VV REO's are a thing of the past! Yes, he made the VV Grand and a VV Woodvil.

But Robert is all about building and selling a product that is all made by him. He didn't make the chip for the VV's and it gave lots of people problems. He chose to stop production.

I have some VV Woodvil's and so far they are working great. You can find them in the classifieds once in awhile.

Thanks. I do recall reading that now. I've been reading so much it's all getting a bit jumbled. Probably need to go to bed and start fresh later. It was great talkin with y'all, and thanks for the wonderful welcomes!

thanks Hectic! You're not too far from me then. I'm actually in Temple now, was in Harker Heights when I signed up and put my location. Should probably change that, but most folks are familiar with Ft Hood.

It'll be a long while before I ever get a reo if I do, (and likely I will at some point), but that'll give me plenty of time to learn all about em. I just build my first coil so proud :laugh: so still need some learnin bout rba/rda etc At this point in time I'm saving up to buy juice, so it'll be awhile before I can save up for a Reo. lol I'm just in the "checkin it out to see if this is something I want, and what type would I want phase". I'm amazed at some of the photos I've seen of whole litters of Reos that folks have.

I know they make vv reos, but still not sure bout the whole 2 battery thing, so that's something I need to learn about. the KISS it side of me says 3.7v, but that makes me think of an ego (ick) but I'm sure that with the right atty, it would still be amazing, and nothing like an ego, I just gotta get my head wrapped around that.

yeah a lot of folks are leavin Cali, and many of em end up here. I like this area......except I'm freezin right now!! Have surely had enough of this cold. Is it Spring yet???

Like I said, spent the last few years in utah - more humid down here, and a ton hotter in the summers, but this cold aint nuthin :)
My Progression:
1) Cigalike Nov 2010: quit smoking by switching to Blu then quit blu because it was a huge hassle...
2) Moved to texas (houston) and in with smokers Aug 2012. They let us live with them for cheap (wifes parents) while we sold the utah house. Constantly smelling tobacco made cravings take a permanent residence in me. Googled better than blu, found pbusardo, took his advice (and others) and got an Joyetech Ego-T 1300mAh with pass through, a few clearomizers - protank 1 mini, evod, vivi nova then a vision spinner 900mah and some pro tank 2 minis.
3) moved to austin Oct 2012: upgraded setup to SmokTech SiD for as I wanted to start rebuilding
4) Jan 2013 - joined ECF, bought some RDAs/RTAs and started in on this grad adventure :)
5) Oct 2013 - wanted Reo, started DIY juice which saved me a TON
Upgrades: May: Hana Clone 30w; July: 4nine mech clone; Dec: Reo Grand LP (wrinkle black w/ red door)
and probably about 12 rdas - all clones.

Juice is the biggest expense, I think over the last year+ I've spent 2k on vape stuff, 1200 of that on juice. DIY since October - I've spent $180 and mix a 30ml for between $2 & $4. I still buy premium occasionally, but probably dont go through more than 60mls a month on that.
Rebuilding chews through a lot more juice than clearomizers, so you gotta watch for that :)
Nic is more intense on rebuildables, so you may want drop down a notch or two :)

Thank you. I don't know why I didn't think of looking there. It's not nearly that pretty anymore. It's been well used, but it still exists and it's all original. When I get it we'll see what it looks like after a bath.

I think it's lovely!I thought it was a rare gem among the metals that I'd never seen!

Garlic is good. I love using garlic in cooking. And hanging 'round the door and window frames. I think it would keep my soon to be ex away. :) And, of course, I'd never invite her in....

Edit: you may laugh but one day she picked up our son and wanted to use the bathroom. She'd been particularly obnoxious at the time and I didn't want to give her the opportunity to plant something in my apartment. I wasn't letting her in. Told her there was a store a mile down the road. Didn't even have to use a credit card and the look was priceless :)

Love it Fleet!:laugh::laugh:

Thanks y'all. Rat2 and I are friends on another thread.....and I've chatted a bit with black6host on there too, but just briefly. I do recognize a few names and mods from around ECF.

Do y'all know off hand if there are any reonauts in the central texas area that are active on here?

Welcome Deb! Any Texas Reonauts..:ohmy:


We are being taken over by Texans!!!!! They're everywhere! They're everywhere!

I think it must be the water....they seem smarter than the rest of the states as far as Reos go.

I see you've been cig-free for close to three years...I was cig-free for about two when I caught the Reo bug:D....and It's ALL I will vape now!

Looking at Roll Call, I was perplexed why Italy is so high in REO ownership compared to so many other euro countries. thought that was interesting.

Happy January everybody. The sun has finally come out in Arkansas, a rare occassion this winter, for some reason! It's never like this! Gray....

When the thread was started there was a very active Reonaut from Italy in Reoville. He started up a special forum in Italian for REO's. Then he watched as it grew quickly! He was always gathering their forum names and letting me enter them in the Roll Call.

We do have a couple other countries where a Reonaut has imported names. They have higher totals also.

Guess it takes just one Reonaut to be active and try to have all their Reonauts on the list!

Hi Debadoo, good to see you again!

I suspect you find no lack of positive thoughts about the Reo, at least here in Reoville. I made the same mistake many did, spent a fortune on all kinds of gear. Told myself I couldn't afford a Reo. Had I just bought one from the get go I would have saved thousands. My 2 Reos are all I vape now and I don't lust for new gear. Mine works just great!

It's cold on this side. More snow expected, no lack of below freezing temps. Going sub-zero Friday night.

You, on the other hand have no worries. New hat, new slippers. I'm going to have to get some slippers, and a robe as it's only going to get colder here. Spring is a looooong ways off.
