Nice job. And a 100ml bottle of Gorilla juice in the background. vaping heaven. I used to order Gorilla and Boba by the liter (Ben allowed me to do this) and it just became too much $$ so I switched to DIY, but I think about those two juices often. They are my absolute favorite. Boba then Gorilla.

I hear ya on those juices, currently hooked on them presently, but they are costly. Going thru 100 ml bottles like water. Need to find some something similar with less of a price tag.

I haven't found anything similar either. I just switched to a honey flu cured and black cigar DIY. 3 to 1 honey flu.
That, and a butterscotch and black cigar, again 3 to 1 butterscotch. Those two and Hangsen RY3 are my all day vapes. I sure do miss BB and GJ though.

Jifjifjif...I'v tried DIY but with no luck. I'm going to PM you with some question?

 

[jifjifjif]

cool. I'll answer right away.

Excuse my newbness, but how in the good lords name did you manage to undress that Reo?

Who do I throw my money at? I need this!

El its real easy! Go to the hardware store and get some paint remover, a dremmel with polishing heads, 2500 and 1500 grit wet/dry sand paper, polishing compound. Be sure to remove all plastic and hit it with the paint remover. Then sand with the 1500 then to the 2500...then polish to shine. Did mine in about 2 hours with beer. Lol

What type of beer, Maerickbo?
These are important details you're failing to mention.

Here's my Reo 18490 Version 1 with Bullet mods:

Here's Eddie



I'm not real happy with how he turned out, the masking kept pulling the edges making it look ragged and the black pick guard is all out of scale

Going to recover from the frustration for a bit, strip it down and repaint, hopefully with better results.

Love the button cover, did you make it or buy it?

 

[TennDave]

A guy locally is making them as REO's are catching on in Knoxville, TN too!!

 

[Maverickbo]

Like the bullet button! Nice job!

That's a hard paint job to do. I gave up on mine and sanded and polished it. [emoji14] hope u have better luck than I.
