question for the reonauts

[Gnardays]

dearest reonauts,

i would firstly like to apologize for my prolonged absence, this time have been used as still a fairly new vapor to be able to try products all over the spectrum, i have learned somthing through these experiences, there will always be a little bit of reo in me. Im getting ready to buy another reo to fill a whole in my heart i have created haha, so my question is. im looking for a reo again, and plan to use it out and about and know from experience the grand will do just that...But the woodvil's are so darn beautiful. since im looking for a mod i can take on long walks on the beach and dance under the moonlight with, should i go the metal route or would the wood hold up?

 

[misplacedsooner]

i have both...you really should try some wood. they are my all time favorite. i have fairly large hands but still prefer the 18490 woods and the mini woods.

 

[Della Cirque]

I'm all about the woods....

 

[rustybikes]

While I agree that the woods are beautiful, I'm not so entranced by them to get past the kind of care/maintenance that I perceive they require. My basic philosophy is to avoid things that need that level of tending. So, I'm a metal guy. I haven't done it yet, but I love that they're so well built, I could run over one with my car, and it'd be fine. I'm continually tempted to go "hey guys! watch this!" and demonstrate that, but then it would get scratched, which might make me sad.

Anyway, either way you go, it'll be sweet. Plus, if you contract the virus that so many of us have, you'll end up with both wood and metal anyway.

so it would be safe to say the wood will hold up to some outdoorsy conditions?

The Woodvil would hold up to some outdoorsy conditions. The Grand would hold up to all of them.

Woods are fine so long as you DON'T get them like me who prefers a plunger rather than the squonk hole which is pocket friendly.

I'd say that depends... if you drop a metal REO on a hard surface like asphalt or concrete ground, it will cause a ding for sure, but if you drop a woodvil in the same conditions, it might crack the wood or the door You might get lucky and not harm the woodvil at all, but I wouldn't take that chance. Most Reonauts I know keep their Woodvils as their desk vape and take their metal REOs out with them

I vote Metal!

 

[ltrainer]

I vote metal too but I don't own a wood. As careful as we try to be accidents do happen. I wouldnt want to be thinking about my mod all the time I was out and about. With the metal I just go. If it falls, oh well just another battle scar and chicks dig scars.

"chicks dig scars"
So that's the secret, Loren?
If only I'd learned that when it still mattered.

I_love_the_metals...Something_about_me_being_very_clumsy_at_times.

 

[whatitstrue]

MY vote is.... METAL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dragonvap]

I am partial to wood because it holds a sentimental spirit for me. I also love the warmth of the feel in my hand. I take mine everywhere, I just try to be as careful as possible with it. I too plan a second REO and it too will be wood.

 

[washvap]

I was originally a metal head but, broke down and got myself some of the woodvilles. Both have their place in my collection and so, my best advice to you. Is to get both of them!! That way you won't have any regrets.

 

[lostknitter]

I don't think the maintenance is as involved as you may think for the wood REOs. I use a furniture polish on mine, about once a week. Wipe it on, let them sit for a few minutes, wipe it off. I use a product called Wood Right. I take my 18490s with me everywhere. Just use common sense, try not to drop them, they are built well enough that you do not have to baby them.

 

[pmoraldo]

Metal vote can't beat the durability and if you drop it in the sand you can just throw it under the facet and rinse it out try that with the woodys and see what happens

 

[misplacedsooner]

i know accidents can happen at any time but in almost a year i cant recall a time where ive dropped one of my mods. i was afraid of this when i got my woods and didnt want to take them out.... that lasted roughly a week and anymore they go everywhere with me.

 

[Gnardays]

thanks everyone for the feedback, looks like i can go either way and be fine haha

 

[Justice]

.metal for out and about wood for at home. I'm kinda hard on things so that's my motto. Good luck welcome back

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

I take me wood mods out as much as my metals....usually one of each, where ever I go.
