I have the one from 3F.

The sliding door seems loose to me I suppose but otherwise is quite excellent.

From the same place I got a Chalice III clone. This thing is extremely excellent. Sadly I like a little more ooomp from my stuff so retired it but really liked it.

CReo currently has a Velocity clone set for bottom feed. This works fantastic. Velocity Mini looks better but can't get the BF pin to work yet.

What I don't like is its still a mech. I used to use mechs back in the day but I admit I've gone modern and the battery getting weaker annoys the crap outta me. So its a fun couch mod where I can swap batteries all the time but for leaving the house its a no go. I can also admit today that while I used to like the feel of square box mods like the Hana in the past these days I prefer the rounded style of a SX or CF4.

Would have been a great thing a year ago but time has passed it by. But if it fits your needs it works great.

The Reo is a magnificent device. It's in a class by itself. You might want to consider getting verified for the classifieds as there are often good deals posted for them. There is also a thread down in the Reo forum for members looking to trade Reos & Reo merchandise.

For $25 its a great Mechanical Bottom-feed Mod.. From the reviews I have seen in the Squonker forum. It only marginally falls short of the AUTHENTIC in quality and function. Infact the Most of the bad reviews are from Fanboys, who knock it mainly because it is a clone, of their Holy Grail. Most complaints revolve around the fact that they Cloned the Old style Grand rather than the LP version. This means you must use a 14mm or smaller atty. The Reos Grand was originally designed for Cartos and smaller tootle puffing attys, with a .6ohm limit. All it not lost, just like the authentic, it is easy to modify. You can file/grind 3mm off the juices cup, and fit any atty you desire. It can be updated to current standard, SUB Ohm ability, using the $25 Reos Grand Upgrade kit, from Reos Mods.

I've been want to get a Reo for a long time but I really don't want to pay over 100 for a single 18650 mod, that being said has anyone got the Reo grand clone and is it any good? I've seen some on 3fvapes.com that look good.

Well here's a 32 page thread about the REO clone.

Keeping mouth shut.

Probably a good call.

That would be like someone asking me where to get a Harley Clone. Been ridin' 'em since 1962. Is the best motor out there? Maybe not, but nothin' beats the real thing. If you like a want a Reo....save up and get one. rob sometimes has blems on the Reo Site for great savings....

What I've wondered about these Reo clones is what kind of spring and positive contact are in them? With the spring and positive contact in Reos and the right batteries one can vape safely down to about .2 ohm. If the spring and pos contact in these clones are crap I would hate to see someone try to vape it like the real thing and get hurt. People might assume the contacts are the same.

Why not just read the 33 page ECF thread I linked on page one?
It has the answers, from members who actually OWN the mod.

Know a guy who had one, the one from 3F. The button melted, the + connector got bent, the door was too long for the mod. It was crap, pardon my French.
Go to the classies.

$24.71 Terminator 18650 Drip Nebulizer Vaporizer Kit - 10ml / black (matte finish) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

This is what I have with me at work these days.

The rda that comes with it has its pluses and minuses; it's not 510 standard drip tip for example.


The top of the box does come off (it has 3 screws holding it down) i figure after a year or so i'll have to open that up and either just do some cleaning/maintenance or maybe i'll have to redo the inside to make it better.
