The Opportunity Finally Came

[zmauls]

Let me start by saying that I have been waiting for months for the appropriate time to do this.

Here's a short story for the Reoville Press:

I was at my local vape shop today, vaping a proprietary apple pie blend and performing voltage drop tests on my and the employees' mods. As usual, my Reo Grand garnered a fair amount of attention from the customers, which I'm always delighted to address. Today, however, during a conversation about how my Reo works, a man, though intrigued as he was with its capabilities, commented that he "would be afraid to break it" over the course of his work day as an electrician. Here was my chance.

Without hesitation, I tossed my Reo about 15 feet away (5 meters for you out of towners) and onto the ground of the shop. The man I was educating appeared stunned, his eyes wide and his mouth agape. I stood up from my chair, walked over to my Reo, picked it up, took a massive rip, blew out the smoke, smiled, and asked, "Wanna try that with your tube mod?"

The man chuckled, politely declined, and promptly asked for the website information before going on his way.

One more for New Jersey on the way, boys and girls.

Vape on.

That's awesome! I definitely wouldn't attempt that with any of my tube mods, but I don't think I'd do it to my REO either

 

[FACE MEAT]

Is the shop owner going to make you pay for the damage to his floor?

 

[Vapeaholic]

I admire your faith in the ruggedness of the Reo. I share that faith, but I'm not throwing any of my Reo's to the ground for anybody.

I'm hoping that Reos is an old beater.

Great story, congrats on your chance to do it!

Now that's a sales pitch.

My wife did that with her iphone in her Speck CandyShell case. We were talking to a couple of friends a year or so ago and one person commented on my snazzy ulta-thin case on my phone and my wife piped up with "But can you do this with your phone?" and hucked it across the room. Luckily it didn't hit anything on the screen, but after she picked up the phone she promptly called my phone from it and everyone laughed.... mine was just a little forced because I knew if the phone had broke she still would have expected me to replace it... out of contract around $600 retail....

Must have felt great though....

I'm like that insane chic in Fried Green Tomatoes...I have paid all my life for Insurance and I'm not afraid to use it!

Nope! My most recent purchase. Don't worry, not even a scratch. It is a Reo, after all.

I'm lovin' it Mad Man Z. Just keep a good eye on the Reo when you toss it. I mean really, you wouldn't want a small animal ducking into your air hole to hide.
