Your most welcome To be honest when I first made my mods I felt bad for the rest of the world dripping into atomizers all day . E juice running down the sides of there tube mods sticky fingers . Keep in mind there were no tanks back then if you wanted flavor you had to drip . When my mods didn't sell I would say what is wrong with these people Why all the love for a tube . I use to have a wall of wood mods I couldn't sell . It wasn't until I releases the original reo mini that everything went crazy . Not being a electronics geek or a machinist I didn't think I would be in the game long .
Many years later here I am still building mods A shop full of metal working machines I actually got my second cnc machine up and running this week . So in short yes if it didn't take off I would have been surprised . Dripping into a tube all day is for people that dont have to be on the go and we all no life is not spent sitting at a desk most of us are on the go and dont have time to be dripping .
I hope to be around for many many more years
I dont think the geeks can get rid of me at this point people love reliability. I still dont consider myself a machinist but I no enough to get the job done

Well I will say what you think you lack in machinist skills you sure make up in customer service. To me and lots of people, nothing is more important than customer service. It something that is becoming more and more rare everyday.
Rob with all sincerity, I thank you for being you.
Customer service is worth more to me than the reo I buy. Rob always does whatever possible to make us happy campers. And congrats on the new cnc machine! What brand is it?

Rob I realize this is a bit off topic... but if the alleged regulations from the FDA go into effect, what do you intend to do? I am very concerned for the future of vapers. Not so much those of us currently, but those who are new, those who have not made the switch yet, and even for those of us who are experienced and can keep ourselves up and going, just how we will hold up if things dont go well...
I am scared for what is coming and what might happen. I have said it and I will say it again, now is the defining moment in vaping, this may very well be our Little Big Horn... hopefully it wont be, but I would not be surprised to see the FDA shut a lot of things down that they will deem "dangerous" or "hazardous" which are only going to be dangerous or hazardous to their cause...
I am sorry if I got off tangent, this just worries, and upsets me...
so back to the original question...
Rob what are your plans if the current proposed regulations go through?

I don't want to speak on Rob's behalf, but the proposed regulations won't effect hardware.
Keep calm....it will end up in court first. And the FDA will lose. My Reo is not a food or a drug, therefore, its none of their business. They will have a hard time proving that it is something they need to oversee. Of course, this is just my opinion and I'm neither speaking for Rob nor the industry as a whole. Juices and items sold with juices in them like cartomizers, ya...there is much to be concerned about. But the only thing we can do is keep being vocal about it....and make sure they keep their grubby paws off our hardware....and Vape on.
And if for some reason hardware is included. Rob can make a little flashlight attachment and claim it that way lol. But I am 99% sure it wouldn't matter as far as hardware goes. Only hardware like disposables because they have liquid in them when sold.

Even if it does affect hardware I believe robs reos would have an easier time being passed since he has a failsafe device that stops working if something goes wrong tube mechs have no way of stopping a short unlike robs springs

I'm not saying the regulations will become effective as written. But we have to be aware that as currently written everything on the market currently could eventually be banned if action is not taken.
I am calm, but I'm also a realist. I'm too old to take on this fight. But it is a fight that needs to be taken on and beaten back.
All that being said there could also be a huge, organized black market. I could also stop vaping fairly easily without going back to smoking. I plan on being at zero nicotine by the end of the year regardless.

I picked up another tormach one wasn't enough . A baby to a guy working in a machine shop but there working out perfect for what I do .

I dont sell e cigarettes I sell vaporizers not to worried they have been playing this game for some time . Its always about the green backs and they will have there cut
+1 for customer service and +1 for community. I am so happy with my Reo - what an amazing device! But more happy with the people here. The very fact the small business owner actively participates in the community of his customers is a rare and wonderful thing. I'm a customer for life.
Nothing wrong with your machining skills Rob, they are right up there with the very best IMO. Your designing skills are exceptional too. When you can swap a battery in under 10 seconds, refill the juice in under a minute, and have a great vape from a compact device, you have to wonder "where is the compromise?" but there is none I can find, except that one might want more Reo's. Glad you got a second CNC up and running, good idea to stick to the same brand as the other one, the dog you know is better than the dog you don't.
