I ordered a Purple Mini, named Purple Haze :)

Expected arrival next week.

So many choices!

Purple Haze ::::::::::::::::::::::::: Oh that is so much in my younger years. But so PERFECT a name. Hendrix was a legend. (well at least in those days he was). Never mind; To me he still is a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I'm an old stick in the mud, but when I got my first Grand, I knew that was it...YMMV. I've no desire for VV, especially with the 18350 batteries and taller height. I can have multiple resistances and power with multiple RM2s (and eventually, more than two Grands). The Mini 2.1 is the same width and depth, not that much shorter, and it requires another set of batteries (18490) to maintain. The 14500 Mini is smaller, but only has the capacity of a small eGo. I'd consider one for my tiny never-smoker, vape-sipping wife, who took over my USB eGo.

Our Holy Grail is a 18650 Woodvil with birds-eye maple door, and light to medium stained body with visible grain. I'd gladly even maintain 18490s if all we could get is the smaller one (it's mainly for her).

I don't wish to be blasphemous (I love my Reo mini!!), but have you looked at Phidias box mods? I have a birds-eye maple one that is gorgeous - too gorgeous in fact. I has afraid it might get damaged, so I bought a Reo.

Because you didn't have intent, and because you're a REO owner, I'll cut you a break and have you strangled before burning at the stake for heresy. :D

J/K... seriously, there's some eye-watering woodwork out there on several PVs. They just don't have the REO appeal to me and I doubt they'll maintain the same value and demand as a woodie REO.

What shade of purple is it? I've been looks at pix online and the purple looks blue to me on the Reo site, but fuchsia in image searches.

I hope it looks like the one on reosmods.com Here is a pic from the website that i downloaded.

Hopefully I will have it in my hand by tomorrow along with the RM2s i ordered at the same time :) Then i will let you know if it is the same. It isn't one of the sparkly metallic ones it is anodized paint or maybe powder coated. The site doesn't say which one.

The silver vein one on the left is on my side 24-7 for the past 3 weeks. Not a ding on her and ive been working in the 119 degree heat in the middle east doing a aircraft maintenance job. He has seen pocket abuse and trials and tribulations that would make your teeth cringe. But still beautiful and flawless. I holster her in a 2dollar flashlight holster to save the finish just in case.

OMGoodness. Have you seen the new olive drab grands? They are awesome looking imo. I cant justify buying another and ive just re-entered the realm of vape-sequester. But man that new color gives me the reo fever... Real bad. Its manly as hell but still pretty on the eyes. One of the olive grand bodies with a raw silver door would be a hell of a good looking mod imo.
