Thanks for the kind words guys. And feel free to laugh and all that lol. I can take it.

It's just so sad.. After all these years it happened at home on my kitchen floor.... It was my first mod and favorite.... How do you replace a classic like that?? :(

Serously - are they clean breaks? We have seen some pretty bad off things put back together. (Ok, mostly split doors but...) If the breaks are clean it may not be impossible to fix it.

Chinner, better yet e-mail the images to Rob and ask. (Again, e-mail address is on his web site too.) He will get back to you and let you know what your options are. If he replies "send it in" even if he decides it's beyond regluing & repair all you will be out is the cost of postage. As it stands - a busted Reo without spending the money on postage ain't gonna get you anywhere.

Nah it's beyond repair. I made sure of that in the moments of rage that followed the break. I was so upset with myself I basically over handed the remains across the room lol. :(

Oh. I woulda done some damage to the floor instead of more damage to the Reo...

ETA: There are actually a few Woodvil Grands still up for sale from the last run Rob did.

i broke my wrist once and was so annoyed i threw myself across the room until i broke my leg too! That'll teach me!

:blink:

Seriously, if anyone can fix it Rob can and if not, it's a fabulous opportunity to buy a newer one that has all the new contacts, 510 and all those improvements that have been made since 2011.

I know you guys are right. Me slam dunking my broken reo in the trash can in rage wasn't the brightest idea for sure lol.

I saw that he still has some from the last run. It's just not the same. I was so attached to that reo lol. It had so much character and I loved the engraved door lol.

I had a Utile mini once that was beautiful, maybe I will consider a 2015.. I wonder if he would engrave the door lol

Still though to have your favorite mod one minute and then be on the hook for $300 for a new one the next is a rough deal lol. I'm so sad lol :(.

Hey Rick I appreciate the offer! I actually have an oak 14500 mini still as emergency but it's hard to build for those batteries and I don't use it much anymore. I'm gonna call Rob and see if maybe he'll jazz one of those Utiles up for me. :)
If you tell him your story and how much it meant to you, he'll gladly engrave a door for you. I'd be shocked if he didn't :)

ETA please tell him the sloth says hey and I hope he's working on mah bass :w00t:

I know you have been out of the loop for a while so you may not know that the newest AW 14500 battery has a 9 amp limit. You will still never vape that battery like a Grand but you can build much lower, safely, with the new AW 14500's.

Just curious: Wonder if your old door would fit the newer Utile? You won't know until you get one... It would be nice if you could reclaim that part of your history.

Chinner, Rob fixed one my crazy sister killed, you would never know it was in 4 pieces. And yes I remember you for a blue metal reoa few years back.

Hi guys! I'm so late to the party it's unbelievable, just realized the Reo's area is closed, and so much has changed. Most of you probably won't remember me haha. Today is a sad post. Had to share it somewhere.

Some time in the summer of 2011 (yes 2011) I was a new Vaper with a cig style just learning about Ecf. Some how I ended up finding the classifieds and at the time there was a Canada section where I found a post for an odd little wood box. I didn't even know enough about vaping to understand what I was buying but I bought it anyways.

This started a love affair with Reo's and at one point I had a pretty serious collection.

After a while I started getting over my addiction of mod collecting and scaled back to the point where I was back with only one again, my original love.

Today the magic finally ended. It's with rage and sadness and embarrassment that I show you this....

All I have to remember my OG classic reo now is this. I'm so upset it's like losing a pet.

Thanks Rob and Reoville for 5 years of smoke free fun. R.I.P. Woody. :(

Yeah, could even send the door in to Rob, to see if it fits perfectly on any of the newer woodies, that would be awesome. Maybe he could sand it down some or something to make it fit, if not!

I'm new with my woodvil and already can't imagine vaping anything else. So sorry for your loss. I've just gotten two patina minis. I want another woodvil, but can't decide. I heard he wasn't making more, but hope he does.

Maybe Rob could fit your old engraved door to a new Woodvil.
Oops. I see that idea has already been posted.

Hey Justice! Now there's a familiar name. Hope you are well!! No this one was from Phil in Montreal, who I believe bought it from Rob originally. The hornet that was on it came from you for sure. I remember you hooking me up when my first chalice broke. :)

SeaP get yourself verified so you have access to the classifieds. Other than the few Rob has left, buying used would be your only other option.

Up to this point Woodvil's were a massive undertaking by Rob, creating them hundreds to a batch. Since it's clear he wants to pursue other stuff for the time being he won't be doing that for a long time coming. No idea if it's worth the trouble for Rob to make them in smaller batches so for the foreseeable future buy Woodvil's where and when you can find 'em.

I'd like to "Like" this post but the thought of your friend's agony prevents it.

One of my friends used to work on a market stall at the weekend and he was a bit of a hippy and into all the West Indian food. So his stall sold a lot of peppers and he'd delight in eating even the hottest of them.
Only one day he had chopped one up and was showing off as usual but he'd got some of the juice on his hands.

Then he went to take a pee.....

He could dance!
