stephen1979 - Thank you for confirming Retriever's post! I don't understand though what it means that you can drip a few drops of another liquid into the juice well to try out different flavors with a Reo. Do you do this without a cartomizer on top? Can you please explain this if you have the time? I don't know what a juice well is.

The juice well is a cup that surrounds the bottom of the cartomizer or atomizer. It's there to catch any overflow from squeezing the bottle. You don't need to drip into the well. Buy a few atomizers then do the following...blow out the atomizer prior to use to clear any primer that may be in there, screw it on, add 6 drops of juice, let sit a few minutes, vape a draw or 2, add a few more drops and vape until you get a burning feeling or lack of flavor...repeat with 3-4 drops.

hairball - Thank you so much! That is very easy!! I don't know what I was worrying about! Also I appreciate your mentioning blowing into the atomizer connector! I didn't know that. I have one important question though! I'm buying about 7 tobacco flavored ejuices and about 3 menthol flavored ejuices. Would it be ok to just wash out one bottle and use the same one for the different tobacco flavors? Also, when you get the bottles(I'm getting 10ml) can you pour the ejuice back into the bottles or do they just come with droppers usually?

I just got my Reo Grand today and I wish I had skipped the 2 egos I bought earlier. I like to change flavors because I DIY and am still looking for new flavors. However, I don't change juices several times a day. Usually i vape 1-2 flavors a day and change the next. The Reo Grand comes with two bottles so it would be easy to carry the extra bottle with you and a new/spare carto if you want to change.

Personally, if I am out and about, I am not going to change flavors whether I was using an ego or a Reo. I think you will be much happier biting the bullet and going with the mod. It takes your vaping to a whole new level.

Good luck making your decision! :vapor:

You can absolutely change juices in the bottle and the juice bottles you buy have removable droppers so just remove and pour the leftovers back in for next time!

One thing to consider is that it might take a while to find your all-day vape. I've been vaping for a year now and still haven't found a juice that I want to vape all day, every day. But then, according to my girlfriend, I have commitment issues, so that might explain it. Plus, trying new flavors and vendors is fun. Personally, I think the reo is a good device for a specific kind of vaper. If you have one juice that you like and you don't want to mess around with it, just grab and go, then I think the reo is great. For me, someone who orders 6 different flavors everytime he orders from whatever vendor he wants to try, the reo isn't a good fit. My point, I think, is that you don't really know what kind of vaper you are yet. And you shouldn't get a mod that has a specific function in mind when you don't know if that's something you'll need.

Here's what I suggest, there are plenty of big battery mods out there that are really versatile. I personally go for mechanical mods (those without electric switches and fancy do-dads) such as the precise from supertmanufacturing.com. With something like that, I can drip, I can use cartos, I can use a tank if I want to have a reserve of juice and don't want to mess around with dripping. There's a lot of equipment that I can use. I'm not regulated to use the mod in a certain way. If you want to get fancy, you can get a vv device such as the buzz pro, provari, or a lavatube. Just don't force yourself to vape a certain way if you don't know if you will like it.

EMatic550 - Thank you soo much for the review!!! I have to admit I'm falling in love with the Maxi! I loved it when i first saw it! Now it's up there with the Reo!

hairball - Thank you for your opinion on the Maxi and for suggesting the other mods too!

Doomed! - Commitment issues!! That is so funnyl! I have them too so I may be the same way! lol You made a good point that I don't know what kind of vaper I will be yet and to think about buying a mod that will give me the most options! Thanks!
 
I've been vaping for less than a month...started with the eGo-T (and use it at work and while driving), but I got Silver Bullet and love it! I use it primarily with Got Vapes Fluxomizers...I think I'm just too lazy to contantly drip or mess with cartos. The Omega is next, then an Empire if they're ever back in stock, then a box mod someday, too. I can see my future as a mod junkie coming...

schnicklefritz - Thanks for the thumbs up on the Silver Bullet. I'm going to check out the Got Vapes Fluxomizers in case I end up sticking with one flavor and not experimenting although I have to admit I see myself as a possible vaping junkie in the future! lol

Eliteedge_7 - Hi!!! I think the rough stack is awesome too! And of course the Reo! :) Thank you for your encouragement!

I'm a Reo fan. I have the Grand and my wife has the Mini. We've owned other PVs and these are by far the best. Don't worry about switching flavors, it's really easy. You can buy extra bottles on the Reo site or from Perfumers Apprentice - The Flavor Apprentice - World of Flavors. My wife carries around 7 3ml bottles of juice, her Mini, an extra door, an extra atty and a couple extra batteries in an ego case. With my Grand, I make sure the bottle is full, grab a battery and have an extra atty in my bag and I'm good. You can't go wrong with a Reo.

Like the OP, I am still finding my niche, things that I have discovered, is that the Roughstack is a great noob mod, inexpensive and durable. I do find myself irritated when out and about with messing with cartos tho, so I have invested in a juice box with an all day battery, hence the Vapage Vmod XL, I am still stalking the mail lady waiting for it, but I have figured out that I tend to vape the same juice for the whole day, and I hate messing with changing batteries. I do love the Roughstack for throwing and atty on it and dripping to try different juices when I can't decided what I am in the mood for.

I might add that I did look into the Reo Grande but for me the price was prohibitive being fairly new to vaping.
