G’night!That’s so cool having family so close! Bed time for me folks. See you in the morning! Well later on today technically
Well said
I have many mods (a shocking amount, truth be told) - all squonkers, but not all REOS. While I've come to appreciate a good regulated vape, it is the REO that is my first love with respect to vaping. I found this place at a time when bottom feeding was a dark art practised by a cryptic cognoscente; at least so it seemed to me then. What I found, first and foremost, was a community I wanted to be a part of. One that had, at it's heart, a devotion to a demonstrably superior product coupled with a genuine desire to share, teach, and help.
It changed vaping for me, both technically and socially, and for that I'll be forever grateful.
Sounds like heaven (your place, not the <not so> little boxes made of ticky tacky). We see this with new developments here, too. Small lots, huge houses, no yards, privacy screening everywhere.
To each their own, of course, but I'm in your camp.
My sister and her husband came to visit us on our island this summer from the city. They were actually fearful. No street lights, trees everywhere, owls hooting in the night. They said they couldn't sleep a wink. They also cannot for the life of them understand why we would move here from Van.
We just smile.
Hear, hear! That’s exactly what I found here, too....I just found it a couple years before you did. I haven’t branched out from REOs....once I got it right, I stayed where it happened. You’d think that would have saved me money, but actually my money just got all put in one pot instead of spread out over the internet. I have quite an arsenal of REOs....Well said

Oh, I remember you being your loveable self right from when I first got here. You all taught me from what you'd learned from others. I, and others, tried to carry that forward, and it continues today (I'm looking at you, @Vapefiend).
Your arsenal is legendary, as well. What does that say when so many of us have such collections (plus or minus)? We really need a term for a large collection of REOs. "clutch" feels too underwhelming, "murder" or "slaughter" feels off-tone, "herd" too pedestrian. Maybe we can it a "Jan" of REOs?
Well, if we get really technical, we probably should call it a “Karen” of REOs.....remember Nerak? And......I wouldn’t put it past YOU to have even more than I do....Oh, I remember you being your loveable self right from when I first got here. You all taught me from what you'd learned from others.

Mine number in the 30s..... I’m actually not exactly sure anymore. Since I’ve given my niece and nephew (limited, albeit) access to my collection, it has changed a little. By that I mean that they are not nearly as careful with the REOs as I am. I got them each a 2015 Woodvil.....and I have them both back....ruined. Broke my heart, but it happens. And when I say my niece and nephew, we’re not talking kids; these guys are in their 40s. I have them both using P67s now...
The gorgeous red P67 I’ve had since the day they came out and which I use all day every day is still like new. The P67s I got them....OMG do they look well-used. I just keep thinking what they’d do with something fragile with electronics in it.

I cry whenever my reos get a scratch or ding; some like the battle scars, not me. But I still love the wounded as much as the unscathed ones.Well, if we get really technical, we probably should call it a “Karen” of REOs.....remember Nerak?

I don't mind normal honest wear on my Reos after I've had them awhile. The finish on my hammertone P67 started flaking off and it looks good to me. Now, some guitars these days come in a "road worn" finish which for me is wrong. I like mine to stay shiny and new and I do fret when one gets dinged, just like my cars.
Hi Reonaughties!
hahaha
so, I noticed Karen closed the Reo Facebook group and came here to find out why. looks like it was still pretty active. I don't see anything about it. Does anyone know why?

Hmmmm. I have no idea. I’ve been a member there, but not active. Hope there’s not something wrong with Karen. Maybe someone who has been a little more active in that group will give us some insight.
But....good to see you here, anyway.
Stick around or check back in soon....somebody should know something....I just don’t.
I have REOs of two types - those that are babied and those that are workhorses in harsher environments (camping, kayaking, biking, yardwork, etc). The babied ones are pristine and I take care to keep them that way. The warriors have "character" from various drops, knocks, and abrasions. I also tend to oxidise the TRA finish and have a couple of mods that bear "the shroud of papa" - a near perfect outline of my hand.
I love both types.

What are the chances - you mention Karen and, poof, someone comes in here asking about her?
She has a prodigious collection, to be sure. Wayne had the most, I believe - 200-ish (but then, he had kind of an inside connection). Dennis has probably bought over a hundred, but he kept gifting them away. I have 20-something today, having given a few away to friends.
Atties, on the other hand, well... that might have gotten out of control. Here's a pic of about half the stockpile (the rest are in cold storage awaiting the vapegeddon).
