The Reo website doesn't give a lot of information, mainly specifications so I will need some help. I am thinking about the Reo Woodvil , thats some beautiful wood work. Everything I am interested ( wood ones ) are not in stock, which is good so it will give me time to make the best decision. I intend for this to be my last e-cig purchase so it has to be right. Lol, thats funny as I have become an e-cig addict. Always needing something bigger and better and its a constant search. Sound familiar?

1. What is the difference in the Reo Grand and Mini and what is the size of each one. I want one that will fit in the palm
of my hand.

2. Is is correct to assume the mini would have a smaller battery?

3. Are Reo's bottom feeders?

4. How much juice do they hold. I think I read 6ml or 3ml?

5. There were so many different attys to choose from. All I'm familiar with is 1.7 and 2.0, lr and standard. Which atty
would I need.

6. I saw some cheap ones that said Grand door or mini door. Whats that about?

I have been looking at these Reo's for a while but didn't want to part with that much money so bought a bunch of cheaper stuff which added up to hundreds and hundreds. So here I am buying what I should have bought months ago. Darn, thats what I get for trying to be cheap. I'm done with that and now its all about the cream of the crop. After I get the Reo I want a darwin or provari. Until then I will vape on this cheap as* Lavatube, Riva, Ego-t, Dse801, etc....Oh yeah I bought them all.

Thank you for any info you can share in my quest for perfection.

You can use any 510 atty or carto on the REO. Most seem to use attys but the Boge 2.0 cartos have a following here also.

The grand & woodvil use a 6ml bottle and an 18650 battery, the mini & mini woodvil use a 3 ml bottle and a smaller battery.

All are bottom feeders.

As for the REO being your last ecig purchase, you will wind up loving it so much you will want at least 1 more for a backup. I promise.

Hi TippyClubb :) See my answers in blue:

1. What is the difference in the Reo Grand and Mini and what is the size of each one. I want one that will fit in the palm
of my hand.

Here are the sizes:
=====
Height: 3-3/4" including catch cup
Width: 1-11/16"
Depth: 15/16"
Weight: 6.3oz fully loaded

Mini 14500:
=====
Height: 3-1/8" including catch cup
Width: 1-1/2"
Depth: 3/4"
Weight: 4.2oz fully loaded

The Grand takes a more powerful battery, the 18650 which lasts about 6 to seven hours depending on how much you vape....The Mini takes a smaller battery, the 14500, lasts about 3 to 4 hours depending how heavily you vape :)

The mini fits in the palm of my hand... the Grand is more the size of a pack of cigarettes.



2. Is is correct to assume the mini would have a smaller battery?

Yes :)


3. Are Reo's bottom feeders?

Yes, but you don't have to invert the bottle, a gentle squeeze, or "squonk" as we lovingly call it, sends the juice into the atomizer or cartomizer... easy peasy :D

4. How much juice do they hold. I think I read 6ml or 3ml?

That's correct, the Mini is the 3ml bottle, the Grand 6ml -- which is awesome because most people average about 3ml a day :thumb:

5. There were so many different attys to choose from. All I'm familiar with is 1.7 and 2.0, lr and standard. Which atty
would I need.

I suggest you start with what you have -- those both sound like good starting points, if you want a warmer vape, use the lower OHM atty -- I use 1.5 ohm :)

6. I saw some cheap ones that said Grand door or mini door. Whats that about?

:?: cheap ones? I don't know what you mean by that but if you want extra doors you have to keep your ear to the ground here:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...formation-most-recent-info-2.html#post4072122

Or to to reosmods.com and find the doors and click "Notify Me."

I have been looking at these Reo's for a while but didn't want to part with that much money so bought a bunch of cheaper stuff which added up to hundreds and hundreds. So here I am buying what I should have bought months ago. Darn, thats what I get for trying to be cheap. I'm done with that and now its all about the cream of the crop.

heeeheeee, been there, done that!

FYI - What great timing -- the VV REOs should be available in the next month or 2! :D

Thank you for any info you can share in my quest for perfection.

GOOD LUCK on your choice - they're all so fabulous, it's hard to choose :D ;)

Welcome to the REO sub-forum

Glad you decided to make a thread. The links that the others have given you will give you plenty of answers. Woodvilles might not come out for a while but, the 18490 woodvilles are still available.

I can however answer some of the questions that you have posted.

3. Reos are high end bottom feeders. The Grand and Mini are made from a solid block of aircraft aluminum. So, they are made to last for a VERY long time.

4. The Grand/Woodville will hold 6ml. While the Mini/woodville mini/18490's will hold 3ml of juice.

5. You can use any atomizer that you want with a REO. Although, for 3.7V vaping then I would suggest 1.5 and 1.7 ohms for tobaccos. While 1.8 and 2 ohms should be used with fruit/dessert flavors.

Here's a quick list of atomizers from the most flavor/coolest vapor/least TH to the less flavor/warmer vapor/most TH:

901, 801, 510, and 306

The first two will require you to use the proper adapters in order for them to work. The others do not but, the 306 will require you to use a drip tip.

Hope that helps and also, I have a long explanation of how to use a REO from the link that Nerak provided.

----------------------------------------------

I'm already thinking I should get a grand and a mini. Oh wait, I read they will have vv mods in a month, maybe one of those too. Oooh lord! The way I see it is I spent $200 a month on death sticks so basically it will pay for itself.

I went to a vaping meet Saturday and did get the change to vape on a Reo and I want one bad. I vaped myself silly that evening and definitely did nicotine OD. I vaped on a Darwin and Provari too, but I loved that Reo the best. Although, I do see a Darwin in my future.

Thanks for all the info. I'll go through it in depth tomorrow.

That's how I think about it too. Spent about the same as you do on cigs for a month when I was still smoking. Although, I ended up buying a REO for almost every month that I've been vaping. Guess breaking even is going to take longer then I thought LOL.

All of those mods are on the top of the vaping world and some REOnauts own all three of those devices. It's good that you got a chance to go to a meet. Anyways, it's better to start off with either a Grand or a Mini. So, that you can get used to them and the various set-ups before moving onto the VV REO when it comes out.

The part of Canada that doesn't get enuf Snow :(
Hey Tippy lots of good info allready posted but I would like to add. My Reos are investments. Investments in my life but also I look at how much I spent previous to Reo ownership on ecig stuff. The durability and ease of use coupled with lack of maintenance of my Reos is saving me very much money. I am very hard on some of them with any other mods they would not stand up to the abuse mine have (my mini is the one that got run over by a car) in that my Reos have saved me a lot of money. The only drawback is I started buying them and in a few months I now have 5 if I wasn't laid of at the moment I think I would have one or two more :lol: back to work on Monday so we will see what I can add to my collection soon. Welcome to the club hope to see you in the Reo lounge soon. Take care Darrel
