I received my LR 801's and all I can say is why would anyone use an 801 over a 510? Those 801's are freakin' huge and don't put out like a 510. I'm sticking with a HV 510 atty and 2 3v CR123's. Works best for me.

I have to agree, I tried a LR 801 and it was meeh. It died within 8 hrs. Tried an XHV 801 at 6V - meeh squared. I too am sticking with either a HV 501 or regular 901 at 6V. Works like a champ.

Got my REO yesterday (fast!), it's absolutely gorgeous. But I'm working very heavy hours and had no time to break it out; left for work this morning, put in some time, fell in a driveway and broke/sprained my foot badly, ow, ow. I have a gigantic foot just now. Off to the doc in a minute, but what this means is...
I have all afternoon afterward to play with my REO! The universe is good. Will review as soon as I limp back home. (This is the cup half full strategy for happy living...)

Sound great let us know how it works out for you!!!
Sorry to hear about your accident!
This is just a beautiful, beautiful thing. I'm deeply enjoying my sprained foot on account of it.
Thanks to the terrific help and advice in here the learning curve was brief. Liking it best by FAR on 810 LR; the 510 that Robert kindly sent is nice, but doesn't have nearly the output. Can't imagine wanting more vapor or taste, this is really massive. I'm using an Ultrafire 3.7V 3000mAh 18650 batt... only thing is, the atty gets really HOT and I get a burnt taste... I've flooded it enough that the well was a mess, so it's not dryness doing that. Also got a mouthful of juice a few times, ptooey, so trying to find the sweet spot.
I mentioned that I've only used V4L cartos and batts (love them) and have never dripped in my life (filled a kazillion cartos, tho). What do I do to maintain all of this...? At this point it's sticky fingers and q-tips.
Ah... a bit of sage advice - do not remove full bottle when said bottle is not fairly vertical. I am sometimes an amazing idiot. But wow, this is lovely, warm, big vape...

No, I didn't. I'm having to learn all about attys and atty care - my apologies for bringing all of this newbie stuff here. Everything swinging smooth, sweet and beautiful again - I'm studying up where I should be in the forum. Love my Reo!!!!!
aubergine,
Sorry about your foot, but glad your rockin' on the REO. When the bottle is full, it almost self feeds, especially with an 801. And yes, 510's do run a bit warm and do tend to flood.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me,

Thanks for the advice Amajn, I been trying LR 510's... Not bad!
Also I like the 901 regular @ 6v, 302/801 regular @ 6v, LR 801.
Hell, they are all pretty friggin good! (not sure about the LR 510 carto's yet)
Short, fat, tall, small I like em all!

Sounds good i have been also rocking the LR510 atty at 3.7 man its awesome
can somebody tell me the difference between the REO and the wetbox at 3.7v besides the looks of the REO. I am talking about performance. I was going to buy the REO but after reading all the reviews and seeing that everybody likes it at 3.7V with LR attys I rather to buy a much cheaper mod like the wetbox and use it with LR attys too.
The 18650 voltage doesn't drop off during use.
The reservoir is the best part, any mod without that will leak.
I think my grand kids inherit the REO because it will never die.
Battery box mods do not take much abuse.
