The REO Grand Series is no longer just a bottom feeder. The Reo Grand LP Version has a wide catch cup that will fit about any standard tank or dripper on the market. So one could buy the REO Grand LP for dual use. Bottom Feeder and/or Regular Mechanical Top Feed.. The Voltage resistance has improved to levels equivalent to the Tube Rockets.
The Reo Grand Line of Mechanical Mods have recently seen some changes and it's a game changer. The New Reo Grand is way improved over the Old one. I know because I bought one 7 months back and returned it. High Voltage Drop along with a Melting Button soured me on the REO. I'm no fanboy of any manufacturer, I just tell it as I see it.
The Manufacturer REOs Mods has upgraded the insides with low resistance materials and the resistance is comparable or better than most of the tube rockets on the market.
The advantage of the REO Grand is the following:
1. All metal and durable
2. Complete replacement kits are available for $25.00 that allow you to repair or gut your Reo Grand and turn it back to brand new.
Imagine every 1 year or so just replacing everything and having a new unit. This is attractive to me. BTW I'm very mechanically inept and I could rebuild this without a problem. You just need a screwdriver and the ability to watch a video and follow the instructions.
3. Because of Box Shape the unit is more stable when you put it down and less likely to fall
4. It's very small and compact
5. Rock Solid Reliability- It's one hundred percent mechanical and not much to go wrong
6.Price: the bottom end will cost $146.00, a Low Profile will cost $156.00, and a Sl Super Light $175.00. The SL LP is at $175.00 too. Compared to the High End Tube Rockets, the price is attractive.
If you choose certain versions of the Reo Grand than you get further features
1. If you choose a Low Profile - LP then you can use with just about any RBA. Not limited to Smaller RBA. Not limited to Bottom Feeding RBA either. You can use your standard Tank or Dripper.
2. If you choose a SL [Super Light] Version then there is a web of holes through the unit. I've found that the heat is absorbed by the body and then vented out through the holes. Result is that even under intense High Ohm vaping the body doesn't get hot. The temperature dispersion on my SL has beat hands down any tube rocket that I've ever owned. Some I've had to stop vaping because the whole body became warm.
3. They offer a Tumbled Aluminum Version of both the regular and the LP at no additional cost. Tumbled aluminum means no paint to scratch. I love it because it's virtually indestructible. By the way the pictures on the site of the tumbled version the finish looks much rougher then the REo I received.
4. Don't Drip and Drive- With Bottom feeding you get the dripping experience without the hassle of dripping. Safe for driving too
Now let's go into Negatives or suggestions for improvement.
1. You may not like the Boxy Shape
2. The hose arrived with the bottom totally flat, so if it hits the bottom it stops the suction of liquid. Quickly fixed by taking a scissors and snipping at an angle. It still would be considerate if it came that way.
3. It costs over the $100.00 sweet spot.
4. The APV is built to tight tolerances, it fits a standard 18mm battery, but I believe that the newer 3000mah batteries that are 18.3mm may not fit. So you are limited to a 2900mah battery
5. It's a Mechanical, if you like VV then this isn't going to be your cup of tea
Let's get down to the numbers:
I found the V-Drop to be good for my needs, in fact I switched from my .28Ohm to a .39Ohm Coil because it was too hot.
I have pictures of my results and equipment used in this post

Thinking of adding a kick although a lot of people don't bother and just coil build instead. Anyway - good stuff. Thanks.
