In another thread, Rob said that the inside dimensions of the brass cup for the VV Grand is 0.56 inches. If that's the case, then it'll fit. And I think (pretty sure) all the brass cups are the same as the catch wells on the metal REOS....let's hope. They seems the same to me (I measured with a crappy ruler). Anyway, the Chalice dimensions are 14mm which equals 0.55 inches, so....should fit with 1mm to spare. Fingers crossed. I absolutely KNOW it will fit on the VV Grand because that's what I tried it out on a couple of months ago.....

I heard the Reo Mini had a smaller catch cup, and I wasn't sure if the 18490 would be included in that since on the site it's called the Reo Mini 2.0 - 18490, but if they all have the same size catch cup that makes it easy...

Off Topic, what are the dimensions of the 18490? I can't seem to find them listed. In fact, there's not a lot of info about the 18490 in general.

Well....the 18490 is the height and width of the Mini, and the thickness of the Grand. Maybe that will help. I'm not sure about the catch cup/drip well size on the Mini....or the metal 18490. I'm betting tomorrow someone with better knowledge will jump on this thread (either Rob or Lisa or Karen????) and help me out with dimensions.....but I measured the Wooden 18490 well and the Grand well...and they seemed the same. I'm hoping that the Chalice fits at least those two....not sure about the Mini....

The VV Grands will be coming out really soon...as soon as Rob heals enough to get them all together....and I KNOW the Chalice will fit on those. Worst case scenario, wait and get one of those. As soon as the Chalice reaches us, we can do some testing. Think positive thoughts.

I don't want a VV Grand. Bit bigger than I want in a box style mod, and as far as I can tell, it's a stacked battery mod. If nothing else I have a Vapemate modified to bottom feed, but I'd really like a Reo 18490.

I'm kind of on it. :) I'll get out the micrometer in the morning and measure the catch cup on the 18490s for ya. I'm too tired to take accurate measurements at the moment. In the meantime, I have edited the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/161169-reo-measurements-parts-terminology.html to reflect the newest devices. I also have a couple of photos that compare the size of the Grand, Mini 2.0 (18490) and the Mini.

The Chalice doesn't fit in the reo mini or the 18490s juice well One could use a adapter

That's okay... After breaking out a caliper and viewing the measurements of the Reo's in the real 3d world, I am now really thinking about getting a Grand... I can put a kick in that for VW and still use my 18500's.
