Might have a chance in the next Wood sale ;)

As pretty as the woods are I think I'd still prefer metal. Functionality (namely not having to worry about scratching, dropping or dinging it) takes front seat for me. If my metal Reo suffered from that abuse I'd just consider the marks a sign that the thing is being used and it goes with the territory. A woodville though... I think I would pay much more attention to how it was treated.

They are beautiful though, no doubt about it. I love good wood working and there is much beauty in a warm piece of wood. Maybe one day but the next run will have more for those who have to have it. And I know that feeling :)

My metal ones are unbeatable Fleet - i run 2 at a time. My black one is still my favourite. The wood ones get light use and careful treatment - their own atties etc.

HRH uses some of those, but she vapes at 'reasonable' levels. My old black Grand is currently running some brutal dual coil affair in it. It was the first one i got. Of course - as soon as i upgrade it to new contacts and a wrap to cover up the abuse it sustained, some wiseass posts a "show me your abused Reo" thread!

Nice to see you Dennis - staying vertical i trust?

For the metal Reos, i'm interested in the new 510s, although mine only ever got ruined by falls to concrete floors at the wrong angle, so Sod's law.
The existing ones never leak - you just need to grow a pair and tighten them properly instead of being all girlie about them! :laugh:

hey Jim and Fleet what up :)


Hi Scott, not much here. Mostly paperwork. And more paperwork, and even more! Tomorrow I'm going to wrap that stuff up and get it done. Then I got to deal with hopefully sooner rather than later ex-wife. She's being a bit of a pain...

So all in all, guess I'm pretty busy :)

Sorry you missed your opportunity there :) The good news is that the Reo can take real word (ab)use. And still keep on giving a great vape. So many things are designed these days to fail in a very short period of time (take a look at the budget models of TVs sold by big box stores. They'll get the manufacturer to lower build and parts standards in order to be able to meet their selling price point. Yet it may have the same model number as a similar product sold by other vendors. Doesn't mean they're the same and usually they are substandard to the normal model.)

Anyway, the Reo design leaves very few points of failure.

Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir here :) Can't help myself...

We have no TV. Not had one in years. So Black Friday sales, watching people beat themselves to death to get one - well i just smile.

My cable is for computers - HRH watches her shows on there, and i loaf about on here or watch things that interest me online.

After a period of time i can tell just by going to work that 'Texans lost again' 'Rockets got stuffed' and i save myself a lot of time!
