So you think your Reo's got character?

That is what these mods are built to handle. It was one of the main reasons I purchased my first Reo, the durability. For those of you that are sad to see my Mini all dinged up I just wanted to let you know I have a near mint Grand that rides along with it everyday. The Grand is in very good condition because I leave it inside at work. I don't take it out with me on the ramp because it's a little too bulky in my pocket with everything else I have to carry. That was why I purchased the Mini. My main worry if/when I drop my Mini on the job is if my atty/carto will survive the drop. I don't worry about the Mini itself anymore, it's proven over and over again that it can take a serious beating. Rob did an awesome job with these :p

I also have a Woody 18490 on the way which will be babied. It will not go outside at all and I plan on taking VERY good care of it. My Mini will always be my workhorse vape :toast:

I am a little bit in cameras, in the moment there are over 50 cameras ready to use. Many camera collectors get fooled and pay a lot of money for false real Leicas, 50 years old, in MINT condition. Real collectors search for used cameras with scratches and who tell many stories about a hard living as a professional camera.

I have no problem, if my brand new Reo minis will tell in one year a lot of stories. I don't know, if I want this for the also brand new 18490 Cocobolo.

I really don't think any of us wantto see our REO's damaged. It might hurt when a chip or scratch appears. But things do happen and sometimes our REO's pay for it. I looked for a mod that would hold up to daily life. Mine overall are in really good shape. But there has been that occasion where a Grand landed on the pavement. I held my breath and checked it out, it was fine. Yeah, that is why I got my first REO!
I have bought many that have battle scars. Chips, cracks, scrapes, and dings. They all have stories behind them. They all work great.
I love each one, and I love the fact that they will be around enduring daily use for years to come!
