I probably vaped for a year or so, before I got into Reos. The REO is the only device I truly enjoy and depend on these days. My favorite is the Woodvil. But the LP Grand is a great mod, and you can take it anywhere. Some people take their Woodvil anywhere too. But I baby mine, and keep it home. If you like the taste of a dripper, without having to constantly add drops to it, you will love this. It requires very little maintenance, and I must say, I find this superior to everything else. You will need to take good care of your batteries, and that means clean them once a week. I use DeOxit on my A&W batteries. I have used other batteries, but these seem to be the best for my personal taste. I am telling you, they may cost more initially, but in the long run, it will cost less. They are AMERICAN made by Rob. He WILL take care of you, if there is a problem. There are plenty of people here who will help you as well, if you need it. Once I started using these, I haven't looked back, nor regretted my decision. I wish I had started with these from the beginning. Since this is a mechanical device, you must pay particular attention to your battery levels. In the event of a problem, the spring will collapse, which is a good thing. I normally change my batteries at 3.85-4.00....mostly at 4...as I like a punch, and these do deliver. I have my coils at 1.0-1.1 ....now and then if it is 1.2, I'll still leave it. I change the battery twice a day. You can thank me later!
