So I just got my first Reo (a mini), and STOOOPID, who has lots of AW IMR 18650 batteries, didn't do enough RESEARCH before the Reo arrived to figure out that it uses a smaller battery (14500?) The Reosmods website still apprears to be on the fritz, but it's not like I don't know how to search/ask here. Clearly I suck. So now I have to WAIT some more...unless...is there some temporary battery that, say, BatteriesPlus might have that would work long enough to at least try the little guy until some real batteries show up? I know about the protected or safe chemistry issues so it wouldn't be used for long, of course, but the suspense is killing me now!!!

Well...shoot. Tell ya what, I have a really nice multimeter. You find some batteries to share and I'll let you use my meter :(

I'm in the same boat. Just ordered a mini woodvil only to find that EVERYONE is out of stock on the recommended batteries. Apparently I'll need a special charger and a multi-meter as well.

Thanks, I'll watch there too. Super T says they're supposed to have them tomorrow, but then I was told they said they'd have them today earlier this week, so who knows? If I decide to open a business I'm going to make mods and batteries...apparently these guys don't sleep trying to fill orders!

look for them to show back on shelves around august 8th. that's when wonderlite says he will have them
