REO CLONED

[93gc40]

A regular REO Grand cost $151
A LP Grand cost $161
Not sure where $300 is coming from?

$300 or 150 doesn't matter to the vaper with a $50 or even $100 limit for any mod they buy.... Sure they can buy a used piece. You know, USED; that which was rejected by another vaper.

I'd love a REO, if it was a gift.... I will never pay more than $50 of a mod, no reason too. So I will never BUY one.

This thread will get very exciting when the first REOS clone gets to a user and the review

and pics get put onto this thread. Can't wain't until the first one gets here-hahahahahah

So.....anyone actually receive it yet? Got an e-mail that mine shipped. Hope whoever gets it first puts up pictures, their opinion, etc.

There are some pics on another forum. They started arriving in the UK today. Looks exactly like the one in the video. The one I saw posted about has no real information about build material or performance, but I sort of have the feeling that poster wouldn't know the difference anyway so he might not be the best source for such information.

I see plenty of reason to. If everyone shared your mentality on the subject, there'd be nothing for the cloners to clone.
For the sake of the people who can't afford a real REO, I hope this thing works great; Rob has established a successful business with a loyal following.... I don't think this will hurt him. Reos are awesome mods.
The sillyness comes in with the arrogant , obnoxious attitudes on either side. Vape what you want and what you can afford. Nobody really cares....although , some act like they do.

It's NOT about MENTALITY.. It's about economics.... IF I had extra money to burn, price didn't matter and labels did. Then Yes, I might only buy authentic.... Fact is I could care less about the label, I prefer NONE. Biggest thing I dislike about clones. Is the cloners insistence on copying the stupid graphics. I have NEVER had any EXTRA money, so price and VALUE are important. There is not $125 of increased value, or better workmanship or better customer service in a Reos mod. The fact that the clone is 1/6 the price of authentic... Tells me that the REO is way overpriced. Or the government is charging too low an import tax/duty/tariff on the clones. Probably a bit of both.

And you know this because you're holding both devices in your hand right now? Or maybe you're just more intuitive than the rest of the population. I do challenge you to find a label or a logo on a REO mod, though. The one with the engraved door doesn't count.

A authentic REO for $130 is the ONLY Mod you will ever need for the rest of your life. It's also a "chick magnet".


/joke

Seriously, whatever floats your boat is fine with me. Clone or authentic. All that matters to me is that YOU no longer smoke cigs or have cut back via dual usage.

It has nothing to do with "labels" or money to burn. You had money to burn buying cigarettes right?

I have NEVER had any EXTRA money"

Nobody's fault but your own. Most definitely not the authentic modder's fault.

so price and VALUE are important

Price and Value are two totally different things. A cheap price does not equal a great value. Buy quality and you may pay more up front but you'll pay more in the long run buying cheap junk.

You really are talking about things you have no idea about.
I'm thinking "economics" is not your strong suit.

I hope all Authentic builders succeed. I'm sure the Reos are worth every penny the people that buy them, pay........ We all know this. WE also don't need to be reminded that every non-REO, is a NON Reo.


I started vaping to SAVE money on smoking, not to quit. That just happened. This means....

I have a vaping budget that requires me to NEVER spend more on vaping, per week, than I would for smoking.. ( saving do NOT carry over) This means NO one purchase can cost more than a CARTON of cigarettes. The biggest smoking purchases I ever made smoking.

I want to try a squonker.. It looks like the best way I get one is to buy a cheap 2x18xxx box mod and change the 510 over with Fat Daddy help. Or wait for more clones. I will probably pass on this one due to the limitation to small atties.

 

[jrs99]

Saving up 2-3 cartons worth of $$ shouldn't be that hard and would put you in a new or a nice used authentic REO. You then would not need to keep buying other stuff and would start to actually save money. A little patience and self control up front would pay off greater dividends than by buying junk now simply because you can afford it right now.
You're wrong about "used always being someone else's reject". There are lots of reasons people sell their gear. There's some great deals on used gear and maybe it's just that it didn't suit their vaping style or they wanted quick cash for something else.

Well the RG clone is up at FT and Focal now, so I imagine we will be hearing how they are pretty soon. So that's 4 distributors that are selling them at this point. Wonder if they are all made by the same company or multiple.

I like your budget. I try to do the same thing. I went through a carton and a bit a week and cartons are $80. So I try to stay under $400 a month. LOL

I had the real VaporFlask squonker...for about 1 day. Biggest piece of crap ever. Maybe the clone will be a winner! I keep hearing clones are better than authentics...well, here's your chance!

Slowtech also has a cherry bomber style squonker.
