I am visiting Reoville trying to decide if a Reo is right for me. Not mechanically inclined or eager to rebuild anything so I've stayed with vv vw and tanks for a year. But here's the girl part, I keep looking at the Reos because they are so gorgeous! I love wood and as another hobby collect hand turned wooden bowls and boxes so naturally they caught my eye. What do you think, can a MVP/evic/nautilus/protank girl handle a Reo??

Most people on the forum seem to think I am male, which is funny to me. I think it's my dog <--- Her name is Violet and we are a foster home for rescue pit bulls and mastiffs. Our current foster is a white pit named Porcelena, she is pretty manly looking too. Maybe it's a theme around here!

Hi Violets Mom!

I think you would love a REO. The woods are wonderful. But the metal Grand is my choice for any new Reonaut. It will stand up to any abuse and last a lifetime.

The ease of use and durability make it the perfect PV. Add a RM2 and you can build coils to suit your style of vaping. A win for sure!

Some have began their REO use with a wood REO. They are meticulously handcrafted and hardy. They are also beautiful!

Whatever you chose, you owe it to yourself to get a REO and see the REO difference!

Hello, tmrr! I changed my avatar to something less "gender neutral" and I STILL get the "Thanks, man" all the time :facepalm:. Beautiful girl there in your avi, too!

I was MVP to Reo convert myself. At first the thought of rebuilding appalled and frightened me. Looking at that tiny little space of something like the Protanks...NO WAY do I consider that a fun adventure. I still don't rebuild those type of tank coils. The RM2, however is a piece of cake, IMHO. It's a small area, but open and visible. And there's some very comprehensive, easy to follow videos and picture tutorials in the stickies at the top of the page.

Even if building doesn't excite ya, cartos work great on the Reos, too. I haven't tried them, I have some for "emergencies," I really ought to give one a trial run one of these days. What drew me to the Reo was the constant fiddling with my tanks and clearos (leaks, gurgles, dry hits, sometimes all at once, ugh! so many qtips and paper towels, lol!). I just wanted EASY and satisfying and a helpful, cohesive community. Asked folks over here (just like you), they said I found the right place, and I made my home here.

Maybe shoulda said the girl's way of thinking????????? Ba, ha, ha!

Careful with your wording, us boys are lurking :laugh:

Awesome! I love bully babies. I will have another mastiff when life allows.

bullies in all their variations are the loves of my life. my mastiff passed away last October, she was the only foster besides Violet that I found I just could not part with. I even miss the mastiff slobber!

Just wanted to start a thread for the female gender.

I, nerak, am a woman. My name is Karen.

I know that I might cuss and drink a little. I might not always act in true "lady-like" fashion. Ask anyone that has talked with me on the phone!

But I am a 60 year old Grandma and I love my REO's!


Hey, I'm pushing 60 myself, pushing it pretty hard in fact, and I love my mechs and RBA's. I've taken some crap from the men in the vaping community for it, but since they don't interest me in the least I feel quite free to ignore them and vape on in peace.

I wanted to work in a vape store, but as it turned out they only hire hot looking 20something women for that because they want to sleep with them, not because they know anything about vaping hardware. In fact, if they did know anything about vaping hardware they might not get hired, because that's regarded as male territory by those who own the stores. Another reason they hire hot looking young women is that they bring in all kinds of men who spend lots of money there just to flirt with them and impress them.

Jump on in and get one!!! I'm not a tinkerer, and i don't enjoy rebuilding. I build some pretty lame coils when I *have* to. they vape like gold. I definitely think you can handle, and will love a reo.

I had the same concerns about getting a REO and have been looking at them for awhile. I didn't plan on getting a woodie, but naturally followed the threads and picked out my favorites. I checked out Rob's site not quite an hour after the sale started and one of my picks was still available so I took that as a sign and snagged it! No. 2 is on its way :)

I studied the rebuilding threads, ordered my wire and the Artistic Wire Gizmo. My REO arrived and with great trepidation I made my first coil, put in the cotton and got to squonking. WHEE! It was easy, fun and well worth it! I'm manual tool challenged - a hammer in my hand is more of a danger to the wall and my thumb than the nail. You can do this.

