If you have the cash, certainly go for it. Have a look around on the bottom feed forums (and the REO forums too), you'll see few complaints and many, many people saying they should have pulled the trigger earlier in their vaping careers.

If you are looking for a similar vaping experience then you can get a VMOD (XL) for about a third to half of the price.

I have a two VMOD's and they are what I use about 95% of the time. Saying that, I will be getting a REO next month for my 6 month anniversary.

Convinced ordered and see you in reoville ^_^

You will not be disappointed! After I got mine, I realized that is exactly the vape I was searching for. I hesitated as I didn't like box mods but since I got my REO, nothing else compares. My Provari hasn't been used in weeks. My vamo 4 has only been used once. I can't see myself buying anything else. I now own 6 rm2's and 3 REO's. I plan on getting number 4 in a couple weeks.

I've been exploring the bottom feeder thing with a Vmod XL that I got at half price. I modified an IGO-L to work with it. All in for about $75 with spare bottles and shipping. Was really not sure that I would like it.

It's great. I don't have one, but IMO the Reo is one of the best. It would really surprise me if you didn't like it!

And yes, people go sub-ohm with them. Not a problem at all.

Why I chose the Reo Grand after using cigalikes and kits and a bunch of other crap. It can do all of the following:

- It is compatable with 301, 510, 801 and 901 cartos and attys.
- It is compatable with Rebuildable atomizers (RBA's) and I can safely go as low as 0.6 ohms if I choose.
- It has a collapsable safety spring if I go to low on ohms.
- I don't have to worry about cracking tanks since there is no tank.
- I can drip/fill from the top or bottom feed.
- I can use 3.7v batteries up to 3000 mah or if I want more power I can use 6v batteries.
- The batteries are dirt cheap. They range from $3 to $9 each. I have been using the same batteries for almost 3 years and they still will go a day and a half at 17 hours per day no problem.
- Cartos run about $1.25 each and last anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on the juice.
- Wrapping a new coil and wick on an RBA costs less than 3 cents total. The coil will last a few weeks and the wick a few days.
- I can change the ohms of the coil based on how many wraps if I want more vapor or more warmth or more flavor/throat hit.
- I can wrap a new coil and wick in the same time it takes to fill a carto.
- Being all mechanical, there are no wires or electronics. I can and I have dropped it in a swimming pool. Change the battery and carto and I am back in business in less than 3 minutes. Try that with an electronic ecig.
- It is made out of aluminum and darn near indestructable. I throw it across the room and my dog brings it back to me. It is a game we play. I can and I have dropped it 6 feet onto concrete many times and then picked it back up and used it like nothing happened.
- I have been using the same one for almost 3 years and it is still going as strong as the day I bought it. I bought more of the same mod, just so this one wouldnt get lonely.
- I can fill the internal bottle, put a freshly charged battery in it and take it to work for 12+ hours of non stop vaping without the need to carry any extra juice or batteries or parts.

Basically I bought this because it boils down to this thing being dependable, reliable, and endless combinations available to find that perfect vape at the perfect voltage and ohms. Once you find that nirvana, for pennies a day, you will never go back.

I figure a REO will be my next mod. Only thing holding me back is I haven't found a juice that I want to vape long enough to fill up a bottle with! Have 15 'new' bottles of juice sitting here on my desk. IGO L dripper on a Provari. Try a juice, unimpressed. Drip some unflavored base. Try another flavor, unimpressed, rinse and repeat. If it is especially strong (like licorice), then pull the cotton wick, rinse, dry burn, re-wick with new cotton. I an somewhat envious of those with operable tastebuds!

Get a Reo and the RM2 rebuildable atty. I used cartos for almost 3 years on my Reo and deeply enjoyed how the juice tasted. Finally got the RM2 and and the juice is on a whole different level. Just because you don't enjoy it enough on your current setup to be an ADV, try it again after the switch. If that doesn't work, try some other vendors that get good reviews. Out of the 20 or so juice vendors I have tried off and on, there is only one vendor that makes juice that I like enough to vape all day every day.

How often do they restock the different colors on the Reos? I want a really simple all black, all silver or silver and black one with no wrinkle on it. Ive been checking the site often, but those are always out of stock.

Rob is working on a huge woodvill build right now and he has other people helping him with the metal Reos. You should be able to hit the notify me button so that you will get an email when they are available. Honestly, you cant go wrong with any of the colors. They all look fantastic. Here is a pic of one I got for the wife last week.

Edit: If you do not see the combo you like, send him a PM here on the forums. More likely than not, he can get you what you are looking for. This white/pink was not listed on his website. I PM'd him asking if it was possible and had a paypal invoice in my inbox 4 hours later. That is what customer service is all about! :thumb:

Click on the notify me and he'll get 'em in within a few days. I did that because they were out of the silver and black about three days ago. Just got the email that he has it and pulled the trigger. Reo Grand and RM2 on the way :D
