UK site, but it's disappeared now. If you type 'provari skynet uk' into a google search then the first link shows it at ukecigstore for £119, but when you actually click on the link it just takes you through to a few of the provari kits they stock, but not the skynet. Either they got a limited supply and sold out very quickly or were supposed to be getting them in stock and never did.

Del Sole is the only place I know of that sells/sold/might sell the Skynet: SKYNET STANDARD

Allegedly that ukecigstore is not a reliable vendor in the first place. I recall that they recently lost favor with ECF as a recommend supplier because of repeated customer service issues in either delivering the wrong items or missing items in orders but still charging for them and not responding to customer complaints. Just a FYI.

Cheers Bad. I had noticed a couple of negative comments about them on the uk forum too... not responding to emails & very slow on delivery times. I'm not sure if they have resolved these problems yet as they were previously a decent vendor and i know they had some problems with the website as well around the times the complaints were being made. Personally, i would want to see some positive feedback before ordering any big ticket items from them, and luckily there are a couple of vendors that stock provari within 50 miles of where i live and i prefer to go and have a look / pick them up in person anyway :)

Are those tanks easy to use...I want a tank that I do not have to do anything but fill it up and vape...I do not want to fiddle with coils or anything else just vape...I hate the fact that I have to keep topping off on my cartos.

Tanks? Those are RSST RBAs. I don't believe in tank/carto setups.

{Shrug} I'm vaping a Vamo right now. (A: For variety; B: I have a clearo that looks nice on it and cr@ppy on the ProVari; and C: It looked lonely)

The vape isn't as nice as a ProVari, but it's okay for me as a back-up device; although, I still use my Twists too.

You know you're a member of the ProVarinati when...

You're vaping on a Vamo, go to change the power level, and stare at the back of it for a couple of seconds wondering what happened to the LED screen. doink.


What the hell are you shrugging at, petite predator?

I hadn't read the OP's posts closely. I didn't realize he was having problems with the Vamo, I thought it was a comparison between it and the ProVari and, of course, the Vamo was found lacking.

I really was vaping my Vamo and as I read all the negativity. I looked down at his sad little robot face and felt I had to say something.

It didn't ask to be a Vamo. Mods don't get to pick how they are designed or where they are manufactured. It's not the Vamo's fault that people claim it is more than it is. It's true that in that class of mod I prefer a Zmax (I haven't tried any of the new Chinese devices on the market now), but all of the inexpensive mods serve a purpose. They can perform adequately within their limitations, which for some people aren't major limitations. I think a problem arises when the Chinese mods are touted to better than they are. When AntiProVarians say that Chinese mods are as good, if not better than a ProVari (due to their advanced VW technology), at half the price, the people who buy them as a first mod may have unrealistic expectations.

Don't blame the Vamo for being a Vamo, blame the nimrods for telling new vapers it's as good as a ProVari.

I like that last part.

Go head...give it a shot..I can use a laugh right about now.:)

Hahaha, No I had nothing really to say, I have tried to put the awesomeness of what is ProVari into words before, It ended up being to large to post, and still didn't really cover it, Also I think for most people it just comes off as total Bull:censored: to someone that hasn't tried it, and within that... I still use my twists and other things, but only when in situations that I don't want to damage my ProVari, I don't mind the lack of flavor or performance for a few when I shovel snow or go hiking in the rain or rafting, fishing and so on...

Oops, see I'm starting to ramble... So um... Yeah, I keep getting into situations and arguments over the "Cult" followings of the ProVari... So I have taken a new stand on it...

ProVari sucks, You ProVari peole are all wrong, Chinese mods rules!!!

Techno posted this link, about a week ago. I really want one, a bit confused about what you use on top, the afc thing. I would just want to use my RDA, but here's the link. (I can't afford it right now anyway)
