I am still trying to get a P67.
Not having much success... "you don't need that"
Yes...I DO !

Help perhaps Rio folks. I kinda want one, I was gonna go big with the Rio grand, that's the one that can take any squonker right? What is a good (more inexpensive) MTL squonk topper that would be good? I have almost ZERO rda experience etc.
I added a repair kit, I figured that might be useful seems to have most of the spare parts... Help? I am sure I will have questions about using it, but with that said, I really do want to get one and try to squonk for seriously. LOL.

REO Grand or P67 will accommodate any squonker. If it's a grand, just make sure you get the LP model (low-profile).
Hiya Anna!!
The grand LP has a raised "landing deck" that's only about 20mm. So personally, I think it looks funny with a bigger RDA on it. I do like some skinny RDA's, they're just a little harder to find...
For other toppers - more common 22 or 24mm, I prefer the P67.
Also notice the different fire button location - some people prefer one over the other because of that...
Here's my two beat up road warrior reos:
Grand on the left, P67 on the right!
EDIT - ALSO, on the Grand there? That has a "button cover". The Grand comes with a smaller diameter little button poking up - I've always had a button cover on mine...

In fairness, I have to speak up as a hard core Reo Grand disciple. It seems like the P-67 is getting all the love and attention here. From an engineering standpoint the Grand is built to be fairly bullet proof. The P-67 is a real beauty for sure, and I own several of them, but the they have little niggly points that will require more attention than a Grand. If my life counted on no hassle reliable sqounking, my easy pick is the Reo Grand. I think they look just fine with a 22mm RDA too.

^^^ true this, methinks. If I had to have one mod that will see me through the rest of my life, I'd pick a Grand. It's simpler and had years more field testing/refinement. Now, we're talking about two mods that are both gonna last 10 - 20x the lifetime of most every mass produced piece of gear, but I'd give the edge to the Grand for reliability.
I love and own multiple grands and P-67’s. The main thing that makes me favor the P-67 is that the contact is not switching against the battery. My grands all arc against the battery, creating more maintenance issues.
Wow! My package is coming today! Haha
Great timing as my wife is on her way to California right now for a business meeting and she dont like to fly and the household (kids 10 and 14) and i will be a mess for 4 days!

I was unable to get the dental floss trick to work for the long haul so I ended up with a new button cover/spring set. Im betting Eric will make it right. Just give him a holler.
He emailed me back right away with a fix that I will try. It was my original thought too.
Now, maybe another one!

Dont wait too long as we really have no idea when they will finally close the doors.
Unless you heard something? Haha
