I recommend the grand above all, because it's easy and robust. I once asked Rob to sell me adaptors because i didn't want to damage the threads changing atomisers so often. The easiest solution and it avoids any messing about with changing bottles etc is to have your main melon vape in the bottle and just drip what you like into the RM2 or A7 or such as you fancy!

A grand over a vv?? yes, because you can just wash it in a tub of water and it'll work! My vv is for weddings and funerals only!

if you regret it - you can always sell it - for precisely what you paid for it. But you won't. I have about - looks at table - 20 different things with another 20 different things that go on them, ranging from genesis tanks to some real crap and some reliable to less useful mods.

I wish i had found these first and saved myself a little cash. My all day vape is a grand with an RM2 - both battered to oblivion nearly. But still working - and that is a testament to the design and workmanship. Oh there's always a rider to this - Rob is fast - i once sent him my grand and i had it back again within 4 days.

The only other kind of service i heard like that is for provari owners.

I am too poor to own one of those - my phone is an iPatch - it's pirated!

A full mech Grand or 2.1 runs between 3.7 (lowest I like) and 4.2 v so I think it'll do you well. What resistance coils you running? Coil resistance on a mech can be adjusted if using a rba by length of wire on a VV its easier to do. Been vaping the hell out of my mech Grand for the time being since it can go ultra low with the resistance factor(for me, 0.8-1.0ohm), VVG only about 1.2-1.3ohms. If ya like over 2.2 ohms I'd go VV. No matter what all REO's work extremely well :)

Usually my Igo L is at about 1.5-1.8ohms. I don't have a mechanical (yet) so I haven't tried any super low coils. I'm pretty sure I am going to get a Grand. I like the size, and I can always kick if I miss VV correct? Trying to decide what color, I really like the black wrinkle copper vein and the silver vein. How often do they tend to get restocked?

Robert adds them when they are ready for sale. You might see new ones at any time. When you decide on a finish click the notify me button so you will know when it is added.

What is the difference between a mini 2.0 and 2.1? I was looking at the blem's and the are a few mini 2.0's, but I didn't see what the difference is. Sorry if I missed it.

The size of the drip well. I don't have measurements on hand. But it makes a difference with some RBAs.

Ok, I'm planning on getting the RM2 when I order. Would that work with the 2.0? I wasn't planning on the mini, but at the same time I'm not sure if I like a BF yet, and the blem would save some money (and I really want to order a reo....silly I know). Thanks for the help.

Send Rob Redeyedancer a pm and ask I'm pretty sure it will fit the 2.0 but I had machined my 2.0 out a bit for my Era so I can't say for certain. If it doesn't fit Rob can make it fit for you.

There are quite a few bottom fed RBAs that work on a grand / vv grand / 2.1. The ones I am familiar with and can recommend besides the RM2 are a chalice and hornet/era.

The A7 works too as do The killer and the ebarron. And there are others that I hear of.

I am also certain that you can use dripper RBA's and drip from the top, but which ones specifically, I don't know.

Once I drilled a hole in the side of the A7 it works great with my bottom feeder. Without the hole it had no draw and sucked the juice up. Don't know if it's the same when using with the Reo.

Just my luck, one of the finishes I really like black wrinkle copper vein is in stock tonight but the RM2 isn't! I don't want to pay double shipping (23.00 to Canada) so I hope that when the RM2 is back in stock, I think I read later this week, that one of the finishes I really like is as well. Perfect end to a crap day, my ankle rolled when I was coming off a step this afternoon, almost did a face plant on asphalt. I think I twisted my left ankle and my right knee is swollen right up and bruised (sorry...just needed to vent a bit)

So....if you were me, never having tried a bottom feeder before what would be the suggestion?

I would learn how to use a bottom feeder first, then worry about what RBA to get. Once you understand your REO then you will have a clearer picture of what YOU want to put on it.

Most versatile would be the Grand, or the 2.1. or 2.0 If you end up loving bottom feeders, later on you will want a VV Grand.

edit: oh, I see you already got what you need. GL with it you will love it.
