Lisa,
I wonder if you could delete the info in the OP and replace it with this updated info below please?
Chances are you are either thinking about purchasing your first REO, or you recently received yours and would like to find all the basic information to get yourself started without searching the 1000’s of threads here in the forum. I have compiled some important links that should help you down the path:
Note that all new REO models now contain the sub ohm / upgraded / high output contacts and heat resistant button.
There are several different models of REOs currently available (as of 5/20/2014). Below is a link to each in the REOsmods website that provides model specific information and dimensions to help you decide:
The REO Mini 2.1 http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=36&Itemid=3
The REO Grand Reo Grand.
There are variants to these models:
LP = Low Profile. This is a mod where the catchcup is milled shallower than the standard mod. It is intended for users who only use Rebuildable Atomizers. If you use or are considering using cartomizers or factory atomizers, the standard mod is a better choice for you.
SL = Super Light. These mods have a symmetrical pattern of slots drilled in the doors and bodies to reduce weight and provide for a “see thru” visual appeal. Here's a picture so you get the idea:
Each REO has its unique characteristics, but all of them share the same durable, high quality materials and construction, form factor, craftsmanship and will provide you with the highest quality vape.

Hey bro, it didn't take me long to discover who the Reo guy was on EFC, thanks for this post it has been very informative. Just to let you know a couple of the links no longer connect to anything. I have been vaping for a year+ now! my setup is basic, Mini Protank 2 with a Spinner 2, given me no problems and except for the stock coils, I will be rebuilding those with my new Cigamagic and 30 gauge Kanthol when it arrives. Mac, Cig and many others have educated myself and many others on the t.m.c., wicking it with Japanese cotton. When I get that down I want to try a RDA, been doing some research and the Reo Grand LP stands out above all others.
I have watched reviews, yours included and have not found a single poor review, so maybe a black base with a red door. Also I don't know that much about RDA's, but I caught a vid review of yours on the Odin, you seemed to like it a lot, don't you have 4 now? Anyway started checking and again no bad reviews, in fact one reviewer took a couple of pulls and you could read his reaction from his facial expression ( a huge grin) he loved it, apparently he had never used it before the review. Maybe you should give everyone an update including your Odin.
Been giving this some thought also, when I get everything together and am comfortable with the rebuilding and my new Reo, I think I will review all of the gear I love on YouTube, I certainly know how to shoot and edit, been doing it for 30 years, but never in front of the camera LOL, could be fun.
Thanks again Russ
