If this was a couple years ago I would have suggested checking out Old Goat's bottom feeders here on ECF, sadly he isn't making mods anymore that I know of.
I pretty much only drip and most of the time I use mech mods, so I'm pretty sure I will enjoy it.
Oh yeah, you shouldn't have an issue, there is a bit of learning curve, but not bad, and is a lot safer when driving than dripping is.
So with the press of a bottle it the mod you "drip" your atty, and then you just fire - whether it is a mech squonker, like the REO, or a regulated, it doesn't matter - it's all there.

Yeah that's the biggest reason I want one, I don't like trying to drip at stop lights and just not that big of a fan of tanks.
The biggest road block that is stopping me from getting a authentic is the WIFE. other wise I would just buy the authentic.
Yes very unfortunate haha. She thinks I will buy it and not use it like I have done in the passed with other mods.
I own both. The clone is functional. The button is skinnier than it should be so it's loose, I wouldn't go too low on the builds, and if you don't grind the catch cup you'll have to find a small diameter atty. Other than that it's not bad for $25. The authentic is smoother all around, no bend in the feed tube, and the bottles seem a little sturdier. The authentic also feels like it hits a bit harder and you can buy a low profile version that will accept any size atty.
I'm not a fan of the bf atties that don't drain, like the velocity with bf pin, I much prefer the RM2 or RM8(derringer) that I got from reosmods. The chalice III clone has VERY restrictive air flow, so only suitable for 1+ ohm builds IMO.

The clone will give you a pretty good idea of what the REO experience is all about. I have one, and mine works quite nicely, but I also have several REO's mods, so have something to compare them to. The fit and finish is just OK on my clone, and the firing pin is thinner than what comes in a REO. Also the insulator on the firing pin is not quite up to snuff on my particular mod. I have read that the spring will collapse with a dead short so that is good news that that safety feature was there on that particular mod. It's a mech, so it is on you to check your build, and check your attie with a multi meter for any and all potential shorts. The 510 adjustable pin on mine is right hand threaded, so it will walk it's way in as you screw down your attie, I don't know if they corrected this or not with current offerings, it's a clone so you never know...one word of advice that I offered in the other clone thread and I'll offer you, make sure that the center pin of whatever attie you choose to put on it is extended out past the threaded part. You want your positive atomizer pin to be proud of the thread base. At 20$...it's a steal of a deal if you get a good one.

had the same problem when I wanted that 1960 Harley Duo Glide. I ended up with a retired 1960
Obviously. How else do you justify spending $30k on 800lbs of overweight, underpowered .... jewelry?
Of course, you get that signature flatulent sound and bragging rights concerning the 'finer' things in life.
Sorry dear reader, Reo owners are not the Harley owners of the vaping world and I refuse to be equated as such.
Snafu, shoot me a PM. I think I can help you out with your Reo itch. Happy wife, happy life.
No No No, buy the garbage. Support China! Vape on!
If this helps at all, before buying my first Reo I had tried several, several other mods on the market. Everyone thought I was just wasting money on the next big thing. That was about two years ago. I now own several Reo's and have never bought a different mod since. Never plan to.
Nothing against other mods and the choices of others. For me, I feel they are worth every penny for the quality and customer service.

Okay the Harley hater wins. I was caught vaping my Reo Clone on my Harley Clone in the potato isle in Walmart last week. While my Reo Clone did not blow any BIG CLOUDS, that damn Harley Clone filled the whole store up with exhaust clouds. Lucky for me my nurse showed up just in time to keep me from being arrested..........and....that's all I have to say about that.....
I tried, it proved to be to difficult
Yeah I failed also....I got referenced as a few things lol. I am like you...I own two and want a third, a mini. I too own no other gear and could care less what is out there.
