I will provide a third. My Reo Grand with RM2 will leak if I don't use the little o-ring. I lose the o-rings sometimes because I wash the RM2 without thinking about it and rinse the o-ring down the drain. I re-assemble sans o-ring and go about my day. It doesn't take long to learn of my mistake by the juice all over the top of the mod.

Now I will say I put the air-hole in the same place every time so without the o-ring the RM2 isnt' screwed all the way down, and my guess is that contributes. I've never tried to see if it leaks without the o-ring and screwed down tight but those air paths cut into the top of the connector look like they would allow juice out to me. I don't think about it much because it works fine with the o-ring. I just consider that part of the RM2.

Yeah, I mostly don't use o-ring for very same reason.... I forget and they run off when I take RM2 off. It doesn't leak that badly and I usually have something to dab even if it's my grub work clothes or apron.

Almost forgot the on-topic post. If I were to make a suggestion for a Reo update I would like:

1) The bottom of the door to include a small bevel. I go back and forth of whether it would be worth it for me to even have the door only slide off at the top so that the bottom of the device could be rounded all the way around the bottom. The way I hold the device this would increase comfort.

2) The slot for the little pin in the firing button that allows it to be "on" to be a bit larger. As-is it only takes the slightest twist to the button to lock it out so it gets turned off during normal use.

For the RM2 I jokingly think it should come with a warning that recommends cutting your nic level in half due to the superior vape it provides. It produces so much vapor that if you are coming from a shorty carto or regular atomizer you better be careful with your vape pace if you use the same nic level. I cut mine in half and still get a head rush after 3 chain vapes. To turn a phrase - Puff, Puff, Pause. Chuckle.

Sorry I wasnt clear in the first post, but Im not an RBA user. I only use regular attys.

Honest Mike if your getting leaks with a regular atty you are over squonking. I started out with various different 510's and then changed to 306's and never had a leak unless I had flooded the atty. occasionally I will over squonk my RBAs and get a little leak but not much.

I actually agree with you somewhat. Ive been using HH357s for about a year and over time I learned they perform best wet. My catch cup is never full, but never dry either. I have to say, 90% of the time I have no issues. Ive learned the ins and outs of the Reo over that last year. I was simply posting the issues Ive experienced. Most of them are not solely the Reos fault, but rather my personal habits or choice of atty. Im well aware of this.

When I was using the ERA and Chalice II, I didnt have the pocket leaking issues, nor did I have them with cartos.
