Reo Grand vs Reo Mini

[Kentastic]

So I'm pretty much sold on getting a Reo for my 6-month anniversary of quitting cigarettes. The problem I'm having is deciding on which size to get. I'm sure eventually I'll get multiple Reos if I go by any of your die-hard Reonaut's pictures, so in the long run it probably won't matter, but since I can't afford to just go buy one of each size right now I'm having a hard time choosing.

I love small mods. I'm constantly running all my tube mods in 18350 mode (I don't mind carrying around a small 4-pack case of 350s). So I figure the Reo Mini is perfect for me, but then I think of the 3ml bottle. Because I like to make life hard for myself, I also hate tanks/atomizers that only hold a small amount of juice. I guess I just vape a lot because when using a Kayfun nano that only holds around 2-2.5ml I'm out by Noon and have to refill or swap out with another kayfun. So I mostly use the full size tanks which is closer to 5ml which lasts me till the end of the work day. So I want the Reo Grand right? Because it holds 6ml and should last me all day... but I'm worried that it will feel too big and uncomfortable caring around that I will just go back to my current setup because it's more compact and easier to stick in a pocket.

So any advice Reo-peeps? Should I get a mini and just load up a few extra 3ml bottles in the morning and stick it in with my extra batteries, or should I go full size because it's not really as big or bulky as I'm thinking it is?

I really wish I knew someone with Reo Grand that was local so I could get an idea of how comfortable it is to hold and how it fits in a pocket.

Thanks in advance,

I only like small mods. Before the Reos I used a mini Provari (never with extension). I tried an MVP and sent it back because it was too cumbersome.

I started with an original mini (lovely and small), then got a mini 2.1 - loved it, but I always had to carry batteries and spare bottles. I was very reluctant to get the grand because I was worried it would be too big. Should never have worried - I absolutely LOVE it! The battery lasts almost all day, and the bottle size is fabulous! I have small hands, and it doesn't seem too big at all. I still use all my Reos, but when I'm going to be out of the house for any length of time I take the Grand.

I think you will find that most people in here will suggest the REO Grand due to it's battery and juice capacity. Some will post pics of it next to a pack of anaogs for your reference.

If you truly like running tubes in stealth mode, though, you will probably prefer the Mini.

For me, it's the Grand all the way.

My guess is that you end up with a Grand, simply because everyone will chime in with really good points about buying the Grand.

A very common reaction to first use of a Grand is, wow it's a lot smaller than I imagined and very pocketable

That's what I am hoping I will think. I know in the end if I love the Reos as much as everyone else I'll have both sizes (and probably more), but for this first one I'm torn.

The REO Grand on the face is approximately the same size as a business card for height and width to give you an idea of the size for the height of it.

A 350 tube mod fits in the hand much differently than a REO mini. There is a considerable difference vaping on my GG stealth compared to my GGTS. The difference between the mini & grand (in the hand) is far,far less and not worth giving up the battery life or juice capacity for.

Just my 2 cents.

I'd get the grand mostly for the battery size and capability plus juice bottle size. Add for the form factor I use my stingray in the 18650 mode only with a origin rda and it's probably very close to the size yours in the picture. The reo grand with a rm2 is smaller than my stingray setup so I'm sure you'd be ok with it.

Really? That IS smaller than I thought it was.

Even with a grand, I always carry two spare 18650s and a 6ml bottle of juice. I'm not always the best about making sure I top off my active bottle before going to bed or before leaving for work in the morning, so I'll frequently have to swap bottles mid-day. With a mini, I'd probably carry 3-4 batteries and 2-3 bottles.

I took a ruler and some cardboard and made models. Really, I did, and it helped me decide.

(Use the mini 2.1 measurements, that's the current model.)

If you are considering just the horribly practical matters:

If you are out and about and want something small: A Mini with a 3 ml bottle.

If you are out and about all day and want the least amount of battery changes and refilling: A Grand with the 6 ml bottle.

Depending on your vaping habits and run time needs it could be the difference between a Grand and one extra battery and no refill supplies needed. Or a Mini with two spare batteries and extra filled bottles or liquids.

That's the practical matter. But when it comes to style and if you really like your mods as small as possible - that's your call here.

I think I may be shallower than I though.... after logically going through the pros and cons, my brain just froze upon seeing this picture.


Me want.... drooool... mine!... gimme!... waaaaaaant...

Grand, a "regular" size Bic, and EA MOD in 18500 "mode".

To add to your dilemma you can get that in a Grand or Mini 2.1
