Provari vs Reo

[Retriever]

So I am close to making a decision on a mod and I am pondering two choices. I am not in a big rush though. I am looking at the Provari and the Reo. I know, in their current forms, they are different animals, but I was wondering if a Reo with a LR carto or atty would be as satisfying as the Provari with the vv. Any thoughts are welcome!

Of course, I could just wait and get a vv Reo.

Ill tell you the top two reasons i prefer vv. First off in the morning i need softer vapor to start off with so i dial it down to 4.4v. As the day goes on its not harsh anymore so im near 5v. By the end of the day i need just a tad more hit i might dial up to 5.5v.

The second great reason is this frankinstien box of every carto known to man i have here. No matter what i slap onto it i can find the right setting for it.

Thanks Tersur!

LOL, I'll tell you why I prefer the REO. The leak-free juice feeding system makes it simple to just grab your pv and go without worrying about anything else. Not to mention the all mechanical build of the metal REOs makes them practically bullet proof. Easier than smoking.

I have had both. I can tell you the Provari will fail before the REO. If by chance a REO fails,it is alot easier to have it fixed by Rob. I have used 5V batteries with a LR and SR cartomizer, 3.7V batteries with LR and SR caromitzers. You can also use two 3V batteries for 6V. With all the options, who needs VV?
The big plus of the Reos, is their durability.

You are right, you are comparing apples and oranges. I think the main question is if you like the taste of bottom feeders, if you do then your decision is made, I would counsel getting a VV box mod, not necessarily the REO. The Grand is durable but some of the other wood boxes are far more attractive (and some of them have VV options now).....just my opinion!!!

I think the Provari plus a tank would be $100 or so more then the wood box also, consider the BuzzPro, too.......

Since you stated you aren't in a hurry you might want to consider checking the progress of Reo and implementing a vv circuit. They've announced it's going to be done but I haven't researched it since. It will use the same circuitry as the Buzz Pro and Infinity Pro. Anyway if you want to check more into that you'll have the best of both worlds.

Rob has the electronics. The first VV REOs will be wood. They are expected out around the end of January.

Thanks everyone. I have always heard terrific things about the Reo. They are just so hard to find! Must be that they are so well made.

There's usually one to three for sale daily in the classys (no trollery! Same as Provaris and GGs)......

Both amazing mods. Hogwart is making a VV feeder that you might also want to take a peek at. Search ecf for Hog's Mods.

And there's the Evolv Kick to consider. You could use a REO Grand or Woodvil with a 18500 and the kick and get VV as well.

I'd buy a Reo if I could ever be savvy and quick enough to get one...instead i have 3 Provaris, and I'm relatively happy with their performance... whether it's with an hh357, a DCT tank, or a cisco 3o6, they tend to never cease to put a smile on my face.

 

[Huffelpuff]

1 of each? You always need a backup. The bottom feeder for on the go, no worries about refilling. The ProV for dialing in the perfect vape. Even if you can't get both right now keep your eyes peeled on the classies and you might find deals for one or the other. Both are outstanding mods.

I'm a huge Reo Grand fan at 6V, its a great device, easy to use, pretty and indestructible. But I love my Ipro VV just as much. I LOVE VV, it really doesn't get much better. You do have a few other options for well made devices to conceder. Don't over look these mods when deciding.....Buzz Pro, Ipro and then there is that VVGrand to think about too.

I have 2 Minis, a Grand, a ProVari, and a Buzz Pro. I use Vapemates on the VV's at home/office, but the Mini's are my constant out and about vape with LR atty's. If I had to pick one and were not so self conscious about being seen in public with a WMD from outer space, I would probably go with the Grande because of the flexibility of using different battery combinations.

Then again, I don't have to pick. They are all great PV's. I am not so sure about a VV Reo if it ends up being the size of a Grande. The Grande is, for my taste, over the size limit on a box mod, but just load it up in the morning and you are good to go all day-I just throw a spare atty or two in my pocket.

Whichever one you pick, you cannot go wrong with any of them. It will, in the end, boil down to your own tastes and vaping style.

REO Minis are available on the site now http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=9&Itemid=3 as are 18490 Woodvils http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=24&Itemid=3

Rob just got a shipment of Grand bodies back from the anodizer, so they should be added to the site soon. If you are interested in a particular color combination (except purple) click the "notify me" option and you will get an email when they are listed.

LOL, they are gorgeous, aren't they? I have this one on they way:

 

[Retriever]

Wow! Reos are coming! That is great news! I just looked at Hog's Mods and they look great too. I agree with those who have posted about vv. I think that is how I want to go. Thanks everyone!

I think the prettiest are the Grips to be honest.....though Cap'n Brian's are pretty hot, too.
