From what I been reading about the REO I see that everybody likes the REO at 3.7 V instead of 6V. if this is the case then I would buy the wetbox instead since is at 3.7V I would be using it with LR attys too. I know the REO box is beautiful but I dont care about that I just care about performance and I heard the wetbox delivers. Please help me out here and tell me if the REO is better at 3.7v than 6V? I was going to buy the REO because u can smoke it at 6V but like I said it looks like everybody is using it at 3.7V with the LR attys. Thank you for your help

later this week futbol I can give you a side by side review. I'm a gadget junky and since I've been vaping (two months) I've bought the: Precise, ScrewDriver,REO, REO "lefty", The V3, The V3 passthru, and now waiting on the WetBox.
So far I love my REO "lefty" the best.
And yes, I'm gonna be listing some of these PV's for sale in the classified section soon :)

Once I know exactly which pv's I will always use and keep.

The REO "lefty" is a special left handed REO I had Robert make for me (pic attached)
I ordered the wet box because it's smaller and I want to see how well I like it. I have a bad addiction to buying toys. Always been that way with computers, cell phones, televisions, cameras etc... and now vaping gives me an expensive outlet for that character flaw.

I have never been able to make 6v work with my REO, so I only use it at 3.7 and love it.... can't imagine vapor production being any better than that.

Well, I'll throw in here with my observations.

I've had my REO for about a month.

It has been trouble free. No drips, no leaks, no mis-fires, no maintiance.
At 6V, depending on the Atty and Juice, it performs like a Halloween fog machine.
I tend to use 6V with an HV 510 for the Morning Call and while at work, then switch down to 3.7 and an LR 801 for chilling out at night.
A Std. 901 at 6V can be a bit hot, ditto the std. 510.
I am starting to really love 801's.
Have not felt a need or desire to try carto's - I just don't like them.
Is there a 'learning curve'? Yes, there is. Is it steep? Not really.

AFAIK, the wetbox only takes carto's, the REO takes everything, so you can experiment.

One side effect of owning a REO is that now the battery in my SB lasts 2 weeks and my eGo battery has lasted me almost a month:2cool:.

I have the REO and the wetbox. No comparison. The 14500 battery in the wetbox just doesn't give you what the 18650 does. I don't dislike my wetbox but if I could only have one it would be the REO. I like the button better, the versitility and the beauty of it. Also the wetbox is very small. It is a well built little mod but not in the same category as the REO.

it will work great on my trip to alabama

Lawnman - be sure to pack a couple of extra atomizers or cartos in your pocket for the trip. Since the battery lasts so long, the next weak link is the heater. I had my atty go pfft 6 hours from home a couple of weeks ago, and I'm not going through THAT again. :(
 
I will always have a REO. Can't wait to buy about 5 more of them just in case I lose one or two by gifting them away to precious others. There is no better alternative to a vaping solution that I can see out there for now. There are lots of other options. Some are great options too. But the REO meets the call of duty for me best, and is done up in the natural beauty of "wood" from Mother Earth herself.

Absolutely perfect.

I'm connected to superb vaping functionality (at 3.7v or 6v) and connected to Mother Earth which on a deeper level connects me to the entire universe. Hmmm .... guess I'm just a guy that likes to feel connected huh?:)

Nothing better to enhance my vape out on the patio deck hanging out with Mother Nature enjoying a nice beverage. Therapy.... real therapy here folks. Connectedness on a subtle and primal level.

Love my REO. I suggest folks buy one or borrow one and give it a try. I think they will see what we are all talking about here. Those that love the GG's, the Fist packs, the wet box, V3's ..... all those are great units I'm sure .... but so is the REO. I say ... don't short change yourself. Get one. You won't regret it.

Do not get mad at me I know this is a REO forum, but I need a little help here be honest with me though. I was going to buy the REO after reading so many nice reviews, however I found this box name Kaji it looks just like the reo but much smaller. I have seen the reviews of the kaji too and they are great. The Reo looks nice but so does the kaji. I am kindda heading more towards the kaji since is smaller. If someone u know has the kaji and the reo please help me here. I like them both. thank u

I also saw the Kaji before ordering my Reo, the selling point for me was the _solidness_ of the Reo .. the Reo is carved out of a _block_ of wood, there are no connection points/assembly points on the body ... the Kaji is "put together" with a thinner wood .... so my theory was/is , if I happen to drop it, or it gets knocked off a table,etc ... it's not going to break ... LOL it could probably get run over by a car and have nothing happen to it ! ( for me, that's called a good investment) That's what made the decision for me :) and for the record, I LOVE my Reo !!!!!

For me its simple the reo in my opinion is well thought out.Look at the inside of the mod for instance clean plumbing.You don't see globs of solder to keep the mod from leaking.The wood work on the inside of the mod is cleaner.The reo has a six month warranty the kaji only has two.I myself don't like a copper pipe inserted into a Chinese made atomizer seems a bit risky to me.Not to mention the reo has been tested heavily.the reo has a six ml bottle and changing fluids is much easier in my opinion.You can run just about any atomiser or cartomiser you want on the reo.Good luck I hope you make the right choice



P.S. The mini REO will be out soon!

thank you guys for all your help. now I run into another mod is call the buzz it has a adjustable voltage and a feeding system too that attaches to it. I know kaji is coming out with a 5v box but to be honest I do not understand all this stuff about voltage. all I know is 3.7 and 6v.. man I just want to buy the perfect mod. is it true that if u adjust the voltage the juice tastes different? by the way can u give me the webpage of the REO? thank you
