Ready to take the Reo plunge.. any advice on best 1st set up?

[Stacy1]

I am not a cloud chaser, and do not build sub ohm coils. On the devices I have now I use micro coils built with 28g kanthal ranging from 1.0-1.8ohms and am satisfied with the vape I get. I'm leaning towards the LP grande but not 100% sure. I dont do lung hits and though I do appreciate some air flow, I believe I prefer less of an airy draw compared to the lung hitting cloud chasing draws. This is my first reo purchase so I really dont know what I need to be purchasing. Any advice on what to purchase is appreciated. Oh and I havent done dual coils either. If it really makes a huge difference as far as flavor and quality of vape I could do a dual coil rda but on my magma and igo-w that I currently use I have only done single coils and have been happy with it. I feel like im rambling now so I'll stop. Help me spend a couple hundred bucks please. Thanks

Get an LP Grand and an LP RM2, you'll be just fine.

Button cover
x1 Repair kit
Bottles/Tubes/O-rings/RM2 screws for spares, AW IMR or Sony VTC batteries + nicore charger.

^^^^^^ That will fix you right up

On the reo website I see a LP reomizer but not a LP RM2? Is the LP RM what I need?

You'll find the RM2 with a single coil will deliver just fine in the resistance range you like. If you're comfortable with IGO and Magma atties, you won't have any difficulty with the builds (the RM2 is actually quite an easy atty to build on).

Once you get your squonk on with that setup, you'll have plenty of time to research/discuss/window shop other atties to use (dual coils and such). And trust us... obsessing about what reo product to get next is all you'll have or want to obsess about once you're a reonaut.

Yep - that'll be your huckleberry.

You are looking for the LP RM2 if you select a LP Reo. There are 24 atomizers on the site when I looked yesterday - try selecting the option to view 25 items per page to clear up any display problem. It is there, but the 20 items/page view was acting a little wonky for me. Can't go wrong with a single coil RM2 to start your Reo journey.

Of course you need your Reo. The low profile (LP) versions will allow you to attach almost any other bottom feeding atty you may want to try in the future. A standard profile Reo has a deeper catch cup. That's good if you use non rebuildable attys or cartos with a Reo, but it limits you to RBA's re-milled to fit down into that deeper catch cup.

Extra bottles? Your Reo will come with two - one in place and an extra one with a cap. They are cheap enough, but unless you are the type who changes flavors a half dozen times a day you don't need to go nuts here either.

Spare tubing and cap thingy? That isn't a part you can really break on a Reo, but if you run some really nassty smelling stuff through your Reo replacing the tubing/cap - and your bottle - may be the only way to completely get a real stinker odor out of there. Again - a very cheap piece of kit ot have on hand.

Definitely get an extra battery spring. That's your safety - if you dead short a Reo the spring collapses. Major sadz if you have an accidental short and not having a spare spring is the only thing keeping you from using your Reo.

IMO you don't need a rebuild kit. That's a major production replacing switch parts, you need to be savvy enough to take that on if it's ever needed, and you really have to do something very bad to ever need to replace those parts. Plan B is to just send it back to Rob and have him do that kind of work if it's ever needed.

Other than that... The usual stuff: Got suitable batteries and rebuilding wire and wick of your choice?

It looks as though Rob is listing them as just LP reomizers (plated and brass), not LP RM2's. I didn't see a listing LP RM2 myself.

 

[Becky84]

You won't be disappointed with the RM2. Listen to these wise gentlemen. They won't steer ya wrong! Plus I think you could close your eyes and blindly click to order and end up with an awesome set up, all of Robs stuff is that good! Don't forget you can PM him if you're eyeing a certain color combo or have something in mind you don't see on the site, sometimes he has things lying around

 

[eratikmind]

Yay! The Reoville population is growing.

 

[Stacy1]

I watched the video on the rda and the guy dropped an oring in before screwing down the RM. On the site there is 1.0mm x10 and a 1.5mm x 10. Do I need both? I appreciate you all taking the time to answer all these noob questions im asking. I just want to make sure I have everything I need in my cart before submit the order

Your Reomizer will come with the needed o-ring. I can't remember which one you get - I think it's a 1.0 that comes with the RM2.

These go in the catch cup under your Reomizer. It helps seal things and prevent leaks. The difference in thickness just means a difference in how far you screw RM down to get the RM innards oriented in the position you like. It's easy to misplace an o-ring. It's also an easy thing to get at a hardware store too.

Papa it is there, but like I said the default display mode for the pages was acting wonky for me. If you have the page set to show 20 items/page one of the RM5's (charcoal) shows up twice - and one of the RM2's disappears. Since there are 24 attys, if you select "display 25 items/page" then it seems to clear up the problem of the site not displaying everything that's actually available. I gave Rob a heads up that the site is doing this in another thread.

The LP Reomizer is the LP RM2.

You will only need one, but you won't know which one until you screw the atty onto the mod. They are only 25c each so best to get 2 of each.

Ok. I sent an email to make sure I get the lp rm2 because I cant get it to come up regardless of the amount of items displayed. Thanks to all the comments I think I have everything I need in my cart. Ive got two of the springs, 4 spring screws just because they are so small and would be easy to lose, 2 bottles, one extra tube/cap kit, 2 each of the orings, and a button cover. Did I forget anything? Now all that's left to do is pick a color. I like the look of black wrinkle/ copper vein. Anyone here have the copper vein? And if so does it tarnish like copper or is it just paint

 

[Harleybarbie]

I did order more 6ml bottles for my LP Reo. I like to switch my juices and I can have several flavors ready to go. At 65 cents each, it's not bad to have extra ones. I can take more flavors with me, and they are ready to go at any time if you just have one Reo. I also use a sharpie marker to write the initials of the juice on the bottom of the bottles you can remove the marker with rubbing alcohol.
Congrats you're gonna love it!

The copper vein is paint, but it will definitely darken (almost to black) over time. Some folks cover it with clearcoat when they first get it, and that seems to at least slow down the process. The black wrinkle is an excellent finish, feels good in the hand, not slippery and seems to hold up well over time.

It totally tarnishes and turns very dark unless you clear-coat it when you first get it.
