comfort zones are good. we respect anything that keeps you from smoking.

i have an MVP and a couple of provaris. they were my comfort zone til i got a Reo.

many do not gravitate toward Reos until they discover that dripping provides the best flavor. once you accept dripping, then Reos are a no-brainer.

I got one of these

and the feller at the vape shop built the coil for me. I just use it for tasting new juices. Need to find the time to do it myself. Reckon I'll have to when this one gives out.

I also own an MVP and SVD. I was contemplating a Provari until I discovered dripping. The progression to Reos was fast at that point. Rebuildables are actually quite easy and very satisfying. Lots of videos out there on YouTube on rebuilding RDAs. It just might be worth your while to check into Reos. If the site is down, it's because Rob is changing to a new payment system and are probably doing some testing.

It's really not that difficult. ProVari has a circuit (or chip) that works really well. Just don't drop your ProVari, or submerge it in water, and it is a great little device for desk jockeys and stay at home Moms. A REOS is nearly indestructible. The REOS is a straight mechanical mod, however, and does not respond kindly to dead shorts.
To each their own. I prefer the REOS.

I work construction and, accidentally dropped mine from 26' while on a scissor lift. Broke the tank. :mad: but put another one on and no worries. :thumb: The Provari did well. :toast:

that's cool. but, based on what i've read, coils bought from most vape shops are often unsafe. but if you're using it on a regulated mod, like a provari, you're good.

provaris are pretty solid. since both Provaris and Reos are built in the USA, i like to think of provaris as the Reo's little brother :)

I was actually looking into a provari for the supposed indestructible-ness, but have spent too much $$ and destroyed too many devices and the regulated I tried had an especially short life span.
I was also tired of tanks and even though I loved the flavor of dripping I hated the hassle. Went looking for a solid Mechanical bottom feed. Enter the Reo. I've only had it for a couple weeks, and constantly wondering how I didn't discover sooner!

I dropped mine making a turn on the lawn mower today... Turned around and before I could stop, ran it over, flew out from under the deck after a light thud... My heart sank and I was feeling sick until I got off the mower and picked it up off the ground, put the drip tip back on it and started vaping it.... Somehow the Odin didn't get a scratch on it... Not sure why I was worried, its a REO.....
