The Grand Vs. Mini

[olefolks]

Here we go again. Gee, I'm thinking of getting another Reo. Can you imagine.

Need some reo insight. I know everyone has their preferences, but, I would like to know why I should order a mini LP as opposed to another Grand LP of which I have two.(Pete & Meatball) Thanks for your input!!

Size. Amount of juice. Aesthetics.

Really I can't think of anything else. The reason to order a Grand over a Mini is batteries and sub-ohming.

 

[Raynman]

More juice and battery life with a Grand. Smaller package with Mini. I think the Mini can go sub, how low depends on your battery. Always be safe when going sub ohm.

I have three Grands and its just easy since all three use the same battery and bottle....but something makes me keep looking at Mini 2.1s and even checking the classifieds for an original 14500 mini.....so i guess i am of no help

I have both, and there's a time/place/situation for both. The little ones are just adorable.....so little and cute. And they fit down in a little pocket of my purse like it was made for it. And especially now with the little square 6 ml bottles, I don't mind relying on my Minis a lot. I don't really like the 3 ml bottles....and to me that's the biggest down-side of the Minis. The plusses are that they're so cute, so handy to just pop in (or leave in) my purse, and pretty stealthy. A Mini will fit in my small female hand with only the drip tip showing if I'm trying to keep it on the down low.

I traded my mini for a grand because of the way it hurt my hand while vaping it. The corner would dig into the palm of my hand and after a few days it was just very irritable... It was not all that much smaller than the grand though. 3ml bottle was also a negative for me as well.

WHAT?! Explain...

There's a whole thread about them. Where have you been??.

I just bumped it so it should be near the top of the threads now. Couldn't link it because I'm on my iPad and cannot seem to be able to pull it off. They're square so they hold more than round ones, and they fit in the Minis. I'm loving the extra capacity. Read through the whole thread....

^^^^thanks, muzichead.

I was up on that thread when it was just a thought. I totally missed the links and the reviews...

Needless to say, I have some square bottles coming in.

You guys are awesome!

I much prefer grands. Here's why:

All my daily drivers run on 18650 batteries.

Much less stress on bottle and tube since I fill them half as much as when I ran minis.

Much easier to work with 6 ml bottle both in access to it / work area in the mod and in filling it. With a grand I just pour the thick VG into the 6ml bottle. With the 3ml bottle it would often choke off when filling and make a mess.

In hand feel

The sheer macho aspect if it. I'm a bad AYuss. I run a grand. JK on that one

I have both and the Mini LP is the out and about traveler. Sub ohm no problem with the new contacts and the square 6ml bottle for me make it ideal.

I only have Grands, not to interested in a smaller battery. I just wanted to say, I love your names! Pete and Meatball!!!

 

[Steamer861]

I really like my mini it feels good in my hand the small size and big vape make me say wow every time the 3 ml bottle kinda sucks thou

 

[rabernet]

I think I'm the rare bird that actually likes the 3 ml bottles. I much prefer the mini size to the grand. And I'm finding I also use my 18490 Woodvils more than the full sized ones.

It seems to take me 3 x as long to get through a 6 ml bottle than a 3 for some reason. I think it's because by the end of 3 mls, I'm ready to change flavors. And in 6 mls, I feel like I'm vaping one flavor forever! LOL

I know I could half fill a bottle. But I just love the size and feel of the Mini's and 18490 Woodvil's - they're perfect for me!

I don't know squat cuz I'm a brand new REO user but 100% agree with this ^^^^^^^^^^^

I change up flavors 7-10 x's per day to avoid wonky taste buds. I don't vape 6mls of anything at one time (or I'd have to buy around 10-15 REOs and rotate them up, a lot!) so the 3 MLS is perfect to either vape away or change out quickly.

The only negative I can think of, although I'm not sure because I've never seen, held or used a Grand, is the squonking hole on the mini is small. With larger fingers, I could see this being a bit difficult. Kinda wish the design had the squonk hole on the side of the REO versus the front. So the squonking could be done like a gun trigger so to speak, and can be done with the inside of the fingers versus a thumb.

And the fire button on the other side for the thumb versus the top of the mod, again like a gun/the hammer. If this makes sense.

I have large hands and I find the Mini to be more comfortable than a Grand, I also prefer the 18490's to the full-size Woodvil for the same reason, also they fit in a pocket easier and are lighter. With the 6ml bottle in a Mini, it's only a quick battery change short of a Grand.

For someone who has 2 Grands though, buying a Mini will mean buying some shorter 18490 batteries and hopefully your existing charger will charge them. Basically the Mini does the same job as a Grand but its smaller and lighter.

Dang it Russ, why don't you just come right out and say what you feel rather than beating around the bush? LOL!!

 

[olefolks]

For you mini owners. On average, how long does the 18490s last?
