REO EDC (Every Day Carry)

[ancient puffer]

Sometimes, I find something that just "works". And it occurs to me others may have found some really useful gizmos/gadgets to use with their REOs, and figured it would be fun to share them.

I'll start out with the little zippered pouch from RTDvapor here.

As you can see, there is plenty of room for a spare bottle of juice, spare battery, and a spare RM2. You could even include an extra spring if you want. This shows it stuffed with my 3 items mentioned above:



And here it is all zipped up next to a grand for size comparison:





So, what sort of interesting "accessoreos" have you guys discovered?

I've got a few of those too and love them. Is that a Grand or 2.1?

It's a grand, gotta love the 1600 mAH and 6 ml of juice on board *nods and grins*

I take my two minis with me everywhere. So the only thing I bother with is an extra 14500 battery or two. I found a little Case Logic two pocket USB flash drive case to be perfect for the battery (or two). I also have the 6 pocket one next to it. It works well for travel.

Yup, I love those zipper cases too. I add one to my order almost evertime I place an order with RTD.

The beauty of a Reo is that I don't need to carry anything but the Reo...
And I don't want to.
I have a little ball of cotton stuffed behind the door for rewicking, but that's all.

This is what i use - it's a mobile phone case. It has a belt loop on the back rather than just a clip so it cannot fall off my waist and i use the little loop on the right for holding a pen i use at work.
There's a hook on the bottom for keys and such, but i have on that a little LED flashlight i got as a freebie, which is ideal for when i get to work and there are NO lights on, so i don't break my neck getting to the switches.
The top has a velcro fastener and with my Reo in it as shown it stops it falling out and hitting the floor (again!).

I am thinking about getting one of these. It would be plenty big to hold a full sized REO and any extra stuff you would need for the day. I would also likely get rid of my wallet too. I already use a front pocket wallet so that plus this would be way too much for one pocket.

But the best Reo pouch of all...



Now - if i can just find a safe way of vaping in this thing.....

These go into my big azz backpack (along with the rest of my life). The bigger case can hold a grand, a mini and two extra 18650s and/or two extra 6ml bottles + a little wick, wire, and a few drip tips. The smaller case is a lowepro that I keep batteries in but only take on longer trips.

These go in my satchel

Edit: I should start carrying a micro phillips head, but I'm pretty meticulous on keeping sets in their set.

What are the cute stubby drip tips, please?

What are the cute stubby drip tips, please?

They are called "twist drip tips" and they used to look like this but I didn't like the way they felt to the lips so I dremel the top bubble off and polish it smooth. After using these for a while, other drip tips just don't feel right to me. If you google "twist drip tip" you'll see a lot of variations including contour ones but I get these "bubble tops" here: Drip Tips

Thank you very much!

I am interested in your mini torch. Where did you get it, and what is it called?

 

[NicoHolic]

Tumbled REO Grand w/RM2, and fresh battery and juice every morning... that's it.

That's my backup to beaten black grand! It lives a cossetted life in my computer case, ready for action. It gets little use in reality.

I have that same case. Got it off amazon. I used it back in my k-100/a-7 days to hold everything. I love pocketability though now. So i dont use it anymore. I use a flashlight pouch from fasttech i got for like 2.00 and a 18650 battery case with a fresh panasonic/cotton/6ml bottle.

Now that's what I call prepared..... do you have room for anything else.....? I like your priorities
