Are the rounded corners on the bottom or just top? To be honest, the corners at the bottom right now on the mini are digging into the palm of my hand. At the end of the day, it's almost getting like it's gonna turn into a callous. I sewed a beer coozie around it to prevent that, but it's a pain putting that on and off to change the battery (and with a 14500, that's a few times a day.)

So may have to step up to rounder corners.

Got my door that I put the magnet in (upside down) outside soaking in acetone. :( I am heartbroken I did that, I still can't believe I did that. I am usually not so clumsy.

I remember thinking that I would never use an rba just a couple of short months ago. Then I saw a thread that made it look so simple ( the thread itself was by juice junky and it was detailed, step by step photos not a video) that I thought "maybe even I can do that".

So I tried and it was even simpler than it looked. Now the only way i would go back to factory heaters is if all my RBA's got stolen :)

Just something to consider, since the 2.1 will accept more RBAs than any other current REO :)

If your getting callouses from using your mod I'd wager your a button masher. Try not pressing so hard relax enjoy a gentle vape :)

I just got my 2.1 earlier this week- not just the corners but the back edges, both sides and bottom, are rounded as well. I got my 2.1 for durability and the larger battery, the 14500 mini doesn't keep trucker hours. Undecided on using RBA while on the road, but the capacity is there if I ever go that way....

The back side of the REO, opposite the front with the door on it. Both 'corners' on the back are significantly more rounded from the top all the way down to the bottom. The 2.0 and mini are definitely more pointy at the bottom corners than the 2.1 as well as a result of the rounding off.

Thanks Ratman, that pretty much points me in the right direction and gives me the "visual" I needed!

Well thanks for helping me keep an OPEN MIND .... never say never.
Juice Junkey is pretty amazing with this stuff, I doubt I would be so talented. I have some pretty serious arthritis, which makes my dexterity not what it used to be. But I will not rule it out. :)

Blix I'm going to have you read my palm sometime LOL All I really want to know right now is who is going to win the Arkansas Derby. :) I have a wager......... LOL

Heh, you know me so well. ;) Okay, good advice! I may have to get the mini 2.1 though. Just sounds perfect-er for me. I said "er" because any REO is already perfect. :)

PapawBret confirms it :)

Karen is the reo historian, like the curator of a fine art museum. Takes a special kind of person and love of the thing they are "cataloging" and that comes thru with her. I can't imagine anyone else doing this as well as she has done.

Papaw, if you make a couple of extra coil setups, you'd be all set.
