That's a great set up FN. Ok if I grab that picture in case I want to show it to someone?
I don't have a Boggerthough I have admired the design immensely. I love the side squank hole. My feeder collection was well stocked before the Bogger was made so I never expanded it with a Bogger. Wood mods are wonderful, but only one I have is somewhat practical for out and about, much less in a pocket.
I tried reo's too. Fine mod. I had a Mini and a Grand. Fine mod for home use, imho -- but I like the touch of wood. And, for the first time ever, I'm going to say publicly what I didn't like and do it here where other's might find it useful.
I didn't like the throw of the button, plus it kept spinning on me and going off or I would unconsciously turn it. I couldn't tell when they were on and off and that was disturbing and perhaps, unsafe. (I had experienced a shorted atty and a mod not firing when it should is one of the warning signs.) (I believe reo has a button cover add on now which would make a difference)
Fingernails and a small squank hole don't work well together. I'd have to use both hands to squank and lots of force and I needed to have the bottle 1/2 full all the time. (after using the vmod squanking seems primitive to me).
I thought the door was well done, but I never easily could put it back on. It's a tiny little ridge the door slides smoothly into and these eyes have seen better days. If you didn't get it on just so, it would pop off. It is well made, mostly just not my cuppa tea.
I thought the battery compartment was a hair short. I don't like my batteries being that tight in a mod and the spring that compressed.
The mini simply did not hit as well as the vmod little guy. I'm not sure if there has been an internal resistance check done between the brands, (that seems to be a new fad), but it was obvious to me that the Vmods are better in that regard, in both sizes. To me, that's not as important when using 18650 batteries, but it was obvious to me on the 14500 versions.
I didnt' get used to the feel of the square coldish metal, and still don't like squared metal box mods or larger squared off wood mods.
I could be really picky and say more -- but that's pretty much it.
The XL came out and had what I wanted and I only hung on to the Grand because of all the glorious things people say about them. I even Kicked it to think that might make me like it more. The minute I got another feeder fit for a Kick, I never picked up the Grand again and decided it would be happier in a new home rather than gathering dust. I owned it for over a year and may have recharged the batteries 4 or 5 times. (btw, the mini had found a new home many months earlier)
I got my first vmod because it had features my wood models did not......and I've owned and carried one with me ever since. I love that the chimney and cone keep an atty from breaking off. It's never good to drop a mod, but is does happen. The vmod has held up extremely well with no worries of breaking a connection and killing the mod. I was also much happier with the rounded design and that original shell was never offensive, though I much prefer my rubberized fun shells. And, though similar, the vmod button is quite an upgrade in actuality...and the throw is something I can sense and even know when it is slightly off. (So I make sure it is fully to "on").
Even with some of the growing pains the original vmod1 had, it was still a pretty sweet mod and never ever leaked outside the shell. Then the VmodXL came out and it was even more of what I wanted. It held 18650 batteries and could be fed with any standard sized 510 atomizing device. It's what we here at ECF wanted in our Vmods, and Brian/Shifu made it for us.
And, it got even sweeter when Shi-fu came up with the Hybrid slant coil atty about a year ago.
So -- that's my story of Vmod vs Reo.
OOOOH, you did it now..... You may have just opened that door... My suggestion would be to copy/paste in this in every REO thread...LOL
