I've been using Reos for the past few years and recently tried a MVP v2 at a friend's place. I really enjoyed it and since my current (and very old) reo seems to be having some issues, I decided to go with a VTR. I'm using the supplied iclear 30s and have a kanger pro 2 on the way. I am a little disappointed in the flavor output for my longtime everyday juice. So I've ordered what my friend was vaping with the MVP in the hopes that I won't be bothered by this anymore. I'm sure this issue has to do with a switch to wicking in the clearomizer rather than the direct squirt to an atomizer that the Reo offered.
My 2nd issue is how quickly the juice goes in this. My Reo 18490 had a 3ml bottle that lasted through a full day of work and longer. I'm currently half-way through my day and the tank on the 30s is beneath half already. Hopefully this is just due to the new coils soaking up extra juice, but I'm worried I'll need to carry a spare tank with me for this mod.
On the flip side, I really like the VW option. I don't enjoy constant fiddling and setting the wattage will allow the vtr to automatically adjust voltage in order to maintain a similar vape throughout the life of the coils. My Reo was not VV but still required constant fiddling (tightening or loosening the atomizer, getting a feel for the right squirt size, occasionally getting a dry hit or flooded atty even after years of experience, etc...).
Also, the VTR is a much sleeker and nicer looking mod in my opinion (to the metal Reos - wooden ones are beautiful but not durable enough for me). Though, I am a bit worried that the VTR has a higher risk of malfunction with all it's techno-wizardry. I'm not bothered by the size of it and actually enjoy the heft. Still fits in my front pocket just fine and so far has less leakage issues than the Reo did (not that they were ever severe). And the clearomizer is much quieter than the LR atomizers I was using.
I'd honestly be hard-pressed to say which I like more at this point. However, I don't see these two mods being compared very often and thought I'd post my experience. Reos are very tough and durable so the mod's lifespan may be the deciding factor. The VTR certainly feels solid, but living in my front pocket is a hard life.
Update: Now that the iclear 30s has broken in some I'm enjoying it much more. The taste has improved some and there's an insane amount of vapor production. It's still burning through juice like mad, but I suppose that's the price for such thick plumes... I now just bring a 6ml eyedropper bottle with me to work in case I need a refill. And now the change pocket in my jeans serves a purpose.