I guess I fit in here, my initials are JK. I'm Joyce aka Joy. I just had my 6 month vaperversary and my 57th birthday is in 2 weeks. A REO was going to be my husband's present to me ;). I'm not sure how I'll explain the 2nd, except to show it to him, I think he'll like the wood too. :laugh:

Reading through this thread I don't think you'll have to worry about hot looking 20 somethings, most of the ladies so far seem to be of a more "mature" age, thats not to say we always act mature. The guys in Reoville are a bunch of sweethearts. In Reoville, owning mechs and building coils is a gender neutral hobby, you will find everyone here to be extremely helpful. If you don't have a REO, get one at your earliest convenience, you will love it. (And on the slight chance you don't like it they sell in the classifieds quickly, usually your only loss is shipping fees.) Welcome to the Ville :D

My name is Donna. I've watched the Reos for years but never felt they were quite right for me. For a long time I wanted nothing to do with anything that wasn't regulated. Getting into rebuildables and mechs changed all that.
Long story short.. micros with cotton and the RMs came out and I felt that the time was right. Watching one of super_x_drifter's videos sealed the decision. I still love my provaris/kayfuns and my Rollers but the Reo/RM2 is everything I hoped it would be and more :) I was anxious about buying a woodvil because I bought a vv woodvil a couple years ago and couldn't use it because the odor made me sick... but I took a chance and am thrilled to be able to use my wenge/cocobolo :D

I will be 48 at the end of this month. Happily married to a great man who totally supports my vaping. I have a daughter in college and a son in high school. I work as a surgical tech at my local hospital.

Since I now have everything that I want and much more than I need.. I've turned my attention to buying inexpensive eGos and evods, rebuilding the evods and loaning them out to my smoker friends.

I'm happy to finally be part of the Reo family :D

I too was hesitant to jump on the RBA wagon. It wasn't something I needed to do. My 306 LR atty's were working fine!

But I was swayed by the notion of laws changing and being without a way to vape legally. So I stocked up on nic and started paying attention to what it would take to have vape gear that would last.

My first RBA was the A-7. Ordered through a co-op and the cost was about $8. Picked up a little bit of wire and with cotton for wicks I was all set. Wasn't long before I had a Reomizer also.

The first coil I built worked!! It vaped well and I was satisfied that I had myself set if online ordering for atomizers was no longer possible.

Now I run RM2's on the majority of my REO's.

It's funny reading these posts and picturing all of us sitting around a big table with our RM2's, wire and wicks building coils!

Screw the quilting bee! Us mature women wrap wire and talk DIY juice, ohms and drip tips while we fill the room with vapor!

Priceless!

Well I'm not much inclined to get a Reo, I'm not into box mods. I like my tube mods with a top side button. Never could get comfortable with the bottom button mods. I've been using a Sigelei 24 for months now, and I'm liking that, but I'm thinking of getting the Poldiac 1 for 1 clone.

I've always gone straight genny with my RBA's, SS mesh and kanthal. I know some don't care for mesh, but it's always worked just dandy for me, and the taste issues some report have never come up for me, so I don't know what they were doing different. Some just can't get the hang of gennies I guess. No idea why.

Different strokes for different folks. I got into dripping with my Provari but that's not so easy to take on the road (don't drip & drive). I didn't want a box mod and that was another reason I hesitated to get a REO, but I really wanted the convenience and dripping flavor. I thought a grand would be too large for my baby hands, so I went with a 490 and it fits well. My second REO is a mini woodie, which I debated about because of the battery size, but it's so pretty (ebony/birdseye maple) that I decided to get it anyway. I still love my Provari and use it daily to to change up flavors to suit my mood and keep my taste buds fresh. I'm happy to have both mods. It sounds like you are happy with yours. All is good.

My name is Lisa, and a good many of you have known me and my avatar for a long time. I just turned 40 and have been vaping since March of 2010, exclusively since September of that same year...and as you can surmise, it was the Reo that finally satisfied my need. After 6 months and thousands of dollars spent on a wide variety of vaping gear, my husband & biggest supporter found the Reo and gave me my first Reo mini. With his help and Rob's creation, I changed my 26 year habit....for good. :D I then joined the ECF, to thank Rob and scream from the top my lungs that what I thought was an impossibility was indeed, achievable. The rest is history.

I am mother to one gorgeous and brilliant daughter, step mother to 3 young ladies and 2 young men, grandmother to 6, and an aunt to at least 7 as far as I can remember. I come from a super small family (mom, dad & brother) and married into the lightly organized chaos that is my new family. Lets just say if asked what type of tree my family tree resembles, I think I would say the whomping willow. Wonderful family, but wow. :blink::laugh:


In my spare time, I enjoy reading, various forms of art, and the beauty of the outdoors. I love to get dirty, play in the mud and work hard. I cuss a lot and have a less than tactful way of communicating in real life, but I keep that crazy .... tucked in when I'm here. :laugh: er...for the most part. :blush: and i suffer from occasional bouts of shyness. There...I said it. :)

So I've been called a granny since the day I married my husband....I was 30 then, and to this day, have no grandchildren by blood (thank goodness). But it only took me a few days to get used to it. But vape granny??? :lol: That is a first! No worries, I'll get used to it. I am in fantastic company. :wub: Vape grannies rock!
