RAM broke off from Dodge. RAM may be good but look at the reliability ratings on Dodge itself. Dodge is always at the bottom of any list. My 2005 Mini Cooper S... Yeah that was a collaboration between BMW/Chrysler and was a total POS. Fun as hell to drive when it wasn't in the shop. It got traded in for my Tacoma and I've never been happier.
Not gonna argue with ya on the Merc reliability ;)

..and yeah one of my Sunboxes is sitting in Italy right now after taking a fall.
Is why I'm still in search of a good solid mechanical squonker that isn't a reo.

FYI
Mercedes and BMW have horrible reliability issues over the last 8-10 years.
They are not the solid, well built
Machines that made them famous any longer. (Blu tech? Really MB? It's 2015. Google it for a German built facepalm)

A dodge pickup truck will outlast everything in the Mercedes stable, with maintenance costing a mere fraction.

Don't confuse fact with perception...... Unfortunately PERCEPTION is what influences most decisions, these days.

I am glad to see the clone... I might try it someday. I have so many premium juice flavors that I love, though, and am constantly getting more. I can't imagine liking having to fill a plastic bottle, be committed to that bottle, and not having purpose for dripping in my RDAs. I love dripping my RDAs. I also don't like that I am confined to BF modified attys. I have too many RDAs that I switch between. I do like that it is mechanical, though.

I guess these are the reasons I haven't bought an authentic REO yet. The clone could be worth it, though. The price is reasonable just to have one occasionally used mod with a single BF dripper.

This 29.00 REOS clone could be the greatest thing if the switch fires every time---as my 25.00

Smokless Owl bottom feeder has a mis fire

problem with the switch---but the atty seems to be on par with what I need.

I can't really justify 165.00 for a bottom feeder authentic REOS even though it is the best bf---

according to everything I have read.

I think, going forward, that if there are to be references to products not related to vape gear while discussing authentics and counterfeits we should reference yo-yo's. Seriously, who hasnt regreted not getting a duncan.

But, I might bite on a 30 dollar squonker.

Whatever it takes to get more people into squonking!
We need more innovation in this market because I have yet to find my perfect squonkbox!
When I was into tube mechs I found my happy place with the GP Ti X. Now that I squonk I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
Yes I can even find flaws in my beloved Sunboxes.

Ram is owned and made by Chrysler. It was a product name for their trucks now it's a brand. Like Plymouth.

Your problem with the Mini was the "S". High strung version of a tiny BMW 4cyl is asking for problems.

By the way, the new Minis are clones... And thankfully not 1:1


I've owned two non-S basic stick shift Minis and they were great other than the horrible ride from the suspension.
Toyota makes a good truck. They are just rediculously overpriced....but most vehicles are these days.


I've been interested in a REO for a while but didn't want to drop the dough to test out one.

I've got a cheap squonker coming and if it works half as well as advertised I'll be buying a REO.

I'm inquisitive, but the pros and cons just don't add up for me. The weight and size of a regulated mod, without the regulation or battery life or TC. For the price of a genuine Reo, there are some very nice boxes available.
Squeeze a bottle, or pop the drip tip and drip. There doesn't seem much in it. The people on ECF who have them seem to love them with a passion, I must be missing something.

Rob must be peed off that his device has been copied, but I guess it was a matter of time.

To many die hard flavor junkies nothing compares , regulated or unregulated .

Hmmmmm....I wonder how the vapor flask squonker clone will be from that site..bottom feeding hobo, and I'll be in heaven..with minor complaints on how it could be smaller....but unemployed with loss of material joy..:(
If its anything like the authentic vf squonk, save your money! Awful.

Having owned many a ride starting with Toyota 4 x 4 s in the late 80,s then a lemon Tacoma 4 x 4 in 95 (that ended my dealings with Toyota) to at least 12 new Hondas between my wife and myself from civics to accords to ridgelines, oddyseys and pilots, I thought I bled honda.

Till I drove this:

I traded my pilot and never even said goodbye to it. I've had this 2015 5.7l charger for a month now and I can tell you there is nothing honda will EVER make that could rival the experience this charger throws down. Nothing. They (Hondas) are great cars but the driving offers nothing except a boring as hell drive. The only time I looked forward to driving any of our new Hondas was for like the first 3 days. Then it's just nice, solid but vanilla driving. Period.

But my wife still loves her odyssey after like 5 of them and hates my car. I mean HATES IT. She will get another odyssey in the near future too.

It's cool. I've got no worries about her taking my BEAST on Fridays or anything.

Now when I have to take her van to gas it up its like a ride in a penalty box. And it's a beautiful van, just boring as hell compared to American Muscle.

But I'll always Ride Red :)

Now back to the regularly scheduled program.

Ps. I think the REO being cloned is piss poor :)

I've removed all the cute little Chinese women from my FB page. Anyone who is against clones should do the same. You will take away a bunch of ads for their BS products and they are prolly a bunch of dudes anyhoo with fake avvies :)
