That's exactly what I'm going to do! Waiting for my Cisco attys from Avid Vaper.:mail:
In the meantime, I'm going to use them with my Evod2 for dripping.

If you plan on waiting to do RBAs then as good as Cisco attys are (I know I use to get them) I found these just as good and cheaper.

Though no one has mentioned it as yet, (that I saw), if you are on FB you might want to check out the REOnauts page... There are some listed from time to time on there that never make it to the classies here... Good luck in your search.

I love my Reos!

I got 4 Provaris collecting dust since I got my Reos for christmas! This is just so simple to use. No fussing around it just works!

To set your mind even more at ease, my two cents:

I bought my Grand (hereafter, 'My baby') 23 months ago. It's been my all day, every day vape for that entire time. Since I bought it, I've purchased 4 atomisers for it (a second A7, a Hornet, a Cyclone and an RM2) I still use all of them. I run through 10-12 ml of juice per day. The (brass, I think) 510 connector finally wore out - last week - so I sent it back to Rob, for a new SS connector, that will likely last FOREVER. I'm so lost without it that I bought a brand new LP Grand, just in case anything else happens to my baby in the future.

My wife also vapes - 2-3ml/day. Since buying my baby, I have bought her:
2 Smok Grippers
an Ego-T
2 VV Egos (I forget what they were called at the time...)
an Itaste MVP
an MVP2
6+ Vivi Nova tanks, and dozens of replacement heads
2 carto tanks, and 100-odd cartos
2 Protanks, and dozens of heads
a Fogger v4.1
a Squape
an iStick

...and probably a bunch of other junk that I can't think of at the moment. Only the last 3 items still function, and she pretty much hates the fogger. Almost as much as I do - I'm stuck vaping it on a tube mod atm, while I wait for my REAL PVs to return from the shop. Nothing against the Fogger itself, it's just *nothing like* vaping on a dripper.

You guessed it, another vote for the Reo. It will likely make you wonder why anybody bothers with tanks at all.

Also, my wife's iStick + Squape is both longer and heavier than my Grand + Cyclone/RM2/A7. And I've never actually met another Reo owner face-to-face, but everyone and their dog seems to have an iStick. For whatever that's worth.

At the end of the day, though, the best hardware is really whatever hardware makes you smile inside your head.

I know ow I'm gonna get killed on this but it's my honest opinion. The reo community is awsome. Rob is awsome. He makes an extremely high quality product. But outside of military/ hard core uses and pure collecting for hobby there is no reason to buy a reo over something like an ileaf. Imo rebuilding is not worth it anymore. It's all because of aspire. They set a new standard for attys. Iv been building for almost 2 years now and I can't build something the produces the amount of vapor and the flavor the aspire bvc does. I litterly haven't been on the forums because there's no reason. All I worry about is grab a new battery, fill up my tank and go. I would recommend an ipv mini over an istick tho because of the removable battery. I will say this the reo is virtually indestructible and if that's what you need then you found your product.

Can you drop your toy on the pavement 100's of times can u run it over with a car or even better can u drop it in the toilet wash it with soap and water and vape on it moments later ? No I didn't think so :).


Edit: I can with my Reo.

That's why I said if you need that then this is what you want. Fortunately I'm not 12 and I don't drop things all day long. I work a nice cushy job fixing electronics indoors so I don't worry about breaking my mod anymore like I did working construction. The only reason I responded so aggressive is because u didn't read anything I wrote. I blatantly said if you need durability a reo and Cisco atty are the best around. Most people in here haven't used a apv since the vamo hit the scene. Things have changed. Cleros sucked during the t3/evod days.

..................really.............can't believe you said that out loud[emoji47]

All joking aside. Some folks don't like building coils and to each their own.

I have found the reo to be the least fuss and most reliable vape there is and I will be darned if I'm gonna pay $3 a coil for something I can build better for pennies.

Well my manhood won't allow me to walk around sucking on a dildolookalike either so there's that part too.

Definitely understand that but I guess building isn't for everyone. Those $3 coils last me upwards of 3 weeks with no maintenance at all. $1 a week to no have to fuss over my build is money well spent. I make my own juice so my only cost is the coil. But that's my opinion.

Also if you read well you'd understand the OP was here wanting a reo :)
