I have been going back and forth between selling my Provari and getting a Reo instead. I do love the Provari. It is dependable and gives me a really good vape with my kayfun but after trying a couple of drippers on my mech mod and hearing how Reos are like dripping upside down i am tempted to make the change.

a good build in a quality dripper has ruined a lot of otherwise fantastic equipment to a lot of people.. i had pawned off most of my clones on my son.i bought a tiny igo dripper on a whim and set it up for him.then i noticed he wasn't using any of the other devices at all. when i asked him he said " i just can't go back to tanks. it's ok, i love my little dripper". so now i have to sell/give away about a half dozen chinese devices and probably 30 tanks of various sorts....live and learn...

For me nothing touches my Reo's now! Before I discovered them I was using a Provari with a Kayfun. That is a great vape, but I got tired of setting up the Kayfun over and over. But I'm hanging on to the Provari and Kayfun, fine devices, can't bring myself to part with them. That being said I highly recommend the Reo, you will never regreat that purchase! I've used mine exclusively since I got them. Honestly, the Reo with the RM2 is a better vape than the Kayfun IMO. And definitely a lot less hassle!

Chipotle.
Bottom feeder would win every time in my book, EVERY time. Once you use a bottom feeder you immediately know "what is up" with the world, it's like when Dorothy opened the doors for the very first in Wizard of Oz and everyone saw color instead of black and white.

Get the Reo, you'll wonder what took you so long to get one before.

Omg you just started a thread that pits the two biggest fanboy camps against each other.

Suggestion:
Unsubscribe to thread.
Run away quickly.
Make own decision.
Come back in a week and laugh at 5k post thread.

There will be blood on the floor. Just walk away and don't look back.

    Well, the thing that draws people to the Reo, mostly.. what drew me in, was pretty simple.

    Dripping is the best way to vape, once I got into rebuildable dripping atomizers, I forgot about anything else. Then when I tried subohm dripping, that sealed the deal for me. Nothing else literally even comes close to the flavor EXPLOSION, and the DENSE lung fill that a subohm RDA setup provides.

    But there are times when dripping, just sucks. Driving to work? How am I supposed to drip when Im flying down the parkway in rush hour traffic at 85mph? Or what about just out and about? Sometimes I need to vape, without thinking about vaping.

    A lot of drippers suggest the Kayfun for such circumstances. Well, I tried that. EXTENSIVELY. Didn't do it for me.

    Enter Reo.

    I get literally the same vape experience I get on any of my mech/rda setups, except I never have to think about dripping. EACH vape tastes like a freshly dripped coil, you've got 6mls on board, its a small little thing...

    The Reo in unbeatable for on the go vaping.


    I still like my mechanicals paired with an RDA for most of the time, but when I need to be able to vape without thinking about vaping, the Reo is king. Mine is ALWAYS setup, ready to go, so I can just grab it on my way out the door.

    I bought a REO with an RM2 because they have such a following. I'm a provari/kayfun guy but I really wanted to see what all the buzz was about. I loved the REO ....great little device, great vape. I used it exclusively for a couple weeks. I went back to my other set ups and realized I like them better for out and about. I don't use the REO very often anymore but it is an excellent device if thats how you want to vape. You can't really go wrong with either one. I do like having the versatility with the provari.....but I really like having both. I'd get the REO....when it comes time to get the provari, the P3 might be out.

    I have both. My Provari sits on the desk and the Kayfun in the box of tanks. I keep them as backup till I can get a second Reo. I don't regret getting the Provari but I do regret not getting the Reo sooner.

    I started with a V2 then Halo Triton, MVP, Provari and finally the Reo. I was never 100% sure I was going to be able to quit and not go back to smoking until I got the Reo.

    if i could only choose one, reo with subohm kit for sure.

    I started with provaris, while they are nice. They are outdated and limited compared to newer chips. The build quality however is outstanding, nobody will argue that.

    I sold mine off simply because it would not allow me to build a coil less than 1.0 ohm, which I found out after about 7 months with my provari.

    With the reo, you can basically do anything you want. Not to mention squonking is fun lol. I dont own a reo, but have tried my friends. I loved it.

    OK. You caught me in the right mood and.... You asked for it:

    Your jealousy is showing. Which one is it that you regret not buying so now you have to resort to name calling to make yourself feel better about your inferior device choice? Which of the two mentioned devices makes you envy so much to call names?

    Answer that, and you will provide the answer the OP asked for.
