    Morning shinies ;)

    Good morning everyone in shiny land. Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday. :) Hot weather has gone and it's back to a cool breeze and overcast sky here.

    And in other news I ordered a squonker.

    Yay we can be Rabbit Hole buddies :w00t:

    Well, tragedy struck yesterday. My Aegis Solo went missing. I've been taking care of a 5 year old for the last three days. Yesterday we went to the farm to look at chickens and ducks. Two walks to the park and the river. Hours messing around in the yard and the woods. It could be anywhere. It could still be lost in the house somewhere or under the seat in a car.

    If it doesn't show up that would be the first vaping gear I've lost in 5 years. Anyway I did what I had to do. MVS has them for $35 with free shipping over $50, forcing me to get two. I also lost a Lemo tank but I got a load of them for $5 on clearance.

    A MIA solo is annoying, but at least the ducks & chickens will have fun with it

    We can indeed and fortunately knowing that rabbit hole runs deep I tied myself a safety rope to the entrance and only ordered just one squonker. I fear you may be lost much further down there and we might have to send out a suitably equipped expedition to bring you back. :)

    Ugh just spent hours with the husband like, writing a letter back to my boss and HR concerning my ADA disability. I will say, I'm not even 100% convinced it WORKS that stupid stuff is so confusing.

    I mean sure, it's better to write a letter with actually teeth and laws than to appeal to a supervisor's moral judgement. Having worked under them and briefly been one, in situations like this, they lack moral judgement.,.. They just want what is easiest for THEM. Sigh.

    Okay the husband has convinced me of this letter's truth. I still just broke down, and like, took some valium and turned down sex in lieu of yoga. You know when you feel like a cat with static electricity and you run around yowling and whatnot.

    Yeah, I feel like that. This week I work a 3/4 day!!! Yay. Not. Although I will not be around doctor evil so there is that.

    I've been looking at the REO website lately and the great thing is the mods don't seem to have changed much...they also must have been one of the first companies that realised that allowing for customisation in any product made it much more likely to gain a following and to make a decent profit too?

    It's difficult to choose though :)

    Reos Mods was the first successful mech squonk mods that had a huge following on this forum and worldwide until the ReoMeister Robert O'Neil closed it's doors and the forum here 3+ years ago. It was a very small operation in the mountains of rural Maine operated by one of the nicest men in the business yet he produced 1000's of Reos. A simple man that kept the Reos simple as well, they are workhorses that can last a lifetime with very little maintenance. And they are easy to work on yourself if the need should arise. A lot of Reos have been customized by their owners, some of them into true works of art. Over the years there were several versatile models for 14500, 18350, 18490 and 18650 batteries that were machined from billet aluminum and brass to wood creations. He also dabbled in variable voltage Reos in the early years, both metal and wood. My "collection" includes examples of most of them dating back to February 2011. IMO his last models were the best of the best, the P67's and 2015 Woodvil's. I also have a couple of custom Reos. Reosmods was eventually sold, but the new owner is not active here, uses other social media. Since I only use mesh gear now days, my 5 P67's all run Wotofo Profile Mesh RDA's now and are the only Reos in daily service. But my 4 2015 Woodvil's could also run them in a pinch.

    P67's, 2015 Woodvil's and other examples...

    A couple of owner customized Reos (Capt Steve), and 3 pictures of a custom Reo a bunch of us paid to have made for Robert himself. The work was done in South Africa, was arranged and overseen by Rob Fisher (who also has some custom engraved Reos).

    They are indeed. No regrets. I am, however, regretting buying a Spruzza from Sourcemore. I could've bought it for a smidge less from Vaporrange and received it much sooner. Ahimè!

    Ahimè ancora una volta! I paid twice that for mine.

    I’m purposely not looking at any price tags of gear that I’ve bought. It hurts less :w00t: !

    That is the epitome of the phrase "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." :thumb:
